Seeking Starshine and Aurora Borealis

As night falls and the mysteries of our universe reveal themselves, we turn our heads towards the vast skies and stand in awe of its grandeur. Whether you’re a budding stargazer or an experienced astrophile, opportunities for stargazing and witnessing the Northern Lights phenomenon in all its glory are waiting to be discovered.

Take part in this ancient wisdom and storytelling that will capture your attention and spark your imagination, no matter the age.

OCTOLA Private Wilderness - Lapland, Finland

Chasing the Aurora Borealis can be an elusive activity, whose hunt is successful based on solar flares and a little bit of luck. As the particles reach Earth, magical shades dance and hang mystically in the sky; in the remote wilderness of Lapland, Octola’s secluded lodge at the Arctic Circle is the best location to spot this phenomenon from September to early April, where you’ll feel totally one with Nature.

Nayara Alto Atacama - Atacama Desert, Chile

The Atacama desert is a wild, windswept and dreamy corner of the Earth, where their lunar-like landscapes and dazzling night skies are simply otherworldly and shrouded in silence. Positioned at high altitude and devoid of light pollution, seek shelter in Nayara‘s Ckepi Observatory as you feast upon an ‘endless expanse’ of nebulae, moon craters, and possibly supernovae from December to March.

ÀNI PRIVATE RESORTS

We love ÀNI private resorts and the way they make it easy to arrange a luxury, all-inclusive* group stay. Established in 2010 ÀNI – the word is Swahili for “the journey ahead” – pours its close attention into truly beautiful and secluded estates that can be booked exclusively for you and your family and/or friends. The whole place, with no-one else there except the special people you choose, and amazing staff to indulge you…

ÀNI Anguilla

This wonderful island, the most northern of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean, is a short hop from Miami, and you’ll search long and hard for anywhere with better sandy white beaches – they stretch for miles and miles. The ÀNI resort here sits on an amazing clifftop above Little Bay, and there’s room for parties of between six and 20 in what could be accurately termed “commanding privacy”. Half-board dining and an amazing number of activities are included; there’s a host of energetic or cultural things to do, from water sports including amazing diving, to day-long exploration adventures, plus a lovely on-site spa.

ÀNI Dominican Republic

Claiming its own private peninsula on the Dominican Republic’s north coast, this private resort nestles in manicured gardens with breathtaking, 270-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and direct access to a sandy bay known as La Piscina Natural. It’s the birthplace of kite-surfing, so a natural magnet for watersport fanatics. There’s room for a party of a maximum 28 people, so you’ll never be jostled for an ocean view – whether it’s to watch the sun rise or see it set. As ever with ÀNI, the plentiful staff are anxious to please your whole party, whether that’s working with you on special dinners, organising cultural events, or coming up with inventive ways to keep children happy.

ÀNI Sri Lanka

A sweeping beachfront estate on five verdant acres of Sri Lanka’s south coast, this private resort set above a palm-fringed beach near Dickwella can accommodate up to 30 guests across 15 exceptional suites. They all overlook their own, vast infinity pools and the sea on either side of a lush lawn. The impeccable service is delivered by a 30-strong team, so close personal attention is guaranteed. The region is known for its teeming wildlife; you can marvel at the local reserves and national parks or enjoy the nature surrounding the resort in the local villages, rice paddies and cinnamon plantation. It’s pure bliss in the Indian Ocean.

ÀNI Thailand

You’ll find this paradise on Koh Yao Noi, with empty beaches, protected mangroves, fishing villages and picturesque rice paddies spread over 19 square miles. It’s a sanctuary for wildlife, including rare hornbills, sea otters and green turtles. With astounding ocean-front views from the spacious villas, there’s room for 20 guests; from personal fitness training and kids’ activities to Thai dance shows and guided cycling tours, there’s loads for everyone to do, even though you’re 30 minutes from the mainland. All food and drinks are included, and there’s all-day butler service on the beach. And if you seek pure reinvigoration then you can lose yourself in a daily spa routine of up to 10 treatments.

