Caribtours
Caribtours has been creating tailor-made luxury holidays since 1979, when founder Norman Brunskill and his wife and co-director Valerie established the company in Chiswick, London. Norman’s passion for the Caribbean had developed through his earlier career in travel and his work with the Jamaica Tourist Board, where he built close relationships with many of the region’s leading hoteliers. Those relationships became the foundation of Caribtours, which initially focused on Jamaica, Barbados and Antigua before steadily expanding its collection. Over more than four decades, the company has evolved from a specialist Caribbean operator into an established independent luxury holiday company, while retaining its emphasis on personal knowledge and specialist expertise.
While their heart lies in the Caribbean, offering stunning getaways across islands like Grenada and St. Vincent, their reach extends far beyond. Today, you can discover luxurious resorts and boutique havens in destinations like Europe, the Indian Ocean, and even South Africa with their meticulously planned itineraries.
Their ethos revolves around providing unparalleled expertise and personalised service. Their team, boasting firsthand experience of every hotel and beach they recommend, goes beyond simply booking holidays. They become your travel confidantes, tailoring dream holidays that perfectly match your desires, whether it’s a romantic rendezvous in the Maldives or a family adventure in Mexico.
Caribtours believes in the transformative power of travel, and their mission is to create unforgettable experiences that leave you yearning for more of “Our Beautiful World,” as they say. So, if you seek a luxury escape crafted with passion and expertise, Caribtours stands ready to whisk you away to your personal slice of paradise.

Have your tennis skills or simply indulge your love of the game at a glorious resort in the Mediterranean sunshine.
The Annabel Croft Tennis Academy was founded in April 2009 by the former British number one, Annabel Croft, and is now approaching its ninth year. The academy has delivered coaching classes to over 3,000 players at various venues, including a regular programme of over 300 players at the National Tennis Centre in Birmingham.
The Academy has since been expanded to two prestigious resorts in the Mediterranean where the Annabel Croft Tennis Academies offer individual coaching sessions and group lessons to tennis enthusiasts whilst on holiday. Expanding to just two very special resorts enables Annabel and her team to ensure that the academies are run to their high standard, providing enjoyable and educational coaching using Annabel’s signature on-court philosophy of ‘movement and repetition’. Currently, you can enjoy the academy at either Pine Cliffs in Portugal.
There are a range of packages to choose from, including One2One Private Coaching, three-day weekend retreats and five-day group coaching programmes for adults. There are also junior courses for younger players that run at the same time as the adult courses, meaning the whole family can benefit from the lesson that caters to their individual abilities and needs. The sunny Mediterranean locations mean that, afterwards, you can retreat to the beach or relax by the pool.
We are able to book these tennis holidays through our partners Caribtours who have teamed up with Annabel Croft and her team to create memorable holidays for tennis enthusiasts whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple or with the family or group of friends.
