By the time the clocks go back and the first frost settles across Britain, many of the finest pool villas at Baros will already have been reserved. If the Maldives is calling, now is the ideal time to enquire and take advantage of our early booking offers for Winter 2026/27.

At Baros, turtles pass beneath your villa, angelfish weave through coral gardens and the reef begins a few barefoot steps from your bedroom. Nearly fifty years since welcoming its first guests, this small island remains one of the Maldives' most enduring pleasures - and one of the first to fill when winter draws near.

Lose the crowds in Sri Lanka.

We're always searching for the lesser-known experiences; the quiet corners, the forgotten roads, the places that somehow escaped becoming everyone else's discovery.

For our Head of Product, one of the highlights of Sri Lanka is Gal Oya Lodge, on the edge of Gal Oya National Park.

Whilst much of Sri Lanka's wildlife tourism gravitates towards the island's better-known national parks, Gal Oya remains gloriously overlooked. Here, ancient jungle spills towards vast reservoirs, fishing eagles patrol the skies and the only traffic jam you're likely to encounter is a family of elephants lingering at the water's edge.

One morning, you may find yourself drifting silently across Senanayake Samudraya, Sri Lanka's largest lake. There are no convoys of safari vehicles. No crowds jostling for position. Just a naturalist, a boat and the chance of witnessing wild elephants swimming between islands - one of the few places on earth where such a spectacle can still be observed.

The indigenous Vedda people, Sri Lanka's last remaining forest-dwelling community, still call this region home. Walk with them through the jungle and you'll quickly realise that what appears to be wilderness to most of us is, in fact, a landscape rich with stories, knowledge and generations of lived experience.

This is not Sri Lanka's most famous safari destination.

That is precisely the point.

Some places reveal themselves slowly. Gal Oya is one of them - a corner of Sri Lanka where nature still sets the pace and where the rewards belong to those willing to venture a little further from the well-trodden path.

And long may it stay that way.
