🥦🥑🍤🦐🥕🥥 Our guests take a great deal away from our Escapes but one thing we really like to give them is an ability to reproduce some of the delicious local dishes they have experienced. Therefore on every Escape our local expert chefs delivery a fun packed flavoursome cookery class. Fresh, locally sourced produce gives a taste of the country. We don’t believe in pills, potions or fad diets. We feel travel is about experiencing the country with every sense and taste is one of the most significant to anyone’s enjoyment of their trip. What’s more having a recipe or two to relive those memories when you’re back at home is all important. 😋

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s never been more essential to make an investment in ourselves. Yoga has the power to bring control, calmness and openness, and its benefits go beyond the mat to make everyday life flow more easily.
•
On one of our Escapes you could find yourself practicing yoga at the top of a mountain overlooking the Mont Blanc massif, as the sun rises up from the Indian Ocean or on your private deck overlooking the Norwegian fjords. Wherever the escape there will be a inspirational view for you to take in as you flow freely on your mat. Sunrise morning flow will be followed by evening candlelit yin and meditation to leave you feeling a deeper connection between body, mind and soul.

⛰🧗♀️💦🧗🏻♂️⛰Following on from our series ‘adventure’ posts from last week. Have a look at how much fun our guests had in Bali this year. For many of them canyoning would never have been on their holiday hit list. It challenged them, pushed their limits and actually allowed them to discover the stunningly beautiful interior of the island.
One of the key benefits of pursuing adventures is that it can mean such different things to different people but what it always does is allow us to interact with our environment.
•

How good do you feel after exercise? Some people refer to it as the runner’s high due to its long association with the feeling of euphoria and pain relief post run. Actually any high-intensity aerobic activity will trigger it.
•
It’s these same endorphins that are secreted when someone drinks alcohol or takes drugs, just without the kebab cravings and lust to dance half naked with glow sticks in one’s teeth!
•
Our aim is not to specifically ‘train’ our guests for an increase in performance or even weight managment. They may well be a helpful byproduct of a week with us but it is not our soul aim. We don’t agree with the ‘boot camp’ or ‘drop a dress size’ type retreats. Things that really have long term returns are the habits that you build throughout the rest of your year. The training at 6:30 in your local gym or the morning run in the darkness of winter. It’s this time where the real work happens and lives are changed. You need to find the activity, the place and the people that motivate you the most and stick to it.
•
We are all about giving you the finest 7 day holiday without parallel. A feast for your mind, body and soul. We do this by understanding how your experiences cause a biochemical reaction that translate into short and long term happiness.
•
Put simply we help you release the endorphins that give you that high so when you recline on a sun lounger, watching the sunset over the ocean with a cocktail in hand, it feels all the more special.

Why yoga? Let’s ask one of our founders, Gemma:
“Through yoga, I’m able to harness a sense of calmness, stillness and balance, and find the space and freedom I need not only in body but also in mind.
I’m passionate about sharing this experience and introducing this new-found sensation of freedom to people. I believe helping others develop a sense of wellbeing and an awareness of their body, mind and spirit can bring inner strength and help them overcome any personal barriers.”

‘Luxury’ - the most over used adjective in the travel industry and we are guilty of using it too.
•
What does luxury mean to us, and we hope our guests? To answer that we have to look our origin story.
•
For a great many years years our founders have looked after the needs of the ultra wealthy on their travels around the world. The billionaires, the oligarchs and the famous. Recently Buddy and Gemma have witnessed a shift in this group’s travel habits. Less concerned about luxury purchases and more about the experiential aspect of a trip. Yes they still have their half billion dollar yachts but they are really concerned about the memories they will foster when they travel. The are seeing value in the richness, sumptuousness of the journey.
•
They will always stay in opulent accommodation but it will be off the beaten track, away from the regular status riddled over priced hotspots. Culture, nature, wellness, adventure, tailor-made, personal and off the beaten track seem to be the popular keywords within a brief.
•
Buddy & Gemma then began to realise that these are exactly the same desires we all have and why should this only be accessible to the few.
•
So we try to deliver these elements, exactly the same level of attentiveness, flexibility and experience on our group Escapes as we would to any of our ultra high net worths clients. As cliche as it sounds, all our guests are worthy of that ‘Luxury’ life! Why should the billionaires have all the fun!!!!!!!

Adventure - it can mean such different things to different people. It doesn’t always have to be extreme and death defying.
We would define an adventure as an endeavour that interacts with the environment, ideally a journey that challenges oneself which in turn leaves a profound mark.
•
We use a fun and simple way to categorise our adventures;
•
Type 1 Adventures - these are experiences that are fun at the time and you remember them fondly. This might be leaning a new skill like surfing. @the.natural.edge is killing it here.
•
Type 2 Adventures - now this is where things get interesting. These are Adventures that are horrible at the time but when the wounds have healed, the aches and pains have subsided, you look back on the experience with great pleasure. Physical suffering usually plays a part in such adventures. Our psyche has a great way of only remembering the pleasure in most of these experiences. Suffering is good for us, we don’t do enough of it. High altitude mountaineering is a good example of type 2 fun! Sorry @elitehimalayanadventures 🙊🏔
•
Lastly Type 3 Adventures - these are neither fun at the time or afterwards. They usually involve falling a long way, getting buried in snow or being detained at a Central American boarder post (story for another post 😬).
•
At Fifth Element we like to keep firmly in the Type 1/2 bracket!!!!!!
