Thailand: Bangkok and Beyond

Think of Thailand and you immediately picture The Beach. And the country doesn’t disappoint-it has some of the world’s loveliest stretches of sand but it also has sensational city breaks and jungle adventures that shouldn’t be missed. Let Virgin Holidays tailor-make the perfect break combining the best of all three in the Land of Plenty.

Tailor Make a Stay on A VHols Caribbean Cruise

Barbados is the ultimate paradise island – perfect beaches, coconut palms and a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. You could happily spend your entire holiday here, right? You could, but you shouldn’t. Virgin Holidays Cruises works with the best cruise lines in the world, so can tailor-make a stay on a ship to suit your every whim. Want a small, exclusive cruise liner? No problem. Rather have all the bells and whistles, and plenty to entertain the little ones? Your wish is their command.

What’s more, if you don’t want to spend every night on board, you don’t have to. Stay & Cruise is one of Virgin Holidays’ specialties: you’ll start your trip at a carefully selected hotel in Barbados, so you can spend a few days really getting to know the island before you set sail to explore the rest of the Caribbean. The options are endless and here, we’ll tell you how to satisfy your laid-back and indulgent mojos.

Your Indulgent Mojo in Mauritius...

...loves Creole curries, seafood salads and sweet potato cakes. For the best street food, head to Port Louis, where even the most nondescript stalls sell spicy stews and chunks of pineapple dipper in chilli and sugar. There’s posh nosh, too-at the elegant Auberge de Saint Aubin, for example, you can feast on vanilla-infused dishes before tasting home-made rum. A serious foodie? Why not time your trip to coincide with 2012 Masterchef winner Shelina Permalloo’s cookery classes at the glamorous Maradiva, a Virgin Holidays + HIP Hotels resort.

Your indulgent Mojo also enjoys a bit of retail therapy. For a shopping experience with a real buzz, head to the roadside central market on Farquhar Street in Port Louis, where you’ll find stalls buried under piles of vanilla pods, Mauritian spices and even herbal teas that promise to banish cellulite! Or go upmarket at the waterfront mall with its discount designer brands.

Let Virgin Holidays look after you every step of the way. Before you leave, its Concierge Service will contact you with recommendations, and can book excursions and activities before you’ve even stepped on the plane.
