Today we're soaking up some island vibes in the British Virgin Islands. So, imagine yourself on the island of Virgin Gorda, with swaying palm trees in the background, a pain killer drink in hand, and some of the most stunning views in the Caribbean. Now open your eyes and you'll find yourself at the Rosewood Little Dix Bay. Dig a little deeper and you'll find that this isn't just a shiny new resort taking up space on a pristine island. It was designed by conservationist Laurance Rockefeller and has a rich history including Queen Elizabeth and families who have visited every year since the early 1960s. I chat with General Manager Andreas Pade about that history, little known facts, and what sets this destination apart from others. Looking to book a luxury hotel?

Today, we're heading to Corsica, a rugged island in the Mediterranean where the scent of wild herbs drifts through the air. Though it's part of France, Corsica feels entirely its own, shaped by centuries of independence, Italian influence, and a deep connection to land and tradition. There's a phrase often used to describe the island: a mountain in the sea. And it's not just poetic, it's literal. Nearly two thirds of Corsica is mountainous, which has shaped everything from how people live to the fiercely independent spirit the island is known for today. Joining me today are Frédéric de Coral, founder of Elux France, and Nathalie Bar, a Corsica based expert who knows every corner of the island. We talk about the culture, history, landscapes, and experiences that make Corsica such a special and surprising destination. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this journey to Corsica.

On this episode we're headed back to Kenya to chat with Mikey Carr Hartley, owner of The Safari Collection, which includes the Instagram famous Giraffe Manor. While you've undoubtedly seen beautiful images of the giraffes visiting guests at breakfast time, I want to be clear that The Safari Collection and its focus on conservation runs so much deeper than a photo op. Those friendly giraffe are part of a wider conservation movement and Mikey's other lodges like Sala's Camp and Sasaab are in equally beautiful settings dotted across the Kenyan landscape. We go in depth to chat about the different regions of this fascinating country, the warmth and hospitality of the people, and even dive into some of the details of pangolin conservation.

Today we're heading to the lush island nation of Jamaica. While the country is often associated with beaches and resorts, it's also a place with a deep and complex history, a strong sense of identity, and a rhythm of life that you feel the moment you arrive. Joining me today is Kenton Jones, Managing Director of The Tryall Club, a 2,200-acre private villa community just outside Montego Bay. It blends classic Jamaican hospitality with one of the most expansive and personalized resort experiences in the Caribbean. We discuss what makes Jamaica so culturally rich, how the island's geography shapes everything from lifestyle to cuisine, and what it's like to stay in a fully staffed private villa surrounded by golf, beach, and nature.

Today we're heading to Slovenia, a country that somehow packs alpine peaks, emerald rivers, vineyard-covered hills, and a slice of the Adriatic all into one incredibly compact destination. It's one of Europe's most diverse landscapes, yet still feels refreshingly under the radar. Joining us today to help unpack what makes this country so unique, are my partners in the region, Živa Vincetič and Mattej Valencic. We chat about Slovenia's fascinating history and cultural identity, the landscapes that define it, from the Julian Alps to its famous karst caves, and of course the incredible experiences from outdoor adventure to wine and cuisine. I hope you enjoy this inspiring episode of Luxury Travel Insider. Looking to book a luxury hotel?

Today we're taking you somewhere truly off the map, to a remote archipelago off the northeastern coast of Madagascar, where wild nature and ultra-luxury somehow coexist. Think pristine white sand beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Joining us is Damian Jardine, the General Manager of Miavana, one of the most exclusive private island resorts in the world. We talk about what makes Madagascar feel like an entirely different planet, from cutie its lemurs and chameleons to its landscapes. We also chat about the intention behind building Miavana, and what it really means to experience luxury in a place where nature still leads. Hope you enjoy this episode of Luxury Travel Insider.
