Four Exclusive Luxury Group Travel Experiences

The ultimate in luxury demands experiences so transformative that you can’t help but to leave them a changed person. These experiences pamper you, give you exclusive, behind-the-scenes access, and immerse you fully into the destinations and cultures that you visit. Simply put, they redefine the ways in which you experience the world. However, not every ultra-luxury experience is suitable for large groups. That’s why we’ve pulled together a list of four experiences perfect for groups of nine to thirty people that are sure to elevate anyone’s journey from one that’s great to one that’s once-in-a-lifetime.

VIP Package at The Masters Tournament

We are excited to be able to offer our clients VIP curated experiences at the 2021 Masters Golf Tournament for a group of nine. During the course of four days, tour players will host your group at the Augusta Country Club where you’ll play golf and have clinics with them. The players will also walk the Masters course with you and, as players who have played the course before, give you a unique behind-the-scenes perspective that you wouldn’t get otherwise. At night, you’ll enjoy private dinners at your beautiful villa. Package rates are between $229k-$300k and food and drinks are all included.

Mastermind Event with Richard Branson on Necker Island

Welcome to your private island paradise. For five days, host no more than 25 people on Necker Island for a Mastermind event with Sir Richard Branson himself. Play chess or tennis with him or even just chat and have a cup of tea with him. He’s even happy to join you for breakfast. This island is barefoot luxury at its finest, located in the beautiful and unspoiled British Virgin Islands. Spend five days doing fun activities with one of the greatest business minds out there for about $25k per person.

Mastermind Event at Parihoa Farm, NZ

Perched on the rugged cliffs of Auckland, 150m above the crashing waves of the West Coast Tasman Sea, lies Parihoa Farm, a new 600-acre working farm steeped in Maori history. Make yourself at home in one of two breathtaking villas—the Chapman House, an ultra-modern fortress with four bedroom suites, a pool and a hot tub or the Gatehouse, featuring five bedrooms. Both homes offer an incredible 4 kilometers of unblocked ocean views and border reserve land containing the Hillary Nature Trail. They also have a beautiful barn and fully-equipped gym, among many other amenities. It truly is like no other place on earth.

Anguilla’s Long Bay Villas

Last but not least, host a retreat at Anguilla’s Long Bay villas. These newly-transformed beachfront villas include the five-bedroom Sky Villa, the five-bedroom Sand Villa, and the six-bedroom Sea Villa. No matter which one you stay in, each one offers you the privacy of a villa, plus the amenities and service of a luxury boutique resort. The price for all three villas—each impeccably-maintained by an attentive housekeeping staff—is $85k for the week in low season. Daily continental breakfast is included, as is the service of a villa butler for eight hours per day.

If you want to hear more about these experiences, drop us a line or send us an email at info@blueskyluxurytravels.com and we’d be happy to send you more information. Happy travels!

Caribbean Locations for Trips with Friends

Once the world gets back to normal and it’s safe to stop considering trips from our bedroom to our kitchen “vacations”, there are two things I’m sure we’ll all want to do: hang out with our friends (in person) and travel (around the world). One of the best destinations to bond with your besties has to be the Caribbean. The Caribbean is a melting pot of cultures, with 13 sovereign states and 17 dependent territories in the mix. Whether you’re looking to relax on the beach, traverse the great outdoors, or anything in between, these five locations truly deliver in terms of making the most out of quality time.

Harbour Island, Bahamas

Harbour Island is a quick getaway for East Coasters ideal for many reasons—the biggest one being that it’s entirely surrounded by water. The island’s lifestyle revolves around the ocean: playing in it, eating by it, drinking by it, and fishing in it. Plus, a large amount of vacationers from NYC that always make their way here give the island a pretty sizable social scene. Fine dining and nightlife can be found at the luxury resorts on the shoreline. When it comes to your vacation headquarters, I’m partial to Rosalita, a new beachfront villa. Rosalita sits on beautifully landscaped oceanfront grounds. The villa features six bedrooms and sleeps twelve guests. Five of the bedrooms are located in the villa’s main house. The sixth bedroom is located in the guest house and features a king bed. All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and four have alfresco showers. Both the master and the guest house bedroom suites have private terraces with fantastic views, while the other bedrooms have private entrances from the veranda or garden.

