Remote Lands | Bespoke Travel

Our Difference

Overview | Special Services | How We Work

Only Asia

Asia is our passion and our sole focus. We are authorities on the twenty top travel destinations in Asia. Our clients select us for precisely this reason: they want a true Asia specialist, a company that understands the region in great depth.

Only Bespoke

We do not do group tours or fixed dates itineraries. All Remote Lands travel is tailor-made for couples, families or small parties of friends travelling together. Bespoke travel is not just a part of our business; it is ALL of our business.

Only Luxury

We are extremely focused, and we handle only the highest end of the market. Our clients stay in the most sumptuous accommodations and have the very best of everything. Please see our Special Services section for more information on the services we can provide — but basically, the sky is the limit.

Private Jet Charters

Private aviation in Asia is one of our specialties, and about 30% of our clients fly privately. If you do not wish to fly all the way from home on a private jet, we offer the very cost-effective alternative of picking up your jet in an Asian hub city, and flying privately only within Asia.

Extraordinary Service

We are a boutique firm, and we take on only a small number of clients. We get to know our clients very well, and we give each one of them an enormous amount of time and personal care. They are very busy people, so we arrange everything for them in advance and ensure that they are "instant insiders" in each destination, and that they waste not a moment of their precious leisure time. Please do not hesitate to call us on our cell phones seven days a week — we are always happy to hear from you!

Extraordinary Experiences

We specialize in providing creating magical experiences that are unique, difficult to arrange and not possible for larger groups or en masse. Based on your own specific hobbies and passions, we design one-off activities such as access to famous artists, athletes, doctors, musicians, architects, authors and other important people and places in Asia. Here are some examples:

Sword collector met one of Japan's most notorious master sword-makers, considered a living legend in his country

Art collector met one of China's most renowned artists well known in international art circles

Architect taken on insider architecture tour of Singapore with important local architect

Jewelry dealer invited to dinner in home of internationally famous jeweler maker in Bali

We are able to do this because: (a) we have many close and highly influential friends around Asia (b) we take on only a small number of clients (c) we spend a considerable amount of time on each of our clients (d) our clients are remarkable people, so our (equally remarkable) friends are quite interested in meeting them.

But it is not just the privileged one meets when travelling with Remote Lands. We introduce our clients to a wide range of people from all walks of life - from monks to maharajas, nomads to nobility, farmers to financiers. And as exciting as it is to dine with royalty in their palaces, it is often the time spent in tribal homes, schools and monasteries that is ultimately the most uplifting and enlightening.
