Have you been yearning for sun-kissed shores, to hear palm trees rustling in a light tropical breeze, walk barefoot along powder white sand beaches and bask in warm turquoise waters? Imagine a private paradise island lying tranquil in the Indian Ocean, having all this at your fingertips and being surrounded by close family and friends, enjoying a truly remarkable sense of togetherness again

As we consider the time spent in lockdown, recalling the careful trips to the supermarket, the once a day opportunity to exercise, missing family and friends, our inability to connect by catching up, seeing each other, sharing meals, laughing and creating memories. Not having these social connections, a hug, an embrace, has been one of the most difficult things for us humans during lockdown.

Now is the time to plan to reunite, revive and rejoice. A time to stay together, laugh together, play together.
