Golfing / Sports Holiday ! And by that we don’t mean flying off to Berlin with the boys to go to a football game – we mean actual physical activity! World class skiing on the slopes of St Moritz or teeing off where the modern game of golf was first invented! (If you don’t know where that is, you probably shouldn’t be playing!) Or maybe reef diving in clear turquoise waters is more your cup of tea. Whatever your passion you should always (no exceptions) stay in style.
