Lake Tahoe, California
With shimmering cobalt waters set against the dramatic backdrop of the snowcapped peaks of the Sierra Nevadas, Lake Tahoe’s spectacular scenery has been seducing visitors for centuries. North America’s largest Alpine Lake, Lake Tahoe is also the USA’s second-deepest, and - at 6255ft high - one of the highest-elevation lakes in the country. What this adds up to is an overwhelmingly beautiful mountain destination teeming with diverse resorts, where the sun shines three out of four days of the year.

Why Choose Turquoise?
Family Owned & Run
We are one of the few remaining family owned and run operators of our size. We have direct relationships with every single destination, island, resort and hotel we work with, in order to deliver exceptional and truly personalised service.
Our Passion Runs Deep
We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.
Definition of Luxury
Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.
Fun & Refreshing
We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
