VOLUME TWO

WELCOME TO

Ah, luxury... Fine dining and flash cars, stuffy waiters in stuffed shirts, people craning to see who’s who and what they’re wearing. Yawn. Our idea of luxury doesn’t care how you dress for dinner. It goes barefoot, because life’s a beach. Above all, it wants what you want. If your idea of a good time is wideopen spaces and holiday snaps that look like National Geographic, that’s fine with us. If you’d rather have your own infinity pool and the world’s best back rub, we can do that too. We created Wonderlist for people who appreciate the finer things, but measure their wealth in memories. Through handpicked collections, we’ve brought together a range of experiences that’s all but unbeatable for the fun you’ll have and the stories you’ll tell. Just push the boat out and ride the wave… It’s a wonderful world. Let’s get out there.

INTRODUCTION

At Virgin Holidays we understand that there’s no point in crafting blissfully awesome holidays if we leave you hanging on the day of departure, juggling luggage and terminal tailbacks until you arrive at the airport with steam coming out of your ears.

UK TRANSFERS

As part of all our Wonderlist experiences, your personal Wonderlister will happily quote for and organise an immaculate motor to whisk you in chauffeur-driven serenity to the airport.

RESORT TRANSFERS

No matter which Wonderlist experience you choose, you’ll be greeted on arrival and spirited away to your hotel or resort by private car – or plane/boat/jetpack as your destination requires.

UK AIRPORT LOUNGES

We believe in starting once-in-a-lifetime holidays on the right foot (preferably propped up next to the left foot in a private airport lounge).

V - R O O M AT L O N D O N G AT W I C K & M A N C H E S T E R

The v-rooms are stylish private lounges that belong to us, and they’re just for you. Food, drinks, WiFi, papers, stuff for the kids – you want it, you got it. Everything except alcohol is free. You can forget long queues, too – we’ll whisk you through Gatwick’s check-in and security like you own the place.

INTRODUCTION

Like every other element of your adventure with us, your flight will be something to savour: yet another stage in the seamless continuum of comfort that is Wonderlist. And wherever your experience takes you, we’ve ensured you’ll fly with the very best carrier on that route – starting, whenever possible, with Virgin Atlantic. Justly famous for creating memorable journeys, they make it their mission to provide excellent experiences and friendly (not to mention award-winning) service in every cabin class. 

PREMIUM ECONOMY

Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy makes flying more enjoyable than you thought possible. Start your journey in style with dedicated check-in, priority boarding, and a pre-flight glass of bubbly. On board there’s space to relax, as your wide leather seat has a comfortable headrest, footrest, and a pitch of 38" (over 96 cm). Choose from three delicious meals, all served on china with stainless steel cutlery and linen. When you land, you’re one of the first off the aircraft, and so are your bags.

UPPER CLASS

Spoil yourself by letting us spoil you. Unwind before you board in the incredible Clubhouse. Stretch your legs at the onboard bar. Then enjoy an imaginatively designed V I R G I N AT L A N T I C

range of hot and cold dishes, desserts and fine wines – including cheese and port to finish your meal perfectly. Your seat comes with laptop power and onboard WiFi to help you stay connected. And when you’re ready, your suite easily transforms into a spacious fully flat bed. Change into your Upper Class sleep suit, settle under the soft duvet and enjoy refreshing, undisturbed sleep.   THE CLUBHOUSE¹

Begin your Upper Class experience before you even step on the plane, in the beautifully designed Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Heathrow and Gatwick airports. With an impressive food and drink menu, fantastic facilities and a welcoming atmosphere, the Clubhouse feels like a private members’ club – with service to match. You’ll leave feeling completely refreshed and ready for your journey.

INTRODUCTION

When we set out to create Wonderlist, we decided that nothing was more important than giving you the most amazing, life-changing journeys. So where Virgin Atlantic doesn’t connect with an unmissable resort or unforgettable experience, we haven’t compromised. Instead, we’ve sought out and secured premium passage with the very best airline partners on those routes.

INTRODUCTION

EVA Air has a special place in our hearts for being the only airline that has several of its planes kitted out in Hello Kitty livery. Pretty cute – but that’s not why you’ll be happy to fly non-stop from London Heathrow (T2) to Bangkok with Taiwan’s second-largest airline. Even if you don’t plump for the as-special-as-it-sounds Royal Laurel Class, EVA Air has pulled out all the stops to ensure a comfortable flight, with thoughtful touches in Economy like memory-foam cushions and fully adjustable headrests to prevent the classic snoozing head roll that can so easily spoil your kip.

Air Canada is Canada’s largest scheduled airline, operating non-stop flights from Heathrow. Choose Premium Economy class and enjoy priority check-in and boarding, plus additional baggage allowance. Once on board, you’ll be able to stretch out in a dedicated cabin whose super-comfortable seats have extra legroom and more recline. Alternatively, select International Business Class and luxuriate in a seat that reclines into a fully flat bed at the touch of a button.

Qatar Airways is an award-winning airline, operating flights to over 100 destinations via Doha across the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. Passengers will experience the airline’s signature five-star service and the warmth and grace of Middle Eastern hospitality, while enjoying spacious seats and generous legroom in Economy, Business and First Class.

With a fortnight at your disposal you have plenty of time to explore Walt Disney World Resort’s six incredible theme parks and find your favourite rides, attractions and shows, while your 14-day tickets mean you have unrestricted access to everything. Want to start the day at Epcot, get wet at Typhoon Lagoon Water Park after lunch and end the day watching fireworks at Cinderella’s Castle? Go for it. And you really can go for it. We’ve picked three of our favourite resorts – bedrooms overlooking a safari park, anyone? You’ll be Deluxe Disney Guests, so you’ll also get unlimited free transfers between parks by monorail, bus, boat and Buzz Lightyear jetpack (okay, not the last one). You’ll have MagicBands, too, so you can charge food and gifts to your room, plus – our personal favourite – special early access to parks so you can get the biggest rides in before the crowds arrive. There really is nothing to stand between you and the most magical family holiday ever.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge has a horseshoe-curved design that provides spectacular views of four lush savannahs, spread over 43 acres and home to some 200 zebra, gazelle, and other animals and birds. Choose to stay in either: Savanna Room with Bunk Bed Well, the carved, hardwood bunk-bed in this spacious family room is really meant for the kids, but there’s nothing to say Mum and Dad can’t call first dibs.

