Condé Nast & BA present The Luxury Travel Fair
The most exclusive and rare travel experiences from around the world will return to Olympia this June for a second year as Condé Nast Traveller presents The Luxury Travel Fair with British Airways. Showcasing remote islands, spa resorts, private game reserves, epic rail journeys, six star cruises and exclusive and unusual accommodation from city chic to country retreat, discerning visitors are invited to meet the connoisseurs of luxury travel, take advantage of special offers, relax and enjoy spa treatments, as well as hear inspirational tales from celebrated travellers.Destination opportunities at the Fair will include safaris to suit all tastes, from romantic to child-friendly, including hot new destinations such as Southern Tanzania & Mozambique. Safari in the un-spoilt southern Tanzania, rarely explored by travellers, then escape to an island off Mozambique in the Bazaruto archipelago, with horse-riding and sand-boarding down the magnificent dunes at sunset.
For something even more relaxing discover dreamy holiday ideas including floating thatched suites in Maldivian lagoons, complete with optional Ayurvedic treatments in the open-air. Or experience extreme indulgence without the guilt, as the Fair uncovers a private eco-luxury island villa in the Seychelles complete with world-class beach and dive site.
For the closet train-spotter one of the worlds top ten rail holidays will be represented - The Palace on Wheels which runs from Delhi through the regal cities of Rajasthan and Udaipur via Ranthambhore National Park before a penultimate stop in Agra to view the Taj Mahal.
Or maybe book a tailor-made whistle-stop South American tour designed by those in the know. Brazilian highlights could include the buzz of Rio de Janeiro and sophisticated resort of Búzios as 'discovered' by Brigitte Bardot, combined with the magnificence of Iguazu Falls. Then take in the magical Machu Pichu with a private tour of the ruins, or a cruise in the Galapagos.
From five-star hotels with serious city views to unusual and characteristic hotels and homes, the Fair unveils a far-reaching variety of accommodation. There is a beautiful villa in the elite ‘Languedoc Roussillon’ region of the Cote d’Azur, a 16th century French olive oil mill, an ancient tower perched on the Amalfi coast, a family-owned shooting lodge in the Scottish Highlands, and a converted barn in the Lakes close to Cockermouth of recent ‘Miss Potter’ fame.