Staying local in the UK

Often, when we think “holiday”, we think “jet-set to another country”. With the pound at a slump, now is the perfect time to explore whats here in the United Kingdom. With rolling hills, beaches that make you think you’re in the Med, and an abundance of gorgeous walks and lakes, you’ll be hard-pressed to not find something to do or see. Pack up the car, hit the road and discover this wonderful country.

The Newt

Somerset, England

The Newt’s core is Georgian, with limestone buildings the colour of burnt honey, the seat of the Hobhouse family for more than two centuries. Hadspen and the Farmyard nestle quietly amongst orchards, lakes and woodland that reflect the love lavished upon them over the past 300 years.

The main house was built in the 17th century, then remodelled in Georgian times. Capturing the essence of a Georgian family home, its restrained, classical beauty is offset by playful design; while the original working Stable Yard has been transformed into sophisticated accommodation, retaining characteristics harking back to its equestrian past.

The Farmyard is just beyond the cyder orchards, half a mile from Hadspen as the crow flies, this former dairy farm is a place to spread out and lean back, cheek-to-rosy-cheek with grazing livestock and sheltering oaks. Original farm buildings, with a delightfully golden patina, are home to rooms, a pool, bar, snug and all-day kitchen. Complimentary drinks are available at the Garner Bar, while bikes and buggies provide ample opportunity for pootling over to the gardens and spa at Hadspen.

Berkshire, England

Behind its stately facade, Cliveden House hides a checkered past. Built 350 years ago for the Duke of Buckingham’s mistress and backdrop for the scandalous Profumo affair, this sprawling 48-room estate – set upon 376 National Trust-designated acres – has fostered the illustrious and the illicit. It cultivates a cultured stay with antique furnishings, period artworks, four-poster beds, and fireplaces; the meticulously tended grounds include a maze and the celebrated parterre.

Heckfield Place

Hook, England

Heckfield Place could be the setting for a Jane Austen novel – the author lived in nearby Chawton. Inside this 45-room Georgian family home, however, lies a reimagined Hampshire retreat that makes ample use of local materials, such as English oak furnishings and handwoven rugs made of rushes from the River Ouse.

Coworth Park

Hampshire, England

Coworth Park is located next to Windsor Great Park, near Ascot. It sits in 240 acres of meadow, which, in summer, offer up a hazy carpet of yellow, lavender and pink wild flowers. The house was built in 1776 and its many incarnations throughout history have included an all-girls school and the home of Lords and Ladies.

Today its look is modern-day country house – the 17th-century mansion and polo estate has been treated to an intelligent and eco-friendly modern makeover that’s given it three restaurants (including one with a Michelin star), a spectacular spa and an air of quietly confident grandeur.

The spa sits in timber and glass building, topped with a ‘living roof’ of thyme and lavender and set into the side of a hill. Facilities include a blue-lit pool with underwater music, steam rooms, mood showers and a gym. There are eight light-filled treatment rooms.

Exclusive Diamond Club Amenities when booking with us:

Guaranteed one category Upgrade at the time of booking

Travel As A Force For Good

We are a proud member of The Conscious Travel Foundation which is a global community, uniting members of the travel industry to reshape the impact of tourism on the world. We believe in the power of education and collaboration to fuel a shift in industry practice, igniting change and safeguarding the planet for future generations.

Whilst it can be seen the devastating effects of the climate change on our world, we are hopeful that going forward travel can still provide a positive impact on communities around the planet.

There are many inspiring stories from properties looking to make the changes necessary in order to preserve what we have. The resilience of communities ad habitats across the world is a sign that we can do better, and we must all learn how we can do things ourselves in order to best protect our future generations.

Below are some of the inspiring stories from some properties from across the world.

