Description

Luxury isn’t about excess anymore. It isn’t the jam-packed itineraries, the bursting closets, or the endless noise. The new luxury is about sanctuary, authenticity, and quiet moments that actually restore you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what this shift means and why quiet, immersive travel will be your antidote to burnout in 2026 and beyond. We'll talk...

• How “hospitality as sanctuary” is redefining luxury travel and why fewer choices can actually feel more indulgent.
• Why authenticity is the ultimate form of access, and how insider moments matter more than tourist checklists.
•  What “quiet luxury” really means outside of fashion, and how you can weave it into your everyday life through simple rituals.
•  How I design my retreats in the French Riviera around depth, not distraction, so my guests can truly soften, reset, and be cared for.

By the end of this episode, you’ll see that true luxury isn’t about what you accumulate, it’s about how you live, slowly, intentionally, and beautifully.

Because luxury isn’t something you buy, it’s something you create.
