Luxury Holidays Off-The-Beaten-Track Had enough of packed beaches and mass tourism? Are you longing for faraway and untouched places? Then this is something for you, luxurious and entertainment filled vacations with a natural twist. Luxury travel specialist Global Nomad has launched a range of off-the-beaten-track tailor-made trips to Asia’s undiscovered paradise, The Philippines. Global Nomad gives discerning travellers access to places and experiences that they might not be able to discover on their own, including visits to the remote and pure islands of Batanes, the stunning rice terraces of Banaue, the Spanish heritage town of Vigan and the spectacular white sand beaches and karst cliffs of Palawan to name a few.
“We customize each of our tours for small groups only, and seek out charming and unexpected locales with a strong sense of place, and we make them lavish and unforgettable,” says philanthropist founder Angelica Berrie. “Beyond plasma Tvs, our passion is creating meaningful experiences and authentic encounters with the local environment and culture. Quality, not quantity, is our motto. We spend a considerable amount of time ensuring the enjoyment of every individual. Wherever we go, we connect our guests with local people and places, which are the heart and soul of our island experience.”
Based on the clients’ interests and needs, outdoor experiences can range from rock climbing, trekking, hiking and diving at world-class dive sites, such as the famous Japanese wrecks of Coron and the Tubbataha Reef. Other rare and memorable experiences include dining barefoot under a full moon, watching the sun set from the sand dunes of Ilocos, joining fisherfolk hauling in their nets and feasting on fresh-caught fish off banana leaves.
Global Nomad is committed to protecting local culture and works closely in partnership with local communities to support environmental conservation and sustainable development. They help farmers and fisherman to set up organic farms, providing equipment and expert guidance. Furthermore, they ensure that donations directly benefit the intended recipients, and they maintain contact with donors to let them know how the donations are received.
Global Nomad is currently offering a long luxury weekend getaway, the Palawan Ultimate Weekender. The lavish trip offers accommodation in water cottages on stilts at a leading 5-star resort, gourmet cuisine and a private charter flight from Manila, as well as VIP “fast track” through airports. Based on double occupancy, the weekender is priced at US$1,588 per person and available until October 31.
