Beyond Mr. Harper’s globe-trotting search for the world’s most exquisite hideaways, our Andrew Harper staff travels extensively to stay up-to-date on the latest news and developments from our partners. In this two-part series, they share a few favorite experiences they’ve collected along the way.
Island Hopping Tour at Azura Benguerra Island
“We went humpback whale watching, reef snorkeling and dune climbing, and ended it with a private lunch on a deserted part of the island. Azura Benguerra could also be a contender for 'Best Sunset.' There are always dhows sailing back from fishing right around then.” – Scott, Senior Web Designer
“You can watch the most beautiful sunsets at your own private part of the island (set up exclusively for you by the staff). The staff spoils you the entire time you are there. It was my birthday and they set up our dinner table at the other side of the island. While we were walking, there were ‘Happy Birthday, April’ drawings in the sand with flower petals on the path to our table.” – April, VP of Finance and Operations
“I stayed at Little Palm Island in October and loved it! It is very exclusive, remote and romantic. Dinner is on the beach either at sunset or at night where your table is lit by tiki torches and the light from the moon. An afternoon highlight was the kayak for two that we would take out looking for manatees and dolphins.” – Susan, Travel Advisor
Patara Elephant Farm in Chiang Mai, Thailand
“Patara Elephant Farm is a health-recovery and reproduction-management farm for elephants. It focuses on educating the public on elephants and threats elephants face. A trip to Patara consists of a hands-on-experience in which each visitor is given an elephant to take care of for a half-day or full day. This program is called 'Elephant Owner for a Day,' and activities include feeding the elephant, checking its health, bathing it, learning how to communicate with it, and ride it. All visitors, including children and people with disabilities, are welcome.” – Laura, Travel Advisor
"The high tea at The Lowell comes with homemade scones and strawberry jam." – Meta, General Manager