Just one monorail stop away from the Magic Kingdom Park (making it a perfect place from which to watch fireworks fizz and bloom over Cinderella’s Castle), this lavish resort recreates Palm Beach’s golden era with its spectacular lobby soundtracked by a live ragtime band, fine dining, and sophisticated Victorian-inspired rooms and suites.

Teens will love the beach soccer, pool volleyball and FlowRider – an amazing two-lane surfing simulator where you carve turns or bodyboard on endless waves. And for the grown-ups? Whether you indulge in a Chaya Sun Soothing Wrap, linger over lunch at Palpata Fragata, or gather the tribe for a spectacular scuba dive before drying off on the warm sands, you’ll feel free to relax knowing that everyone is having an unforgettable time. With your accommodation at Moon Palace, everyone gets exactly what they want. The Family Connections Suite is comprised of two connecting rooms, one with a king-size bed, whirlpool tub, a balcony with a chaise longue, and (best of all) plenty of privacy.

At Carlisle Bay, adults will love the world-class Blue Spa, sunset drinks on the romantic jetty and deliberating over the choice of restaurants for dinner. The complimentary kids’ club (6 months-6 years) has its own pool and jungle gym and loads of creative Caribbean activities such as crab racing and turtle watching. Older kids will happily while away the hours with lizard hunting and treasure hunts, watch movies in the resort’s air-conditioned screening room, and hit the Blue Spa for its special teen menu. But you don’t go on holiday to spend all your time apart, and with complimentary sailing, snorkelling and other watersports, the whole family can share incredible experiences together. The very special Beach Suites are modern, light and wonderfully airy, with an open-plan living and sleeping area. There’s an additional separate bedroom, large bathroom and a spacious balcony or terrace that leads straight onto the sand – the perfect spot to kick back and keep an eye on the kids as they play in the clear blue Caribbean Sea. Opt for one of the two Carlisle Suites, and you’ll enjoy the largest accommodations at Carlisle Bay. Three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms sleep six in pampered comfort, and both suites feature a large sitting room and kitchen, and a spacious balcony or terrace. Whichever you choose, you’ll enjoy mesmerising views, just steps from the water’s edge.

Standing in a plum spot right on the lower east corner of majestic Central Park, The Plaza is a National Historical Landmark and luxurious New York icon that’s perfectly placed for getting your Big Apple on. You and your kids may know it best as the setting for Disney’s Eloise at the Plaza (‘rawther’ special Eloise-themed birthday parties are very popular) or for its starring role in Home Alone 2. Not that you’ll need to rig any elaborate traps during your stay in your deluxe room, complete with butler service, 24-carat gold finished bathroom, and two queen beds. Kids don’t want to share? We get it. There’s a rollout bed too, so everyone gets their own space.

The Benjamin has got the unfussy luxury/understated cool thing locked down. It’s located in Midtown within ambling distance of cultural opportunities such as MoMA, Grand Central Terminal and the New York Public Library, and extraordinary shopping on Fifth Avenue is steps away (American Girl Place is just four blocks). Your studio or one bedroom suite with kitchenette has ample room for a family of four to recharge. All the better to make the most of your time in the city that never sleeps. The Benjamin

To experience Orlando properly is to embrace pinch-yourself wonder whatever your age or shoe size. Loews Portofino Bay Hotel offers luxury accommodation within Universal Orlando Resort, in a setting modelled with Vespa-revving fidelity on the seaside town of Portofino in Italy – right down to the cobblestoned waterfront and proud Italian cypress trees. But before we crack open the prosecco and toast your great taste, there’s an extra shot of magic awaiting the younger members of your party at the Portofino Bay. Awash with Minion décor, twin rocket beds and a TV of their own, the Despicable Me Kids’ Suites are every bit as awesome as they sound. And mum and dad?

Take your family on an unforgettable Atlantis adventure (no gills required)

I

f you’re looking for an epic family holiday to win over even the most jaded teenage heart, look no further. We’re talking about a relentlessly indulgent aquatic-themed resort inspired by the Lost City of Atlantis. One that’s located

off the coast of Dubai on an artificial archipelago shaped like a palm tree. A resort dominated by the Ambassador Lagoon, home to over 65,000 exotic sea creatures. You can snorkel with them or goggle at them from the atmospheric surroundings of the Lost Chambers Aquarium. You can even stay in an Underwater Suite and count fish as you drift off to sleep, dappled by the aquarium’s soft blue glow. Oh, and then there’s Aquaventure, Atlantis’s very own water park, awash with more splashy thrills than you can shake your Speedos at. As guests of Atlantis you and your family get unlimited, complimentary access to the Lost Chambers and Aquaventure, with its 2.3 kilometres of river rapid rides, squealinducing slides and 700-metre private beach. While we’re on the subject of not paying extra for amazing things, kids of all ages get complimentary daily access to their very own entertainment. There’s the Atlantis Kids’ Club for ages 3-12, while for discerning teens there’s Club Rush, a hangout that’s blissfully free of parents and features a dance floor, video games and a mocktail bar. This frees up Mum and Dad to indulge in a unique range of treatments at the ShuiQi Spa, stroll The Avenues with their luxury shops, or have a romantic meal at one of the resort’s 23 restaurants, bars and lounges, including the world famous Nobu, Ronda Locatelli, and Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen.

