The only thing better than surfing the waters off the coast of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula is shredding under the expert guidance of Shane Dorian. The legendary American surfer will help you master the waves during a four-day stay at the Casa Chameleon in Las Catalinas. After hanging 10 in the hands-on surf sessions, you can fully unwind in the five-star luxury hotel by enjoying a massage or facial in the comfort of your villa or soaking in your private infinity pool. You could even take a leisurely horse ride on the beach to enjoy the waves in a different way.
Explore Indonesia’s Coral Triangle by Private Charter

The best way to explore the far-flung waters of Indonesia is on one of the country’s traditional phinisi sailing ships. On this nine-night adventure, the 148-foot Celestia will take you and nine friends on a private tour of the world-famous Coral Triangle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site brimming with more than 600 types of coral and 2,000 species of fish. The experience includes a three-night stay at the five-star St. Regis Bali, four nights on the handcrafted ship, two nights in the latest luxury hotel to open in Labuan Bajo, Ta’Aktana, and some private jet trips in between.

A surefire way to step up your cocktail game is to learn to shake and mix from the best. During this cocktail masterclass, Dante’s owner-mixologist Linden Pride will teach you and your 11 friends the secrets to making a top-shelf tipple. The Australian knows a thing or two about a good drink, with his New York watering hole topping the list of the World’s 50 Best Bars in 2021. You and your crew can meet Pride at one of Dante’s two Manhattan outposts or the Beverly Hills location. You’ll leave with some pre-bottled cocktails from Dante’s in-house range, too.

Any traveler can see Egypt’s pyramids, but only you and your lucky companion will be given a behind-the-scenes tour of several of the country’s greatest monuments on one trip. A private guide will take you to tombs in Giza and the Valley of the Kings that are only open to VIPs, one of the country’s top Egyptologists will show you areas of the Sphinx that are off-limits to the public, and curators will treat you to an after-hours tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum. The 11-night experience also includes stays in Egypt’s finest five-star hotels and a luxurious overnight cruise on the Nile.

Glamping in Greenland’s Fjords is sure to be more memorable than a stay in an average five-star hotel.

You and your crew will sleep in lavish heated domes, enjoy tasty meals from a private chef, and unwind with soothing massages. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to partake in thrilling adventures, from kayaking and heli-skiing to icebergs and whale watching. Seasoned guides will also take you to the largest ice sheet outside Antarctica to see the breathtaking glaciers, while wildlife experts can show you some of the incredible native animals. Who needs a hotel?

You may already own a couple of sculptures, but now you can make one, too. Gallerist Ralph Pucci is inviting you and up to seven friends to his headquarters in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood for a hands-on class in sculpting. A live model will be on hand to inspire clay creations, while a master sculptor will be there to provide all the guidance you need. The studio will fire the clay objet d’art on your behalf and then deliver it to your home in just a few weeks. You’ll be offered refreshments throughout the class, naturally. You can enjoy a private gallery tour, too.
