✨Up to 20% off – the best time to secure the Ikos & Sani lifestyle✨

Some holidays are about more than just where you go. They’re about how it feels from the moment you arrive.

Right now, many of our preferred partners have launched exceptional early booking offers, and two that continue to stand out for our clients are Ikos Resorts and Sani Resort.

With early booking savings of up to 20% on selected resorts, now is the ideal time to secure your preferred suite or villa, particularly in the most sought-after categories.

So good, in fact, that we’ve taken advantage of the offer ourselves and booked an Ikos resort for our own holiday.

Booking early isn’t just about savings. It’s about choice, availability, and securing the accommodation that truly fits how you want to holiday.

If Ikos or Sani has been on your wish list for 2025, 2026 or beyond, now really is the moment to start the conversation.

✨Mauritius Monday - Why this island stays with you long after you’ve returned home ✨

One of the reasons Mauritius continues to be such a favourite with our clients isn’t just the beaches or the sunshine, it’s the people.

Back in September, Ian had the opportunity to visit Beachcomber Resorts in person and experience first-hand what so many of our clients talk about when they return home. The warmth of the welcome, the pride in service, and that unmistakable Mauritian charm that makes you feel genuinely looked after from the moment you arrive.

Since then, we’ve spent time talking properly with our clients. Listening to what matters most to them, whether that’s exceptional food and drink, relaxed luxury, space for families, adults-only calm, or a resort that simply feels right. From there, we’ve matched them to the Beachcomber resort that best fits their needs, not just the one with the biggest name.

Time and again, feedback comes back the same:
✨Outstanding hospitality
✨Consistently excellent dining
✨A calm, polished atmosphere that never feels forced

It’s why Mauritius is always high on our list of places you should experience at least once.
And for those who love to plan ahead, we can now secure Beachcomber holidays right through to October 2028, locking in availability and value on some truly special resorts.

If Mauritius has ever been on your wish list, this is one destination that really does live up to the reputation.

✨Even we couldn’t resist… here’s where we’ve booked🥂

After a very busy weekend helping our clients take advantage of the earliest holiday sales we’ve seen, we decided to do something we don’t always prioritise enough…

We booked our own holiday.

We’ve taken advantage of the current Ikos Resorts and Sani Resort early booking sale and secured a stay at Ikos Olivia in Halkidiki.

We’ve booked a Deluxe Two Bedroom Beachfront Villa, and by booking early, we’ve saved thousands compared to peak-season pricing.

This is exactly why early sales matter.

It’s not just about price, it’s about securing the best accommodation, the best locations, and the best value before availability tightens.

When deals are strong enough that even travel consultants jump on them for their own holidays, it’s usually a very good sign.

We’ll share more about our trip soon, but if these early sales have got you thinking about your next escape, now really is a smart time to start the conversation.

✨ The earliest holiday sales we’ve ever seen are officially live ✨

This weekend has been a busy one for us at Tailormade Escapes, and for a very good reason.
Several of our holiday partners have launched their earliest-ever sales, much earlier than we would normally expect.

What does that mean for our clients?
✨Access to the best availability
✨Strong early-booking savings
✨More choice on hotels, room types, and flights
✨The ability to plan ahead with confidence

A huge number of holidays are now being booked much further in advance than ever before, and weekends like this really highlight the advantage of having a personal travel consultant keeping an eye on what’s launched, when, and what genuinely represents good value.

If you’ve been thinking about a holiday for 2025, 2026 or even beyond, now is a very smart time to start the conversation.

And just to give you a little teaser…
These early sales have been so good that they’ve even tempted us to book our own next holiday 🤩

✨ Have you been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights this winter? ✨

Right now, we have clients staying in Saariselkä, over 200km above the Arctic Circle, and they’ve been treated to some truly magical nights under the sky.

They’ve been kind enough to share a few of their photographs with us, and honestly… they’re breathtaking. Seeing the Northern Lights dance overhead is one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that never quite leaves you.

This part of Lapland is something really special - snow-covered forests, crisp Arctic air, and nights where nature puts on a show you could never plan, only hope for.

If seeing the Northern Lights has ever been on your wish list, winter in the Arctic is one of those experiences that’s absolutely worth travelling for.

✨Less ordinary. More unforgettable moments✨

✨Sometimes our office isn’t an office at all…

Today we met one of our lovely clients somewhere a little different, the beautiful Okells Garden Centre in Tarporley 🎄

A festive coffee, a browse around the gift shop, and even some last-minute Christmas shopping thrown in while chatting through travel plans.

Proof that planning a holiday doesn’t have to mean sitting in an office or staring at a screen.
This is one of the things our clients love most, we bring the office to you.

Whether that’s your local café, garden centre, kitchen table, or a quick catch-up over coffee, we’ll always work around what suits you.

Travel planning should feel relaxed, personal, and enjoyable… just like the holiday itself ✨