e’ve yet to meet anyone, young or old, who can resist the buzz and glamour of LA, so there’s no surprise that it tops the list for a luxurious family ‘vacay’ (pardon our American). Our Wonderlisters have curated a two-centre

adventure that starts with a glitzy stay in West Hollywood, followed by a laid-back Orange County beach break that offers golden sands and a relaxed So-Cal vibe. The VIP treatment starts early as you’re picked up from LAX and whisked away in air-conditioned comfort to the Sunset Strip and the magnificently chic Andaz West Hollywood – a boutique hotel that will bring out your inner A-lister with its exclusive rooftop pool (the highest in LA) and proximity to a world of celeb hangouts, shopping and legendary locations like Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the Chateau Marmont and the Walk of Fame. You’ll have five nights to create your own LA story, and to get you started we’ll include a VIP private limo tour to show you the highlights in relaxed style. What comes next is up to you. Want tickets to see the Lakers or the Dodgers? It’s done. Fancy a tour of the Warner Bros. Studio? We’ll make it happen. From West Hollywood you and your family will be driven south to the OC and Huntington Beach for five nights of So-Cal R&R. Hit the sands for a family surfing lesson before swapping stories of big waves and wipeouts as you toast marshmallows around a fire pit. Grab Pete’s Famous Fish Tacos at your hotel, the beautiful Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach, before renting a cruiser bike to people-watch along the boardwalk or taking a complimentary car to South Coast Plaza to shop yourselves silly. Next up, maybe the thrill rides at Disneyland or Knott’s Berry Farm? It’s your choice, but one thing’s for certain: this will be a family holiday so epic your kids will tell their kids about it.

Then you’ll relocate to the far north for four nights in Chiang Rai, where you’ll stay at an elephant camp and resort.

Once Bangkok has seduced you with its energy – a breathless blend of entertainment, architecture and shopping – Chiang Rai and the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort await. Each day you’ll have the opportunity to choose from a selection of activities: you can learn the basics of elephant training with the expert mahouts, or trek through the jungle with elephants and watch them play. You can even spend time with vets as they check up on the herds. You could also hit the trails in a resort vehicle, getting stamps in your passport from Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. Or maybe take your all-inclusive experience to the next level (and learn some skills to take home) with a Thai cooking experience. Top it all off with a complimentary spa treatment.

Discover life-changing serenity and luxury in the tropical paradise of Bali

P

ardon us if we get a little zen sometimes, but it’s no secret that modern life is the enemy of ‘the moment’: that feeling of being rooted absolutely in time and space with no distractions, schedules or To Do lists. This Wonderlist

experience at the stunning Maya Ubud resort on the island of Bali has been expressly created to help you find that place, replenishing body and mind with authentic architecture and cuisine, spa treatments and activities that take inspiration from the island’s breathtaking natural environment. Bordered by the Petanu River valley to the east and the Peliatan rice fields to the west, Maya Ubud’s cluster of thatched, private pool villas appear, at first glance, to grow out of the lush valley wall. This seemingly organic architecture typifies a resort dedicated to a connection with the environment. Follow the path down to the river’s edge and you’ll discover the Spa at Maya, where you can experience reflexology on a deck suspended over the energising flow of the Petanu, or explore winding walkways through dense foliage to discover enclaves with bubbling tubs, perfumed oils and skilled therapists ready to rejuvenate tired limbs and restore peaceful thoughts (your discount on spa treatments will help this no end). Likewise, dining is an extraordinary pleasure for all the senses at Maya Ubud.

his spectacularly lush island nation punches above its weight in all sorts of ways: stunning scenery and culture, ancient wonders and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, unspoilt rainforest, miles of coral-fringed beaches, a rich

cultural mix of Hindu, Muslim and Christian influences, and exceptionally warm and welcoming people. You’ll experience the very best of Sri Lanka on this tour, guided in an air-conditioned vehicle by your private driver with flexible stops (perhaps for some retail therapy at a silk factory or lunch at a spice garden) as you travel west through tea country and the cultural triangle. Along the way, you’ll stay in four unique boutique hotels, each providing unforgettable accommodation in awesome surroundings. Start with two nights in a private nature reserve set in acres of rice paddies. From here you’ll explore wonders such as the Golden Temple of Dambulla, with its surprising network of cooling caves, and the imposing mass of the Lion Rock Fortress at Sigiriya. Your next stop is Kandy, known as the cultural capital and famed for the Temple of the Tooth, followed by two nights of colonial splendour at a working tea plantation. Here, you can explore the hillside trails, take a tour of the plantation in the company of the resident tea planter, or just sit by the pool and enjoy a decadent cream tea as the mist rolls over the surrounding hills. Your trip concludes in fine style with a three-day stay at a beach resort on Sri Lanka’s beautiful west coast.

Dial exotic all the way up, with a magical stay in a palatial riad in the heart of Marrakech

H

iding in plain sight amid the hustle and hubbub of Marrakech’s Medina, with its labyrinth of narrow streets, the traditional North African residence known as the riad is a puzzle box that only reveals its wonders once you pass

beyond its plain walls and unremarkable doors. Suddenly, you enter an oasis of cool calm – richly decorated rooms and shaded courtyards with sparkling fountains, their soundtrack playing off the polished tadelakt plaster walls. Making the transition from the anonymous exterior of a riad to the secluded luxury of its interior is about as magical an experience as you’ll find anywhere. Whether you choose to stay at the sumptuous La Sultana Marrakech or in one of the six distinctive riads that make up the Angsana Riads hotel, these hidden havens are a sublime way to experience Marrakech. Hit the souks and bargain hard for richly woven rugs and intricately carved pearl-inlaid furniture. Return to the riad to take fragrant afternoon tea and have a revitalising traditional hammam treatment. Then, repair to the rooftop to dine as the setting sun casts rosy light on the snow-capped peaks of the distant Atlas Mountains. Whichever riad you choose, you’ll enjoy a special culinary tour led by former MasterChef winner Keri Moss, starting at Marrakech’s iconic main square and marketplace, Djemaa el-Fna, and ending in delicious fashion at her restaurant.

