Through the June Lens
This month’s update comes to you from Nina.
Hi Beautiful Friends,
I’m so happy to be back in your inbox this month while still very much on my slo-journey and currently soaking up the magic of Karijini here in WA.
Firstly, we have some incredibly exciting news to share, as we officially step into a new era with RAKxa Integrative Wellness and RXV Wellness Village - two of Thailand’s most exciting names in integrative health, wellness and medical retreats. Together, they bring a fresh and deeply intentional approach to luxury, while still offering an accessible option for clients seeking an easy wellness-led Bangkok escape. To discover more about both resorts and what makes them so special (with some personal insights from Tess’s recent experience), read our EDM here and get ready for lots more about this wellness icon.
Now onto the latest from the rest of our curated portfolio, all designed to help you convert enquiries, inspire new bookings and keep your clients travelling exceptionally well. As always, if we can support with pricing, itinerary ideas, VIP touches, FAMIL opportunities or simply help you close a booking, please reach out, we’re always here to partner with you. ❤️
RESORT CLIENT UPDATES:
DAIOS COVE: When mid-year burnout starts to bite, Daios Cove in Crete is the kind of reset worth knowing about. Home to KĒPOS by Goco, a 2,500sqm wellbeing sanctuary, the resort’s Integrated Recovery Destination combines diagnostics, regenerative therapies, movement and nutrition in one of Greece’s most spectacular coastal settings making it a compelling fit for CEOs, executives and UHNW clients in need of a meaningful reset. Please find press release here with more info on KĒPOS and to enquire for your clients travelling to Crete.
UGA RESORTS: The countdown is officially on, as next month, Uga Resorts' newest property, Uga Ghiri, will open in Ella, bringing a new style of luxury accommodation to one of Sri Lanka’s most spectacular regions. Set within a working tea estate overlooking the Nine Arches Bridge, the property will feature just 15 standalone villas - each with its own jacuzzi, alongside an infinity pool, old-world bar, spa and immersive experiences shaped around the landscapes and tea culture of the Hill Country. It’s the kind of place where clients can truly exhale; settling into the landscape, slowing the pace and surrendering to the quiet luxury of Sri Lanka’s Hill Country.
FAMIL OPP: We’re curating a highly exclusive Famil across the Uga properties in September - EMAIL US to register your interest in joining us.

GILI LANKANFUSHI: Set within the timeless barefoot luxury of Gili Lankanfushi Maldives, where life slows to the rhythm of the ocean and villas float quietly above crystal waters, every stay feels intentionally unhurried and deeply personal. Book your clients stay at least 30 days in advance and enjoy 25% off Best Flexible Rates, for stays of 3 nights or more, inclusive of daily breakfast - valid for stays until 21 December 2026. From family getaways to romantic honeymoon escapes, Gili Lankanfushi Maldives is the kind of place where every stay leans into a more castaway, Robinson Crusoe style. This is your invitation to secure the Gili experience ahead of time and step into island living at its most effortless.
SONEVA: Thirty years ago, Soneva challenged the conventions of luxury hospitality with a simple belief: that true luxury means freedom from the unnecessary, coupled with a duty of care. This month marks the next chapter in that journey; introducing Bare Luxury. Not a reinvention, but a distillation. The result of three decades of listening, editing and refining. As luxury travellers increasingly seek conscious, intentional and immersive experiences grounded in purpose, connection and wellbeing, Bare Luxury reaffirms Soneva's founding conviction that the most remarkable thing we can offer is not more, but truer. A philosophy centered on nature in its raw wildness, space for joy, presence and connection.
A snapshot on some Soneva updates:
Soneva.com has been reimagined with our new mood and is far easier for you to utilise in terms of information and experience.
We’ve replaced our brand centre with the new Soneva DASH, which is full of all new collateral for you to share across your channels;

SONG SAA PRIVATE ISLAND: Set within the untouched beauty of Song Saa Private Island, the new Saraan Sanctuary introduces a deeply immersive holistic wellness concept designed for true reset and reconnection on one of Cambodia’s most iconic private islands. LAST MINUTE OFFER: Clients can access 35% off all villa bookings made until 30 June 2026, for travel through to 30 September 2026, plus a complimentary upgrade to the next villa category (subject to availability on arrival) and a 60-minute spa treatment for stays of 3+ nights. A rare opportunity to position Song Saa not just as a stay, but as a meaningful escape your clients will feel long after they leave.
ZANNIER: We’re proud to share that Zannier Bãi San Hô has officially been accepted into Virtuoso, marking an exciting new chapter following its recent reopening and thoughtful enhancements across both product and guest experience. We recently hosted a webinar with the Zannier team to walk through these updates and reintroduce the property - if you missed it and would like the recording, please reach out and we’ll send it through. The team is looking forward to welcoming your clients to experience authentic Vietnamese culture in the “Bay of Corals.” Please get in touch to learn more or request a quote.
ANDRONIS: At Andronis Minois in Paros, a new intimate cooking class experience has just launched, designed as a semi-private, seat-based culinary journey for guests looking to go beyond the plate. The experience begins with a refined tasting of premium Greek specialities before guiding guests through a hands-on menu of classics including tzatziki, kopanisti, chargrilled vegetables, warm pita and lamb chops - a true immersion into the elegance of Greek gastronomy. Brochure attached for full details and pricing.
