_{Monday 19th April 2010}

Tired of all the talk about elections and volcanoes, or just returned from an epic reconnaissance trip so that your spouse/child could return to work/school/university today?

No doubt you could be in desperate need of a luxuriously relaxing holiday, that is, when the ash clears from European Airspace. Virgin Limited Edition offers some great ideas for exotic European getaways in the sun this summer.

The Lodge in Verbier is part of Virgin Limited Edition, these are a collection of Sir Richard Branson’s privately owned award-winning luxury retreats, and has some great offers for families, couples and groups of friends to enjoy Verbier this summer.

Rates during the summer season from the 18th June to 19th September 2010 start at £530, with the Master Suite at a little extra of £730. These rates are per room per night based on two adults sharing and include accommodation for two people with all meals and drinks including fine wines and champagne; and 24 hour driver service within Verbier.

The Lodge is also offering three packages incorporating the adrenaline junkies with the ‘Alpine Adventures’ summer offer, where guests can create their own active experience choosing from a range of activities.

For those who have never played golf in the Alps then the ‘Golf with Altitude’ offer is the perfect opportunity – the views over the mountains are so spectacular they may have trouble concentrating on their swing!

If the idea of all that activity sounds a little too much there is also the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate with a ‘Summer Spa Retreat’.  Guests can unwind with spa treatments chosen from a wide range of treatments on offer and if this isn’t enough, The Lodge also has an indoor pool, outdoor and indoor Jacuzzis and a steam room. 

Rates for these summer offers start from £890 per person for three nights and are based on double occupancy.
