Things are looking up for luxury travel. After months of cancellations and restrictions due to Covid-19, travel destinations are eagerly re-opening, and people are dreaming of escape. Now is the perfect time to plan both this year’s holiday getaways and 2021 vacations.

The face of travel has changed, but Bentley Travel Design is here to help you navigate it. Whatever your comfort level, we curate your custom itinerary. Want to get away from people completely? We can charter private yachts and villas for your group alone. Craving a beach vacay, but don’t want the hassle of Covid testing? We’ll arrange a Cabo escape with the best amenities. We stay informed about all current travel restrictions and requirements, so your trips will always run smoothly, with no surprise headaches, and, during your vacation, we’re on-call 24/7 to answer questions or solve any unexpected issues. With VIP amenities and a full-service concierge experience, we take care of everything. You simply pack a suitcase, show up and enjoy.

With an office located in Oklahoma City, Drenda Roberts started Bentley Travel Design with the desire to help people create their favorite travel memories with friends and family. Below is a list of incredible destinations (with enhanced health and safety measures for your peace of mind) that you can visit right now. Why wait?

ONE&ONLY PALMILLA

FLORA FARMS

Cabo San Lucas

Experience true opulence at the legendary One&Only Palmilla resort, where personalized butler service is just one of the many complimentary amenities. At One&Only, you can relish a decadent hour within the supreme privacy of an individual spa villa, then glide into an ocean-view infinity pool, swim under a waterfall, and sip cold drinks from the swim-up bar.

A short drive away at Flora Farms, enjoy a sumptuous farm-to-table organic dinner, sample a vegetableinfused craft cocktail, take a sunset yoga or cooking class, or simply wander the 25 acres of this idyllic working farm. Inside the beautiful Waldorf-Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, El Farallon restaurant overlooks the Pacific Ocean and boasts an incredible champagne terrace where guests love the “flight of champagne” and salt tastings, and where seafood connoisseurs can savor the fresh catch of the day.

Riviera Maya

One of the top luxury properties in the region, Rosewood Mayakoba is surrounded by verdant jungle and emerald lagoons. Rosewood’s beachfront, ocean view, lagoon and private suites ensure that the ocean is an unforgettable part of your vacation. Rosewood is also a great option for families, who can take advantage of the Rosewood Explorers program, which offers kids’ menus, activities, and special events like eco-tours and themed nights. When Mom and Dad need a break, they can visit the adults-only cantina, a beachside haven offering sensorial culinary journeys.

Cozy meets opulent at Hotel Esencia, a boutique resort offering barefoot luxury with a focus on culture, comfort, and cuisine. You’ll find utter relaxation at the open-air yoga studio followed by a blissful dip in the serene adults-only pool. Don’t forget to visit the upscale aroma spa and sample the onsite garden fare.

HOTEL ESENCIA

AMANYARA

Turks & Caicos

Set on its own private island, COMO Parrot Cay is heaven for divers. After exploring a magical underwater coral city, divers can swim with a richly diverse marine wildlife, including rays, lobsters, turtles, sharks and more.

At Amanyara resort, relax in your own private pool or take a morning swim just steps away from your ocean cove pavilion. For ultra-exclusivity, stay in one of the Amanyara villas. Each villa has its own private chef and host, is nestled on 1.5 acres of private gardens, and incorporates 4-6 individual pavilions surrounding central living and dining areas.

Planning a destination wedding? Look no further than the Shore Club resort. Whether you want a romantic beach wedding, a stunning ceremony at the popular boardwalk venue, or an elegantly private villa affair, the Shore Club has it all.

SHORE CLUB

COMO PARROT CAY

Antigua

“A place to do everything, and nothing,” Hermitage Bay resort is the perfect spot for honeymooners. With no children under 14 permitted at the resort, adults can unwind and revel amid gorgeous ocean views. If you’re not golfing, sailing, scuba diving or sharing a couples’ massage at the garden spa, then sip champagne on the balcony of your luxury sea view garden suite.

Curtain Bluff resort is a “tale of two beaches...one for surf and one for swim.” At this Utopia for ocean activities, you’ll never forget the sun-drenched days of kayaking, surfing, swimming, water skiing, snorkeling, sailing, and indulgent beach concierge service. Curtain Bluff also features one of the best tennis centers on the islands and is hosting several upcoming tennis events that feature players like Dick Stockton and Annabel Croft.

HERMITAGE BAY

CURTAIN BLUFF

LE SERENO

LE TOINY

St. Barth's

Le Toiny provides luxury resort experiences with an added measure of exclusivity. The brand-new Beach Club and the onsite gourmet restaurant both offer exclusive service for all property guests. Each of Le Toiny’s unique, self-standing villa suites comes with a heated private pool, roomy terrace, and stunning ocean views.

Le Sereno Hotel features large villas with full kitchens, a fitness center with personal trainers, a freshwater pool, delectable dining and more. But Le Sereno’s true draw is its reputation as a premiere kite surfing destination. With lessons, guided tours, equipment rental and even open-ocean surfing, there’s something for everyone--from newest beginner to seasoned pro.

Africa

Africa is warmly welcoming travelers — yes, U.S. travelers, too! East Africa is open: Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda. Bentley Travel Design is partnered with Micato Safaris, the nine-time winner of Travel + Leisure’s award for #1 World’s Best Safari Outfitter. One of our favorite Africa partners, Micato carefully crafts safaris to guide you safely and comfortably through the stunning vista of Africa’s rich and varied wildlife. Along with group safaris, Micato offers completely custom private safaris, so you can have the Africa adventure of your dreams — exactly your way. For a truly magical experience, add on to your safari: gorilla trekking in Rwanda, ballooning over Africa, or exploring Zanzibar, the mystical island of spices. The possibilities are truly endless.
