Sweden
Endless daylight. Explore Stockholm’s islands by private boat, wander hidden cafés and artisan workshops, and learn to bake cinnamon buns in a local’s kitchen. Celebrate Midsummer with bonfires and maypole dancing under the midnight sun. Beyond the city, venture into rewilding zones where bears, moose, and reindeer roam, or escape to Pater Noster Lighthouse — a remote, design-led retreat overlooking the Baltic. Mirror-still lakes, wild swims, and the quiet pulse of Nordic summer complete a luxury Swedish adventure.
Indonesian Island Hopping
A nation of a thousand moods. Bali; vibrant, spiritual, and endlessly creative — where cool cafés meet ancient temples and lush rice paddies. Spend time in Java for the temple of Borobudur at sunset and jungle hikes through mist-covered hills. Then choose your islands: sail a luxury private charter through Komodo’s turquoise waters in search of dragons and world-class diving, or explore the Spice Islands, where timeworn villages and the scent of nutmeg tell stories of centuries past. For true escapism, Sumba’s wild beaches and exceptional off-grid lodges offer barefoot luxury at its rawest. Indonesia is a multi-island journey of culture, nature, and adventure.
Svalbard
In June at the top of the world, the midnight sun never sets. Sail on a micro-expedition cruise through ice-carved fjords and glacier-lined bays, where polar bears roam and walrus haul out on drifting ice. Spot humpback, minke, and beluga whales, reindeer grazing on green tundra, and Arctic fox darting across the snow patches. June is peak bird season — puffins, guillemots, and Arctic terns crowd the cliffs in a cacophony of wings. Kayak beneath soaring glaciers, trace colourful tundra trails on foot, and meet scientists and explorers in far-flung frontier settlements. Pure light, wildlife, and absolute perspective create an Arctic journey unlike any other.
Catalonia, Spain
Catalan rhythm meets coastal escape. In Barcelona, uncover Gaudí’s masterpieces - from the ever-developing Sagrada Família to the dreamlike curves of Casa Batlló - then see the city through the eyes of our local hosts: markets, ateliers, and late-night tapas bars where real life hums. Journey north to the Costa Brava for rugged coves, olive groves, and the medieval beauty of Girona. Stroll its cobbled Jewish Quarter, gaze at the colourful “hanging houses” over the Onyar River, and indulge in Michelin-starred dining and the city’s exceptional artisan chocolate shops. Step inside Dalí’s autobiographical Theatre-Museum, then end your days at a countryside finca, cooking Catalan classics and sharing stories over wine. Creativity, coastline, and culture — this is Catalonia at its most authentic.

England
London in summer pulses with light and energy. Enjoy insider access to world-class museums, historic palaces, innovative cuisine, and secret gardens. Escape to the Cotswolds, where honey-coloured stone villages, rolling hills, and gentle hikes invite idyllic picnics. Explore Bath’s Georgian streets and Roman baths. Journey north to the Lake District for rugged trails, wild swimming, and star-filled nights.

Turkey
A feast for the senses. In Istanbul, local hosts reveal the city’s vibrant neighbourhoods — from spice markets to secret terraces, rooftop bars, and bustling cafés. With expert private guides, explore the grandeur of Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace, Journey to Cappadocia’s cave hotels and centuries-old underground cities, hiking volcanic landscapes and fairy-tale valleys along the way. Ephesus, Troy, Hierapolis; Turkey has archaeological sites in abundance best discovered alongside an expert historian.
