Luxury Treks and Tours

New year, new you? Treat yourself to a luxury spa break for less!

I'm amazed at some of the glorious luxury spa & beach holidays that are on offer at the moment - and even though I've just had a pre-Christmas holiday to Barbados and rather a lot of time off over the Christmas period,some of the current deals are so good I'm really tempted to book one myself!

Evason & Six Senses Resorts & Spas have some wonderful free nights deals making for exceptionally good value luxury holidays in far flung and exotic locations. A 7 night holiday at the 4 star Evason Resort & Spa Hua Hin, Thailand, can be had for a mere £695 per person flying from London Heathrow on the 22nd April 2009, including private transfers, 3 free nights at this gorgeous resort and staying on a room only basis.

Wonderful deals can also be had at the lush 5 star Evason Ana Mandara & Six Senses Spa in Nha Trang, Vietnam. With an offer of buy 2 nights and get 1 free, then buy 1 get 1 free on subsequent nights, stays here can work out exceptional value and can easily be combined with a city break to see some of Vietnam's most important attractions in Saigon.

If you are tempted by Malaysia, you will easily find some respite from the harshness of British winter in Langkawi at the Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa.
