Ultra-Luxe

At Remote Lands, our handpicked special experiences offer unparalleled access to Asia’s hidden gems. From private dinners among the ruins of Angkor to exclusive evenings with Geisha in Kyoto, each experience is meticulously curated to provide unique, unforgettable moments. 

Our deep local connections and expertise ensure that these extraordinary opportunities, often inaccessible to others, seamlessly become a part of your journey, allowing you to explore the continent in ways previously unimaginable.

Unrivaled access to Asia’s finest characterizes our approach to travel, be it hidden away retreats, highly exclusive experiences, or seamless, personalized service. 

Have the freedom to explore the very best of this diverse continent, from Maldivian atolls to Himalayan peaks, while we handle the details in the background. No matter how complex, we can make it happen. 

Every journey is designed with your utmost ease in mind. From opulent accommodations like overwater bungalows and converted former palaces to private jets and helicopters, we ensure every aspect of your travel meets the highest level of comfort possible. Indeed, even in the most far-flung corners of Asia, we operate on a ‘best available’ ethos, with each hotel personally vetted by our local team.

Great care is taken to ensure the best routing, flow, and pacing for your journey. If taking a helicopter allows you to experience more and cut out transfer time, we’ll arrange one. Similarly, if a private jet lets you explore a remote area inaccessible through commercial travel, we’ll make it happen. Our seamless, behind-the-scenes service handles all logistics, allowing you to relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of Asia.

Remote Lands was founded with a singular mission: to focus exclusively on Asia, avoiding the pitfalls of spreading ourselves too thin and offering generic experiences. The continent of Asia we serve is a contrasting and ever-evolving landscape, ranging from the snow-crowned Southern Caucasus to the low-lying riverlands of Papua New Guinea. It has taken decades of exploring, living, and working here to unearth its hidden depths.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the many friends and partners we’ve made along the way. They have helped enrich our understanding and enabled us to offer what we believe is the finest curation of immersive, authentic, and exceptional travel experiences available on the continent. For those of us at Remote Lands, Asia has become our story, our obsession, and our expertise. 

Whether it's a private dinner among the ruins of Angkor, an evening with Geisha in Kyoto, a champagne brunch overlooking Mount Everest, or luncheons with Bhutanese royalty, our on-the-ground connections and deep local knowledge grant access to authentic encounters that transcend the usual traveler experience.

Special access is a cornerstone of Remote Lands' ultra-luxe travel philosophy. During the course of your travels, you may meet many interesting people, from private audiences with local artisans in their workshops to master sushi chefs and published experts in local art. We like to ensure that each journey is unique to you, always enlightening, and far beyond the ordinary.
