A true partnership

“It’s wonderful to have such a strong relationship with our dedicated go-to person, who is always available and really can make anything happen.” – SDP member

Unrivalled access

“New to SDP this year: Bulgari Resort Bali is an idyllic all-villa property, perched on a secluded plateau near Uluwatu on the Indonesian island’s southwestern shore. Its cliffside location makes for an unbelievable dining setting, and booking with us means easy access to everything – from open-air lunch at the best ocean-view table to private cooking classes with top chefs, plus unique Balinese experiences. We recommend the Melukat purification ceremony, a ritual to cleanse body and soul, which takes place in the resort’s temple and is led by a local priest.” – Jean Tay, Private Relationship Manager

Anticipate your needs

“We love the personal attention that makes sure the holiday is right for my family. Having that experience of what we like really matters and makes planning so much easier.” – SDP member

Masters of multi-gen trips

“Our most-recent trip with SDP (we’ve been using them for 20 years!) was a fantastic circuit, starting in Anassa in Cyprus – a beautiful village-like resort, which was relaxing for everyone – followed by Egypt. SDP made it all very easy for us, providing a standout guide who bent over backward to make sure the kids were engaged. He knew everything and everyone, so we could skip every queue and get to see Tutankhamun before the crowds.” – Abbey Kirkwood, SDP member

Trust in our expertise

“Working with people who really know what we like and are familiar with our travel history, we trust they will look out for us and handle any issues that could arise during the trip.” – SDP member

Book before it’s too late

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: book in advance to avoid disappointment. We’ve found that our SDP members’ top bucket-list destinations – like Botswana, Rwanda, Chile, Japan, New Zealand – already have very limited availability in 2025, especially for anyone looking to book the very best accommodation and insider guides. So if you’re keen to travel to your dream destination next year and experience something that’s perfectly tailored to you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. The same applies for the most-sought-after beach resorts in the Caribbean and the Maldives; flights rise every day and peak-season availability becomes scarce. Let us make your dream a reality.” – Jules Maury, Head of SDP

Gadget to go

“This nifty magnetic hat clip will keep your headgear safely attached to your bag, so you can walk hands-free – without misplacing your favourite accessory. Trust us, it’s a game-changer!” – Julie Durso, Private Travel Manager
