Following the great success of both the York and Sandbanks midweek breaks, we are delighted to return to St Brelade’s Bay Hotel, Jersey, for our April 2016 midweek break.
St Brelade's Bay is a luxurious and friendly 4* hotel which has a truly special location, set in 5 acres of stunning gardens and overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches in the Channel Islands. The entire hotel was lovingly refurbished in 2011 to the highest standard and in 2012 opened a state of the art Health Club, with indoor swimming pool, relaxing spa and steam room. The hotel has tennis courts and the renowned Le Moye golf course is nearby.
Jersey is the most southerly point in the British Isles and has a unique climate as it is only fourteen miles from France and warmed by the Gulf stream. You can fly with the group from Gatwick with British Airways (flights not included in the package price) or travel independently.
There will be an optional half day excursion to discover the delights of the island.

We are excited to have found a lovely small hotel, the 4* Superior Cristal Palace, nestled in the valley between the Brenta Dolomites and the glaciers of Adamello and Presanella. Madonna di Campiglio is very fashionable and is Italy’s number one ski resort.
The Cristal Palace Hotel is just 200 metres from the Pradalago cable car and 700 metres from Madonna di Campiglio’s centre. We have arranged a private minibus to take our groups to the ski lift each morning.
The hotel features the Cristal Energy Spa, a large fitness and wellness centre with indoor swimming pool. The restaurant has a panoramic terrace overlooking the mountains. Please note that whilst the hotel is lovely, the 4* Superior rating is Italian and not comparable to 4* Superior hotels in Switzerland or Austria, which is reflected in the package price.
Val Campiglio, in the upper Rendena, is home to the well-known Madonna di Campiglio – pearl of the Brenta Dolomites. The variety of its mountain surroundings offers countless kilometers of ski runs up to an altitude of 2600m with varying degrees of difficulty.
We will arrange for our wonderful ski leaders, headed by Suzi McArthur and Paul Ubysz, to join us in Madonna. The ski leaders are current or former Ski Club of Great Britain reps. Jack and Annabel will be running all other aspects of the holiday.
We do hope that you can join us on our inaugural visit to explore the delights of Madonna di Campiglio. Please book early to avoid disappointment.

*** One Place Left (as of 8th April)*** The 5* Le Meridien, St Julian’s, is enviably located in the pretty Balluta Bay leading to the Mediterranean Sea. St. Julian's started life as a little fishing village and this working tradition is still in evidence with brightly coloured boats bobbing about on the almost too-blue water. Valletta, the island's historic capital and UNESCO World Heritage centre, is just a 20 minute drive from the hotel.
The Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, with Malta 93km south of Sicily and 288km north of Africa.

Captivating places of interest are the world famous Hypogeum selected as a place of World Heritage by UNESCO, prehistoric temples and grand palaces, to name but a few.
