General Manager
Hailing from Australia, I travelled to Europe on a Gap Year (many years ago) - and never went home! I have travelled the world and worked in travel ever since creating unforgettable experience for thousands of clients from backpackers to luxury travellers. I have backpacked across South America, travelled by rail on the Trans Mongolian railway from Moscow to Beijing, chased the northern lights across Iceland and experienced the a touch of luxury in South East Asia. I'm passionate about travel and now bring my young family along for the ride!
TOP TRAVEL TIP: Be prepared and go with the flow. Do some research about your destination, get to know local people where you are travelling and if something unexpected happens or you are delayed, treat it as part of the adventure.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Crete, Greece - Villa Dimitra
What's not to love? A luxury villa on the beach big enough to take the whole family (including the Grandparents). I love to bring some babysitters on holiday. The kids love it and me and the husband get to have a night off. Win, win.
Head of Marketing
I have worked in the travel industry my entire career - starting out as a ski rep, before eventually earning my marketing stripes with one of the world’s largest travel companies. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the world - backpacking in Cambodia and hiking Kilimanjaro being particular highlights. Nowadays, I have young boys who love travelling as much as I do and a villa holiday is perfect for us. The family love the freedom and flexibility, and of course - having a private pool with no opening times is a huge bonus!
TOP TRAVEL TIP: Always go where the locals go to eat. Ask for recommendations and try the local food. The best places are very rarely the ones who advertise themselves!
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Mallorca - Villa Amore
Mallorca is the perfect getaway, whatever type of holiday you’re looking for and is incredibly well suited to traveling with a family. The local restaurants have some great local seafood and are very welcoming of families. It’s an easy island to explore with a car and the kids will love the beaches. If you want something a little more relaxed, take the old wooden train through the mountains from Palma to Soller - something not to be missed.
Head of Sales & Operations
I have worked in the travel industry for longer than I would like to admit! I have visited the most incredible destinations from Italy to Argentina, and been fortunate enough to immerse myself in so many cultures and meet the most amazing people along the way.
Travel has always been a passion of mine, and I feel so fortunate to be part of arranging other people's holidays which can create lifelong memories. Some of my own favourite memories have been created whilst on a villa holiday. From DIY kids' discos , to table tennis tournaments where my grandmother came top of the leader board and lazy games of scrabble in the sunshine.
TOP TRAVEL TIP: grab a car and go exploring! The beauty of so many of our villas is that you have the most incredible scenery, towns and local villages on your doorstep. A car makes the whole destination accessible and ensures you don't miss out on any hidden treasures!
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Sicily, Italy - Blue Moon Villa
Being a lover of food and wine, it has to be Italy for me. If you are looking to combine breathtaking sea views and lush gardens all within easy reach of some of Sicily's most quaint towns, then Blue moon is the perfect retreat. There are so many fabulous beaches to explore nearby, or you have the option of relaxing in the sun whilst the kids splash around in the private pool.
Product & Commercial Manager
I started working in the villa sector of the travel industry 24 years ago and have been a passionate advocate of villa holidays ever since. My work has taken me across Europe, where I’ve had the privilege of staying in some truly exceptional villas in remarkable destinations. I continue to enjoy villa holidays with family and friends, and I’ve personally visited most of the destinations featured by SPL Villas.
I’ve also enjoyed many memorable villa holidays in Croatia with friends and family. The Dalmatian Coast offers a stunning mix of crystal-clear waters, charming historic towns, and breathtaking island scenery, making it an ideal villa destination. From Dubrovnik to Split and the surrounding islands, you’ll find a wonderful blend of culture, warm hospitality, and exceptional local cuisine.
TOP TRAVEL TIP: Book in advance to ensure you get the villa that you want, availability goes quickly and you don’t want to miss out!
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Omis, Croatia - Villa Plazu
Villa Plazu is particularly special for its stunning sea views and peaceful setting, while still being within easy reach of the beach, shops, and local restaurants and cafés, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience.
Product & Commercial Manager
I studied Tourism Business Management at university and graduated in 2016. I have always had a passion for travel since a young age and have been lucky enough to travel to many countries across the world. I started working at SPL Villas in September 2022 where I have been lucky enough to build working relationships across Europe and USA, to deliver the best villas available. Villa holidays are perfect for friends and families who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of a hotel and enjoy each other’s company from your own private surroundings.
TOP TRAVEL TIP: Plan your days ahead to ensure that you get the most out of your destination, whether its sightseeing attractions or restaurant reservations!
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Rhodes, Greece – Villa Seven
Villa Seven is my favourite villa because it combines luxury, privacy, and an unbeatable beachfront location. The stunning infinity pool and breathtaking sea views create the perfect setting for relaxation. Greece is a favourite holiday destination for me, and I have visited multiple times. Rhodes is a perfect destination if you are looking to experience good food, stunning views and beaches and lovely warm weather.
Product & Commercial Manager
I have always loved travelling and decided to study Tourism Business Management at the University of Greenwich in London. After graduating I decided to take a gap year travelling the world and was lucky to travel to many amazing countries which include Japan, Thailand, New Zealand, America, Caribbean and Europe. Upon my return home I started working in the villa sector industry and have found a job I love! I have been fortunate to travel with my job in Europe and have met lots of amazing people with beautiful villas. I now enjoy a villa holiday with my family and friends as we don’t have to worry about fighting for a sun bed and enjoy the privacy a villa provides.
TOP TRAVEL TIP: Immerse yourself in the culture and don’t be afraid to try different cuisines, talk to the locals and explore hidden gems. I like to research before travelling to find amazing restaurant recommendations, hidden beaches, local markets etc
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Mallorca, Spain- Can Jaume
I love Spain and I think the Balearic islands are a brilliant choice for families as it offers lovely warm weather, beautiful sandy beaches and delicious cuisine. Also it is only a short flight which is a bonus when travelling with children. I love to choose a property which is close to amenities and the beach so I don’t always have to rely on a car, so Can Jaume is the perfect choice.

