WHAT CAN NIRVANA PROVIDE ME?
Nirvana's team of travel consultants are available to book your ATOL-protected flights and arrange any air shipment of specialist equipment. We work every day with most of the major airlines and airports and understand the individual carriage and collection policies.
Our understanding of the wide range of airline carriage policies ensure your bike shipment is compliant and the consignment is transported safely and securely.
vents provide the challenge of a lifetime in some of the world's most iconic and beautiful locations, however they are not always the easiest sites to access.
Getting from your arrival point to the event site can be one of the most difficult parts of your journey, particularly if you have equipment to transport. With this in mind we provide an express transfer service direct from the airport to your hotel, coordinated by our airport meet & greet team.
The transfer is available as a private or shared service and in both cases will have provision for any pre-booked equipment or special needs requirements such as children's seats. All transfers must be pre-booked.
As sport specialists, working closely with the British Triathlon Federation, the Nirvana team understand the event programme and procure hotels that offer the best possible access to the course, provide athlete friendly services and of course offer a range of price points.
The Nirvana Collection of hotels includes the Official GB Team Hotel, endorsed by British Triathlon, this hotel will be the hub for the athletes and Nirvana in-resort team. The Support team are available 24/7 to support our athletes and handle any changes or issues that arise pre, post or during the event.
When selecting our accommodation options we are always conscious of the nutritional needs of our athletes and make every effort to make sure a varied, athlete friendly and focused menu is available.
We also realise that it is often an early start on race day morning and that breakfast is an essential part of your preparation, and therefore arrange and ensure an early start, athlete focused breakfast, is available for our athletes and supporters.
