The Travel Insider- Travel Celebrations
WORDS: Phil Aird-Mash
When it comes to celebrating a milestone, whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or simply time well spent together, the setting matters. The most memorable trips aren’t always about doing more, but about choosing somewhere truly special, where you can fully immerse yourself in a world that feels a million miles away from the ordinary.
What better way to celebrate than by raising a toast under the magical northern lights? For a seriously special stay, set your sights on Octola Private Wilderness, one of the most exclusive hideaways in the world. The retreat is nestled within 1,730 acres of pristine wilderness in the far reaches of Finnish Lapland, though the exact location is kept tightly under wraps. Light pollution here is almost non-existent, so much so that northern lights researchers set up their station just five miles away. Along with admiring the aurora, you’ll have over 70 experiences
to try out, from salmon fishing
to snowmobiling.
Perhaps a romantic glamping adventure on the banks of Canada’s Vancouver Island is more your thing? Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge offers the perfect setting for a special occasion, with just 25 luxury safari tents nestled along the forest edge. The retreat’s refined yet rustic interiors, exceptional dining and immersive wellness experiences have earned it a Three-Michelin-Key-award, plus there’s a host of exclusive adventures on offer; try heli-hiking high above Clayoquot Sound or watching out for whales as you tuck into a gourmet picnic.
Finally, for a celebration with a tropical twist, The Brando in French Polynesia offers pure indulgence with a sustainable ethos. Once Marlon Brando’s private retreat, it’s now one of the world’s first ‘post-carbon’ luxury resorts. All-inclusive stays cover gourmet dining, daily spa rituals and guided experiences, from reef exploration to bird spotting, all enjoyed in complete privacy, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the South Pacific.