The modest fishing village that gives La Sultana Oulidia its name perches on the edge of a lagoon that winds its way to the Atlantic. The hotel is an imposing palace that’s set against the area’s sweeping dunes and vast skies. Incredibly it contains just 11 elegant suites (so spacious that they’re practically apartments). Ceilings are made from oleander stems, walls from traditional stone and tadelakt lime plaster. Yet this is anything but rustic. Each suite has a private terrace with seawater Jacuzzi, lavish marble bathroom and all the luxuries you’ll need for total relaxation. One more reason to chill out here: split a seven-night stay between La Sultana Oulidia and La Sultana Marrakech and you’ll receive one night of your holiday for free.

Soak up some of the best views in Asia from an unspoilt island in Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay

T

his is not the gap-year Thailand you may have seen before: no trinkets, neonsoaked bars and nomadic backpackers. Your destination is the island of Koh Yao Noi and the frankly enchanting Six Senses Yao Noi resort. We say ‘resort’,

but once your boat docks and you first see the modest cluster of wooden villas with their palm-leaf-thatched roofs, it’s easy to feel that this secluded paradise simply grew organically from the lush wooded slopes. But while Six Senses Yao Noi blends seamlessly with its surroundings, its simplicity quickly reveals breathtaking contemporary style and a level of personal indulgence that will become your benchmark for years to come. First, you’ll need to take your eyes off the magnificent views over Phang Nga Bay, with its astonishing vertical limestone karsts rising from the waters of the Andaman Sea. Then, once you’re settled in your spacious villa, there’s very little else to do other than float, recline, purr like a happy tabby and dine on dishes such as wagyu beef cheek curry at the resort’s four world-class restaurants. But there’s so much you can do, if the mood takes you. Take a gentle bike ride around the island, stopping in at the village store. Have an evening massage in a Thai longhouse while you watch a blanket of stars flicker above. Take a cooking class, train with a Thai kickboxer, or learn rock climbing against the epic backdrop. Snorkelling and diving are spectacular here, and the calm mangrove channels have made this one of the world’s most beautiful kayaking spots. Exploring the bay by boat is a must, and your Wonderlist experience includes your first opportunity to get closer to the view: a trip on Six Senses’ take on a traditional longboat to find deserted sandy beaches as you island hop.

Palm Island is 135 acres of private paradise that’s blessed with five beaches, beautifully finished bolthole accommodation for the lucky few, and warm and attentive staff who take your relaxation and pleasure as seriously as you do. So, let’s get on with getting away. Palm Island is only accessible by boat, and you’ll be met like old friends at the jetty and escorted to your accommodation. From there, it’s up to you to dictate how much or how little you do. Borrow one of the complimentary bikes or follow a nature trail on foot and tour the island. Stop at a beach, see iguanas and crayon-colourful birds, and work up an appetite. All meals are included during your stay, including daily afternoon tea, beach barbecues and a variety of drinks. There’s just so much to experience – from the spa, where you’ll enjoy a complimentary 30-minute spa treatment per stay, through to cocktail parties, botanical nature walks, croquet and more. That said, once you adjust to the leisurely pace of Palm Island you may find you need nothing more than a cold drink, a patch of white sand, and the warm waters of the Caribbean.

Cowboy country so epic and humbling in scale and beauty that just to see it is to be changed forever. Here in the unspoilt wilds of Wyoming you can experience Brush Creek Ranch – an ultra-luxe dude ranch and spa where high-falutin’ indulgence goes hand in hand with straight-shooting warmth and charm. With its location between the Sierra Madre Mountains and Medicine Bow National Forest, in a staggering 30,000 acres of the Platte River Valley, there’s a rich vein of outdoor activities to draw you and your loved ones away from digital distractions. Start the day with a spectacular sunrise yoga session on the Falcon Peak Overlook; awaken your inner pioneer at the Archery 3D Range; try geocaching, mountain biking or hiking on a 75-mile trail system; or saddle up for arena riding, trail riding or a wagon hayride. That’s just a taste of the outdoor life on offer. Youngsters will hoot and holler over the Little Wranglers Kids’ Club, where they’ll learn about their environment as well as how to rope steer and ride a horse. Or why not get the family together for challenge pursuits such as paintballing and navigating the high-low rope course? Because fresh air and honest exertion make a rancher powerful hungry, Brush Creek is all-inclusive, giving you three gourmet square meals a day, and drinks to boot. Get in your best bib and tucker and head to the Trailhead Great Room, or gather around the campfire for a mouth-watering meal beneath the stars.

And, in between, you’ll sleep under a thatched roof in a one-of-a-kind al fresco bedroom.

DUBAI

Discover a special kind of tranquillity amid the dunes beyond Dubai

W

hen was the last time a holiday truly, profoundly took you away? No smartphones, tablets or pings from your inbox. Just beautiful surroundings, a pace dictated by the rhythms of nature, and precious little else. Al Maha is

a unique desert sanctuary that’s just an hour’s drive from Dubai, but that feels utterly removed from bustle and stress. A world-class resort and spa set at the heart of the United Arab Emirates’ first national park – where you can look out from your private infinity pool at the roaming herds of Arabian oryx that gave Al Maha its name. A place where you can explore the dunes on horseback, by camel or 4x4 before dining out among the dunes, sitting on sumptuous Persian carpets while torch flames flicker on the shifting sands. From wheels-down in Dubai, you’ll experience life like bubble-wrapped royalty. You’ll be met off the plane by a friendly face and fast-tracked through immigration before being driven to Al Maha (this is the perfect time to shut your phone off). Your stay at Al Maha includes all of your meals, so why not amble over to the Al Diwaan restaurant and graze on mezze or succulent roasted quail biryani? Then head up to the terrace bar and take in the rose-coloured expanse of the desert as the sun sinks below the horizon. You get two complimentary activities each day of your stay – should you actually want to do anything, that is. Learn archery, try your hand at falconry, go for a dune drive or just hand yourself over to the Timeless Spa for a blissful Rasoul Ritual.

BEDOUIN SUITE

Each Bedouin Suite at Al Maha is decorated with carved wood and richly woven fabrics that just beg to be touched, and is dominated by floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of the Dubai Conservation Reserve that lies just beyond your private sun deck and plunge pool. In the bathroom, you’ll find a walk-in shower and a king-size bath. But it’s the little things that really make your suite unforgettable – thoughtful touches like binoculars for spotting Ethiopian hedgehogs and Rüppell’s foxes, a writing desk, and an easel and art supplies in case the majestic landscape and its wildlife inspire you to create.

