CURATION
Luxury is out, bespoke luxury is in. You’ll want to look beyond simply a five star hotel and first class flights; curation comes with the simplest of detail such as reducing wasted time queuing in airports to securing exclusive use of a highly sought-after hideaway – planning your precious leisure time to perfection is our greatest pleasure and it’s the skills of our curators that turn a trip from mediocre to down-right marvellous. A bespoke approach is a prerequisite for travelling better in a new world – when it’s more personal, it’s more pleasurable.
CARE
From health-enhancing experiences, spirit-lifting exercise in the open air and safe escapes for quality time with your nearest and dearest, our holidays have been curated with the diligence and careful attention to detail required when it comes to your care. We aim to minimise your time in queues and crowds, travelling with privacy, space, security and exclusivity. Uncover the safest destinations with no entry restrictions or quarantine requirements and accommodations leading the way in new initiatives for travellers who may be more cautious.
The human touch
The human touch
IT ’S PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE REAL DIFFERENCE
As you re-enter the world, it’s people who will make the real difference. We want you to feel special, to bring joy to the conversations we might have. You won’t find us distracted handling multiple chats at once or in a rush to move on to the next booking – perfection cannot be hurried and we give you our undivided attention. We want you to feel secure, safe in the knowledge that your health and well-being has been carefully considered and taken care of. We are open, honest, transparent and empathetic, above all, we bring the most important and valuable element to your experience – the human touch.
Whatever your journey; to feel more calm and relaxed, to cement closer bonds with loved ones you’ve missed, to open up your mind to new cultures, to challenge yourself or have a hands-on positive impact on the planet and communities you visit – our belief is your time should be spent on the right experiences and our purpose is to design your days away to feel richer and happier. We will remain accessible and available when you need us. Negotiating and liaising with partners on your behalf we are highly attuned and empathetic to your needs, and will go beyond to ensure your trip is meaningful and memorable.
Making travel less complex
Seamless travel
IN A MORE COMPLEX WORLD
For those who are itching to escape as soon as possible, there are limitations on where you can go, an avalanche of information and new guidelines, and not enough time to research the mind boggling number of variations. What’s more, with talk of electrostatic sprayers, ultraviolet light technology and touch-less check-ins at hotels; to social distancing, temperature checks and compulsory face coverings in airports, there’ll undoubtedly be a change in the way we think, act and venture back into the wider world. Our aim is to make your journeys less complex and more seamless in a world where travel comes with extra considerations. We are well-versed in planning trips with multiple, moving parts; facilitating demands of privacy and exclusivity, as well as the behind-the-scenes legwork to
co-ordinate a smooth end-to-end experience. In this new climate, our insight and expertise, creativity and imagination, accompanied by our close network of facilitators and connectors will open up your mind to awe-inspiring possibilities and ensure you travel better.
Our aim is to make your journeys less complex and more seamless in a world where travel comes with extra considerations.
Private journey‌ FOR ABSOLUTE COMFORT, COMPLETE PRIVACY
An enhanced experience
AND CONSIDERABLE STYLE
As airports and airlines start to share the steps they are taking to make fliers feel comfortable again, we can facilitate more private pathways to get our clients to where they need to be. From private jets, security fast-track and private check-in, to your own departure lounge and the option to board first or last, we work with exclusive airport service providers around the globe to enhance your safety and minimise your journey time. PREMIUM CLASS TRAVEL
In-flight services may not offer the usual experience but premium travel is likely to become more valuable than ever. The added privacy and roomier spaces of flying business or first class can provide the reassurance to those clients wishing to keep a safe distance from others.
Alongside dedicated check-in and lounges, faster security processes and home-to-hotel luggage delivery options all provide for an easier and more enjoyable experience away from the crowds. PRIVATE JETS
If you don’t want to plan around a flight, we can plan a flight around you. Travelling by private jet offers more flexibility with a boutique service, getting you where you need to be in absolute comfort, complete privacy and considerable style. You can fly from smaller, local airports; you are not required to enter main terminals of airports or arrive hours before your flight. These are escapes that take you from door to door.
ENHANCED AIRPORT EXPERIENCE
Eliminate air travel stress by having a security-cleared, personal agent coordinate your movements and whisk you through the airport.
A service that very few people in the world are aware of... You can now have a ‘private jet experience’ even with a commercial flight, with your own lounge and check-in, security fast-track and more. You can bypass the commercial terminal routes and crowds – and with discretion guaranteed, this is the only way to ensure complete privacy and luxury.

