The Turquoise Holiday Company was founded with the belief that we could offer unique and authentic holiday experiences in extraordinary locations around the world. The Company's philosophy is simple and revolves around one word - passion - passion for the destinations we sell and passion for providing innovative service combined with a real insight into our hotels, rooms, and all aspects of our product. We are a luxury tour operator but not just for luxury's sake. We are not about gold taps and bell boys - we are about authentic unique experiences. We do not class our clients as tourists and our goal is to gently place them in landscape where they will feel like locals, even if only for a week or two. Our luxury is space, privacy and style. I hope you enjoy this website and we hope to have you as client soon.
