Destinations Worth the Wait: Journeying Towards Unforgettable Adventures

There are certain destinations on our precious planet whose names evoke an immediate sense of wonder and intrigue. Wild places that perhaps you have yearned to visit but couldn’t commit to, as they were deemed too far, too complicated, or too arduous. While they may take slightly longer to journey to, our travelling spirits are awakened once you finally arrive, and will be rewarded by a distinctive, palpable beauty that is found nowhere else in the world. Their reputations are known as the last safe havens with vast terrain that is largely untouched, whose natural environment is fiercely protected by its people. So when someone asks where you’re planning to travel next, just choose one of the most exceptional places below and watch their faces light up with awe and envy

Galapagos Evolution's Playground

Follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin and broaden your mind as you tick off the 56 (!) native bird species that are endemic to the Galapagos, such as the finches and flightless cormorants. Snorkel alongside marine iguanas and sea lions, spot bottle-nosed dolphins racing alongside your boat, and meet the Galapagos penguins, one of the smallest in the world. There are a range of itineraries that cater to naturalists, active adventurers, or geologists. On Silversea, Silver Origin expedition, stay in Oceanview suites with teak verandas, indulge in fine dining, and learn from expert guides when ‘uncovering the secrets of this unique living museum.

Greenland The Arctic's Untamed Beauty

With the second-largest ice sheet in the world after Antarctica, the lowest population density with just 56,661 people, the purest air and water in the world, more boats than cars, and Sled dogs largely used as transportation during the winter, Greenland is a fantastic treat for those who make the journey. Arriving by boat through the Ilulissat Icefiord and perched on the edge of the cliffs, staying in a bungalow at Ilimanaq Lodge is a genuine insight into life on a Greenlandic settlement, just 300 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. Only open from mid-June to mid-September, sustainability is taken very seriously here, the pace of life slows down significantly, and the midnight sun is worshipped when you live this far North.

Namibia Land of Contrasts & Wonders

For silence and solitude seekers, Namibia will exceed your expectations and enrich your perception of true wilderness. Boasting desert landscapes visually similar to Mars, with free roaming wildlife that thrives in wild areas, the breathtaking splendour of this land must be seen to be believed. Soar above the endless landscapes by helicopter or hot-air balloon, traverse rocky outcrops and sip sundowners across the infinite horizon. In the depth of the secluded desert nights come stellar stargazing, so take advantage of andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge’s state-of-the-art Celestron Telescope and surrender to the enormity of the universe from this tiny speck on where we stand. Staying in stone and glass suites with plunge pools, retractable skylights, a fireplace and a glass-encased rain shower, you’ll feel eons away from home.

Patagonia Where Nature's Majesty Unfolds

This remote region, shared by Southern Chile and Argentina, is visually spectacular and highly protected, with over 2500 plant species and 500 animals awaiting your discovery. The undeniable power of ice and wind has shaped this environment, a place where you feel the enormity of the elements. Staying in one of 14 spacious stand-alone villas at Awasi Patagonia, the interiors are rustic and refined, filled with natural light, and blessed with direct views to the enigmatic Torres del Paine. Everything is privatised to your liking, so whether you feel like horse-riding, puma or condor tracking, dining at a magnificent viewpoint or trekking to your heart’s delight – the enlightened days spent here will be unforgettable

Bhutan Tradition Meets Tranquillity

Renowned for the country’s pursuit of wellbeing and happiness, Bhutan has beautifully retained its cultural heritage which you’ll witness in their grandiose dzongs, otherworldly festivals, and intricate weaving artisans. Travelling through this country is a soulful and scenic delight, which harkens back to a simpler time without the escalation of technology or globalisation. Alas, nothing is sacred, so we advise arriving soon to see this unspoilt beauty firsthand. Six Senses Paro Lodge sits atop the valley with stunning mountain views, dining amongst stone ruins, and at walking distance to Samtenling Monastery to light butter lamps for blessings. Just wait till you see their pool and sauna

Rwanda Land of a Thousand Hills

The prospect of encountering majestic mountain gorillas up close and personal is reason enough to visit Volcanoes National Park. Offering a glimpse into their strong family bonds, personalities and behaviours, this is a transformative opportunity that will no doubt alter your connection to our relatives. One&Only Gorilla’s Nest has a coveted position tucked within the rainforest, where you’ll nest in immersive treehouses amidst a thriving ecosystem of fragrant roses and towering eucalyptus trees.
