Before you fly

The journey to your destination should feel as indulgent as the holiday itself. With the right arrangements, even the airport transforms into a sanctuary of ease and elegance. You can arrive at a discreet entrance and step into a private suite, where check-in, security, and immigration are handled seamlessly behind closed doors while you enjoy a glass of champagne. When it’s time to board, a private car takes you directly to the aircraft steps.

For airports without VIP suites, a personal host can ensure a smooth and stress-free experience, fast-tracking queues, handling luggage, and guiding you to your gate. Top-tier lounges elevate pre-flight comfort with à la carte dining, fine wines, spa treatments, and quiet workspaces, turning long layovers or overnight flights into an opportunity to relax and recharge.

Reimagining the journey

The simplest way to enhance any flight is to ask your Travel Counsellor about premium, business, and First-class upgrades. Lie-flat suites with closing doors, restaurant-quality menus, and attentive service turn long-haul flights into a pleasure, with some airlines even offering onboard bars or social spaces for added exclusivity. For ultimate privacy and flexibility, a private jet is unparalleled, allowing you to set your own schedule, fly from convenient airports, and land closer to your destination - perfect for multi-stop itineraries, short, high-impact trips, or milestone celebrations.

And when you arrive at your destination, why endure traffic when you could soar above the coastline in a helicopter or glide across the water on a private yacht? These scenic transfers can save time and add a cinematic touch to your arrival so make sure you check availability when you make an enquiry with your Travel Counsellor.

Turn your villa or suite into a private world

Imagine expansive terraces, private pools, outdoor dining spaces, and even in-villa cinemas or spa rooms. Some resorts and retreats elevate accommodation to an entirely new level, offering these exceptional spaces designed for privacy and comfort. Many of these options also include separate bedrooms for staff or family, with some offering dedicated butler service or a private host to ensure every detail of your stay is perfectly tailored to you, from remembering how you take your coffee to arranging hard-to-get reservations, leaving you free to relax and enjoy every moment.

There is also the possibility in some locations to hire a private chef to look after you during your stay and some resorts provide tailored wellness plans that can be enjoyed without leaving your accommodation; think massages, facials, private yoga sessions, and personal training, while longer stays could feature a tailored wellness plan that includes everything from jet-lag recovery treatments to energy-boosting therapies.

Enjoy private access to the world's most fascinating places

Exceptional travel is about connecting with destinations in a way that feels personal and exclusive. Many tours and cruise itineraries include special extras that make it easy to immerse yourself in a location away from the crowds. Ask your Travel Counsellor about expert-led private tours, where you can explore cities, museums, or historic sites with a leading historian, art specialist, or chef. Imagine walking through an iconic landmark in the quiet of early morning or after it’s closed to the public; these exclusive experiences offer a rare opportunity to connect with iconic sites in a calm, more memorable way.
