WHY CHOOSE August?

August is the month that the UK pulls out all the stops; it’s the time of the year when we can let down our flower-crowned hair at a festival and splat the rat at a summer fete, or just lie lazily on the beach without feeling even the slightest twinge of guilt as we know September and its seriousness will roll around soon enough. For some guaranteed sunshine, it’s probably best to head further afield, though you’ll have to embrace the masses if you go to one of Europe’s most popular seaside resorts, but we have some better suggestions for you to explore.

Comporta

Portugal’s winning combination of sandy beaches, dramatic scenery and world-class golf courses has kept it firmly on the holiday map for decades.

And if all that wasn’t enough, the country also has excellent weather credentials, basking in around 300 days of sunshine a year!

The Algarve

Curving round the south coast is the Algarve region, which has a dramatic coastline scalloped with sandy bays and secluded coves. Resort-wise, you can choose between large, lively towns and sleepy fishing villages. This pocket of Portugal is also one of the best places in Europe for golfers – and trust us when we say some of the courses are truly spectacular.

Opulence meets wilderness in Tanzania.

It’s fast becoming a draw for those who want a holiday that mixes sun-kissed glamour with really wild wildlife, and we can make that dream become a reality. The Tanzanian archipelago has it all: Masai warriors, friendly locals, and one of Africa’s most dramatic spectacles: the Great Migration.
