Does travel feel more expensive right now? It's not your imagination, and it's not one thing.

Demand at the top end of the market has grown considerably. More travellers competing for the same number of genuinely excellent hotels, private guides, and limited-access experiences means pricing has moved in one direction.

International premium cabin pricing has shifted significantly since 2022 and hasn't come back down. The windows where pricing softens are shorter than they used to be. Then there's the currency piece. A strong dollar helps in some markets and doesn't in others. Knowing where and when it matters is part of the planning.

What this means practically: the travellers who get the most out of their budget right now are planning further ahead, staying flexible with timing, and being strategic about where they spend well versus where it doesn't change the experience.

If you're trying to make sense of what a trip should actually cost right now, I'm happy to walk through it with you.

Some travellers are planning with a different set of priorities right now. Destinations that feel stable, well-organized, and deliver an excellent experience without uncertainty. A few I keep recommending:

Switzerland, for alpine adventures that are hard to match anywhere. In summer, gondola rides into the Alps, mountain coasters, and for the chocolate lovers, Geneva has an unlimited chocolate pass honoured at the city's best artisanal chocolatiers.

Ireland and Scotland, for long summer days, the Wild Atlantic Way, and a hospitality culture that consistently surprises first-time visitors in the best way.

Japan, for cherry blossom season, world-class powder skiing, small-ship cruising along its coastline, and a level of cultural depth that clients say changed how they think about travel entirely.

Australia and New Zealand, for stunning natural landscapes, serious food culture, and a well-run English-speaking environment that works particularly well for first-time long-haul travellers. Book New Zealand now before its first Michelin Guide puts the best tables out of reach.

If this is the kind of trip you're planning, I'll help you find the right destination and design it properly.

Raise your hand if you're overdue for a real break. If so, there's a Forbes Five-Star resort in Southern California with your name on it.

Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa is 45 acres of citrus groves and Mediterranean architecture just north of San Diego, and it has collected some of the most serious recognition in domestic travel. Forbes Five Star. AAA Five Diamond. Ranked the number one resort in California by U.S. News & World Report. The spa alone is worth the trip.

What makes it stand out: it has the intimacy of a boutique hotel with the amenities of a much larger resort. Fresh-squeezed orange juice delivered to your casita every morning. A Bentley fleet available to borrow. World-class tennis across 20 courts, including red clay. The Pony Room restaurant, serving coastal ranch cuisine that is significantly better than resort dining has any right to be.

If you’re looking for a California trip that doesn't involve LAX or the usual resort experience, this is the one I come back to.

Europe gets all the attention. South America gets all the rewards. And right now, it's the best-kept secret in luxury travel.

While everyone is fighting for peak-season availability in Italy and France, South America offers world-class hotels, extraordinary food, and a fraction of the crowds. And the destinations have never been better.

Peru has a food culture that has surprised the world, and properties around Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley that rival anything in Europe for design and experience.

Colombia has gone from under the radar to genuinely unmissable: Cartagena's old city, the coffee region, and Medellín's food and design scene are drawing travellers.

Argentina rounds it out with Buenos Aires, one of the great city experiences anywhere, and Mendoza wine country, which competes with the best regions in the world.

Three countries. Extraordinary experiences. If South America has been on your radar, this is the year to stop waiting. Let's plan it properly.

Christian Louboutin's first hotel is in a tiny coastal village in Portugal that most people have never heard of. Very on brand.

Vermelho means red in Portuguese, and Louboutin's signature colour shows up exactly where you'd expect it. Each of the 13 rooms is individually designed with antique furniture, hand-painted frescoes, and artwork from his personal collection.

It's a Relais & Châteaux property, and the restaurant Xtian, serving Alentejo cuisine on hand-thrown local tableware, is a big part of why.

The village of Melides itself is the quieter, less discovered neighbour of Comporta on the Alentejo coast. The beach is a ten-minute ride away; guests get there in Fiat 500s with red roofs.

This is the kind of property that books up fast. Message me to start planning!
