UNRIVALED RETREATS
AN EXCLUSIVE CURATION OF SPACES AROUND THE GLOBE WHERE, WE FEEL, OUR DESIGNED RETREATS, MULTI-GENERTIONAL REUNIONS AND BOARD MEETINGS, WILL HAVE THE ENVIRONMENT AND SUITE OF EXPERIENCES TO BE.... UNRIVALED.
UNRIVALED SPACES
THESE ARE PLACES WE HAVE COME ACROSS OVER OUR YEARS OF TRAVEL AND HAVE FOUND THROUGH DISCUSSIONS WITH THE VERY MOST THOUGHTFUL AND INTERESTING TRAVEL PROFESSIONALS IN THE BUSINESS. THESE ARE PROPERTIES THAT WE FEEL ARE SO SPECIAL THAT THERE ARE NO OTHER PROPERTIES THAT COULD COALESCE SPACE, POSITION, ENERGY, CULINARY OFFERINGS, AMENITIES, EXPERIENCE PACKAGES AND SERVICE- TO RIVAL THEM.
UNRIVALED EXPERIENCES
WE DESIGN EXPERIENCES THAT BRING AWE AND WONDERMENT TO OUR GUESTS. EXPERIENCES THAT WILL HELP THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE SPACE AND PLACE THEY HAVE TRAVELED TO, BUT ALSO HOW TO UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES BETTER, TO LEARN FROM AN EXPERT IN THEIR FIELD OR TO DIG DEEPLY INTO SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE GEEKING OUT ON. WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO DO OR HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO AND WE WILL TAILOR A DEEPLY INTERESTING AND UNIQUE EXPERIENCE FOR YOU.
UNRIVALED FOOD AND BEVERAGE
OUR FOCUS IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN ELEVATING LOCAL INGREDIENTS FROM LOCAL FARMERS. WE EXPLORE BRIGHT, LIGHT AND INVENTIVE FOODS THAT NOURISH THE SOUL BUT COINCIDE WITH THE GOALS OF THE RETREAT. WE LOVE COOKING CLASSES, FARM DINNERS UNDER BISTRO LIGHTS, INVENTIVE BEACH BARBECUES AND PICNICS UNDER THE STARS.
