For those looking for a more private escape, Le Collectionist has assembled an impressive portfolio of luxury rentals throughout Europe and beyond. Guests at Casa Julia in Portugal, for example, can experience the ultimate in barefoot sophistication, staying in a six-bedroom haven devised by Jacques Grange in the spirit of the revered French designer’s personal hideaway in nearby Comporta.

With each deluxe property—including a ten-bedroom villa in Marrakech by Studio KO and Jacques Garcia’s legendary Villa del Tempio in Sicily, featured in season two of The White Lotus—Le Collectionist can preplan thematic itineraries and arrange for top-tier personal chefs, fitness instructors, and more. There’s an option for every aesthetic preference, each an exclusive oasis unto itself.
