Destinations

Places we know well enough to recommend properly

Short, honest guides to the destinations our clients ask about most — when to go, how long to stay and what is genuinely worth the money.

Southern Italy

Cliffside villages, lemon groves and long lunches above impossibly blue water.

Best time: May to early October

South Africa

Vineyard estates, mountain drives and Cape Town on the doorstep.

Best time: November to March

Japan

Temple gardens, ryokan evenings and a food scene that repays curiosity.

Best time: Late March to April, or November

Nordics

Glacier walks, geothermal soaks and northern lights on a clear night.

Best time: February to March, or June to August

Indian Ocean

Overwater villas, house reefs and the quietest week you will ever have.

Best time: December to April

United States

A city that works equally well for a long weekend and a board meeting.

Best time: April to June, September to November
