IT'S IN THE DETAILS - HOTEL EXPERIENCES THAT ARE VERY VIP
S

omething that all great travel advisors know to be true is this: attention to detail is what separates the finer things in life from things that are just... fine. And when it comes to matching you with the perfect accommodation, I am always mindful of the special touches that elevate your stay. From intricate architecture to thoughtful amenities to the friendly staff that know you by name — the little things do tend to matter most. Below are a few luxury properties in my portfolio that go above and beyond to create very VIP experiences. When you're ready, I look forward to treating you to a unique retreat that is meticulously designed to suit your travel style and great taste.

MAKE AN ENTRANCE YOU WON'T FORGET

FOUR SEASONS RESORT BALI AT SAYAN

When you combine the peaceful island of Bali with the iconic hospitality of Four Seasons, you'll find yourself in a riverside sanctuary wholly pampered and at ease. The entrance is striking — upon arrival, you’ll walk across a footbridge to a terrace that appears to float above a tranquil lotus pond and the jungle that surrounds. The architecture of this property is impeccable, and gradually reveals itself as you descend a stairway to the reception. Here you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of lush gardens and rice paddies and serenaded by the tranquil sounds of the Ayung River below. Indulge in soothing spa treatments and participate in unforgettable activities like full moon yoga.