Sugar Beach, Saint Lucia

Once you arrive in Sugar Beach, you won’t want to leave. Surrounded by St. Lucia’s twin volcanic Pitons, the Beachfront Collection villa blends seamlessly into Sugar Beach’s untouched beauty, with sweeping views of the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea. This four-bedroom villa has an infinity pool and suites has floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors for an unobstructed view. You and your friends can relax, take in the epic views and enjoy the private walled garden. Make sure to connect with Blue Sky Luxury Travels to make plans ahead of time, we can arrange for private chef and spa services and luxury catamarans for a day on the water.

St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands

St. John is an exclusive enclave that offers the convenience and flexibility of staying within the U.S., with the tropical splendor of the Caribbean. Located on the north shore of St. John, Estate Solenborg is a luxury Caribbean vacation rental villa overlooking the Sir Frances Drake Passage and Denis Bay. This secluded estate is a private paradise with seven bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and ocean views. Gather with friends and enjoy the luxe modern design, two heated pools, an expansive terrace, and outdoor living and dining areas.

Sailing Catamaran, British Virgin Islands

Island hopping in the BVIs is the ultimate way to enjoy the Caribbean with friends. Ten guests can explore the coves, go diving, fishing, and paddleboarding among the islands in the spectacular Bella Vita sailing catamaran. This super luxury catamaran offers an all-inclusive crewed yacht charter experience with a crew of six. It was formerly named Necker Belle, was owned by Richard Branson, and won a World Superyacht Award in 2010. In true Branson spirit, the Bella Vita was built to maximize fun, featuring a spacious trampoline, a diving board, and a unique crow’s nest that can lift you to the top of her mast.

West End, Anguilla

With easy access to St. Maarten, Puerto Rico and Antigua, Anguilla attracts a high-end, sophisticated crowd. It also boasts more than 30 beaches (some of the best in the entire Caribbean), a wealth of fine dining and enough outdoor activities to satisfy any nature lover. For groups who want the ultimate private villa and spa experience, the Four Seasons Villas are the only choice. The oceanfront villas with private pools combine the privacy of a villa with the luxury of a world-class resort. Your group of up to 13 guests can relax at the indoor and outdoor bars while the Four Seasons’ legendary staff caters to your every desire. Whether you want to spend your days relaxing at the beach club, working on your cardio on private tennis courts or vacationing like celebrities in a private spa, the Four Seasons Villas certainly won’t disappoint. Savor tailored luxury, privacy and service on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.

Choosing a Private Island for your Corporate Retreat

Corporate event planners are increasingly choosing private islands for incentive trips, corporate retreats, and executive planning sessions. Here at Blue Sky Luxury Travels, we are seeing a lot of companies making this choice, and it’s a trend that makes a lot of sense. In the time of the American financial crisis of 2008, traditional large-scale corporate events were going away in favor of smaller groups getting together. Once the crash hit, the presence of corporate retreats diminished as it just didn’t look right to be spending thousands of dollars on seemingly frivolous activities like yoga retreats and shark diving. As companies have begun to reemerge, though, they’ve resumed the practice of rewarding their employees with smaller group actives that have an emphasis on bonding. These old-but-new retreats are centered around contributing to a company’s long-term success.

Avoiding large metropolitan cities can have great benefits for hosting productive corporate retreats. By staying away from the noise and distractions of a city, you can get more done and provide better opportunities for your team to get to know one another. Companies are finding that more personalized corporate retreats set in natural surroundings prove to be more constructive. Instead of the same old team-building challenges in the forest or trust exercises on a rope ladder, indulge yourself and spoil your employees with a tropical getaway!