A Peloponnese playground
Untouched by mass tourism lies this unspoilt address in Greece Enjoying a privileged position on the Ionian Sea coastline in Greece’s south west Peloponnese is The Westin Resort Costa Navarino. For those craving a change in scenery and to embrace a different way of life, the philosophy here is driven by a genuine desire to promote Messinia, while protecting and preserving not only its natural beauty, but also a remarkable cultural heritage spanning 4,500 years. Enriching experiences you can share with locals include olive harvesting and traditional Messinian cooking with local women who reveal family recipes passed down from mother to daughter. Curated with health and well-being in mind, your journey begins with a private airport experience. Avoiding the main terminals, crowds and queues, arrive directly at your very own lounge before passing through your personal check-in and security processes. Unwind with complimentary refreshments while you await boarding. You’ll then be driven
across the tarmac to the aircraft. On arrival a helicopter transfer will deliver you to the resort. Having reopened this summer with enhanced protocols, you’ll have open-air spaces and a private infinity pool with views of the sprawling gardens. Central to resort life is the Agora village square with Greek amphitheatre and al fresco cinema. There are up to 21 restaurants, cafes and lounge bar options; while a private dining experience, a barbecue on the beach, or a farm-to-table expedition can all be arranged. Families will find countless ways to explore and play. Two children hubs, the Aqua Park, an indoor sports arena, speed experience park, diving and snorkelling, an expansive Racquet Academy, two multi-awarded signature golf courses – the list goes on.

A Sicilian sanctuary
Best of both: go slow days to more energetic pursuits The three-generation holiday is on the rise. After time apart, top of the list for many is a family holiday for all. For us, Verdura Resort – A Rocco Forte Hotel is an obvious choice. It’s surrounded by its own vegetable garden, orange and olive groves and nearly two kilometres of private Mediterranean coastline. But above all, it’s a place where you’ll discover an outstanding level of service. Rocco Forte have implemented their own rigorous protocol, going above and beyond what is internationally required. Curated with health and well-being in mind, your journey begins with a private airport experience. Avoiding the main terminals, crowds and queues, arrive directly at your very own lounge before passing through your personal check-in and security processes. Unwind with complimentary refreshments while you await boarding. You’ll then be driven across the tarmac to the aircraft.
Following a private transfer to the resort, you can expect welcome champagne and a jet lag reviver treatment for two at the spa. Akin to a private apartment, the Grand Suites are exquisitely appointed. Complete with kitchenette, dining and lounging areas with hammocks on a sea-facing double terrace, long leisurely days can be spent without the need to leave the suite at all. However, those who do, won’t be left disappointed. Head to the golf, water sports and tennis clubs. Or perhaps learn a new skill at fencing, karate, bachata dancing and mixology classes, to name just a few. The list of activities in the area is equally lengthy and includes everything from sailing alongside the wild Torre Salsa Nature Reserve or exploring by horseback, to taking off on a helicopter tour over Mount Etna or discovering the island from behind the wheel of a Porsche 718 Boxster.

Puglian privacy
An authentic Italian escape to a village of fairy-tale dreams Surrounded by olive groves within vast grounds along the Puglian coast, Borgo Egnazia is, in our opinion, one of the prettiest places to stay in all of Italy. Built in the style of a traditional village (borgo), this whitewashed haven is a maze of paved alleyways reminiscent of a bygone era that open up to a masseria, central piazza and even a bell-towered church. There’s no doubt that this luxurious resort will offer an experience like nowhere else. Curated with your health and well-being in mind, your journey begins with a private airport experience. Arrive directly at your very own lounge before passing through your personal check-in and security processes. Unwind with complimentary refreshments in the privacy of your lounge while you await boarding. You’ll then be driven across the tarmac to the aircraft. On arrival, you’ll transfer to Borgo Egnazia with a personal driver. In resort, you will be guaranteed maximum space and seclusion to connect with loved ones; your home for the next week will be Villa Bella, a three-story limestone townhouse offering three
bedrooms, private swimming pool and a quiet Mediterranean garden overflowing with Indian figs and scented bougainvillea. A local advisor will be dedicated to you for the duration of the stay. With a wealth of knowledge on the surrounding area, they will take care of everything for you from check-in to check-out, including restaurant reservations and booking activities and tours for you to enjoy. Don’t be afraid to leave the sanctity of your private accommodation. The resort is doing everything they can to uphold exceptional hygiene standards and ensure the safety of guests. Get out to explore and you’ll be spoilt for choice with the resort’s three outdoor pools, dreamy VAIR spa, private beach and delicious dining options; from wood-fired pizzas at the poolside restaurant to Michelin-starred fare at Due Camini. Take the time to stroll through the narrow streets to discover hidden shops stocked full of unique items for you to take home and treasure. You can even learn how to create some of the most famous dishes of the region at the Trattoria Mia Cucina cookery school – this is a place that truly caters for all passions.

