About Us

Design Holidays – one of the most Family Friendly Travel Companies in the UK.

Did you know that in a recent survey of Design Holidays Bookings, we beat prices direct with all hotels / resorts at the time of client booking on each occasion bar one, what did we do ? We contacted the hotel in question and further negotiated a better rate still for our client, plus a room upgrade. Due to our vast buying power we can always offer better prices than you would by booking the villa, hotel or resort yourself!

Design with the environment in mind

Over the years the staff and board of directors of Design Holidays have become ever increasingly worried about the eco friendliness of companies like ours in today’s modern world.

Where possible we are making every effort to re use items in all of our offices all paper supplies, in order to reduce our eco wastage along with all print cartridges. All ‘out dated technology’ including computers / mobile phones are recycled to third world countries.

Together we can help lessen the effect on our environment.
