Introduction
After years scouring the world for the finest luxury sunscapes, many of our specialists have their own favourite beach hideaways. They're a mix of destinations for those that love the classic, and those that love the curious - from Búzios in Brazil, the barely-touched islands of Con Dao in Vietnam, a European boutique bolthole, the classic seascapes of New England's Cape Cod or the desert-backed beaches of Oman, our experts are able to craft a custom itinerary just for you, as well as help you combine a beach break with other activities, be it a city stop, safari or cultural breakaway.
At many luxury beachfront hotels, we’re able to negotiate savings and additional benefits like complimentary upgrades or extra nights - and that's one more reason to tailor-make your coastal trip with us. Ask your specialist about our latest offers.