Product & Commercial Manager
Originally from the beautiful city of Porto in Portugal, I moved to the UK in 2019 and joined the travel industry in 2023. I’ve loved being part of the SPL Villas Product team ever since. Travel has always been a huge passion of mine. I’m the kind of person who is constantly researching new destinations, hidden gems, and local food spots (even when I don’t have a trip planned!). For me, there’s nothing better than exploring somewhere new, soaking up the culture, and bringing those little discoveries back to inspire others.
TOP TRAVEL TIP: Slow down and soak up the local culture, whether that’s enjoying a coffee in a neighborhood café, wandering through markets, or asking locals for their recommendations. Those little moments often become the best memories.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Madeira, Portugal – Villa Belissima
For me, there’s no place like home, and Madeira is a destination that always feels special. The island has a bit of everything: dramatic mountains, golden beaches, delicious food, and year-round sunshine. Villa Belissima is one of my favourites as it offers modern comfort, plenty of space, and breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean — the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing villa holiday.
Product & Commercial Assistant
I joined SPL Villas in January 2024 after completing my university degree. I had also previously helped out at the company in a temporary role. Making me relatively new to the travel sector. However, my enthusiasm for the travel industry has grown rapidly. I've been lucky enough to travel and experience some of the locations we have to offer at SPL Villas with friends and family. I do sincerely believe staying in villas gives freedom and privacy which is unique.
TOP TRAVEL TIP: If at all possible plan your trip during the off-peak season to enjoy better rates and a more relaxed atmosphere at your chosen destination.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Carvoeiro, Portugal - Villa Manou
The Algarve is one of my favourite destinations for its mix of stunning coastline, relaxed atmosphere and incredible food. I love spending the day exploring hidden beaches and cliff-top walks before heading into Carvoeiro for dinner and drinks. Villa Manou offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, making it an ideal base to experience everything this beautiful part of Portugal has to offer.
Operations Assistant
I have been in the travel industry since 1994 and previously worked for a major high street travel agent where I gained most of my experience and expertise. Before joining SPL Villas, I was working for an independent family run travel company where I enjoyed compiling complex worldwide itineraries. When not endeavouring to deliver the best memories possible for my customers, I am either enjoying the sun or longing for its return.
TOP TRAVEL TIP: If you fancy a catered meal, why not ask us about local chefs, who can come and prepare you a delicious meal within your villa.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Turkey - Villa Azalea
I love visiting Turkey and have taken many family holidays to this destination. This villa is wonderfully spacious, private and offers superb sea views. With local amenities and the beach close by, it is perfect for a family villa holiday or with a group of friends.
Villa Specialist
Travel has always been my passion, for just over 25 years I have had the pleasure of being a part of this wonderful industry and creating the most memorable holiday experiences for customers. Prior to joining SPL Villas, I spent most of my career working for a Tour Operator and specialising in tailor made holidays, detail is key and always ensuring the best customer experience.
I have been to the most amazing European countries where many of our villas are located and had the pleasure of getting under the skin of the country by exploring in a car, on foot or on bike, there is nothing better than living as a local, trying delicious food and wine, and the siestas of course (without having to reserve your sunbed)!
TOP TRAVEL TIP: To guarantee the best villa to meet all your needs, book early, once it is sold it is sold.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Latchi, Cyprus - Villa Androula
Cyprus is my family's go-to European destination and holds so many special memories. With year-round sunshine, fresh seafood, local wine and a wonderfully relaxed pace of life, what's not to love? This villa is perfectly located for exploring Polis, Latchi and the Aphrodite nature trails. I never tire of the views or the luxury of choosing my own sunbed spot to enjoy a beautiful sunset with a glass of Keo.
Villa Specialist
I've spent most of my career helping clients plan unforgettable holidays and creating trips tailored to exactly what they're looking for. Travel has always been a huge passion of mine and I love discovering new destinations, whether that's exploring a hidden taverna in Greece, finding the perfect family beach in Mallorca or uncovering a beautiful villa in a destination I've never visited before.
What I love most about villa holidays is the freedom they offer. As a mum myself, I understand how valuable it is to have your own space, set your own pace and enjoy quality time together without having to work around hotel schedules. Whether you're planning a special family getaway, a celebration with friends or your dream honeymoon, I love taking the time to understand exactly what matters most and helping clients find the perfect villa and destination.
TOP TRAVEL TIP: Don't over-plan. Some of the best holiday memories come from long lunches, spontaneous discoveries and allowing yourself time to simply enjoy where you are.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION & VILLA: Corfu, Greece – Villa White Stone
If I had to choose one villa from the collection, it would be Villa White Stone in Kassiopi, Corfu. The views are absolutely incredible, overlooking the Ionian Sea, and I love the balance it strikes between contemporary design and authentic Greek charm. Kassiopi itself is one of my favourite corners of Greece, with beautiful waterfront tavernas, crystal-clear swimming spots and a relaxed atmosphere that works equally well for families and couples. For me, it's the perfect example of a villa holiday that feels special from the moment you arrive.

I love speaking with customers and helping them plan their perfect getaways, ensuring they make lasting memories. I'm dedicated to understanding customer needs and crafting personalised holiday plans that turn holiday dreams into reality. I also believe every great holiday starts with a perfectly mixed cocktail—shaken, not stirred, of course!
TOP TRAVEL TIP: When exploring a new destination, don't forget to venture off the beaten path. Some of the best experiences aren't found in the guidebooks. So, be open to wandering down narrow streets, trying local eateries, and discovering charming spots. You never know what delightful surprises await!
