with 15 that are new to the operator including boutique hotels under the Livvo brand in Gran Canaria and Tenerife. New family-focused properties include Las Terrazas de Abama Suites in Tenerife and Villas Alondra in Lanzarote. The operator is offering flights from 24 UK airports. Alex Gavalda, Classic’s internal sales, product and
commercial director, said: “Longstanding relationships that we have nurtured with our hotel partners allow us to source more competitive prices and, often of greater significance, a larger hotel inventory.”
In the Balearic Islands brochure, 10 of the 12 new
properties carry five-star ratings and flights are available from up to 27 UK airports. Agents making bookings will be rewarded with
incentives of up to £1,500 per booking paid on to their Classic Black Card, a reloadable Visa card. A five-night stay at Kimpton Aysla Mallorca costs
from £1,674, while a nine-night holiday at Hotel Las Terrazas de Abama Suites costs from £1,705. Both prices are based on two adults sharing B&B
accommodation, and include private transfers and flights from Gatwick on May 21. Gavalda added: “Post-pandemic, the balance
seems to have finally tipped, with the introduction of new luxury product and a high level of investment in remodelling and refurbishing existing hotel stock.”