To stay at One&Only The Palm is to enter a stylish enclave of total relaxation and indulgence, set in beautiful fountain-dotted gardens and fringed by 450 metres of private beach.

This 1904 landmark hotel was renovated and reimagined in 2013 to create an exclusive sanctuary for its discerning and savvy clientele. The truest mark of luxury at the opulent St Regis is that, as a guest, you’re treated as a friend, with warm but unobtrusive service that’s both profoundly satisfying and utterly disarming. When you’re heading out on the town for your big celebration, ask to use the hotel’s very own Bentley.

Go all out in the most extravagant country in the world

E

ven seasoned travellers will find their jaws on the (immaculate marble) floor in Dubai. It’s unlike pretty much anywhere else on earth, and the perfect place to take your nearest and dearest for a weekend of indulgence.

The Wonderlist experience starts you off with the ultimate big night out. A limo will collect your party at sundown and cruise over to downtown for the illuminated dancing fountains (the world’s largest, of course). Enjoy with drinks at Neos bar, 63 floors up at The Address Downtown, or watch the spectacle from ground level at one of the many terrace bars. Next, you’ll be dropped off in style for dinner and a show at Pacha Ibiza Dubai at Madinat Souk. Spread across three floors, with a rooftop lounge bar and the funky Red Room, it really puts the ‘super’ into superclub. And that’s just the start of the adventure... Naturally, your Wonderlister is on hand to help plan your perfect Dubai celebration. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could take a helicopter ride around The Palm. Or, if you prefer the seas to the sky, how about catamaran sailing in the beautiful blue waters? Back on dry land, you’ll find Dubai is one of the best places to dine out in the world – fans of Japanese food will fall in love with Nobu Atlantis. From there, move on to one of the comfortable cabanas at the Nasimi Club.

Perfect for up to three couples, plus a few children, Fitzpatrick’s Lodge has three spacious bedrooms, each with the option to have a king or twin beds. The lounge and dining areas of the lodge are vast and give out onto a private outdoor living room where you’ll naturally gather after a day out, swapping stories over drinks while your dedicated staff prepare another mouthwatering meal.

It’s a fittingly regal name for a majestic lodge that surveys Bushman’s River and the seemingly endless sweep of grassy plains below. If you can tear yourself away from the huge private decks that fringe the lodge, the interior reveals four magnificent bedrooms and one staggeringly gorgeous suite, all of which are decorated with contemporary flair that dials down the fusty colonial vibe in favour of clean unfussy lines and vibrant accent colours. With huge living and dining rooms, there’s plenty of space for everyone, while the lush, secluded inner courtyard is perfect for children to play in. The guest of honour will receive a complimentary head, neck and shoulder massage, and because Sarili Lodge has its own dedicated staff, nothing is ever too much trouble for anyone in your group.

‘We’, ‘Our’, ‘Us’, ‘Virgin Holidays’ means Virgin Holidays Limited. ‘Holiday’ means the Holiday booked by you or any person on your behalf. ‘Force Majeure’ means any circumstances which are unusual and/or unforeseeable which are beyond the control of Virgin Holidays, the consequence of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war; riot; civil strife; hostilities; political unrest; government action; industrial dispute; natural or other disaster; nuclear incident; terrorist activity; weather conditions; closure of airports; fire; flood; drought; re-scheduling or cancellation of flights or alteration of the airline or aircraft type by an airline and technical problems with transportation and all similar events outside our control.

Only we, the ‘lead name’ on the booking and any other persons in your party and whose names appear on the booking shall have any rights to enforce these Booking Conditions. The ‘lead name’ who makes and pays for the booking must be at least 18 years old. A D VA N C E D R E G I S T R AT I O N

These conditions and the ‘Useful Information’ in this brochure apply to all Holidays and govern your relationship with Virgin Holidays. Please read them carefully before making a booking.

Some accommodation providers and airlines only load their rooms/seats to sell approximately 10 months before the departure. If this applies, we will tell you at time of booking and will issue an invoice setting out the details of your booking and we will take a deposit. A contract will then exist between us on the basis that, the actual price payable will be the applicable price once the accommodation/ airline provider releases the rooms/seats. The flight timings and other details will be those confirmed by the airline at the time the seats are released and may differ from those advised at the time of booking. We will also advise you of the confirmed price, flight timings and other details when the seats are released for booking by the airline. You will then have 7 days to confirm whether you wish to continue with the booking on the basis of the confirmed price, flight timings and other details or cancel the holiday and receive a full refund. We will issue a revised invoice if you confirm that you wish to continue with the booking. We will refund your deposit if the flight seats/rooms do not become available. We will have no other liability and will not be responsible for refunding any other associated costs incurred.

2. BROCHURE ACCURACY

When a booking is made, the ‘lead name’ on the booking guarantees that he or she has the authority to accept and does accept on behalf of all members of your party the terms of these booking conditions. After we receive your booking and all appropriate payments, if the arrangements you wish to book are available, we will issue a confirmation invoice. A binding agreement will come into existence between us when we dispatch this invoice to the ‘lead name’. This contract is governed by English Law, and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you are a resident in either of those jurisdictions.

Although Virgin Holidays make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the brochure information and pricing, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check the price and all other details of your chosen arrangements with us at the time of booking and when you receive your confirmation invoice.

(a) A change of resort area for the whole or a major part of your holiday, H O T E L / R E S O R T FA C I L I T I E S /A M E N I T I E S A N D D E S C R I P T I O N S

The hotels we feature are generally open year-round, so will have quieter times occasionally. This will enable you to take advantage of, for example, uncrowded beaches and a more personal service from hotel staff. However, this may mean that hotels scale down the availability of some facilities, such as the number of restaurants open or their opening hours, to reflect the number of guests. While the descriptions and information contained within this brochure about the hotels and resorts were accurate at the time of going to print, there can be changes subsequent to the printing of the brochure. Where possible, we will try our best to notify you of any changes that may affect your holiday. The information provided in our brochure relating to resort descriptions, local events or markets, resort attractions, restaurants etc. is offered in good faith and we therefore ask, should this be important to you, that you check the details independently. If you are unsure about the suitability of a destination we ask that you seek supplementary information which can be obtained from tourist offices and the internet, etc.

