Mandy Wood - Turquoise Holidays

After 20 plus years I stepped away from my career in luxury travel at the start of 2020 as I felt I was ready for a new challenge, it only took me 3 years to realise how much travel runs through my blood – the industry has my heart.

People often ask me “where is the best place you have ever been”? Well, this is impossible to answer as there are just so many “bests” for me – some great memories of certain places would be:

  • Taking a jet ski island tour of Bermuda.
  • Enjoying a Cosmopolitan (cocktail) at the former Oak Room in the Plaza Hotel in NYC.
  • An underwater spa treatment at Huvafen Fushi in the Maldives.
  • Hiking up Mount Royal on Canouan Island (in the Grenadines).
  • Taking my little boy swimming with the turtles in Barbados.

Time is so precious to all of us, it is the only thing that money cannot buy, and my passion is to ensure that I create holidays for people for them to have the most amazing experiences, and to create everlasting beautiful memories.

We have put together a list of ideas for you to take […]
