WHAT WE DO
We run the trip. We do not just sell it.
We plan private travel across Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean, regions that are hard to do well from a distance. We are not a booking site, and we are not a broker who passes you to a local operator once you have paid. We are the local operator. One team designs the trip, runs it, and stays reachable the whole way through.
The result is a trip that fits how you actually travel, with the planning and the running both off your plate.
Sands and Serenades comes from the team behind Weddings N More, a destination specialist with fifteen years and more than a hundred events delivered across East Africa, the Indian Ocean islands, North Africa and Asia.

Old light and salt air
The terraces of Amalfi, Santorini at dusk, and the red rock of Wadi Rum. History you can walk through.

Why people travel with us
01
On the ground, not at a distance
Most concierges serving these regions work from London or New York and hand delivery to a local operator. That handoff is where trips quietly fail. We are the operator and the concierge at once, so there is no seam to fall through.
02
The rigour of a wedding company
We come out of a company that runs multi-day destination weddings across borders, more than a hundred of them. A wedding is the least forgiving travel event there is. A holiday is simpler, and we hold it to the same standard.
03
Access through relationships
The lodges, guides and houses come from years of real relationships, not a wholesale catalogue. That is what gets you the room that is not online and the guide who is genuinely the best.
