Annabel Croft Holidays
Welcome to my Holidays website, which includes some of my favourite destinations for the perfect holiday. They all have a great climate, sensational beaches, wonderful and friendly staff, fabulous food and most importantly for me, sporting activities and a wellbeing theme.
Playing Tennis in the morning, Reading a great book on the beach, enjoying wonderful fresh local food and a Yoga class at the end of the day – finishing with a quick dip in the pool before those sundowners on the terrace and a delicious, nutritious dinner in one of the magical restaurants is my idea of heaven.
If you would like more details or have any questions about any of the beautiful hotels and destinations that I have partnered with, then please do not hesitate to contact us at info@annabelcroftholidays.com or call 0207 751 9042
Best wishes
Annabel Croft
A former British Number One Tennis champion, Annabel Croft retired from professional tennis at the age of twenty-one. Her charm and entertaining playing style made her a house hold name and a great favourite with fans both at live tennis events and on television and these attributes transferred naturally to the world of entertainment / media.
Immediately after her retirement, Annabel developed, and continues to enjoy, long term relationships with many of the leading broadcasters’ both as an anchor, commentator, tennis reporter and as an all-round sports correspondent.
Annabel has developed a successful media career, initially as the face of Channel 4’s Treasure Hunt and ITV’s Interceptor. She took part in the award winning documentary series Famous Rich and Homeless for BBC1, where she lived homeless on the streets of London for 9 days.
Annabel also hosted her own series, The Flying Picnic, for Granada and Sky Travel. Travelling around in an original DeHavilland Moth plane, she collected the ingredients from around Britain to recreate the famous household guru’s ‘Mrs Beeton’s Picnic for Forty’ which since airing has received record viewer ratings. Tapping into her passion of healthy and fun eating and cooking for family and friends, The Flying Picnic saw Annabel celebrate the quality of food Britain really has to offer.
Naturally, every year sees Annabel continue to play an integral role in the coverage of Wimbledon, for both BBC and Radio 5 Live and has also hosted “Live@Wimbledon” on behalf of AELTC for the Tournament and its global Internet audience.

For many years, she has been a key part of Sky’s coverage of the ATP Masters Series. Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho recently called her his favourite female Sports Pundit in the Daily Telegraph.
