Group Trips Worth Planning
These are the kind of places you send to the group chat without a plan attached. You can feel the trip before it exists, and that feeling is what gets everyone moving.
Three Places That Get It Right
The trips that stay with us are built on a few essential things: strong options, food that reflects the place, and an environment that settles you the moment you arrive.
The rest follows naturally, offering comfort that makes rest easy, culture that shows up in the details, and enough nearby adventure for when curiosity kicks in.
These places carry that balance. They let everyone move freely while staying connected. The kind you’ll want to revisit and share when someone finally says, “Let’s go on vacation.”
Morocco
Craft, contrast, and sensory immersion
Morocco, and Marrakesh in particular, is immediately immersive. Days can unfold in the medina and surrounding markets, immersed in craftsmanship and motion, then shift outward to the quieter landscapes beyond the city.
This is a country where craft is part of daily life. In every region, you encounter handmade pieces that change how you think about your home. Rugs you build a room around. Leather jackets and boots cut and sewn by hand. Scarves woven in open workshops, where the process is visible and unhurried.
One way the experience works especially well is staying just outside the medina, within easy reach of the city. You can step into the energy, wander the markets, and watch artisans at work, then return to a villa where tea is poured slowly, meals arrive with care, and the pace resets.
Morocco rewards attention. The more you notice, the richer it becomes. And it almost always leaves you planning a return.
Villa we would choose here
Dar Challa, Marrakesh
A refined retreat just beyond the medina, offering calm, privacy, and space to reset between days spent immersed in the city.
Turks and Caicos
Water, openness, and room to move
Turks and Caicos rewards return visits. Its beauty is calming, but there’s still enough texture to keep the days interesting.
The water anchors everything. Clear, expansive, and grounding. Some days are meant for staying close to the villa and letting time pass without structure. Other days invite you out. Snorkeling along the barrier reef. Deep sea fishing. A sunset sail. Evenings that end with live music drifting through the air.
What makes Turks and Caicos work so well for groups is choice. No one has to do everything together for the trip to feel shared. People can move independently and reconnect naturally, without friction.
Villa we would choose here
Emerald Bay, Turks and Caicos
A relaxed, coastal home designed for ease, with access to both quiet beach days and water-based adventures.
Lake Como
Beauty, balance and quiet confidence
Lake Como is a study in contrast. Mountains rise from the water. Grand villas and small towns share the shoreline.
Lake Como is experienced through its towns and landscape. Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio offer walkable streets, thoughtful food, and views that shift throughout the day. Time on the water becomes a natural part of moving through the area. Beyond the lake, nearby towns, vineyards, and countryside are close enough for a day out, with Milan offering a change of pace before returning to the calm of the water.
Villa we would choose here
Villa Musa, Lake Como
A private lakeside villa overlooking the water, offering space, comfort, and a front-row seat to one of Italy’s most enduring landscapes.
