Off the Beaten Path: Unique Travel Experiences Tailored by Local Experts <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

How do you like to travel? Is it a case of see the landmarks, bag the sights and leave? Or do you like to explore the area, take time to ponder the history and the local stories, perhaps kick-back a while in a local tea-house or cafe and chat with the shop staff and the locals before returning to your boutique hotel to enjoy a quiet moment with a book in the gardens, or relax and unwind <\/strong>with a luxury spa treatment? However you like to travel, Secret Retreats<\/a> can create an experience to suit. But where we excel is in adding authenticity, a chance to understand the local experience and what makes life in each destination tick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we are seeing more and more travellers looking for \u2018authentic travel experiences<\/strong>\u2019, essentially a chance to get off the beaten path and to connect with the local experience while still enjoying the highlights, the \u2018must sees\u2019, the \u2018must experience\u2019 and the \u2018must tastes\u2019, of each destination. And for the team at Secret Retreats<\/a> we feel it is important to have time built into each itinerary to enjoy the locations, time to relax and unwind at each boutique hotel or aboard each boat, and to be able to enjoy at a leisurely pace the services on offer there too. This space, this time to simply be, is all too often overlooked in the more typical \u2018bag it and leave\u2019 over packed almost boot camp style travel itineraries, something that the Secret Retreats<\/a> travel planners studiously avoid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our hosts in each location take\npleasure in sharing their homes with you. From the moment they open their door\nto welcome you, or welcome you onboard their yacht or riverboat, they are keen\nto share the local history, nature, and local food culture with you through our\nunique tailor-made travel experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this edition we introduce our Secret Journeys<\/a> to you. Whether taking our ready-made itineraries or having our Concierge tailor-make a unique travel itinerary for you, we have a library of more than 100 travel itineraries, all locally designed, for you to choose from. Travel solo or as a couple, with family or with friends, each Secret Journey<\/a> is designed to share with you unique and memorable experiences at a gentle pace and with a soft footprint<\/strong> as all of our members are keen advocates of regenerative and responsible travel<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