A TIME FOR FAMILY AND PURE CELEBRATION, THIS CHRISTMAS, ESCAPE WITH YOUR NEAREST AND DEAREST BY PRIVATE JET TO AN ISLAND UNMATCHED BY ANY OTHERS IN THE CARIBBEAN
High-style meets slow-living
Swap snow for sun and sand this Christmas For those who dream of replacing the festive rush and grey clouds for a week or two under brighter, bluer skies, living a slower pace of life – it’s easy to understand Canouan’s appeal. At just five square miles, the island’s natural beauty creates a level of escapism difficult to find elsewhere. Golf carts replace cars, hummingbirds flit between lush foliage, while rays, eels, and fish teem through the reefs. With a superyacht marina and a glossy bay, this is fast becoming the next “it” destination in the Caribbean. And when so much of your contact and conversation has been virtual in recent months, Mandarin Oriental, Canouan is just the place to take time together offline and indulge in the greatest luxury of all: making memories with your loved ones. Your journey begins as you travel by private jet from London. Instead of endless queuing and crowds, you’ll arrive just 15 minutes before your flight to a private terminal and wait the short time in your
own departure lounge. Once on board, you’ll have the whole aircraft to yourself as you enjoy spacious luxury seats, bespoke refreshments and entertainment. Toast your arrival in Canouan with a negroni before being delivered to your home for the week: a two-bedroom villa. This elegant residence offers stylish indoor/ outdoor living, effortlessly flowing between patio, covered living areas and the private pool deck. Perched at the top of the hillside, the views of Godhal Bay alone make the trip worth it. You won’t be leaving all of the festivities at home; get into the spirit with a performance by the local choir, gather the little ones on Christmas morning to meet Santa on the beach and expect fabulous culinary happenings throughout. If you time your stay right, you can be part of a momentous and memorable event – releasing Hawksbill turtles from the care of their sanctuary back into the wild.

Boho-beauty on St Barths
The peak season choice for blissful refuge A jet set, cosmopolitan crowd head to St Barths in the months of January and February to be part of the stylish and glamorous lifestyle. But hidden away on its own side of the island is Le Toiny, a Relais & Châteaux property attracting a particular type of guest – those who care less about Instagram posts, more about isolated peace. From plumped up sunbeds on the shore to hammocks strung up in the palm grove; from one-to-one sunrise yoga instruction to private heated infinity pools with panoramic sea views – this is the perfect resting spot for mind, body and soul. What’s more, this year it’s been transformed to ensure more privacy and space, alongside enhanced safety measures meaning your health and well-being are all taken care of. Curated with additional care, your journey begins with a private airport experience in London. Avoiding the main terminals, crowds and queues, arrive directly at your very own lounge before passing through your personal check-in and security processes. Unwind with complimentary
refreshments, before being driven directly to your aircraft to take your premium class seats. Arriving in Antigua, you’ll transfer in style by private charter to St Barths for a seamless and premium onward journey with Tradewind Aviation. There are just 14 secluded suites at Le Toiny and these rooms are simply gorgeous – less fussy, more fresh, with oversized everything. There’ll be little incentive to leave, until you’re lured away by the open-air Restaurant Le Gaïac (an island hotspot) and a scene at dinner and Sunday brunch that rivals the ocean vistas from your room. If you’re feeling active there are water sports aplenty and the healing powers of the ocean can provide significant physiological and health benefits for when you return. There are numerous ways to explore St Barths from the deck of a boat to the seat of a scooter, and hikers will be in for quite a treat. This is a boho-beautiful, toes-in-the-sand, long-lunches kind of holiday where intimacy, exclusivity, rejuvenation and relaxation will characterize your stay.

Get in some serious R&R in a hammock by the infinity pool or in the therapeutic spa. Or if you’re feeling more active, explore the protected shoreline by bike, take to the water snorkelling and kayaking, or play a game of croquet or tennis. For laid-back eats, head for The Veranda, the Beach Shack with its West Indian street food or the Pool Grille and dine à la carte. There’s also classic fine dining suffused with modern island flavours at the classy Estate House.

