Virtuoso Life — the adventure issue

 

There are many different kinds of luxury, and adventure travel is one of them. We in the 21st century have the capacity to discover the wilds of nature, all in perfect comfort. While you will experience some trade-offs — even the most well equipped tent will never duplicate the elegance perfected by world-class hotels like the George V or Ritz Paris — you can enjoy privileged encounters of a different kind. While there are too many possibilities to list here, but you might start by thinking about...

• an all-inclusive excursion cruise to Antartica or to Iceland & Greenland
• a tented camp in Tofino (BC), Chiang Rai (Thailand), or Rajasthan (India)
• a luxurious safari resort in Africa, a base for discovering the Big Five

It costs nothing to indulge the dream. Click here to browse the May/June issue of Virtuoso Life. Dubbed "the adventure issue," you'll read about possibilities like those mentioned in the bullet points above. Finally, contact your Virtuoso travel advisor to orchestrate your travel dreams and bring them to life.

Four Seasons Golden Triangle — 20% off!

Four Seasons Golden Triangle is a magical tented camp resort right on the border of Thailand and Burma. Sitting on our deck, we had a beautiful view of the river, and Burma was right on the other bank of the river. In fact, when we left to go back to the airport, I asked the driver of our boat to take us over to the other side of the river so I could touch the reeds ... so I've actually touched Burma!

All all-inclusive glamping experience, the highlight of your stay will be the mahout training. You'll have the chance to get up close and personal with the resort's Asian Elephants.

Here's a last-minute offer for stays until December 19, 2016. Enjoy 20% off the best available rate ... when you book by September 30 (two-night minimum stay). All of the Four Seasons Preferred Partner amenities will apply. While I'm not permitted due to our contract with Four Seasons to list the amenities on a publicly available website, let me just "hint" that we truly enjoyed our massages in the outdoor spa, and that you just might be able to take advantage of a spa credit to enjoy the same thing! For complete information on Four Seasons Preferred Partner amenities, just drop me an email.
