Reopening on June 1, Shou Sugi Ban House, located just two hours 🚗 outside of #NewYorkCity in the #Hamptons, defines itself as discreetly luxurious with an aesthetic inspired by the Japanese ⛩ principles of #wabisabi - a 🌏 view focused on the beauty 💅🏼 of transience and imperfection. This thirteen-room retreat values healing properties found in the natural world, and upon arrival, you'll instantly be transported into a tranquil 💆🏻‍♀️ environment, and will depart feeling wholly rejuvenated 🧖🏽‍♂️ in both mind and body 🧘🏽‍♀️. This getaway encourages you to return to the simplicity of self: a lesson we feel the universe is urging us to learn.

Travel brings us new perspectives, but all the more so when we can discover its beauty from the sky. There is nothing quite as awe-inspiring as seeing a destination from such great heights - peaks become intricate patterns, rivers wind through valleys like ribbons, and migrating wildebeest appear as speckled paint across the Masai Mara. We’ve selected a few ways to experience a bird’s eye view, from private jet itineraries to a few hours in a helicopter. If these glimpses into travel inspire you to arrange your next luxury vacation, we’d be delighted to assist you with as many details as you'd like.

Prepare for an Epic Sea Change for our oceans in honor of Richard Branson's birthday. You’ll be setting sail from vibrant Miami to Key West with an extended stay at The Beach Club at Bimini — all with Richard on board. Turquoise water, secluded beaches, legendary Virgin celebrations, and opportunities to do good — but that's about as much as Virgin can say right now. Arriving at 8 am in Key West and leaving at 7 pm, you'll have plenty of time to explore the shops on Duval street, visit Hemingway’s house and snorkel in the famed coral reefs.

If you like shiny new things and the glittering skylines of iconic destinations, you may also enjoy this selection of some of 2020's highly anticipated luxury hotel openings. We've rounded up a handful of soon-to-open city properties that are just gleaming with stunning design concepts, local experiences, and modern fixtures. Whether you can see yourself taking an urban escape with five-star pampering, or simply would like unparalleled travel expertise and connections for your next getaway, please feel free to reach out. It is always a delight to hear from you.
