Celebrate Life’s Big Moments
Together, in a Private Villa

Family reunions, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and friends’ getaways designed to bring people closer to each other and to the places they visit. Expert-vetted luxury villas, thoughtfully planned experiences, and local concierge support — all centered on meaningful time together.

What is a Celebration Vacation?

The Gift of Time Together

Celebration Vacations stem from a simple truth:
Everything is better together.

Private villas make this possible by bringing everyone together under one roof — with comfort, space, and ease.

Did you know? For group travel, villas are often up to 57% less than luxury hotels.

FOR CELEBRATIONS THAT DESERVE MORE

A Better Way to Be Together

We believe travel has the power to deepen relationships—when it’s designed around people, not itineraries.

Families, friends, reunions, milestone getaways—different groups, same goal.

Milestones matter.
Where you go matters.
Where you stay matters.

But what matters most is who you’re with—and the moments you share. The destination is the setting. The story is the connection you create—to the place, to the people you meet, and to each other. We help create these moments in the world’s most extraordinary places. A better way to be together.

Your Guide to Meaningful Celebrations

Meet Your Celebration Travel Guide

Hi, I’m Paul Partridge. I help families and friends plan villa-based Celebration Vacations centered on connection – with each other and with the places they visit.

I’m a writer, photographer, and family travel expert whose work has appeared in Forbes.com, International Living, and The Washington Post. Over nearly three decades exploring five continents, I’ve learned that the trips people remember most aren’t about seeing everything on a checklist – they’re about feeling connected.

We share what we’ve learned along the way, so your celebration benefits from real experience, not guesswork. My team and I specialize in matching the right group to the right place, then shaping a celebration that feels natural, relaxed, and deeply personal.
