The Hive, Costa Rica📍

The Hive is nestled directly on the Pacific Ocean in Peninsula Papagayo, a secluded paradise on Costa Rica’s north coast, serving as a sanctuary for adventure and exploration. It uniquely blends the sophistication of a resort with the charm of a private home, having been designed as a private residence rather than a purposefully-built luxury villa for rent.

Having taken five years from conception to completion, THE HIVE showcases the original owners’ exquisite taste in design, architecture, furnishings, and art. With 6 bedrooms spanning 17,500 sq. ft. (1,625 m²), it comes fully staffed with a manager/concierge, private chef, waitstaff, and housekeeping—ensuring that when you’re here, you truly feel at home.

Designed by the renowned architect Abraham Valenzuela, THE HIVE serves as a gathering place not just for guests but also for design enthusiasts. Over ten countries were explored to source every element, creating a cohesive and rich tapestry of aesthetics. Each corner offers new discoveries, and every sightline unveils a hidden gem, ensuring a unique experience with every visit.

In addition to its stunning architecture, the property features a thoughtfully curated art collection, showcasing works by celebrated artists such as Anna Korber, Julián Voss-Andreae, and Miguel Vallinas Prieto. Among its exceptional amenities, THE HIVE features a state-of-the-art movie theater, a relaxing massage room, a vibrant game room, and an exquisite hammam for indulgent wellness experiences. Guests also enjoy the convenience of a golf cart, making it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings.

Gmundner Lodge, Namibia📍

Designed in deep reverence to Namibia’s inimitable landscape and culture, Gmundner Lodge is a convergence of heritage and contemporary indulgence, existing in harmony with nature to evoke a true sense of adventure and connection.

Nestled between the Kalahari Desert to the east and the Khomas Plateau to the west, Gmundner Lodge lies just south-east of Windhoek. Gmundner Lodge aims to provide travellers with a very special experience in the wilderness of Namibia, in keeping with its “Back to Nature” philosophy.

Set away from the main lodge, the twelve suites reveal a vision of old-world safari splendour cocooned beneath a swath of billowing canvas. Soft leather chairs, rich mahogany furniture, antiques, and artefacts adorn the interior, creating an invitation for leisure and indulgence.

The heart of the lodge is steeped in safari nostalgia, with handcrafted campaign furniture and inviting lounges dotted with antique safari curios, telescopes and binoculars. As night falls, the lodge transforms under the warm glow of flickering lanterns and candlelight to reveal an unimaginably deep onyx sky, dotted with stars. Best viewed from the expansive deck or around the boma fire.

An incomparable African experience coupled with fascinating game viewing, engaging activities, or relaxing pursuits await guests during their stay at Gmundner Lodge.

Stunning landscapes, world-renown game viewing and some of the best examples of South African prehistoric rock art are but a few of the compelling reasons to visit this astonishing country.

Humans have inhabited the lands now known as Namibia since prehistoric times. In Damaraland, bordered on the west by the Namib Desert and the Kalahari Desert on the east, Twyfelfontein is a spectacularly scenic area, featuring one of the largest and most important concentrations of rock art in Africa. The name Twyfelfontein translates to “Fountain of Doubt”, which refers to the perennial spring situated in the impressive Huab valley flanked by the slopes of a sandstone table mountain. It was this spring that attracted Stone Age hunters over six thousand years ago that created an extensive collection of rock engravings and paintings.

Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa, and sits in a natural bowl between the harbour and the unmistakable Table Mountain. The three kilometre wide plateau which gives the mountain its name conceals a network of dams and valleys to explore.

South Africa holidays should always include wildlife and wine. The Constantia Valley is synonymous with the grape and is the oldest wine producing area south of the equator. Farms are nestled together a brief bike ride apart, the soil and aspect of each contributing to the subtle but distinct differences between their produce.

Cape Town’s beautiful working harbour offers some delightful shops and restaurants along the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront and provides the opportunity to take a number of short cruises including to Robben Island. The former prison where Nelson Mandela spent much of his twenty-seven years behind bars is now an open memorial to his struggles and those of his fellow campaigners against apartheid.

Corsica, a stunning French island with a perfect mix of wild mountains, turquoise sea and private beaches. If you like to be outdoors, walk, hike or hit the beach, this is your island.

Corsica may come in a small package but it wields a mighty impact. A wonderfully diverse world-of-its-own, it offers everything from deep, dark woods, to vibrant coastal cities, to magical villages perched high on mountains or sprawled across cliffs. Ceded to the French by the Genoese in 1768, Corsica feels apart from mainland France in many ways, from the island’s Genoese fortresses and Baroque churches, to its distinct language and cuisine that feel more Italian than French.

Activities are as varied as the landscape: museums, churches and castles, to beaches that suit sun seekers and lovers of solitude. The island provides multiple walking trails, including the renowned GR20, one of the longest and toughest walks in Europe.