Live out a modern-day Robinson Crusoe adventure Enforced quiet and separation in recent months has reacquainted some of us with the value of peace, while solitude has also whet our appetite for the joys of being with others. For the perfect balance of both – enjoying seclusion with a small group of those closest to you – you’d do well to consider retreating to Gili Lankanfushi in the Maldives. Opening again after a recent refurb, sustainability and community continue to be the buzz-words at this iconic rustic-luxe property. Curated with health and well-being in mind, your journey begins with a private airport experience. Avoiding the main terminals, crowds and queues, arrive directly at your very own lounge before passing through your personal check-in and security processes. Unwind with complimentary refreshments in the privacy of your lounge while you await boarding. You’ll then be driven across the tarmac to the aircraft for your First class flight to the Maldives. A private yacht transfer awaits on arrival.
Gili Lankanfushi knows just how to make new guests feel special. As well as champagne and jet lag massages at the in-villa spa, you’ll be treated to breakfast prepared by a personal chef and served on the balcony facing the sunrise on the first morning of your stay. As the largest over water villa in the world, The Private Reserve is not attached to the main resort. You’ll therefore have the option of using your own personal boat to visit the mainland or can escape from the world and remain within your fully-serviced residence. This sprawling, multi-tiered, fort of dreams is home to a private spa room, gym, cinema, infinity pool and waterslide. A dedicated chef and your Mr/Ms Friday are fully trained on new protocols and will be on hand to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Skis at the ready for mood-boosting fun on the slopes Make no mistake, Courchevel is one of the world’s premier ski resorts for good reason. Hosting oligarchs, A-list celebrities and heads of state who flock here for the five-star everything, the rest turn up for the perfectly groomed pistes and wide intermediate runs. Signalling a new era for the big hitter, Le Chabichou is shiny and refreshed following a makeover last year. Step inside and there’s a feeling of mountain-blessed timelessness; the warmth of weathered wood, family spirit, supreme comfort and discreet luxury. It’s fantastically located on the blue slope that leads to the centre of Courchevel 1850. Curated with additional care, your journey begins with a private airport experience. Avoiding the main terminals, arrive directly at your very own lounge before passing through your personal check-in and security processes. Unwind with complimentary refreshments, before being driven directly to the aircraft. On arrival you’ll transfer to the all-white double chalets that blend in with the snow-capped peaks behind them.
From dog sledding to thrilling toboggan runs, there is little that excites children more than a chance to play in the snow. For taster lessons, the ski school will cater for snow angels as young as 18 months; and then there’s the hotel kid’s club with further tailored activities. Beyond the slopes, Le Chabichou is perhaps best known for its foodie credentials as the only Relais & Châteaux hotel in resort and it’s two Michelin-starred restaurant. Our trio of top tips include booking early to nab the VIP private dining table; joining a cooking class for a privileged opportunity to enter the award-winning kitchens, and upgrading to half board which includes the option of in-room dining for more privacy. You’ll also find the largest spa in Courchevel here, located beneath the slopes and with all manner of multi-sensory treatments – take all the space and time you need, social distancing comes easy here.

Skiing and private house intimacy in Lech Austrian skiing tradition is enshrined in this renowned hotel, established by Olympic ski medallist Othmar Schneider. What already feels more like staying at a friend’s residence than a hotel, for the 2020/21 season, Kristiania Lech will be operating a private house concept. With no access to outside visitors, this member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World will be running an intimate club with no more than 35 guests at any one time. Taking service to another level, you can be sure Kristiania’s unique signature butler services remain – from the ski valet making sure you have everything on the slopes and the bath butler preparing a muscle-soothing soak after a long day of skiing, to the reading butler who will source your favourite books ahead of your arrival and the leisure time consultant guaranteeing every minute here is pure bliss. Curated with your health and well-being in mind, your journey begins with a private airport experience. Avoiding the main terminals, crowds and queues, arrive directly at your very own lounge before
passing through your personal check-in and security processes. Unwind with complimentary refreshments, before being driven across the tarmac to the aircraft. On arrival, a private transfer will deliver you to the boutique hotel and your home for the week. Original pieces of art are a huge part of the décor around the property – all of which is chosen by the hotel’s dynamic owner. Your stay is fully catered to include breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, so you can take all meals at the hotel without having to brave other restaurants if you prefer. Some of our favourite non-skiing experiences include cinema under the stars, a Moroccan picnic in the snow, wine and cheese tastings, and deer watching from the hotel. But for the ultimate private ski experience, choose to go heli-skiing at the two locations in Austria where the bucket-list activity is permitted. A thrilling adrenaline-filled experience suitable for good intermediate skiers and above, travel by helicopter to make fresh tracks on otherwise inaccessible ski areas of untouched snow.
