City Breaks & Weekend Getways

Starved for time but big on travel ideas? Lightfoot’s Travel Designers are experts when it comes to short trips that squeeze in luxury, relaxation, adventure and fun. For a fast and effortless getaway, our exclusive collection of minibreaks have a clever way of making you feel like you’ve been on holiday for double the amount of days (with rejuvenation levels to match).

A few days is the perfect length for a beach escape, gentle spa retreat or to stay in a boutique hotel (staycations included!) in a city. And just because they’re compact, it doesn’t mean that short breaks can’t be experiential and enlightening. If sun loungers make you antsy, try an action-packed two-to-four night getaway that includes hot air ballooning over China, scuba diving in Lombok, trekking the tea trails of Sri Lanka, sushi-making workshops in Tokyo or wine tasting in Australia’s Margaret River region.

Asia is the perfect start-off point for a little island hopping, and the options are endless. Go for the ultimate in chill on Thailand’s many beaches, or add some exercise to your itinerary with a spot of snorkelling in Palawan. For a quick culture fix, Cambodia’s spiritual Siem Reap is ideal for a weekend exploring majestic Angkor Wat, and the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh city have the power to energise and inspire in just a 48-hour visit.