BUILDING WORK

Sometimes redecoration work or building work can commence at or near a hotel. These circumstances are beyond our control and we do not always receive advance notification. We will notify you as soon as possible, if we consider that building work will have a significant effect on the enjoyment of your holiday. C A M O U F L A G E P R I N T M AT E R I A L

Some islands in the Caribbean prohibit camouflage print material. This can be extended to items of clothing and baggage. To avoid any inconvenience, we would advise all passengers to refrain from packing/carrying such items.

we feature (including children) and Visas (transit, business, tourist or otherwise) may be required for some destinations and depending on the passport you hold. Requirements may change and the length of time it is likely to take to obtain the appropriate passports and visas will vary. It is your responsibility to check the up to date position and you should make any applications for passports and/or visas in good time before your departure. Virgin Holidays accepts no liability if you or any member of your party are refused entry into any country due to failure to hold the correct passport, visa and/or other travel documentation required by any airline, authority or country you are visiting or transiting through (whether or not you are required to leave the aircraft) including but not limited to a valid ESTA as referred to in clause 3.2.

where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. If you book arrangements other than a package holiday (e.g. accommodation only), the financial protection referred to above does not apply.

3 . 1 If you are a British citizen you are advised to contact HM Passport Office for

up to date information on your passport requirements. If you or any member of your party is not a British Citizen or holds a non-British passport, you must check passport and visa requirements with your relevant Embassy, consulate or passport office for information on visa and passport requirements relevant to your Travel Arrangements and your return to the UK, and the consulate or Embassy in the destination(s) in which you are intending to travel, prior to booking. Virgin Holidays has no special knowledge or expertise regarding foreign entry requirements or travel documents. We recommend that you review travel warnings, announcements, prohibitions and advisory notices issued by all relevant governments regularly prior to your departure. Some destinations may require a letter of authority if children are not accompanied by both legal guardians. Please check with the authorities in the relevant destination if this applies.

If you have booked a Package which is flight inclusive and which commences in the Republic of Ireland, we hold a Travel Agents Licence Number TA0743 issued by the Commission for Aviation Regulation as a requirement have arranged an approved secure bond. This means that when you book a Package with us you can be entirely confident that in the unlikely event of our insolvency before or during your booked trip, if you are overseas full arrangements will be made to repatriate you at the end of your trip by CAR and any money you have paid to us is fully secured by ATOL.

It is mandatory for anyone travelling to or transferring through the US under the Visa Waiver Program, to obtain approval to travel no later than 72 hours prior to travel by completing an online process ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) scheme. The cost of an ESTA is currently approximately $14 per person and can be obtained by visiting https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov or the Visit USA website at www.visitusa.org.uk where further information on the scheme and the up to date fee can also be found. Once completed and approved, the ESTA application is valid for two years and allows multiple visits without the need to reapply. Failure to obtain an ESTA could result in the passenger being denied boarding by the airline.

7 . 1 For Packages, changes in fees (including but not limited to transportation costs, fuel costs, dues, taxes, fees such as landing taxes or embarkation/ disembarkation fees at ports/airports and exchange rates) and services mean that the price of your travel arrangements (or any part of them) may change after you have booked your holiday. However, there will be no change to the cost of your holiday within 30 days of departure.

9 . I F Y O U C A N C E L Y O U R H O L I D AY

7 . 2 In relation to the price of Packages, we will absorb, and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to up to 2% of the price of your total travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your total travel arrangements (excluding insurance premiums and amendments charges), you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality, you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of monies paid, except for any amendment charges and cancellation charges already incurred. We will consider at our discretion an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should you decide to cancel due to a price increase of more than 10%, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your invoice.

Note: if the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges from your insurance company. Your insurance premium is non-refundable by us.

You, or any named member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time prior to departure. Written notification by mail or e-mail from the ‘lead name’ on the booking or your Travel Agent, must be received at our offices. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will be required to pay the applicable cancellation charges shown in the grid below.

HOLIDAY CANCELLATION CHARGES

7 . 3 Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of the total cost of your holiday, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel arrangements due to contractual and other protections in place.

In order to confirm your chosen arrangements, you must pay a non-refundable deposit, which may be higher than the standard deposit to secure specific types of airline tickets, tours, cruises etc, and this will be confirmed to you at time of booking. (If booking within 12 weeks of departure full payment will be required by credit card or debit card.) The balance of the cost of your arrangements (including any surcharge where applicable) is due not less than 12 weeks prior to departure. If we do not receive this balance in full and on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you in which case the cancellation charges set out in clause 9 will become payable.

3 . 3 H E A LT H R E Q U I R E M E N T S

You should consult your doctor for current recommendations and information on inoculations or vaccinations before you depart relevant to the destination you will be visiting or transiting through during your trip. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit to travel and meet all health entry requirements, obtain recommended inoculations, vaccinations take all recommended medication and follow all medical advice before departure. For medical advice regarding all destinations you intend to visit or transit through during your trip you should consult your doctor and the Department of Health’s website in advance. We recommend that you take evidence of your up to date inoculations or vaccinations with you when travelling as it may be required for entry into a country or destination. Virgin Holidays shall not be liable if you are refused entry into any country or destination because you cannot show that you have received all required inoculations or vaccinations or because you do not satisfy the health requirements of any destination. Travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. You are strongly recommended to review any travel warnings, prohibitions, announcements or advisories issued or updated by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice Unit prior to booking your international travel arrangements and regularly prior to departure.