The Lodge at Blue Sky

United States

The team at Blue Sky believes in being genuine stewards of the earth, taking every opportunity to be kind to the planet. Explore the ways in which we craft the Blue Sky experience to promote a positive impact on the environment.

Teardrop Hotels

Sri Lanka

From the very beginning sustainability and community have been at the very heart of the Teardrop story. We love this island home of ours and passionately believe in making a positive impact wherever possible. Our core beliefs sit behind everything we do and we constantly look for new ways to have a positive social and environmental impact.

Restoration and transformation

This is a great passion of ours; Saving and restoring beautiful, often abandoned, old buildings and reimagining and transforming them into inspiring fusions of old and new.

Tiger Mountain - Pokhara Lodge

Nepal

Tiger Mountain, since its start has been at the forefront of responsible tourism. This covers all our stakeholders: our guests, employees, local communities, and government. We strive to minimise our impacts be they environmental, social, or corporate and to support our local communities’ own development initiatives. This is through our Community Support Partnership Programme that supports Community Forest User Groups, local schools, health posts, local national and international charities, environmental research and monitoring, advocacy, and media.

As we have evolved through the thought processes of eco-tourism and wider sustainable tourism, we now seek to develop concepts appropriate to the middle hills of Nepal for truly Regenerative Tourism – a leap beyond somewhat passive sustainability to reverse damaging trends to regenerate the environment and communities so that all can thrive – in so doing we provide a deeper level of transformational journey for our guests through a rich sense of place and an immersive experience of life in the middle hills of Nepal. Through authentic experiences, engagement with the local community, integrating with the forest and mountain landscape, understanding the rhythms of life, we create a fuller engagement than just the change from work to holiday. This, in turn, must co-evolve with a more holistic approach to local communities and their aspirations for development. Tiger Mountain aims to be the bridge between the guests’ transformation and the community’s aspirations.

The Sujan Life

India

Our Vision: To preserve and protect parts of the Indian wilderness as well as our diverse cultural heritage for future generations.

A Family dedicated to Conservation

Our family has a legacy of working with wildlife through filming, monitoring, researching and creating awareness about tigers in Ranthambhore for generations. In 1974, when Tejbir and Malvika followed a narrow, winding road it led them to the base of the ancient fort of Ranthambhore. In 1988, they co-established The Ranthambhore Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), working closely with the development of villages around the park boundaries. As a child, Jaisal learnt the lay of the land by walking through every inch of the park; forbidden under today’s regulations. He was taught animal tracking and bush craft skills as a toddler under the tutelage of his father Tejbir, the late Fateh Singh Rathore and his uncle Valmik Thapar – regarded as India’s leading wildlife experts and conservationists.

The Safari Series

Kenya

One of our post-covid promises includes the promise to provide an experience that is “not once in a lifetime, but for your lifetime”

BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

In so much marketing, you see around the promotion of a safari or safari camp you are likely to read the words ‘a trip of a lifetime!’. This is, honestly, because most safari experiences are very expensive and most people who visit Kenya can only afford to come on a trip that happens once in their lives. But this doesn’t need to be the case – many travelers or families go to the same place time and time again, especially if it was a place they felt a real affinity for.

Sustainability is a real ‘buzzword’, but what does really mean? Can travel, which can be incredibly bad for the environment if done without thought, really help sustain a landscape for the future? At The Safari Series, we think so. In fact, it is built into the core of what we do.

The Datai Langkawi

Malaysia

Nature sits at the very core of The Datai Langkawi’s DNA – it is an integral part of who we are and what makes us unique. The wonderful natural setting and the environmental features – the sea, mangroves and ancient virgin rainforest – provide the very foundations for our offering of nature-related experiences combined with holistic and well-being programmes.

