I began my work in luxury travel in 1996 by pure accident, after starting my career in hotels. Since then my passion for travel has grown each year, I love to talk to clients to make sure that together we can tailor the perfect holiday. The fact that I have been able to travel to some amazing destinations, from colourful Marrakech, to opulent Maldives, to the awe inspiring plains of Tanzania makes my job even better!

After over 22 years within the luxury travel industry, it remains just as exhilarating as it first did to experience our amazing properties and destinations!

My Favourite Destination

Oman

I loved spending time in the breathtaking Al Hajar mountains, as this is where you can really relax at two-thousand-metres above sea level! Exploring the local culture, seeing the traditional Omani ways and stopping to meet Village Elders is a truly memorable experience.

Memorable Hotel Experience

The Chedi Muscat

The Chedi Muscat is one of my favourite hotels in the world. Its lofty 100-metre-long lap pool, the remarkable beach, acres of landscaped gardens, award-winning restaurants, the beautiful spa (the largest in Muscat) and authentic Omani ambience are simply incredible.

Travel Tips

"Certain countries in the world will not let you enter if your passport is due to expire within six months. Always check before you travel how long is left on your passport in case you are affected."

What my clients say about me

"Nicola has helped us choose the most amazing family holiday which worked perfectly for our young family. In addition, Nicola had suggested to prebook the children`s activities which was a great suggestion as other families arrived and were not able to book on. "

"Nicola was very patient, we had to change our dates on several occasions and nothing was too much trouble. "

"The service, knowledge and willingness to go that extra mile for a client so that the holiday is an exceptional experience is the reason I have scored you a ten. "

"Nicola and her team took care of everything. They efficiently dealt with problems caused by the British Airways strike, allowing us to have a stress free holiday. "

What my Personal Assistant Victoria says...

" It only seems like yesterday when I started work at Elegant Resorts at the young age of 20 and nearly 10 years on I'm still loving every minute. After all, it's is not every day that you get to swap your office desk to travel to Dubai or Mauritius to sample the world's top hotel's, the finest food and wine and the most relaxing spa treatments in exotic locations. It's very hard to pick a favourite hotel but Conrad Maldives Rangali Island where I spent part of my honeymoon holds a special place in my heart. The staff were wonderful and my husband and I felt like we had landed in paradise, needless to say we had the perfect honeymoon. Fast forward a few years and with 3 young children I now see holiday's from a different perspective and I particularly enjoy assisting family trips, although being a big romantic I also enjoy booking surprise trips, honeymoon's and celebratory breaks.
