Bora Bora
French Polynesia
If you are dreaming of turquoise-blue waters, snow-white sand beaches, and unrivaled luxury resorts with overwater villas, then Bora Bora should be high on your list in 2023.
Bora Bora could easily be defined as the center of the romantic world, where luxury, beach resorts, and spas dot the island with unforgettable sights, thatched-roof villas, and an unbeatable ambiance for well-heeled honeymooners. The island itself lies on a dormant volcano, and is well-known for its multi-colored blue lagoons.
The best beaches in all of French Polynesia can also be found on Bora Bora, with unforgettable bays in which to cool down. Water is the way of life on this mythical island, surrounded by a magnificent lagoon, barrier reef, and several motus (islets) made up of broken coral and sand. At the center of the main island are the remains of an extinct volcano with two dramatic peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu. At 2,835-feet high, Mount Otemanu is Bora Bora’s highest point and offers one of Earth’s most iconic views. That’s why most resorts
face the mountain to give guests a full view of the striking natural landscape. Mount Otemanu offers lush tropical slopes and delightful valleys of Hibiscus for some off-ocean sightseeing, perhaps even via helicopter if one wishes.
Services and experiences from KEY.co can include private snorkeling tours, guided jet ski tours with beach picnic included, and a private boat cruise of the many sparkling lagoons in the area with options for snorkeling and diving.
The Maldives
Hulule Island
The Maldives, a stunning archipelagic nation positioned in the Indian Ocean southwest of India – consists of 26 awe-inspiring atolls.
No matter what resort you choose, you’ll find top properties competing to offer a mind-blowing, picture-perfect palm island experience. Think of overwater bungalows, crystalline waters, white-sand beaches and the world’s best snorkeling and diving spots, all teeming with remarkable marine life.
There are few itineraries that would offer more privacy than a private flight to the remote atolls of the Maldives, where passengers land and find themselves at one of a few sparsely-populated ultra-luxe resorts. Each atoll and island offers its own unique charm, and once you’re settled at your destination, you’ll likely not feel the need to leave. Indulge in undisturbed, all-inclusive experiences with planned activities, world-class diving, unique spa treatments in heavenly settings, and all of the activities that a water sports enthusiast could dream of.
KEY.co will ensure a seamless experience, coordinating island-hopping flights, speed boat travel for water adventures and many more onshore. Via seaplane, guests can galavant across garlands of islands, watching whale sharks from above – and once a good wave is spotted, land on it for a surf break. A romantic chef-prepared dinner on the beach can be coordinated on the fly, as can an undersea meal at the famed Ithaa restaurant five meters below the surface, where guests enjoy European cuisine in a six-course set dinner menu with 180-degree panoramic views of coral gardens.
Aspen
Colorado
The unique juxtaposition of glitz and glamor and natural wonders in Aspen has endured for more than 75 years, as it remains one of the supreme mountain towns in the U.S.
The skiing speaks for itself, with hiking and biking trails appearing beneath the renowned slopes during the warmer months. This playground of the elite hums with high-end boutiques, pop-up bars from New York brands, and a food and art scene on par with the largest cities in North America.
Fabulous Five-Star hotels in Aspen include Hotel Jerome, part of the Elevated Lifestyle Preferred Hotel Program, which offers history and luxury through its warm and stately interior. Enormous luxury suites, rich leathers, vintage portraits, cashmere curtains and burnished- leather bed frames will beckon Western history and Native American roots. Two restaurants, a cozy cocktail lounge, post-ski massages, and amenities including babysitting, dry cleaning and valet parking are sure to wow at this century-old but newly-revamped Auberge Resort.
Supercharge your alpine adventure with KEY.co’s polished services (both on- and off-mountain). Imagine heated gondolas, farm-to-table dining brought to your door via delivery or private chef, and many other experiences depending on the season. While private ski and snowboard lessons can be booked in a breeze, warmer-weather adventures such as fly fishing, horseback riding, helicopter tours, guided mountain hiking and biking excursions, and private wine tastings are all possible.
St. Barts
Caribbean Islands
St. Barts—also known as St-Barth, St. Barths, and Saint Barthélemy—is a French-speaking Caribbean island known for its swanky European vibe, flawless beaches and plenty of privacy.
This Caribbean isle has long been popular for jetsetters with high-end restaurants, designer stores, and its quintessential lush hills accented by red-roofed homes. Because there are no direct commercial flights, many visitors arrive by private jet or yacht – and there’s plenty of room to park your luxury vessel if you so choose.
The island’s capital, Gustavia, gives off a snazzy, chic, European vibe with its famous red-roofed hills and luxe dining and shopping options. While some may shop until they drop, others can peruse art galleries or simply meander the blissful streets and enjoy views of the world’s finest superyachts in the harbor. St. Barts is only 11-miles long and 2.5- miles wide, so it’s quite small, and driving around it takes about 30 minutes max – this makes renting a vehicle for a day a fun side trek.
Better yet, St. Barts is home to two Jet Linx Elevated Lifestyle Preferred Hotel properties – Cheval Blanc and Le Barthélemy. Cheval Blanc earned Five-Star status from Forbes Travel Guide in 2023, while Le Barthélemy Hotel and Spa earned the #1 Resort in the Caribbean for the second time, also landing amongst the 25 Best Resorts in the World by the Condé Nast Traveler, in the 2020 Reader’s Choice Awards. No matter which accommodation you choose, the power of the Jet Linx Hotel Concierge team and KEY.co’s Global Travel Designers will deliver a dreamy experience.
Bali
Indonesia
Bali offers thousands of the most postcard-worthy sights with aquamarine surf, endless beaches, thousands of temples with near-daily ceremonies, and emerald jungles teeming with monkeys and waterfalls.
This so-called ‘Island of the Gods’ offers a little bit of everything to a varied group of travelers: yogis, surfers, design buffs, beach lovers and plenty of celebrities. Simply put, Bali’s blue skies, sea breezes, coconut palms and magnetizing energy make it a can’t-miss destination in 2023.
One of the most powerful aspects of EL partner KEY.co’s services in Bali comes in the ability to avoid tourist hotspots, as Bali has become very popular (for good reason). As soon as travelers touch down in Bali, KEY.co provides fast-track service through customs to usher you around crowds and to a private vehicle to take you to Nyang Nyang beach, one of Bali’s hidden secrets. A visit to Banyu Wana Amertha waterfall or Tukad Cepung waterfall provides options for relatively new and unexplored natural areas. Snorkeling in Menjangan Island offers seven world-class dive sites easily reached by a private chartered boat, but more airy adventures like helicopter tours can also be arranged. On the cultural spectrum, KEY.co can prepare private visits and retreats to many temples, or arrange a starlight dinner in a stunning cave hideaway in the caves of Samabe. With Jet Linx, KEY.co and Bali’s vibrant culture come endless opportunities for memorable experiences.
