Featured Itineraries

A starting point
for something rarer.

Sample journeys across five of our most-loved regions. Treat them as the opening page of a conversation — every itinerary we craft is redesigned, end to end, around you.

Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia.

Limestone bays, ancient capitals, and quiet hill country — travelled slowly.

Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia12 Days

Vietnam, Slowly: Hanoi to the Mekong

A north-to-south arc through Vietnam at a pace that lets the country reveal itself. Days are unhurried — long lunches with chefs, private boats away from the crowd, and evenings on terraces that face the water.

  • Hanoi old quarter & a private cyclo tour
  • Overnight on a chartered junk in Lan Ha Bay
  • Hoi An lantern-makers & a riverside tasting menu
  • A working rice estate in the Mekong Delta
Southeast Asia10 Days

Bali & Java, Behind the Curtain

Two islands, two distinct rhythms. Java's spiritual heart and Bali's gentler tempo, joined by villas chosen for their setting and a small team on the ground who make the schedule disappear.

  • Sunrise at Borobudur with a private guide
  • A residency-style stay in Ubud's hills
  • Surf-and-sand days on the Bukit Peninsula
  • Private dinner with a Balinese family

Italy

Italy.

Lakes, vineyards, art cities and the coast — all on your own clock.

Italy
Italy14 Days

The Slow Italian Summer: Lakes, Tuscany, Amalfi

The classic Italian arc, designed with restraint. Three regions, three very different paces, and a single concierge stitching them together. Long lunches, short transfers, and the right people meeting you at every door.

  • A villa above Lake Como with a private boatman
  • Vineyard lunches in Chianti and Montalcino
  • A Vatican tour after the gates have closed
  • A chartered gozzo along the Amalfi Coast
Italy9 Days

Sicily, End to End

Sicily on its own terms — older, wilder, more layered than the mainland. We thread together the island's best private homes and hotels and the kind of access that turns a meal into a memory.

  • Palermo's markets with a working chef
  • A baroque circuit through Noto & Ortigia
  • Etna's slopes with a sommelier
  • Two nights on the Aeolian Islands

Greece

Greece.

Mainland myth, island light, and the sea as company.

Greece
Greece10 Days

Romantic Greece Island Hopping

Built for two. A small string of Cycladic islands, each chosen for its own mood — bright and bustling, quiet and considered, romantic and remote — connected by private transfers and a yacht when the weather is right.

  • Three nights in a caldera cave suite
  • Private sailing day around the Small Cyclades
  • Folegandros on foot with a local guide
  • A final night in Athens, with the Acropolis to yourselves
Greece12 Days

Athens, Crete & the Cyclades

Three Greeces in one trip. Athens's classical depth, Crete's wide-open landscape and food culture, and the easy island rhythm of the western Cyclades — bound together by carefully picked stays and a yacht to move between them.

  • Acropolis after-hours with an archaeologist
  • A villa stay in western Crete
  • Cooking with a Cretan grandmother
  • Sailing days through Milos & Sifnos

France

France.

Paris, Provence, the Riviera and the wine country in considered measure.

France
France11 Days

Paris, Provence & the Côte d'Azur

The grand French triangle, edited. We linger where it matters — a long Paris weekend, a slow few days in the Luberon, and time on the Riviera that doesn't feel like high season — and skip the rest.

  • A private viewing at a Paris atelier
  • Lavender fields & a Michelin lunch in Provence
  • A perfumer's workshop in Grasse
  • A private yacht day from Cap-Ferrat
France8 Days

Bordeaux Châteaux & the Dordogne

For the food-and-wine traveller. A short, deeply curated week that pairs Bordeaux's most generous estates with the slower country pleasures of the Dordogne — long tables, good cellars, and very few other guests.

  • Right-bank tastings with the winemakers
  • A private château stay, fully staffed
  • Truffle hunting in the Périgord
  • Sarlat market with a chef in tow

Africa

Africa.

Private conservancies, imperial cities, and the great southern coast.

Africa
Africa10 Days

Kenya & Tanzania: The Great Migration

Timed to the migration but designed around solitude. Private conservancies mean no crowds at the sighting, dedicated guides who know the cats by name, and camps that feel like very quiet country houses.

  • Private conservancy stays in the Mara
  • Bush-plane hops between camps
  • Walking safari in the Serengeti
  • A final night above Ngorongoro Crater
Africa12 Days

Cape Town, the Winelands & Kruger

South Africa's classic combination, set up to feel like one trip rather than three. Smooth handovers between city, wine country and bush, with the right rooms in each and a single point of contact throughout.

  • A private Table Mountain hike at dawn
  • Cellar tastings in Franschhoek & Stellenbosch
  • Three nights in a private Kruger concession
  • A Sabi Sand lodge with a personal tracker
Africa9 Days

Morocco: Imperial Cities to the Sahara

A circuit through Morocco that balances the spectacle of the imperial cities with quieter, more sensory moments — slow afternoons in riads, dinners under the desert sky, and a curated handful of artisans you'd never find on your own.

  • A private riad in the Marrakech medina
  • A leather workshop in Fes with a master artisan
  • An overnight luxury camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes
  • Long lunch in the Ourika Valley