A private island is great for companies, especially those that want something secluded and ultra-luxurious. They offer a totally unique experience and can be the perfect setting for a company retreat as they allow you to reward your employees, encourage team building and motivate your staff to be inspired by the idyllic settings that surround them. After all, people work best when they’re happy and who wouldn’t be happy while staying on a private island?

In a private island villa, each person typically gets their own room and most often their own bathroom, while the whole team can gather in comfortable living areas, cook in a high-end kitchen, or relax in a hot tub. When all the planning details are taken care of for you, you get to focus on what’s truly important: building great work relationships. There will also always be wait staff ready to pamper you to your heart’s content.

When choosing a private island for your retreat, a number of factors must be considered. First, you need to choose an island that your company can comfortably afford. Private islands are notorious for being expensive, but who can complain given their rarity and the luxury and privacy that guests enjoy? That being said, there are a number of resorts that are more within reach than you’d think. Call us for rates or simply submit a Booking Inquiry Form on any of our Private Island pages.

Secondly, the location of the island matters. Usually, private islands are found in warm, tropical areas, although there are some that can be found in drier climates. You want to choose a location that fits the climate you’re expecting. Confirm expected weather conditions are fair so that nothing interrupts your company’s perfect island getaway.

Blue Sky Luxury Travels’ private islands are located in amazingly beautiful tropical destinations. Your guests will want to come as soon as they hear keywords like “Fiji” or “Bahamas” or “the Caribbean”. They’re sure to be looking forward to the trip even if it is a working vacation. Contact us to make your 2020 corporate retreats something truly special!

Necker Island is BACK!

I’ve spent many busy, blissful days at Necker Island, leading group trips and managing entertainment, and sometimes just enjoying connections and relaxation with friends. It was heartbreaking to see the island in ruins after Hurricane Irma almost two years ago, but I’m happy to say that Necker is back in business. I took a group to Sir Richard Branson’s private island in the British Virgin Islands a couple of months ago, and Necker is gorgeous and the lemurs are as playful as ever.

After being shuttered in September 2017 after the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma the luxurious resort has been completely restored and updated with new additions. Branson, who rode out the hurricane in the wine cellar with family and staff, has been very involved to support Unite BVI and the BVI community as the whole of the British Virgin Islands recover after the devastating storm. Now completely rebuilt, Necker Island offers an enhanced experience that’s ideal for corporate, social or family groups looking for a luxurious retreat.

Virgin Limited Edition, Necker Island, 2019

Ready for a new chapter, the Great House, where people come to dine, party or just relax together, has been completely re-created with the addition of 2 new rooms (11 rooms total) in a Balinese style. New completely freestanding, the Leha Lo house sleeps two adults with panoramic sea views, private sundeck, hot tub and an improved and expanded Bali Hi complex offering private plunge pools in each of its houses.

Virgin Limited Edition, Necker Island, 2018

Situated in the picturesque British Virgin Islands, Necker Island’s 74-acre estate has all the ingredients for a holiday of a lifetime. One of the most exclusive and private-island destinations in the Caribbean, guests can look forward to the gorgeous white sandy beaches, a full array of exciting watersports equipment (scuba, sailboats, paddleboards, wakeboards), refreshing drinks timed perfectly to sunset views and multiple gorgeous freshwater infinity pools. From private tennis lessons with a resident professional coach and top-class watersports to relaxing on your own stretch of private beach, guests have everything they need to truly enjoy the tranquility of the island.

The fun doesn’t end when the sun goes down! Necker Island has held some of the most legendary parties that you can offer to your guests while staying on this private island. From Casino Night, complete with poker and roulette tables, to Disco Fever with a setup including a variety of colored disco lights, Necker Island is ready to give your guests a memorable experience they will be talking about for years to come.

Virgin Limited Edition, Necker Island, 2018

Unsurprisingly, one of the most common questions asked when booking a luxury vacation on the idyllic island is about the weather. In the British Virgin Islands, the average monthly temperature ranges from highs of around 82°F (28°C) in January to highs of roughly 95°F (35°C) in July. In short, it’s pretty much sunny pleasant weather year-round!

