California Multicentre Holidays

With vibrant cities, golden-sand beaches and award-winning wineries, California has so much to offer first-time and returning travellers. The best way to soak up all that the Golden State has to offer is on an exciting multi-centre holiday, taking in the celeb-culture of Los Angeles, the coastline vibes of San Diego and the innovation and creativity of San Francisco. Want more? There’s old school glamour in Palm Springs and wine tasting galore in Napa.

Fancy seeing what lies beyond California’s borders? Cross the state line into Nevada and make a beeline for Las Vegas to live it up in Sin City – stroll the Strip, test Lady Luck in the casinos and jump in a helicopter to fly over (or into) the Grand Canyon. Further afield, a holiday to California is easily paired with time in Hawaii, surfing the waves of Oahu and taking in the history of Pearl Harbour. We also recommend combining Los Angeles with Los Cabos in Mexico for the ultimate celebrity-style getaway.