Just as nature has gifted us our environment and its fascinating inhabitants, we have a responsibility to conserve and strengthen nature’s increasingly fragile resources and to reduce the negative impact of our footprint on the environment. This responsibility – which has evolved into The Datai Pledge – has culminated into a robust programme of initiatives with the single-minded objective of creating a sustainable environment for the future. The Datai Pledge programme not only benefits the living creatures who share this spectacular island with us but also enriches the lives of our guests, team members and the local community through meaningful participation.

The Datai Pledge programme comprises a series of initiatives relating to our business operations, the land, sea, and youth. These four elements correspond to the four pillars of our programme: Pure for the Future; Wildlife for the Future; Fish for the Future; and Youth for the Future, respectively.

Blue Apple Beach

Colombia

Bocachica is an under-served village on an undeveloped island. The roads are not paved and there is still no running water. Access to education is limited, unemployment is high, and those lucky enough to find work must often support entire families on the Colombian minimum wage of less than $10 a day.

But like all people, all over, Bocachiqueros are proud, charming, hard working and ambitious for themselves, their families and their community.

As one of the only sources of formal employment in the area, Blue Apple’s goal as a business is to offer guests the best experience possible, while also creating opportunities for our neighbours and being a respectful and contributive member of the community.

We employ local people where we can, from Bocachica and from other villages on Tierra Bomba and the islands around Cartagena.

Most of the tours and activities we offer are owned and run by local people. We are also proud to support the Green Apple Foundation, which provides jobs through recycling.

Sol y Luna

Peru

Sol y Luna authentically reflects the rich Andean culture and allows us to share the beauty of the Sacred Valley with our guests while generating the income to support the Sol y Luna Intercultural School.

My name is Marie Hélene Miribel, but everybody calls me simply Petit. Following my heart, I left a successful corporate life for the Sacred Valley of the Incas, to live my dream of improving the future for some of the world’s poorest children. In my husband Franz, I met the perfect match. I have tons of ideas for how to educate these children, and Franz possesses the gifts to build and realize these audacious dreams.

In 1999, we started an education project for the local children, many of whom walked for hours each day to get to a school in poor condition or did not go at all. Working within the existing social fabric proved invaluable to understanding the realities of schools and families around the Sacred Valley. To support our education initiatives in the most economically sustainable way given Sacred Valley’s potential for tourism, in 2000 we decided to build a hotel.

Wild Bush Luxury

Australia

Australia’s landscapes are some of the oldest on Earth and having been isolated for 45 million years, we are one of the most biologically unique and diverse countries on Earth, with more than 80% of flora and fauna species endemic to our environments.

Two hundred years of European settlement has emphasised the fragility of our unique country with land clearance, the introduction of feral animals and invasive weeds substantially impacting on the country’s biodiversity. Twenty two Australian mammal species have become extinct in the last 200 years (the highest rate of any country) and 20% of our remaining mammal species are also threatened with extinction. Climate change will only exacerbate this conservation challenge.

The Wild Bush Luxury portfolio offers guests a chance to see some of Australia’s most incredible and pristine environments, almost completely untouched by human settlement – the Top End and Flinders Ranges.

Welcome to Vietnam

Spectacular nature. Exceptional cuisine. Cultural diversity. Excellent service. Vietnam has fully reopened for international tourism without any Covid-19 restrictions. Now you are free to discover and enjoy various wild nature destinations like limestone mountains, green terraced rice fields, and white sandy beaches. Holiday is coming, let’s get away from it all.

Vietnam’s unique geography creates a range of weather patterns, with both tropical and temperate zones. While March to May offers the best weather countrywide, there is no bad time to visit Vietnam, as there is always some part of the country with holiday skies.

Favourite Game Reserves in South Africa

South Africa is Africa’s most popular and best-developed travel destination is famed for its sun-soaked beaches and vast game reserves, but it also provides exceptional opportunities to indulge in pursuits as varied as wine-tasting, hiking and museum-hopping.

South Africa is a land of extraordinary natural wealth and variety. Indeed, one recent ecological survey ranked it as the third-most important country in the world in terms of biodiversity.
