Four Inspirational Adventures for a Late Summer Escape

A superluxe villa escape in Greece

It’s not too late to plan an idyllic late-summer ultra-luxury, villa getaway. Now that travel is well and truly back on, this is the perfect year to extend the long hot summer and indulge in a group getaway or private celebration. The Greek Islands remain a hugely popular destination for wellness travel, family getaways, romantic trips, and group celebrations. Jet Luxe and Cookson Adventures have access to an incredible selection of large, luxury and exclusive off-market villas across the Greek islands. These expansive open-plan properties are located on private estates with jetty access to exclusive-use beachfronts where you are only ever moments away from diving into the deep blue of the Mediterranean. Fully staffed with fabulous chefs, attentive hosts, and personal trainers, this is the perfect vacation to unwind and relax in utter seclusion. With one of these luxurious villas as your base, we can craft a summer adventure of island experiences from snorkelling in secret coves to exploring ancient sites only accessible by boat. Along the way, enjoy spectacular dining set ups in the most breath-taking locations and sunset beach parties, tailored to you, your family, and your group.

Exploring Norway’s west coast by explorer yacht

If adventure and secluded, rugged coastlines sound like the ideal antidote to your hectic life, then consider Norway’s spectacular west coast. Fly into Alesund on Jet Luxe’s Global 6000 and escape for a remote yachting expedition in this unspoilt part of northern Europe. With an explorer yacht, guests have the ultimate flexibility to explore “unchartered” territories, going where others simply can’t. One moment you could be relaxing on deck in the jacuzzi and the next taking a tender through a hidden fjord. With Jet Luxe taking care of your private jet travel, Cookson Adventures will craft an ultra-personalized itinerary of unique experiences from foraging with local chefs in the forests to beach picnics on deserted beaches. There’s plenty of active adventure included, from taking kayaks, paddleboards, E-Foils, and fishing boats along Norway’s maze of waterways, before going ashore to e-bike down the tallest rock face in Europe or explore on ultra-scenic hikes. With experts ranging from professional extreme sports athletes to ex-Norwegian Naval Special Forces expedition guides, the full potential of Norway’s remote fjords and towering mountain ranges opens up to become the ultimate outdoor playground for explorers.

Be at the edge of discovery with a sub diving experience across the Mediterreanean

If beaches, villas, and traditional luxury breaks are just not unique enough – then dive into history and discover a piece of it yourself. Having made a world-first discovery of a Roman shipwreck by submersible off Italy’s coastline, we know there is so much more to see beneath the waves in beautiful destinations such as Croatia, Malta and Italy if you know where to look. Travelling with an expert pilot in comfort as a group to depths otherwise near-unreachable, you’ll be able to take in WWII torpedo boats, underwater canyons and fumarole steam columns. There’s also everything to see up close from sharks and dolphins to octopus and damsel fish. Partner with archaeologists and marine biologists to bring the marine life and fascinating history of the wrecks to life in front of you – there’s even a chance to make new discoveries before you return ashore for some more traditional Mediterranean land-based adventures.

East Africa at its best

From July-to-October the annual wildebeest migration, one of the world’s greatest wonders moves through Kenya. It’s a natural, high-drama phenomenon as thousands of animals are taken by predators and thousands more are born, replenishing the numbers and sustaining the circle of life. Staying in the continent’s finest properties, you’ll enjoy the exclusive use of private conservancies. With a remote safari lodge as your base, you’ll head out on bush walks, horseback rides and quad bikes to search for great herds of game. There’s also walking with baboons, visiting anti-poaching tracker dog units and rage buggies on bush courses. With your private jet and a heli on hand for pioneering trips into the wilderness, take in remote tribes and genuine geographic wonders, before landing in the most breath-taking mountain locations for traditional sundowners.
