About Luxury Holidays Direct

Luxury Holidays, Personally Created

Request a quote

Luxury Holidays Direct is part of Sunset Travel Ltd, a long-established, family-owned independent UK tour operator with more than 40 years' experience creating holidays around the world.

From our modest beginnings, Sunset Travel has grown into an established and financially secure travel company employing a team of more than 30 people. Yet despite that growth, the principles behind our business remain very much the same: personal service, specialist knowledge, carefully selected travel partners and holidays created around the individual customer.

LuxuryHolidaysDirect.com was created to bring that experience to travellers looking for exceptional holidays at competitive prices, combining the convenience of booking online with the knowledge and support of an experienced tour operator.

We believe luxury isn't simply about staying in a five-star hotel. It's about choosing the right destination, the right resort, the right room and the right experiences — and knowing that the arrangements behind your holiday have been carefully considered.

Expert Travel Advice

Shamira Kaumaya

Director

As Director of Luxury Holidays Direct, my journey in the travel industry has been built on a genuine passion for travel, a commitment to excellence, and a belief that every holiday should be a memorable experience.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of developing strong relationships with leading luxury hotels, resorts, and travel partners around the world. These relationships, combined with my extensive knowledge of long-haul destinations, have enabled me to offer our clients exceptional holidays, personalised service, and outstanding value.

For me, success is not simply measured by sales, but by the trust we build, the loyalty of our clients, and the experiences we help create.

I remain personally involved in driving the business forward, developing new opportunities, and ensuring that our clients receive the attention and expertise they deserve.

Travel has never been just a business to me. It is my passion, and that passion continues to inspire everything we do at Luxury Holidays Direct.

The Maldives: My Second Home

I’ve been lucky enough to visit the Maldives many times, and every time I return, it feels less like a holiday and more like coming home. The crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, warm sunsets and peaceful atmosphere never lose their magic.

There is something truly special about the Maldives. Whether I’m relaxing by the ocean, exploring the beautiful underwater world, or simply enjoying the sound of the waves, I always feel completely at peace.

After so many visits, the Maldives has become more than just a destination for me — it’s my second home, a place filled with wonderful memories that I know I’ll keep returning to.

The Maldives will always have a special piece of my heart.

Jonathan Winstone

Senior Sales Consultant

I have been working in the travel industry for the best part of 20 years now, a career that completely grew out of my own round-the-world adventures. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of travelling around every single continent (except Antarctica, which is still firmly on my bucket list!), with my personal favourite countries being Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Bolivia.

Over the years, I’ve developed extensive, first-hand knowledge of Thailand and the Philippines especially, alongside the rest of Asia, including Malaysia, Vietnam, and Bali. Combined with my experience in Mauritius and the Maldives, I pride myself on offering an enthusiastic, honest approach to travel consultation. For me, it’s all about building trusted, long-term relationships with my clients to craft the perfect trip.

I very much look forward to speaking with you and helping you plan your next escape.
