Hawaii feels like a reset button, and Sensei Lānaʻi takes that to a whole new level. This retreat is all about you—custom spa treatments, private fitness sessions, and wellness programs that truly deliver. Beyond the spa, you can explore the island or enjoy fresh, locally inspired dishes that are as nourishing as they are delicious.

Insider Tip: Ask me to arrange a guided meditation at sunrise or a private culinary experience—both are musts for an incredible stay.

Italy continues to be a dream destination year after year. If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend booking early—and I’ve got the inside track on the best places to stay (and yes, some even have rooftop pools!).

One honorable mention: Anantara Palazzo Naiadi! This 19th-century marble palace on Piazza della Repubblica has it all: spacious rooms with high ceilings, a rooftop pool (a rarity in Rome!), and incredible views. With iconic landmarks like the Trevi Fountain and Colosseum just a short walk away, it’s the perfect base for exploring.

Anyone can visit Sicily—but I’ll help you experience it. With insider access to places like Villa Sant’Andrea, my clients enjoy perks and personal touches no online booking site can provide.

Wake up to ocean views at Villa Sant’Andrea in Taormina, dine at Michelin-starred restaurants or rustic osterias, explore vineyards on Mount Etna, or spend the day boating along Sicily’s stunning coastline.

When you work with me, you’re getting so much more than a vacation—you’re getting an adventure designed just for you. Let’s plan your perfect Sicilian escape.

Thinking about visiting a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2025? These aren’t just places you visit—they’re stories of culture, history, and humanity. And with me, you won’t just check them off a list—you’ll experience them in ways most travelers can’t.

I’ll arrange private guides, secure visits during quieter times, and customize every detail to turn your trip into something unforgettable.

Which UNESCO site do you want to explore? Let’s make this the year you get to experience it, with none of the stress and all the magic.

When you think of Tuscany, wine and pasta probably come to mind first. But here's a secret: it's also one of Europe's best wellness destinations!

The region is dotted with amazing natural hot springs where you can soak in healing, mineral-rich waters. Relax with spa treatments inspired by local herbs and flowers, start your mornings with yoga under olive trees, or take peaceful walks through Chianti's vineyards that feel more like exploring than exercise. Plus, you can join cooking classes to learn all about making healthy (and delicious) Tuscan dishes.

Belmond's classic river cruises are one of the best ways to explore Europe—here's why I love them:

Small Ships, VIP Experience: Belmond's ships are designed to make you feel like a VIP from the moment you step on board. With fewer guests, you'll enjoy spacious cabins and exclusive access to areas larger ships can't reach.

Unique Itineraries & Private Excursions: Belmond's cruises feature curated itineraries that take you beyond the standard tourist spots: private vineyard tours in Burgundy to exclusive guided walks through medieval Austrian towns.

Gourmet Dining: Dine on regional specialties as you sail through some of Europe's most culinary-rich areas. Enjoy French cuisine on the Rhône, local wines in Tuscany, or discover the regional dishes of Central Europe along the Danube—all with impeccable service.

Morning volcano hikes and afternoon snorkeling with sea lions? Yes, please! That's just a typical day at Pikaia Lodge in the Galápagos Islands. This eco-luxury lodge sits on top of an ancient volcanic crater, giving you the perfect home base for exploring one of Earth's most adventurous destinations.

The best part? You get to explore by land and sea. Hop on their private yacht to discover different islands, hike volcanic trails that look like another planet, and visit the legendary giant tortoises. After all the adventures, your spacious ocean-view room is just the retreat you need.

Insider Tip: Don't skip the educational programs - they bring the islands' unique wildlife and conservation story to life in ways that captivate both kids and adults.

The Cyclades are stealing the spotlight in 2025, and the iconic Mykonos Blu Hotel (reopening this May) is the perfect spot to soak up this must-visit destination.

I can book you a VIP trip to experience this Greek island paradise. Their Island Bungalows offer unbelievable views, and I love recommending special touches like the Floating Breakfast - served right in your private villa's pool.

Another insider tip? Let me arrange for the hotel's signature 6-hour private driving tour. It's a great way to explore the island!
