We will be happy to help you with any queries!
Supplement and Reductions
Single room: Our all-inclusive prices are based on two sharing a twin or double room. If you prefer we can arrange single rooms at a reasonable extra cost. Prices vary depending on your chosen hotel.
Children sharing rooms with parents qualify for a discount. Please call the office for details as the discount is variable depending on hotel choice and time of travel.
Group discount: Book 20 places and get 20th place free!
The group discounts apply only to the basic brochure price: not ancillary costs. Cancellations will effect group reductions- free place loss could apply. Full names must be supplied at least 8 weeks before departure, along with 50% non-refundable deposit.
Winter Sports & Travel Insurance
You must organise your own travel insurance. Sunshine World strongly recommends getting insurance for the entire duration of your stay which covers you for cancellation, curtailment and winter sports including mountain rescue and repatriation.
