I learnt over the years that I could benefit from this feeling from short breaks as much as my usual annual holiday. In fact the feeling is so much more intense. The experience of leaving work on a Friday and waking up to the sights and sounds of a totally different scene for three days and then back to work on Tuesday is almost heady. The work e mails have not had a chance to pile up but the soul has been refreshed and replenished.

Weekend à la Carte offers you a highly personal and responsible approach to travel as we strive to exceed your expectations, allow local businesses and individuals to benefit from tourism to their countries while being proactive in looking to manage the effects of our footprint on this fragile planet.
