Relaxation

We all live busy lives and so finding the time and the right place to relax is not always easy.

Every now and then we need to grab a book, treat ourselves to a spa treatment and spend a few days unwinding. On a holiday, relaxation is an essential ingredient but we all relax in different ways.

Travel to a remote corner of the world and find yourself on a deserted beach at Vamizi Island, before watching the sunset with a glass of local hooch or stay at a family-friendly resort such as Inialia, Phuket where the children can roam free, learn to dive, surf or even camp out under the stars. Or indulge yourself with a Maldives beach holiday. Talk to our team of experts and tell them how you like to unwind and we’ll find you the perfect place in which to do it.

Wellness and Spa holidays

Wellness holidays focus on your health and treat you from the inside out. Not only will you feel rejuvenated, rebalanced and de-stressed but you can also benefit from a complete health reboot and bags of energy. Just a few simple changes to your lifestyle can make a world of difference to your health and wellbeing.

Spa holidays, on the other hand, offer pampering and pure indulgence. We can tailor-make properties to cater for your every spa need, from Balinese massages, spa pools and an array of relaxing treatments.

Illona Cross

Before joining Steppes Travel over 25 years ago, I spent a decade working as a ranger, guide and lodge manager across Southern and East Africa. It’s also deeply personal place for me: I got married in Africa, honeymooned in Africa and still return every year with my family – proof that my love for the continent runs far deeper than just professional experience.
