Argentina Northwest
Almost no one goes, and that’s rather the point
Travel to the Moon, or maybe Mars? A remote, almost surreal plateau. Experience endless spaces, colorful mountains, high-altitude lagoons, salt flats, volcanoes, and villages suspended in time. Half no-frills, half luxury. A journey where the landscape is the experience and silence keeps you company—unexpectedly turning into glamour, wine, and the art of James Turrell. One of the trips of a lifetime.
Sulawesi
25 years and nothing has changed
The Tana Toraja still perform the same ancestral rituals, surrounded by lush rice terraces and limestone hills. Witness elaborate funeral ceremonies, buffalo markets, and villages of soaring boat-shaped roofs unchanged for generations. Combine it with the Bunaken dive sites, or with travels through other parts of Indonesia.
Top End
The top of Down Under
Northwest Australia is one of the world’s last great untouched expanses, defined by dramatic coastlines, red earth, deep canyons, and vast open seas. From the marine wonders of Ningaloo to the rugged gorges of the Kimberley and Darwin’s iconic sunsets, this is the true “Top End.”
Yunnan
A picture-perfect destination where youth culture meets heritage
One of the most mesmerizing regions in China. We love its mosaic of cultures, mountain vistas, rice terraces, and heritage villages — also perfect for experiencing China’s modern youth culture in “Dalifornia.” From Kunming’s scenic lake and bustling flower market to the high-altitude temples of Shangri-La, travel while discovering boutique luxury accommodations and spectacular cuisine.
Abruzzo
An Italian gem with no over-tourism (yet)
An incredible concentration of medieval architecture, moonlike mountain landscapes, and picturesque perched hilltop villages. L’Aquila will win your hearts with her reborn beauty. And… you’d never expect to find trabocchi with gourmet dining suspended over the Adriatic Sea.
Mount Koya
It is also about the journey…
A night in a working monastery among the cedars — shōjin ryōri by candlelight, dawn prayers, and a lantern-lit path through the oldest graves in Japan. Continue onward through the temple towns of Kansai, or experience art in Naoshima.
Saudi Arabia
Unexpected: art, desert, and change
“Classic” AlUla, with its Nabatean temples carved into rose sandstone, often transforms into an open-air stage for contemporary art installations and cultural events. For a complete experience, pair it with a brief stay in Jeddah (don’t miss the fish market) or travel along the ancient trade routes from Riyadh to Tabuk. And why not dive into the Red Sea?
South Luangwa National Park
Have you seen it all?
Enjoy a safari in one of Africa’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries, an area still untouched by the crowds. Walking safaris — pioneered right here — reveal leopards, wild dogs, and vast elephant herds along the Luangwa River, all experienced from intimate bush camps run by some of the continent’s most passionate guides.
Rio de Janeiro
More than a postcard
Celebrate the joy of life. Forget the Selarón Steps and the over-touristic Pão de Açúcar… Rio is cycling and ceviche in Ipanema, bossa nova rhythms, and cultural discoveries — from the Museu do Amanhã and the MAM to the MIS, through a taste of modernist architecture. And if you have time, add a detour to chic Paraty.
Silk Road: Navruz Festival
Where the Persian new year paints the Silk Road
There is no better time to experience Uzbekistan than during Navruz, the traditional spring festival, as the country unfolds its rich heritage, vivid colors, and festive celebrations throughout its iconic Silk Road cities. Visit Uzbekistan or the Xinjiang region, from Xi’an to Kashgar, to understand history and explore traditions, colors, and landmarks along the Silk Road.
Kauai
The island time forgot
Forget Maui and head to the garden island. The Nā Pali Coast and the Waimea Canyon will blow you away. Kayak the Wailua River, hike to hidden waterfalls, or simply watch the sunset from a quiet, undeveloped beach — Kauai remains Hawaii at its wildest and most authentic.
Cairo, Siwa & White Desert
Simply Majestic
From Cairo to the surreal majesty of the White Desert, through the remote Siwa Oasis, experience an unexpected Egypt where timeless icons meet otherworldly landscapes. Explore the breathtaking GEM, the legendary Pyramids of Giza, and the hidden gem of Dahshur while enjoying luxury boutique accommodations in the capital. Then journey through the White Desert and complete your trip with a tropical-like seaside stay close to Alex.
