Luxury travel has entered a new era. No longer satisfied with generic five-star
experiences, today’s high-net-worth (HNW) travellers seek private, exclusive, and
entirely bespoke journeys. They want more than just luxury—they want experiences
designed for them, reflecting their unique interests, values, and desires.
Welcome to the world of hyper-personalised itineraries, where AI meets human
expertise, and every journey is an extension of the traveller’s personality. That said
not many people know what Hyper Personalise Itineraries are or how it is reshaping
the luxury travel landscape and what it means for the future of mid-to-high-end
travellers.
1. What is a Hyper-Personalised Itinerary?
A hyper-personalised itinerary goes far beyond the traditional tailor-made trip. It uses
a combination of detailed client profiling, artificial intelligence (AI), real-time data, and
high-touch concierge services to create an experience so unique that no two
itineraries are ever the same.
For example, instead of just booking a private safari, we at The De Vinci Lifestyl
might design a wildlife experience where a client can track rare species with a
leading conservationist, followed by a gourmet dinner under the stars cooked by a
Michelin-starred chef. Every element is curated around the individual’s passions,
travel history, and lifestyle.
2. The Demand for Private and Exclusive Travel

before. Post-pandemic travel habits have cemented the preference for secluded
getaways, private aviation, and exclusive-use properties.
3. Private Villas & Boutique Buyouts –
Luxury travellers now opt for entire estates, castles, or boutique hotels to guarantee
exclusivity. Private islands like North Island in Seychelles or Isla Secas in Panama
cater to our luxury travelling individuals looking for complete seclusion.

The De Vinci Lifestyle clients no longer want standard museum tours. They want
after-hours access to the Louvre or a private dining experience inside the Sistine
Chapel.

spontaneous visit to a private vineyard estate can be arranged within hours.

our clients to participate in conservation projects, such as rewilding endangered
species.

ancestry, like private genealogical tours in Scotland or Italy, curated by historians and
local researchers.

exclusive yacht charter in the Mediterranean and this has grown significantly since
the pandemic