Regardless of when you plan your next visit to Necker Island, you can expect warm and sunny beach weather in an island paradise, a fully stocked bar, meals served on the roof terrace and a stunning array of wildlife from flamingos to lemurs to giant tortoises! Experience the world’s most exclusive island retreat and savor inspiring beauty from amazing panoramic views of the Caribbean, the Atlantic, and neighboring islands. One word of warning, once you’ve experienced the astounding beauty and luxury of Necker Island, you may never want to leave!

Ten Questions to Ask Before Your Next Luxury Vacation Villa Rental

Here at Blue Sky Luxury Travels, we select only the best in villas, resorts, yacht charters and private islands for our discriminating guests. Our local team ensures quality and unique experiences as well as planning tailored and unique itineraries. When you’re making the decision of which villa is right for your island vacation, here are 10 important questions to consider:

1. What is the location of the villa?

Is it located near a city or town or is it in a more rural area? Are there any shops nearby? Banks? Ferry boats? Asking the right questions about the area can help you get a better idea of the location you’re staying at and how accessible it will be to pick up any last-minute supplies or gifts.

2. What services and activities are offered?

As an all-inclusive operation, Blue Sky offers a variety of services at most of our villas including private chefs, personal trainers, childcare professionals, massage therapists, tour guides, private transportation services, and more. We are able to tailor a dream vacation that is unique to your interests and desires. Experiences can include day charters for powerboats, catamarans, and sailboats, private jets, event planning, helicopter charters, excursions (guided hikes, kayak, and paddle boards), private local land and sea tours, and more. If you’re looking for a specific diving experience or for snorkeling near to where you’re staying, you might want to choose a close-by villa for your stay, and we will be glad to advise you on the best selections.

3. Can I send a wish list of important things we are looking for in a villa?

YES! The more specific the better! You can let us know the location you prefer, your range in budget, if full AC is important or if AC in the bedrooms only is ok, beachfront or a high up view, etc. Asking the right questions can help narrow down your options. From there Blue Sky will go to work on locating your perfect villa!

4. Do I get to choose the food?

If you’re opting for a private chef or villa provisioning, you’ll be able to make dining plans for your entire villa vacation in advance. For provisioning prior to your luxury villa vacation, you’ll fill out a shopping list so our team can do the shopping for you and have your kitchen stocked before you arrive. For private chef services, you’ll fill out a questionnaire to provide the chef with your food and beverage preferences along with any dietary or medical conditions in your party. Then the villa chef will work their magic to prepare gourmet meals for you to enjoy!

5. Can I have a party at my villa?

Blue Sky is a company with over 15 years of experience planning events from small intimate parties to large scale corporate gatherings and even worldwide tours. From arranging talent to planning production logistics, we handle all aspects of private events and believe anything is possible. Our team can make your party or wedding dreams come true during your vacation, but you’ll want to make sure that the villa you select allows this type of function.

6. Do the luxury villas allow pets?

We are pet lovers! Let us know if you have any pets joining you during your stay. We are at your service to create the ultimate luxury vacation for you and all your loved ones. Our concierge team will help you choose a villa that allows pets if you choose to bring your furry friends along on vacation.

7. What is the cancellation policy?

Great question! Cancellation policies vary by property, but we are always here to answer any of your questions. Please let us know which property you are interested in and we can discuss the cancellation policy with you before you plan your luxury vacation.

8. Is the area safe?

We personally visit all of our luxury villas to make sure we know what’s out there. Many villas have extensive security systems and are in guard-gated communities. When security is paramount, our concierge team will help you select the appropriate villa for your needs.

9. What should I pack?

Your villa will come fully equipped with everything needed for luxury, safety, and meal preparations. Of course, you’ll want to remember the basics like passport, prescription medication, reef safe sunblock (we can recommend some great ones as well as chemical free if you like), lip balm, and insect repellent. As far as clothing, definitely pack several cute swimsuits, comfortable walking shoes, and sunglasses!