We accept payment by, credit card and debit card – direct credit card payments to Virgin Holidays by VISA/Mastercard will incur a charge of 1.5% of the value of the transaction (these charges are correct at time of print and we reserve the right to increase/decrease these charges and you will be advised at the time of booking). Late bookings made within 14 days prior to departure may require ticket pickup at the airport. An administration charge of £25 per booking will apply. B O O K I N G T H R O U G H V I R G I N H O L I D AY S R E TA I L S T O R E S AND CALL CENTRE

If you make a booking with us through our dedicated retail stores and call centre rather than booking online, a non-refundable booking fee will be charged. CREDIT CARD FRAUD CONTINGENCY

If you do not supply the correct credit or debit card billing address and/or cardholder information, your booking will not be confirmed, the issue of your tickets may be delayed and the overall cost may increase. We reserve the right to cancel your holiday if payment is declined for any reason or if you have supplied incorrect credit or debit card information. We also reserve the right to carry out random checks (including but limited to a search of the electoral roll) in order to minimise credit or debit card fraud. As a result of this, before issuing tickets we may require you to provide us with a postal copy of proof of address, a copy of your credit or debit card and a recent statement. If Virgin becomes aware of, or is notified of, any fraud or illegal activity associated with the payment for the booking, the booking will be cancelled you will be liable for all costs and expenses arising from such cancellation, without prejudice to any action that may be taken against us.

4. INSURANCE

We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential and we strongly advise you and all members of your party to obtain it prior to departure for the full period of your trip booked. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance policy you purchase is suitable, covers your requirements (including but not limited to health requirements and car hire requirements) and is adequate for your particular needs and Travel Arrangements. Please read and take it with you on holiday

Period before departure within which notice of cancellation is received by us in writing

If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, we will endeavour to make these changes (subject to these Booking Conditions and any applicable charges being paid by you), but it may not always be possible. All amendments are subject to availability and eligibility to make changes and actual charges applying will be advised to you when you request the change. Any request for changes to be made must be from the ‘lead name’ on the booking. If we agree and are able to make the changes requested, you will be asked to pay an administration charge of £35 per person and any further cost we incur in making this alteration. In cases where the administration charges made by our Suppliers are higher we reserve the right to pass on such charges to you.

Our cancellation charges are a percentage of the total holiday cost, (not including your insurance premium). These charges are based on how many days before your departure we receive your cancellation notice and not when your correspondence was sent to us. Please note that any amendment charges are non-refundable. For insurance premiums, you should refer to your insurance provider’s cancellation policy. Please note: If you have booked a cruise, any cancellation or amendments (including name changes) will incur an additional charge to the amendment or cancellation charges stated above, in line with the relevant cruise line’s charges.

You are permitted (under the Regulations) to transfer individuals’ names, if any named person on a booking is prevented from travelling as a result of illness, the death of a close relative, jury service or other significant reason. Subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of such reason we will at our discretion agree to that named individual’s booking being transferred to another person, which will be subject to the amendment fee of £35 per person and any additional charges made by any Supplier being paid by you. We will advise you of these charges at the time of your request. Any changes of the individuals named in the booking are conditional on the substitute individual accepting these Booking Conditions and otherwise satisfying all the conditions applicable to the Package. Name change requests within 48 hours of the date of departure cannot be guaranteed. As most airlines do not permit name changes after tickets have been issued for any reason, these charges are likely to be the full cost of the flight. If you request to change all names on a booking, this will be considered as a cancellation and new booking and full cancellation charges will apply.

Please note that, in the case of cancellation after receipt of documents, no refund will be given unless unused tickets are returned to us. Please note, if only some members of your party cancel, in addition to incurring the applicable cancellation charges, we will recalculate the holiday cost for the remaining travellers. You may have to pay the extra room charges such as single room supplements. In cases where cancellation charges made by our suppliers are higher than the cost of the deposit, we may pass the charge on to you. Please ask for full details and we will notify you of the specific charges applicable to your booking. After departure no refund will be made on any part-used components of your holiday (e.g. unused flights, unused car hire or as a result of early check-out). You will be charged 100% of the price of all part-used components.

You should be aware that any amendment costs or fees could also increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made. Only one change of departure date, per booking may be permitted, subject to availability. Any change in departure date will be treated as a cancellation and full cancellation charges will apply. In addition, you will be asked to pay an admin fee of £35 per person and a new deposit per person to secure the new departure date. Any further changes may be treated as a cancellation by you and result in cancellation charges being applied.

All amendment or cancellation charges become payable by you immediately upon confirmation of the amendment or cancellation. Note: Certain arrangements may not be cancelled after they have been confirmed and any cancellation could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.

Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. In some cases, any changes made may mean you having to pay for the cancelled arrangements and purchasing new ones at full cost.

We begin planning the arrangements we offer many months in advance and so we reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in holiday details both before and after bookings have been confirmed. We must also reserve the right to cancel confirmed bookings at any time. For example, if the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached we may have to cancel it.

We reserve the right to increase or change the fees referred to above at any time.

Most changes are minor but occasionally, we may have to make a Major Change. If we have to make a Major Change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:

main meal and in the event of a longer delay, wherever possible, you will receive meals and accommodation appropriate for the time of day. We are not always in a position at the time of booking to confirm the carrier(s), aircraft type and flight timings which will be used in connection with your flight. Where we are only able to inform you of the likely carrier(s) at the time of booking, we shall inform you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) or any change in the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of this. The carrier(s), flight timings and types of aircraft shown in this brochure and detailed on your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. The latest timings will be shown on your tickets which will be despatched to you approximately two weeks before departure. You must accordingly check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct flight times. It is possible that flight times may be changed even after tickets have been despatched - we will contact you as soon as possible if this occurs. Any change in the identity of the carrier(s), flight timings, and/or aircraft type will not entitle you to cancel or change to other arrangements without paying our normal charges.

