The Journal
Welcome to the latest edition of The Journal.
In this issue, we explore the ideas, destinations and people shaping the Hideaways world, from thoughtful conversations about how we choose to live today, to extraordinary travel experiences across Europe and Asia.
Discovering Japan's perfect balance
Further afield, award-winning travel specialists Far & Wild guide us through Japan's captivating contrasts, from the dazzling energy of Tokyo to the serene temples and traditions of Kyoto.
Racing the Riviera
On the Mediterranean, we step aboard classic yachts for Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez with Classic Charters, where historic racing boats and Riviera glamour meet under the Provençal sun - before retreating to the privacy of a Hideaways villa nearby.
Creating a home-from-home
Behind the scenes, our long-standing interior design partner Lucy Powles offers a fascinating insight into how Hideaways homes come to life. From sourcing handmade materials and working with local artisans to the practical details that make a stay effortless, she reveals how each property is designed to feel less like a rental and more like a true home-from-home.
Portugal made simple
In Portugal, My Simple Portugal invites travellers to experience the country through its people, sharing intimate moments of music, gastronomy and craftsmanship that reveal the deeper rhythm of Portuguese life.
We also visit Lisbon, the sunlit cidade, where history and modern energy co-exist beautifully - and the location of a future Hideaways home, perhaps...
Living well, now
We hear from Hideaways Member Gary Neild with his perspective on a growing shift in how people view wealth. Rather than preserving everything for later, more families are choosing to prioritise experiences, time and shared memories now - a philosophy that resonates strongly with life in The Hideaways Club.
A stay at Santisook
Earlier this year, Hideaways Member Robert Swartling travelled to the Land of Smiles with his family. Here, he shares some of the highlights from their stay at Santisook, Phuket, from favourite beaches and restaurants to the simple pleasures of villa life.
The next chapter
Now entering its 20th year, Auto Vivendi's collection, valued at more than £8.5 million and comprising 30 remarkable cars, continues to evolve with the arrival of three of the most significant new models from Lamborghini. The additions signal a new era in supercar engineering, where electrification enhances rather than replaces the visceral excitement for which the marque is renowned.
A gift of time in South Africa
We share a story that captures the spirit of the Club itself: how a Hideaways Member recently gifted time at Villa Steenberg in South Africa to support Wildlife ACT, a conservation organisation working to protect some of Africa's most threatened species.
Over the past twelve months, The Hideaways Club has celebrated one of its strongest years yet. Member demand has reached record levels, satisfaction is at an all-time high, and our flexible membership tiers are now fully in place, making it easier than ever to join, stay, upgrade or downgrade, and enjoy the Club for generations.
It is this combination of extraordinary homes, meaningful experiences and a global community of Members that continues to position The Hideaways Club as the world's leading fractional ownership club.
We hope this edition of The Journal inspires your next journey.
