Set in the peaceful Kent countryside just a few miles from the historic town of Sandwich, Formosa brings you luxury accommodation for 8 guests with a private swim spa/hot tub and a play area in large enclosed gardens. The feels are entirely unruffled, making for a truly relaxing stay for friends and family. Come with the loveliest people in your life and make the most of the tranquility; enjoy every single minute of your holiday or celebration weekend away, knowing that here, all is well.

Step inside and you could easily be forgiven for thinking you’d been transported to some luxury Italian villa; so much thought has gone into making this a very special place to stay for all ages. The high spec interiors are rich and lavish, furnishings are sumptuous and so stylishly modern, bedrooms are spacious yet cosy. Level floors throughout make this an all-inclusive holiday house with extra wide doors allowing room for wheelchair manoeuvrability.

If you’re blessed with good weather during your stay, spend time in the garden; there’s a large lawn to play on and a deck that runs the whole length of the house. Have a leisurely barbecue, watch the little ones having fun in the play area, and make the most of the swim spa/hot tub; lark about together during the day, love star gazing at night.

Should you wish to venture out you’ll find plenty to do nearby. Explore the winding streets of Sandwich, lined with beautiful old buildings; a riverside stroll , a bite to eat at Luigi's Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria. Have a family day out at Wingham Wildlife Park, or go and discover Canterbury and visit the famous cathedral.

And beach days. Who doesn’t love to be beside the seaside? Head over to the Thanet coast and take your pick from the golden sands of Margate and Ramsgate or the quieter spots like Stone Bay and Joss Bay. Stroll along the pier at Deal for tea and cake in the glass walled café, screech with delight on the rides at Dreamland Margate, get wired for sound at the roller disco.

Outdoorsy sorts can make a splash at Whitemills Wakeboarding and Aqua Park; go seal spotting on a Dover Sea Safari, see if there really are bluebirds flying over the White Cliffs of Dover. Pack a picnic and stride out into the wilds of the Kent Downs.

Your holiday world awaits you, there are good times to be had and memories to be made.
