Escape the Summer Holiday Crowds with Early Autumn Deals from Hayes and Jarvis

LONDON, July 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

The long haul specialists offer customers the chance to avoid big crowds and escape to a range of tranquil resorts during late summer

Summer is often the number one choice for families wishing to get away and enjoy some sun in traditional European resorts. Holidaying during July or August means a much better chance of favourable temperatures in such destinations, and school holidays make booking convenient for couples with young children. Of course going away at this time means sharing the beach or poolside with other people, possibly not the ideal way to enjoy a relaxing break. Long haul destinations really are ideal for getting away from it all, and jetting off during the post-school holiday period virtually guarantees a truly tranquil, rejuvenating break. What's more, many of Hayes and Jarvis' long haul destinations continue to bask in warm, sunny weather well into the Autumn, making it the ideal choice for those wishing to escape the summer holiday crowds.

Consisting of bungalows set on a secluded peninsula, this hotel provides guests the privacy needed to really unwind as the ocean gently laps the powdery sand. The Ylang spa here is an excellent facility with its Japanese bath, steam baths and massage treatments.
