Mhairi

Travelling has always been my passion and I started in the travel industry straight out of school. We took many family holidays in Europe, but when I started travelling independently, I went further afield to the Dominican Republic, Mexico, USA, Maldives, Sri Lanka and worked in South Africa for a short time.

Favourite destination: New Zealand

I was lucky enough to explore the country and was blown away by how beautiful and how different each region is. There’s everything from active volcanoes, glaciers, fjords and mountains to wonderful beaches, hiking and biking trails and last but not least, wonderful fresh local food and wine. I loved exploring the two islands and enjoy curating personalised itineraries with the aim to make people as passionate about New Zealand as I am!

Favourite hotel: Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara

The resort is a two-hour drive from Abu Dhabi in the middle of the uninterrupted desert, with dunes as far as the eye can see. The hotel blends with the desert backdrop and is the ideal place to switch off and experience true Arabian luxury. There’s a wonderful pool, spa and three restaurants including the option to dine in your villa or under the stars in a Bedouin-style setting. Even though the resort is secluded, there’s plenty to keep you busy including camel trekking, dune bashing, desert yoga and sand boarding.

Service Commitment From You

I will listen to everything you want and draw from my own experiences to enhance your holiday even further. I love travel so living through you and hearing your stories upon return are my favourite parts of the job.