(a) (For Major Changes) accepting the changed arrangements or (b) Purchasing alternative arrangements from us, of a similar standard to those originally booked if available (if the chosen alternative is less expensive than your original one, we will refund the difference but if it is more expensive, we will ask you to pay the difference) or (c) Cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and quick refund of all monies you have paid to us. However, we will not cancel your confirmed booking 12 weeks or less before departure except for reasons of “Force Majeure” (as explained above) or failure by you to make full payment on time. Due to the unpredictability of Force Majeure events we shall not be liable for any changes either before departure or during the holiday, which in our opinion are necessary to protect your safety. In this event, we will offer you suitable alternative arrangements, or, if you do not travel, return the monies you have paid us but we will not pay you compensation.

COMPENSATION

When you book a Holiday with Virgin Holidays you accept responsibility for the proper conduct for yourself and your party whilst on Holiday. If we or any other person in authority or any Supplier of any service is of the reasonable opinion that you or any member of your party is behaving in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger or upset to any other person or damage to property, we will be entitled to terminate the holiday of the person(s) concerned with immediate effect. The person(s) concerned will be required to leave the aircraft, accommodation or other service and shall not be permitted to travel or reside in the travel arrangement booked and we will have no further responsibility to you or them including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination. You will be responsible for making full payment for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party during your time away. Payment must be paid direct at the time the damage or loss was caused to the service supplier concerned failing which, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. If we incur any expenses as a result of your behaviour you shall fully compensate us for that expense on demand.

These scales are based on how many days before your booked holiday departure date, we notify you of a Major Change. Period before departure when a Major Compensation payable per adult Change is notified (for children see below) More than 84 days

Please note that the above payments are per full fare-paying passenger (excluding infants). For children invoiced at reduced rates, compensation will be paid on a prorata basis of the adult rate. We will not pay you compensation and the above options will not be available if we make a minor change or cancel as a result of your failure to make full payment on time. We regret we cannot pay any expenses, costs or losses incurred by you as a result of any change or cancellation. We will not pay you compensation if we cancel because there has been any fraud or illegal activity involved in the payment of your booking on your credit or debit card.

You should be aware that some Suppliers may authorise or charge your payment card at check-in as a deposit for any incidentals such as room service, telephone calls or other hotel services or for damage or incidents occurring during your stay. Some Suppliers may require a cash deposit upon check-in for customers who do not have a payment card. The amount authorised or charged can vary considerably depending on the Supplier and/or the destination. It is your responsibility to ensure sufficient funds or credit are available to cover the amount required by the Supplier. Virgin Holidays is not responsible for setting the amount of any deposit required and if you have any queries you should contact the Supplier prior to departure.

We will not pay you compensation where we make a Major Change or cancel more than 12 weeks before departure or in the event of Force Majeure. Very rarely, we may be forced by Force Majeure to change or terminate your arrangements after departure. If this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any from our suppliers), pay you compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.

(1) In respect of the Accommodation and Flights We promise that your Holiday arrangements will be made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that we will accept responsibility if, for example, you suffer death or personal injury or your contracted arrangements are not provided as promised or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing your arrangements. Further, we will be responsible for what our employees, agents and suppliers do or do not do if they were at the time acting within the course of their employment or carrying out work we had asked them to do.

(8) The services and facilities included in your holiday will be deemed to be provided with reasonable skill and care if they comply with any local regulations which apply, or, if there are no applicable local regulations, if they are reasonable when compared to the local standards in practice.

(2) In respect of other arrangements We promise to use reasonable skill and care in the performance of our contractual obligations, subject to and in accordance with these Booking Conditions. Our contractual obligations consist of using our reasonable skill and care in making your booking and arranging your accommodation/car hire/ flight, as well as using our reasonable skill and care in choosing our suppliers.

(9) Every occurrence of Force Majeure, including but not limited to the interruption of means of communication or a strike by carriers, accommodation providers or air traffic controllers, will lead to the suspension of the obligations in these Booking Conditions that are affected by such Force Majeure event and we shall not be liable as a result of our inability to meet such obligations as a result of such event.

(3) In respect of Packages and other arrangements We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description whatsoever which results from:

In order to process your booking and meet your requirements, we must pass your personal details on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements. We would also like to hold your information (including any email address), where collected by us, for our own and the Virgin Holidays family group future marketing purposes (for example, to inform you of promotional/competition offers or to send you our brochure). If you do not wish to receive such approaches in future, please inform us as soon as possible. For full details of our data protection and privacy policy, and an explanation of how your personal details will be used by us, please refer to our website at virginholidays.co.uk

• The act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your arrangements and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable or • ‘Force Majeure’ as defined above. (4) Except as specifically set out in these conditions, we will not accept any further or different liability than the Package Travel, Package Tours and Package Holidays Regulations impose. It is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us.

(5) We limit the maximum amount we may have to pay you for any claims you may make against us. The maximum amount we will have to pay you where we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions (including money) is £50 per person affected unless a lower limitation applies to your claim under this clause.

If you wish to make a special request, you must do so at the time of booking. We will try to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier but we cannot guarantee that requests will be met. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically confirmed.

For all other claims which do not involve death or personal injury, the maximum amount we will have to pay you if we are found liable to you on any basis is three times the price (excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total unless a lower limitation applies to your claim. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit at all from your holiday.

We are happy to advise and assist you in choosing a suitable holiday. As some of the accommodation and resorts featured may lack even the simplest facilities, such as ramps for wheelchairs, lifts etc, it is important that, when booking, you advise us of any disabilities and special requirements to make sure the holiday meets your specific needs. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm the booking or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel when we become aware of these details. For further assistance, please call the Virgin Holidays’ Special Assistance Department on 0344 557 3998.

(6) Where any claim or part of a claim (including those involving death or personal injury) concerns or is based on any travel arrangements (including the process of getting on and/or off the transport concerned) provided by any air, sea, rail or road carrier or any stay in a hotel, the maximum amount of compensation we will have to pay you will be limited. The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier or hotel keeper concerned would have to pay under the international convention or regulation which applies to the travel arrangements or hotel stay in question (for example, the Montreal Convention for international travel by air and/or for airlines with an operating license granted by an EU country, the EU Regulation on Air Carrier Liability for national and international travel by air, the Athens convention for international travel by sea). Where a carrier or hotel would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the applicable International Convention or Regulation in
