History

Serenity Holidays was set up in the late 1980s by Stephen and Sandra Wilde and initially offered just flights and holidays to The Gambia in West Africa. The Gambia continued to be the main area of specialism for Serenity until 2003 with the acquisition of Sussex based tour operator, Holiday Places. This then added a range of European destinations to the company, including the island of Corsica.

In recent years a mix of further acquisitions and organic growth has seen the introduction of Cape Verde, Goa and Sardinia to the Serenity Holidays portfolio.

All of our specialist holidays offer excellent value and choice. We are an independent company where emphasis is very much on quality and service.

Today Serenity Holidays employs around 50 staff in the UK at our offices in Fareham, Hampshire. Whilst we are still independently owned, Stephen and Sandra have stepped back from the day to day running of the company. Our Managing Director, Chris Ayling, now oversees the daily operation of the business in the UK and in our overseas areas.

Serenity Holidays have been arranging holidays to Corsica for 38 years. Our sales team have the personal first-hand knowledge to help you choose the holiday best suited to your needs with our bi-lingual and knowledgeable overseas staff always at hand to help whilst on your holiday.

As a specialist we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, customer care and treating customers as individuals.
