It’s our unique ability to unearth extraordinary experiences and gain private access to places and people that aren’t available to the general public.

At Panache World, we believe luxury travel is more than just booking the finest hotels or the quickest flights. For the evolved Indian traveller, true luxury lies in discovery. It’s about stepping beyond the well-trodden paths, experiencing moments most people only dream of. And that’s where our Curator’s Eye comes in.

It’s not just about knowing a destination; it’s about knowing the people who can unlock its deepest secrets.

A look into the Curator’s Eye

Think of it as our secret sauce. It’s our unique ability to unearth extraordinary experiences and gain private access to places and people that aren’t available to the general public. It’s about a deep, living exclusive travel network built on years of trust and mutual respect.

We’ve spent countless hours, trips, and conversations building these connections. Our team travels extensively, not just to see sights, but to meet individuals: local historians, master artisans, private estate owners, renowned chefs, and discreet guides. These are the people who truly hold the keys to a destination’s soul.

How do we build these deep connections?

It’s a personal process for us:

1. Local liaisons: We partner with exceptional individuals and families who have deep roots in their communities. They are our eyes and ears on the ground, understanding local nuances and cultural sensitivities that no guidebook can teach.
2. Years of nurturing: These aren’t one-off transactions. Our relationships are cultivated over many years. This allows us to build genuine trust, which is essential for gaining insider travel access to private homes, exclusive events, or off-limit areas.
3. Shared values: We only collaborate with partners who share our commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and unparalleled service. This alignment ensures that every experience you have through Panache World is of the highest quality and genuinely enriching.
4. Discretion and trust: Many of the unique opportunities we offer come with an understanding of discretion. Our partners trust us to bring discerning travellers who appreciate and respect the unique access they are granted.

The hidden gems we unveil for you:

So, what does this Curator’s Eye mean for your journey? It means your itinerary will be filled with moments that are genuinely bespoke and unforgettable. Here are just a few examples of the kinds of doors our global network can open:

• A Private evening in a Florentine palazzo: Imagine a discreet dinner in a historic family villa, hosted by the aristocratic owners, complete with stories of generations past. No public tours, just you and your companions.
• Meet the masters in Kyoto: Beyond the bustling workshops, engage in a private tea ceremony or ceramic art class with a multi-generational artisan in their secluded studio, offering a truly intimate glimpse into ancient traditions.
• Safari in a private African conservancy: Instead of busy national parks, explore vast wilderness areas exclusive to a few select lodges. Enjoy uncrowded wildlife viewing, private tracking safaris, and truly intimate encounters with nature.

• A culinary journey through rural France: Learn the secrets of regional cuisine directly from local grandmothers in their village kitchens, followed by a meal using ingredients foraged just hours before. This is an authentic immersion, not a tourist trap.
• Access to untouched Patagonia: Trek to hidden glacial lagoons or explore pristine forests with expert naturalists, far from the well-worn hiking trails, for an unparalleled sense of wilderness and exclusivity.
• Lunch with a historian in Simla:  Walk the mall road and enter discreet ‘members- only’ clubs in Simla with a historian who will weave stories for you that will bring to life even the most beaten down destinations.
