Samantha Nolan
Travel Specialist
I’ve spent the last eight years working in luxury travel and have been lucky enough to explore some incredible places: trekking through the jungles of Borneo, visiting orphaned orangutans, diving with wild dolphins in the Indian Ocean, and saying my wedding vows on an Antiguan beach at sunset. Now (with a small family) my holiday requirements have certainly changed, but I’m looking forward to experiencing a new type of travel and helping our members along the way.

Maldives, Maldives
Baros
Powder-white sands, balmy-blue waters and friendly staff make Baros the closest thing to paradise. An early evening meal at the Lighthouse restaurant is a must do for the most amazing sunset.

Savoie, France
Le Coucou
Ideally located on the slopes of the French Alps, Le Coucou feels like a home away from home. You’ll be well looked after by the hotel’s staff, rooms are tastefully decorated and graced with views of the majestic snow-capped mountains.

London, United Kingdom
Rosewood London
The Rosewood London is a honey-hued luxury stay, hidden behind grand wrought-iron gates in London’s Holborn. After a day of exploring, stop by sartorial Scarfes bar for a drink or two before heading back up to your opulent room.
