Why Work with Us?
Our designers and coordinators don't earn commission. No one on the team makes more by sending a client to one property over another, so the recommendation you get is based solely on who you are and how you love to travel, not a financial incentive. Ask what we think and you'll get our unfiltered opinions.
WE ANSWER TO OUR CLIENTS
Our client files run years deep. What worked on your trip to Botswana will inform how we plan your trip to Mongolia. The room you loved in Provence tells us which one to book for your next trip to Kyoto. Each trip builds on the last.
your file is forever growing
Our itineraries have your driver's name and number, alongside the backup. We've got your dinner reservation on file with your dietary notes already sent. The museum is opening to you before it does to the public because we called. Our clients get to be the guest, not the producer.
WE HAVE THE ANSWER BEFORE YOU HAVE THE QUESTION
Our designers work together to create your itinerary. Our operations team sets it in motion. Our local teams handle everything in country. You benefit from our collective expertise.
OUR FULL TEAM WORKS ON EVERY TRIP
We know which rooms face the water and which month the crowds thin. We also study the psychology of travel and how a trip can change someone. Our itineraries are built not around what's trending, but what will help you experience awe and wonder.
RESEARCH-BACKED TRAVEL
How a Trip is Built
Fill out our Discovery worksheet to schedule your complimentary discovery session.
Discover
Every great trip starts with a conversation. We’ll learn how you like to travel, what you think is worth flying across the world for, and where this trip fits into your life. We’ll give you our advice and lay out how we will work together moving forward.
Design
Now we build. Hotels, guides, pacing, experiences, restaurants, transfers, and the moments that deserve the most room to expand. Every recommendation goes back to your premise for taking the trip.
Prepare
Long before you pack, we’re working behind the scenes. Reservations are confirmed. Partners are briefed. The small details are already handled so you can arrive fully present. We'll secure the special requests and perks, and send you a few surprises along the way.
Experience
Now it’s your turn. Stay for another coffee. Take the slower route home. Order dessert. We’ll keep everything moving smoothly in the background while you enjoy the trip you came for. And hey, remember to send us a few snapshots along the way.
Share
We want to learn from every journey you take. Tell us what surprised you, what became the highlight, and where you’re curious to go next. This regular feedback loop allows us to provide the excellent long-term service you deserve from a trusted advisor.
Remind
Our clients are busy, and the best places book out early. If you take a spring break trip every year, we'll be in touch long before you'd have thought about it, while the rooms and the guides you want are still open
Services & Fees
What We offer
VILLA SEARCH
We work with villa management companies who only work with vetted prospects, not the general public. The properties are thoroughly inspected and geared toward the luxury traveler. We narrow the field to what fits your group and your budget, book it, and introduce you to the house concierge. Once a villa is selected, we can also upgrade to full trip design if you need.
$750
Our signature service covers all the nuts and bolts of designing and executing a beautiful trip. Fees for this service are based on the length of trip and number of travelers.
Larger groups and corporate retreats quoted seperately.
FULL TRIP DESIGN
$800 per 1-7 days of travel
Each additional 1-7 days is an additional $800. Each additional traveler over 5 is $50/week.
CONCIERGE SERVICES
Restaurant reservations, spa treatments, hair appointments, babysitters. Most clients or their assistants book these directly so they can move things around on the fly. If needed, we’re happy to take this off your plate.
$50 per booking
AIRFARE
Our air desk books and manages your flights, with a line you can call any hour while you're traveling. When a connection falls apart at 6am, they fix it while you're having breakfast. Private aviation, when applicable, is covered by your trip planning fee.
$75 - Business or First Class
$100 - Economy
CRUISE PLANNING
With all the options ranging from type of ship to routes to cabin types, we start by narrowing. Category first, then ship, then sailing date, then cabin.
Large ocean ships cover distance in comfort. Expedition vessels are small and built for landings where there is no dock. Yachts enter harbors the big ships cannot. River boats sit shallow and tie up in the center of town, so you walk off into the city.
A week at sea involves a lot of time on shore. We can assist with private guides, a car waiting when you walk off, and lunch somewhere the rest of the ship will be jealous of.

YACHT SEARCH
We’ll help you narrow down a fabulous destination, select a vetted, professionally managed crew and yacht, work through the contract with you, and get you out to sea. For pre and post trip arrangements, full trip design fees apply.
HOTEL SHORTLIST AND BOOKING
You know the general destination but want our expertise to help select the right hotel for you. We pull three options we know will be a good fit for you, price them out, and book the one you choose. Same amenities, same VIP treatment.
$200 per destination
HOTEL ONLY BOOKING
Complimentary
You know the hotel you want. We book it, attach our perks, and send your preferences ahead so the front desk already knows about the feather allergy. We partner with most luxury hotels around the world and our perks usually include $100 hotel credit, free breakfast, and first in line for room upgrades when available.
[ How Hotel Booking Works ↗ ]
Yes, we do! The air desk we work with is fantastic at advising which routes and airlines have the best/most updated cabins and most comfortable business class seats. They also provide 24/7 service and a dedicated number to call if something should go wrong. If you’re looking for the best routings and best cabins, plus additional “done for you” service - book your flights through us. If you prefer to use points or want to look for the lowest cost option, you’re welcome to book your flights directly.
Do you book flights?
When you’re on a fully planned trip with us, you’ll have an emergency contact number to use that goes to our partners on the ground in each country. In some destinations you’ll also have a whatsapp group with our local partners so you can chat with them to make minor changes on the fly. Of course we are available during our typical business hours and on weekends for true emergencies.
What happens if something goes wrong?
This truly depends on the destination and time of year. Galapagos over Christmas should be looked at 18 months in advance, but a hotel only booking in Mexico in June can probably be done the week before. It’s our job to know availability trends, and yours to tell us what you have on your radar in the next 18 months. Then we’ll set up reminders on our end so you’re never late to planning a trip again.
How far ahead should we start?
When we book your air and hotels, we are happy to include your loyalty numbers, allowing you to earn points and miles. However, we do not book hotels or air with points. We are more than happy for you to book your air with points on a trip we plan for you, but we don’t work on “activity only” trips without making the associated hotel booking.
Additionally, while we are happy to book properties that align with your brand loyalty when they make sense, we prefer to have the flexibility to advise on the best property for your interests and style when your brand loyal hotel is not the best option. We truly believe the hotel is the vessel through which you experience a trip and want to make sure it’s as high quality as everything else we’re selecting for you.
Can you work with our points and status?
Please know that while we will hit your budget in the proposal, it is industry standard to provide trip costs in aggregate. Most of our best partners do not break down the cost per service as the rates are contracted and proprietary per their contracts (i.e. they are not allowed to share rate breakdowns). Hotels will be bundled in at rack rate or less (meaning they are not marked up from what you’d find online) and activities are bundled in at retail. Working with these amazing partners around the world is how we are able to provide proprietary experiences that you may not be able to find online. If you require a price breakdown, please let us know before we start planning so we can discuss whether or not we can accommodate.
Do you break out pricing?
On all our full trip itineraries, we are happy to provide you with restaurant recommendations in your destination. We source these from our partners on the ground and they’re always being updated. If you’d prefer for us to book the restaurants for you, we’ll need a credit card on file for confirming reservations and will charge a separate personal concierge fee.
