Growing the Family
Growth for us has never been about getting bigger just for the sake of it. From the very beginning, our philosophy has been to handpick the homes we feature, the people we work with, and the businesses we bring on board.
Every acquisition reflects this ethos. We seek out partners who share our commitment to personal service and local knowledge, enriching our portfolio with exceptional villas and châteaux and strengthening the community of experts behind every stay.
In 2024, we welcomed Menorca Private Owners. Their team brings deep insight into their island and share our passion for creating extraordinary villa holidays.
And now, we celebrate the next milestone. As of 1st October 2025, we are proud to welcome Pure France, whose beautiful collection of homes and specialist team perfectly align with our vision for unique, memorable stays.
Both MPO and Pure France will continue to operate under their own names, supported by the reach and expertise of Oliver’s Travels. For us, it’s the best of both worlds: honouring their heritage while growing together.
Our acquisitions tell the story of growth through partnership. Here’s a look at the milestones that continue to define who we are.
“Acquisitions have played a key role in shaping Oliver’s Travels into the business it is today. Over the years, we’ve welcomed like-minded companies – including Menorca Private Owners and Pure France, which continue to run under their trusted names. Each partnership has strengthened our portfolio, expanded expertise, and ensured we remain true to our values while growing. With more opportunities in the pipeline, we’re always open to conversations with other businesses who share our passion for creating exceptional villa holidays.”
