October
The proper arrival of autumn can mean many things. At home, it’s the scent of bonfires, the glow of pumpkins, the golden turn of leaves. But there’s still plenty of warmth out there in the world, if you know where to look.
We’ve hand-picked the ideas below to get your mind racing about where to travel in October. As ever, our luxury travel experts are on hand to give you detailed guidance and expert suggestions in choosing your trip.
Where to visit in October
Our Europe Travel Expert, Alys, just returned from her honeymoon in Spain
“We visited some tucked away beaches to enjoy the peace and quiet of the sea but even the more popular beaches were quieter than usual. A highlight for me was watching the sunset in the beautiful former fishing village of Portixol with a glass of champagne in hand – a really special way to end the trip.”
Our hand-picked recommendations for where to stay and what to do
This is our most exclusive Spanish experience. A glorious return to the sunscorched region of Andalucia where we’ll throw open the doors to its most iconic monuments – the Alhambra and La Mezquita – in after-hours access that will see you take in all their wonder in total solitude.
This itinerary focuses on Portugal’s verdant northern valleys, from Lisbon and Porto to the Douro itself. Watch the country welcome the arrival of harvest season. Private boats, cooking classes, wine tastings and Fado music.
Our family itinerary makes a great introduction to Iceland, ticking off the unmissable highlights (like the Golden Circle and southern coast), while serving up some unexpected surprises. Black beaches, glacial fissures, super jeeps and stylish hotels. And more.
This itinerary suits couples well, combining iconic Santorini with lesser known Sifnos and enchanting Paros. Authentic, historic, easy-going. We’ll serve you plenty of space to breathe and time to unwind. Including a private helicopter to a secluded cove. Sound good?
