The Atlas

Curated Destinations

A living collection of places worth exploring — each one shaped by experience, relationships, and an eye for the extraordinary.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." The following destinations represent a small selection of the places I return to again and again — each offering its own rhythm, light, and sense of occasion. Consider this a starting point for conversation, not a fixed menu. Every itinerary is designed from a blank page, shaped entirely around your vision.

01 The Aegean

Greece

Whitewashed villages perched above a sapphire sea, cliffside infinity pools, and golden hours that linger long into the evening — Greece remains one of the most requested journeys I design, and for good reason. Whether your vision is a honeymoon suite carved into the caldera or a slower, multi-island itinerary by private yacht, the Aegean rewards those who linger.

Ideas Worth Exploring

  • — Caldera-view suites in Santorini, with private terrace plunge pools and sunset reservations arranged in advance
  • — Quieter island-hopping between Milos, Folegandros, and Paros aboard a private yacht
  • — A slower pace in Naxos, with secluded beaches and family-run tavernas known only to locals
  • — Guided exploration of ancient Athens, Delphi, or Knossos with vetted private historians

"There is a particular kind of quiet that exists only in the hours before sunset on the Aegean — it is worth the journey alone."

02 La Dolce Vita

Italy

From the lemon groves above Positano to the quiet hill towns of Tuscany, Italy offers an endless study in beauty, history, and the art of slowing down. I design Italian itineraries for travelers who want both the iconic and the unexpected — a private boat day around Capri paired with an afternoon learning to make pasta in a centuries-old farmhouse.

A Few Favorites

  • — Ivy-draped villa stays along the Amalfi Coast with private chef and housekeeping
  • — Private boat charters to Capri, the Li Galli islands, or Positano's hidden coves
  • — Truffle hunting and wine tastings through Tuscany's family-run estates
  • — Coastal drives along the Amalfi with a private driver and curated stops
"Italy does not need to be rushed. The best afternoons are the ones with nothing on the agenda but a view and a glass of something local."

03 Riviera Days

South of France

Between the pine-scented cliffs of Cap Ferrat and the lavender fields of Provence lies a version of France built for long, unhurried afternoons. I design Riviera itineraries around the rhythm of the coast — quiet coves reached by private boat, market mornings in hilltop villages, and golden evenings spent over rosé with a view of the Mediterranean.

Ideas Worth Exploring

  • — Villa stays along Cap Ferrat and Cap d'Antibes, with private beach access and staff included
  • — Private boat days from Nice or Cannes to the hidden coves of the Esterel coastline
  • — Wandering the lavender routes and hilltop villages of Provence, from Gordes to Saint-Paul-de-Vence
  • — Champagne lunches and people-watching along the Saint-Tropez waterfront

"The Riviera was never meant to be rushed — it is a coastline best discovered one long lunch at a time."

04 Island Time

The Tropics

From the secluded white-sand coves of Anguilla and St. Barths to the overwater bungalows of Bora Bora and French Polynesia, the tropics are where many of my clients come to truly disconnect. Whether it's a beachfront escape along Mexico's coastline, a volcanic retreat in Hawaii, or island-hopping through the Caribbean, I curate every detail with an eye toward privacy, ease, and that particular shade of turquoise.

Possibilities to Consider

  • — Beachfront villas in Anguilla and St. Barths, with private chefs and sunset sails
  • — Overwater bungalow stays in Bora Bora and French Polynesia, with private plunge pools and butler service
  • — Oceanfront resorts and volcanic retreats across the Hawaiian islands
  • — Multi-generational family escapes to Mexico's coastal resorts, with adjoining villas and curated excursions for every age

05 A Different Kind of Wild

South Africa

Few destinations offer the range of South Africa within a single itinerary — golden-hour game drives across private reserves, long lunches through the vineyards of the Cape Winelands, and the effortless cosmopolitan energy of Cape Town, framed by Table Mountain and the Atlantic. It is a destination I love designing as a journey through contrasts, moving seamlessly from the bush to the vineyard to the city.

Worth Adding to Your Itinerary

  • — Private safari lodges with dedicated guides and open-air vehicles, timed for golden-hour game drives
  • — Wine estate tours and tastings through the Cape Winelands
  • — Time in Cape Town — Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, and the city's most celebrated restaurants
  • — Combined safari, wine country, and Cape Town itineraries for a complete South African story

My Focus

From sun-drenched tropics to European adventures, every destination has its own story just waiting to be discovered.
