Your coastal character

What your favourite beach holiday says about you

From Portsea to St. Barts, you can tell a lot about a person from how they holiday.

Because – as we should all know – a beach is more than merely sand, surf and sun. It’s an intricately woven garment – one size does not fit all.

Luckily for you, Acquaint can most certainly adapt to every kind of coastal community – and character. But enough about us, let’s review them all and find out which locations speak to your soul.

The elegant escapists go to Portsea

Adorned in linen and wide-brimmed hats, sipping bubbly like it’s the elixir of life, the Portsea vacationer is the epitome of elegance.

They glide over the sand – appearing to any other beachgoer as though their feet aren’t even touching the ground. Yet behind their chic cover-up, matching bag, and bedazzled sunglasses is a heart of gold – eager to sprinkle some humour amongst all the glitz and glam.

So if you’re popping down to Portsea this summer, it’s safe to say you’re doing so with the utmost class – and charm.

The whimsical wanderers go to Hamilton Island

Much like the neighbouring Great Barrier Reef, the Hamilton Island holidayer provides onlookers with a feast for the eyes. Both bedecked in a kaleidoscope of colour – and widely renowned as national treasures.

If you head to Hamilton Island for your holiday, chances are you’re doing so in search of the self – eager to find even more music, art and natural elements that speak to you. And then bring them home to add to your living room shelf of weird and wonderful knick-knacks of travels past.

The precise planners go to Noosa

The Noosa holiday is a meticulous odyssey and must be planned to ensure no minute is wasted. Something that the regular Noosa vacationers understand very well.

Armed with a colour-coded itinerary, SPF 50+ and comfortable walking shoes, the Noosa holidayer runs a tight ship. So it’s up to any tagalongs to keep up – or ship out.

From shopping on Hastings Street to marvelling at the natural wonders of Laguna Lookout, one can always count on a precise planner to put together a trip that everyone will enjoy. So, if you’re the planner in question ­– thank you for your service.

The leisure lovers go to Lorne

Clad in a flowy caftan, with their nose buried in the latest crime fiction read, the Lorne leisure-seeker can be found lounging poolside or beachside – or downing a pint at the pub.

They’re not interested in going out or really doing anything – it’s their holiday, for goodness’ sake. All they’re interested in is rest and relaxation.

If you’re heading to Lorne this summer, we understand you – and wish nothing but utmost peace and quiet for your getaway.

The stylish socialites go to St. Barts

Where else would the glamorous socialite swan off to for their beach sojourn but a place equally glamorous?

From St. Jean to Colombier, St. Barts’ beaches are the perfect stage for seaside sophistication, bursting at the seams with people ready to debut their haute couture beachwear on the sandy runway.

To the St. Barts vacationer, we salute you. And if you need anyone to help you take the perfect photo or zip up the last few centimetres of your gossamer gown before dinner, just give us a call.

Our tailored, day and overnight care services go beyond traditional offerings – and locations. So if you’re in need of a beachside companion or assistant holiday planner – give us a call at 03 9267 9090. We’ll come along to ensure you have the perfect getaway, no matter how you holiday.
