MallorcaOur long association with the island - we have operated holidays here since 1979 - backed by an in-depth knowledge ofhotels and their locations ensures you will be booking with the No.1 specialist operator to this destination.

Whether you plan a short break or a more leisurely holiday, the diversity of the island scenery will enhance your stay. Ourunrivalled selection of hotels, with full around the island coverage, means we have something for everyone but do let ushelp you make a choice:

The North-west mountain villages - A spectacular 60-mile coastline dominated by the Tramuntana Mountains cascadingdown to rocky coves lapped by crystalline waters. Enchanting villages like Deià, Valldemossa, Banyalbufar and Estellencscling to the hillsides and have always been a mecca for artists.

The island interior - Almost untouched by time where agriculture is more important than tourism. Old values still prevailand the weekly markets are a customary meeting place. You can experience life at a slower pace in Santa Maria del Camì,Binibona and Santa Margalida.

The best beaches - If you like sand between your toes, stay at our hotels in Port de Pollença, Formentor, Cala Sant Vicenç,Porto Petro and Son Servera but, with no fewer than 75 beaches around the island, you will be spoilt for choice anyway.

The South & West coastlines - A haven for sailors with numerous marinas full of yachts. You can see some of the best inPort d’Andratx, Adriano and Portals; these also have trendy boutiques and restaurants. But there are sandy beaches as well,all along the coast, often with water sports.

The ‘must be visited’ Palma - Do spend a day in the island capital where modern boulevards and international designerstores contrast with multitudes of shopping lanes in the old quarter. Visit the famous Cathedral, art galleries and museums.A stroll along the main promenade past hundreds of sleek yachts could well heighten your wish for a lottery win.

Castaways and Mallorca - a well tested combination for the perfect holiday.

MadeiraThe island of Madeira is a paradise of flowers and trees with mild winters and gentle summers making it a perfect all yearround holiday retreat. Fashionable since the early 19th century, the island continues to captivate tourists with its leisurelyatmosphere and spectacular scenery. Extinct volcanic mountains, dense forests and cascading waterfalls contrast with thepastoral countryside. A myriad of irrigational water courses with accompanying footpaths, known as ‘Levadas’, enable keenwalkers to explore most of the island. This delightful sub-tropical destination is a must for botanists who will appreciatethe flourishing flora and fauna.

The capital, Funchal, has a daily fruit and fish market ablaze with local colour. Elegant colonial style architecture givesa graceful air to the busy narrow streets. Explore the old quarter with its cobbled streets, taste vintage Madeira wine inthe many bodegas or be tempted by the hand embroidered linen and dazzling jewellery and leather stores. In thecountryside, high above the sea, Estreito de Camara de Lobos is a sheltered locality well known for its productive vineyards.A few miles below, lays Camara de Lobos, a busy fishing village which featured in many paintings by Sir Winston Churchill.Ideally placed for levada walking.

Standing high above Funchal and well removed from the hustle and bustle, Sao Goncalo, Choupana and Monte enjoypanoramic views towards the sea. In bygone days, there were vast estates incorporating hunting lodges and ornamentalgardens in Sao Goncalo. This is also home to the famous Palheiro Golf Course. Choupana is on a lush hillside and enjoysthat ‘away from it all’ feeling. Monte is an area of magnificent scenery with many historic associations including the famouswicker toboggan run. Here you will find the Monte Palace Tropical Garden. A frequent cable car service connects Montewith Funchal.

Our carefully selected collection of hotels includes some of the best four and five star properties on the island and thefinest country house style quintas. We can even create a two-centre or gentle touring holiday to your precise wishes, oryou can combine a trip here with some time on the mainland. Let the delights of this island captivate you. An abundanceof flowers, the tranquillity and dramatic beauty of the interior and, above all, the friendliness of thepeople.

We offer the finest Châteauxand the most noteworthy hotels in the much favoured regions of the country and you can be assured of a warm welcome,civility and, above all, memorable cuisine.

The compensationwe offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so.In accordance with EU regulations 2111/2005 we are required to advise you of theactual carrier operating your flight/connecting flight/transfer. We do this byinforming you of the name of the airline at the time of booking. Any changes tothe actual airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you assoon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate. Such achange is deemed to be a minor change. Other examples of minor changes includealteration of your outward/return flights by less than eight hours, changes toaircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same standard.If we make a major change to your holiday, we will inform you or your travelagent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure.

In all cases, except where the major change arises due to reasons of forcemajeure, we will pay compensation as detailed above.

Force majeureWe will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travelarrangements in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstancesbeyond our control. These can include, for example, war, riot, industrial dispute,terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverseweather conditions, epidemics and pandemics, unavoidable technical problems withtransport.

Any request for changes to be made must be in writing fromthe person who made the booking or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay anadministration charge of £30 per person and any further cost we incur in makingthis alteration. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer tothe departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon aspossible. Travel arrangements may not be changeable after a reservation has beenmade and any alteration request could incur a cancellation of up to 100% of thatpart of the arrangements.

Alterations cannot be made within 28 days of departure and any such request foran alteration will be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and will besubject to the relevant cancellation charges shown in the table below. Any requestfor a change to the date of your holiday will be treated as a cancellation(incurring the applicable cancellation charges) and a new booking and theappropriate terms of these booking conditions will apply. The addition of car hire,extra persons, meals, in-flight meals or reserved seats at any time will not bepenalised except where made within 21 days of departure when an amendmentcharge will be applied. Once the holiday has commenced, no refund will be madeif accommodation is not occupied or is vacated prior to the end of the bookedperiod or if pre-paid meals are not taken or car hire is cancelled or reduced induration.

For flight inclusive bookings, you must also pay thecharges levied by the airline.

Since we incur costs incancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay the applicablecancellation charges up to the maximum shown below.
