Dear Luxury Traveller,

As the calendar year draws to a close, December offers a natural moment for reflection and forward-planning. And while we’ve charted journeys to the world’s most exquisite destinations in 2025, it’s time to consider a shift in perspective for the future.

Now that we are coming to the end of 2025, it’s time to think about travel for next year. Can we have at least one different travel experience in 2026? And can that be a regenerative travel experience?

Regenerative travel is a philosophy that transcends simple sustainability; it’s about leaving a destination better than you found it. It’s about being an active participant in the preservation of culture, community, and environment. When you choose a regenerative getaway, you are choosing intentional impact. In 2026, we invite you to commit to travel where luxury seamlessly supports local communities and the hotels that champion them.
