Emerald tea terraces rolling across highland hills
East Africa

Rwanda

A thousand green hills and the gaze of a silverback.

Rwanda pairs the mountain gorillas of Volcanoes National Park with tea-green hills, the inland sea of Lake Kivu and a capital reinventing itself by the year. Small, seamless and quietly luxurious, it is Africa's most effortless wild country.

Jun – Sep (dry trekking season)
black gorilla on green grass during daytime
East Africa

Uganda

Gorillas, chimpanzees and the source of the Nile.

Uganda folds mountain gorillas, forest chimpanzees and the thunder of Murchison Falls into one deeply green country. It is East Africa at its wildest and most generous, walked rather than watched.

Jun – Sep (dry trekking season)
Lions resting on the African savannah
East Africa

Kenya

The original safari, still without equal.

The Masai Mara's river crossings, elephants beneath Kilimanjaro in Amboseli and the private conservancies of Laikipia make Kenya the safari against which all others are measured. Beyond the plains lie the Rift Valley lakes and the old Swahili coast at Lamu.

Jul – Oct (migration river crossings)
A lone acacia tree on the African savannah at golden hour
East Africa

Tanzania

Endless plains, the crater and an island of spice.

From the migration-swept Serengeti and the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater to the spice-scented lanes of Zanzibar, Tanzania holds the full arc of East Africa in one country. It is safari at its purest, with an Indian Ocean ending built in.

Jun – Oct (dry season, migration)
Granite boulders and turquoise water in the Seychelles
Indian Ocean

Seychelles

Granite islands and impossibly clear water.

An archipelago of 115 islands where ancient granite boulders frame powder-white beaches and turquoise lagoons. Private-island sanctuaries, world-class diving and giant tortoises make the Seychelles the definition of a barefoot-luxury escape.

Apr – May & Oct – Nov (calm seas)
Overwater villas above a turquoise lagoon
Islands of the World

Maldives & Bora Bora

The original overwater dream, twice over.

Two icons of island luxury on opposite sides of the world. Glass-floored overwater villas above the Maldivian atolls; the dramatic volcanic lagoon of Bora Bora in French Polynesia. House reefs, private butlers and sunsets that defy description.

Nov – Apr (Maldives) · May – Oct (Bora Bora)
The Taj Mahal at dawn
South Asia

India

A thousand journeys within one country.

From the marble perfection of the Taj Mahal to the painted palaces of Rajasthan, the backwaters of Kerala and the spice-scented south — India overwhelms the senses and rewards the curious. Travel by heritage train and stay in restored maharaja palaces.

Oct – Mar (cool, dry season)
Kyoto temple among autumn foliage, Japan
East Asia

Japan

Ancient ceremony, hyper-modern precision, and ethereal natural beauty.

Japan is the world’s most perfectly curated destination. A country that somehow exists in multiple centuries simultaneously — where centuries-old temple rituals and ryokan hospitality coexist with bullet trains and Michelin-starred tasting menus. Kyoto’s geisha districts and bamboo groves represent one of the most refined cultural experiences available to the traveller. Tokyo is a sensory universe. And the Japanese Alps, particularly in cherry blossom season or beneath a winter snow canvas, are otherworldly.

March – May (sakura), Oct – Nov
Hot air balloons drifting over Cappadocia at sunrise
Anatolia

Turkey & Cappadocia

Where continents and millennia meet.

Drift over the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia in a dawn balloon, wander the bazaars and palaces of Istanbul where Europe meets Asia, and unwind in cave hotels carved from soft volcanic rock. Turkey layers Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman wonders into a single, spellbinding journey.

Apr – Jun & Sep – Oct
European coastline at golden hour
The Old World

Europe

Historic grandeur, Alpine escapes and the Riviera.

From the Amalfi Coast and the Greek isles to the chateaux of the Loire and the peaks of the Alps, Europe is a continent of effortless variety. Private guided access to its galleries and palaces, Michelin tables and grand hotels — the classic luxury journey, reimagined for those who’ve seen the postcards and want the real thing.

May – Jun & Sep (shoulder season)
Dubai skyline with the Burj Khalifa
Arabian Gulf

United Arab Emirates

Desert luxury and futuristic skylines.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi turn the impossible into the everyday — the world’s tallest tower, indoor ski slopes and seven-star service beside vast golden dunes. Pair city spectacle with a private desert camp under the stars and a dhow cruise along the coast.

Nov – Mar (cooler months)
Granite peaks of Torres del Paine, Patagonia
The Far South

Patagonia & Antarctica

Thin air, impossible beauty, where rivers meet sky.

The end of the world, in the grandest sense. Hike beneath the granite spires of Torres del Paine, then sail the Drake Passage to the white continent itself — calving glaciers, penguin colonies and an immensity of ice and silence found nowhere else on Earth.

Nov – Mar (austral summer)
