Beach Getaway

Beach Getaway

Relaxing and unwinding together on a white-sand beach under a clear blue sky is the perfect environment for a stress-free group holiday. Not only will you enjoy the sun and sea during the day and bond over laidback meals and drinks in the evenings, but a beach getaway also offers plenty of group activities like beach volleyball and snorkeling.

There are so many beautiful beaches all over the world, you can repeat this type of holiday annually with your group and never have to repeat a location.

Some of our favourite beach getaway destinations are Hawaii, Cancun and the Bahamas.

Ski Trip

For winter enthusiasts who love to weave activities into their holidays, look no further than a ski trip. A group trip on the slopes is unforgettable, especially if you’re sharing new experiences and learning to ski or snowboard together. Ski resorts also offer plenty of apres-ski activities ensuring you’ll never be bored on your trip.

There are so many breathtaking skiing destinations to choose from. We love the beauty of Whistler in British Columbia, Aspen in Colorado, or anywhere in the Alps!

Safari Adventure

Safari Adventure

Between seeing majestic wildlife up close, to exploring vast savannas, and witnessing stunning sunsets, there’s never a dull moment on a safari adventure. Experiencing the thrill of wild animals in their natural habitat and the beauty and wonder of the world with a group of friends or family is a must for your bucket list.

There are National Parks all across Africa where you can see the Big 5: African elephant, African lion, Cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros. Our top picks are Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, and Kruger National Park in South Africa.



Cultural Immersion

Cultural Immersion

A group trip focused on immersing yourself in the culture of a country is an enriching experience. Visiting museums, historical sites, festivals, and of course indulging in traditional cuisine is a great way to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of your destination and can also help preserve and promote the local culture and economy.

The globe is full of countries with rich cultures, you just have to know where to look. Explore cultural attractions in Japan, uncover unique traditions in Spain, and get a glimpse into the rich history of India for your next group holiday.

Road Trip

Road Trip

Nothing screams ‘group holiday’ more than a road trip. The promise of adventure, unexpected detours, pit stops, and discovering hidden gems is a bonding experience like no other.

Journeying along the stunning coast of California on the legendary PCH, enjoying breathtaking scenery across the North & South Islands of New Zealand, or witnessing a wild array of landscapes across the four nations of the UK are all unmissable road trips for your group.

Wine Tasting

Wine Tasting

If you consider yourself a wine connoisseur or even just a casual enthusiast, a wine-tasting holiday is both fun and educational, and a trip your grip will surely never forget. Taste different types of wine, learn about the winemaking process, and enjoy the stunning scenery of vineyards.

Sip and savour your way through some of the world’s most beautiful wine regions including France, Italy, and Portugal.



Island Hopping

Mediterranean Island Hopping

Island hopping your way through the Mediterranean with a group of friends or family is the best way to see more of the world and explore multiple cultures in one trip. Share meals made from fresh local ingredients, swim in warm crystal-blue waters, take in the awe-inspiring views and then hop to the next island on your itinerary and do it all over again!

Island hopping in Greece, Croatia, or the Maltese archipelago, or perhaps a combination of all three, will leave your group with a strong wanderlust before your trip has even ended.

Music Festival

Music Festival

More interested in dancing the night away on your next trip away? For music lovers, a group holiday to a music festival is an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re a seasoned festival-goer or a first-timer, destination music festivals are an opportunity to meet new people, try new foods and of course, enjoy the music!

With overseas festivals like Coachella, Tomorrowland, and Glastonbury on the cards, you’ll have a hard time deciding where your group should go first.



Planning A Group Trip

Like any trip, planning is the key to a successful group holiday. Deciding as a group on an itinerary, a budget, dates, and accommodation will ensure everyone is on the same page and avoid misunderstandings when you get there.

It’s also a good idea to organise your currency before your trip so you have one less thing to worry about.
