UPCOMING TRIPS
EXPLORE
Mountains, lakes, and the Adriatic coast done properly.
Montenegro's small but striking - wild mountains, clear lakes, old stone towns, and a coastline that's effortlessly Mediterranean. Over eight days we'll move from lake country through the high peaks of Durmitor, finishing on the water in the Bay of Kotor.
Hikes, swims, boat days, incredible local food, and enough time in each place that it never feels rushed.
Limited to 14 people
EXPLORE
Stone cities, canyon rivers, and the Ionian coast.
Albania's still under the radar and full of surprises - UNESCO towns, mountains that drop into the sea, turquoise coves. Over eight days we'll wander through Ottoman streets in Berat and Gjirokastër, swim in crystal-clear springs, explore ancient ruins, and slow down properly on the Ionian Riviera. Hikes, boat days, long lunches, and plenty of time to just be.
Limited to 14 people
SLOW STAY
Four nights in a beautiful villa in Italy's under-the-radar Le Marche region. Slow mornings, sunshine afternoons, and evenings shared over incredible food and wine.
This is The Stay Collection at its best: one beautiful place, the right pace, and a small group you’ll genuinely enjoy spending time with. Swim, unwind in the hot tub, play padel, wander the hills, or do absolutely nothing at all.
A few days that feel like pressing pause without switching off.

Travel looks different now, but the options out there still feel built for a past version of us.
We grew up with mix tapes, MSN chat and watching Friends on the telly. We're resilient, we're fun, and honestly? We're ready for a bit of down time!
The travel industry hasn't caught up with where we actually are in life. So we built something that has.
Travel as a 30 - 49 year old, just got a whole lot more interesting!
Trips designed for how we actually want to travel now.
We're past dorm rooms and pub crawls. Not quite ready for river cruises. And we definitely don't want to spend our precious annual leave planning a trip that needs another holiday to recover from.
These trips move at a human pace - designed to help you properly experience a place, not just pass through it. Beautiful scenery, brilliant food, small groups… but without the pressure to be “on” the whole time or the sense you’re racing to tick things off.
Whether you choose a Slow Stay or an Explore trip, the pace stays the same: thoughtfully planned, never rushed. The best experiences, the right amount of adventure, and plenty of space to actually enjoy where you are.
Sometimes you need a break from being the version of yourself that's got it all sorted. The one at work, at home, the one everyone relies on.
A break from being the organised one.
The one at work, at home, the one who keeps everything moving.
A trip where you can come with a friend or come solo - and either way, it feels easy.
Without faking it. Pressure free. Just brilliant people, beautiful places, and space to actually relax into it.
Just brilliant company, beautiful places, and permission to be exactly who you are right now.
Experiences without the overwhelm
See the world, have wonderful experiences, meet new people at a similar life stage, without needing a holiday from the holiday
Connection without cliques
It’s not just about the places you go; it’s about the people you meet along the way. That’s why we keep our groups small (max 14)
Structure without rigidity
Each route or stay location has lots of activites included, yet plenty of time for 'me time' + you'll have the chance to add further options, if you wish
Travel that feels special, not stressful
We get it, some group trips are go, go, go. We believe in the balance between exploring, letting our hair down and chill time
Your
It Started With Moment
Everyone travels for their own reason. Whatever brought you here. This is where your it started with moment begins.
It Started At The Table
Some of the best trip plans start over dinner.
Good food, interesting people, decent chat.
Our sip & supper club series brings together people who love travel as much as we do. Each drinks gathering, or dinner is inspired by a destination we love, hosted in bars and restaurants across London.