10. How do I get there?

Some villas are more remote than others. If time is short, you may want to select a villa that has quick access to a local airport so you can start your vacation quickly. For longer vacations, it might not be such a big deal to take a ferry and a boat to get to your vacation home. Either way, our team will make sure you have all the information you need on the easiest and most convenient way to arrive at your vacation destination.

Here at Blue Sky Luxury Travels, our clients are our top priority and we strive for excellent service. You will have access to our luxury concierge, Shanna Dickerson, and her on-site staff to assist during your entire luxury villa stay. We hope these questions, along with our personalized assistance, will help you choose the perfect vacation villa for your next luxurious escape.

Caribbean Island Destinations within Easy Reach of the United States

Blue Sky Luxury Travels specializes in VIP concierge services in the Caribbean and beyond. They can help you connect you to your travel destination in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, Antigua, Anguilla, Belize, Turks and Caicos, St. Lucia, Nevis and St. Kitts and other destinations. All of these locations are within easy reach of the continental United States. Below is an overview of how to get to these tropical vacation destinations.

Getting to the U.S. Virgin Islands

There are two major airports in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas and the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport on St. Croix. Non-stop and connecting flights from the continental United States to St. Thomas and St. Croix are available from several major cities, including Miami (2.5 to 3 hours), Charlotte (3.20 hours), Atlanta (2.5 hours), New York (3.5 hours), Houston (8 hours) and San Francisco (10 hours). Some flights also make connections in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Inter-island flights in the U.S. Virgin Islands are available as well.

Getting to the British Virgin Islands

The main airport in the British Virgin Islands is the Terrence B. Lettsome Airport. Flights from the United States to the British Virgin Islands connect through another Caribbean airport, such as St. Thomas, Antigua, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts or St. Maarten.

Getting to the Bahamas

There are regular flights from Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and other East Coast hubs to the Bahamas. The majority of flights arrive in Nassau or Freeport, where passengers can connect to another flight if they plan to visit the Out Islands. The Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau is the Bahamas’ number-one entry point, followed by the Grand Bahama International Airport in Freeport.

Getting to Antigua

Antigua’s main airport is the V.C. Bird International Airport, located bout 5 miles east of St John’s. Several U.S. airlines fly directly to Antigua from various North American gateway cities, such as from New York City (4.5 hours), Charlotte (4.10 hours), Atlanta (4.25 hours) and Miami (3.20 hours).

Getting to Anguilla

There are no direct flight from the continental United States to Anguilla. The easiest way to get to Anguilla is to fly to neighboring St. Maarten to the Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM). From there, there is regular ferry service to Anguilla. Ferries run approximately every 45 minutes, and the trip takes about 25 minutes.

Getting to Belize

With daily flights from many cities across North America, getting to Belize is easier than one would think. Airlines all land at the Philip Goldson International Airport (PGIA) in Ladyville, located just minutes from Belize City. Flights are available from, for example, Los Angeles (4.5 hours), Dallas (3 hours), Miami (2 hours) and Charlotte (3.5 hours).

Getting to Turks and Caicos

Almost all visitors to the Turks and Caicos Islands arrive by either plane on Providenciales, or by cruise ship to Grand Turk. All scheduled international flights into the Turks and Caicos arrive at Providenciales International Airport (PLS). The remaining inhabited islands have domestic airports. There are currently flights offered from many major United States cities. Flights are available from Charlotte, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Dallas, Atlanta, Boston, New York and Newark. The average flight time from these destinations is about 3-4 hours.

Getting to Nevis and St. Kitts

Travellers from North America can fly to the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) on St. Kitts from several U.S. cities. Non-stop flights are available from New York (4 hours), Newark (4 hours), Charlotte (4 hours), Atlanta (4 hours) and Miami (2.5 hours). Nevis is accessible from St. Kitts via a ferry. Small cruise ships and ferries dock at Charlestown, from where it is easy to get a taxi to reach other island destinations. Guests flying directly into Nevis will arrive at the Vance W. Amory International Airport. Tradewind Aviation, for example, flies direct from Puerto Rico to Nevis. Another option is to fly to Antigua and fly with Tradewind Aviation to Nevis.
