The ultimate family adventure … in the Maldives!

Maldives, Asia

Maldives Resort

The Maldives has a reputation for incredible indulgence and luxury … for couples! But beyond the sunset suppers, overwater bungalows and private pools, there are many havens for families where beachfront villas are nestled amongst tropical gardens and overlooking calm lagoon waters, and kid’s clubs make the most of the natural wonders around – coconut painting, beach scavenger hunts and even kid’s yoga classes.

Opened in November 2024, Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives is the Maldives’ newest family resort where children get the special treatment. From the expansive water park, meandering lazy river, and exciting kids’ club, to the dedicated candy-themed kids spa with edible treatments, boundless fun and thrilling activities every moment at this underwater-world themed family paradise, is designed for family fun.

Having been in the travel industry for 14 years, it's safe to say travel is my biggest passion. I love turning up somewhere not knowing what to expect and being delighted by both the differences in culture, cuisine and customs. Part way through my career I took a year off and spent this travelling extensively through central America, Asia and Europe. I'm now fortunate enough to be able to pass on the knowledge I've gained over the years and work with my clients to bring their travel dreams to fruition.

I have always been a lover of travel, family holidays as a child sparked my love of seeing the world. I was born in England, moving to New Zealand with my family at the age of six. Drawn to the outdoors and the natural beauty of the world, I enjoy nothing more than exploring new landscapes, immersing myself in local living or being a major tourist. Whether that’s wondering narrow streets, exploring a big city or lounging on a sun-soaked beach.

In addition to my knowledge of travel, I'm currently training to become a Contiki champ with a passion for adventure and a love of meeting new people, I am eager to help you plan your own exciting Contiki, Top Deck, G-adventures or Intrepid tour and create unforgettable memories. 

I was fortunate enough to be sent to Disneyland California and loved every aspect of its adrenaline packed adventure. It is an unforgettable trip and I cant wait to help others book their magical Disney holidays. 

With a passion for adventure and a keen eye for detail, I’m always on the lookout for hidden gems, unique experiences and trending destinations. Whether you're looking for a thrill-seeking adventure or a peaceful escape into nature, I have the drive to help you plan the trip of a lifetime.

I began my career in travel working in Europe as a tour director in 2001.

I never imagined over 20 years later I would be able to pass on my knowledge and passion to other people and call it my job.
