Curated Connections & Discovery
Vacation Rentals should be more than an online listing, they should be a luxurious respite and home for your tribe away from home.
Imagine gathering your favorite people in one extraordinary place. Our handpicked collection of luxury villas around the world is designed for families and friends who want more than just a getaway — they want to unplug, explore, and truly connect.
From seaside estates in the Mediterranean to tropical retreats in the Caribbean, each villa has been chosen for its exceptional setting, thoughtful amenities, and the space it offers for laughter, late-night talks, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. Whether it’s a milestone celebration, a holiday escape, or simply time together, we’ll match you with the perfect home away from home.
Because the most meaningful journeys aren’t about where you go — they’re about who you’re with.
Finding your perfect villa for connection is just a click away.
Journeys of Imagination
Some journeys deserve their own story. At Gilded Legacy Voyages of Distinction, we believe travel should be inspiring and personal. Our themed and special event journeys—by land or sea—are tailored to your passions and milestones. From exploring Virgin River filming locations to tracing the 2026 solar eclipse’s path from an exclusive vantage point, to bringing your historical romance novel to life, we create transformative experiences.
Every itinerary is bespoke—from inspiration to the final toast.
Custom Itinerary Design Fee: Jana, the owner of Gilded Legacy, takes great joy and time in crafting unique travel journeys that are beyond your imagination. Each journey’s detailed itinerary is handcrafted and quality vetted with the most highly reviewed suppliers, necessitating a non-refundable curation fee of $100 to begin the design process, reflecting the expertise and detail committed to your vision. Itineraries from 2-8 days will be provided. There will be an additional $25 fee per day added. Let’s craft something unforgettable. ✨
Featured Bespoke Adventures
San Juan & the Virgin Islands
Unpack Once. Indulge Always. Discover the British Virgin Islands and Beyond in Windstar Style. Step aboard your luxurious Windstar yacht in historic Old San Juan, where cobblestone streets and Spanish colonial charm set the tone for an unforgettable journey. Sail through the sparkling Caribbean, with a special focus on the breathtaking British Virgin Islands—think white-sand beaches, turquoise coves, and a pace of life that invites you to linger.
One day you’ll snorkel in hidden bays known only to seasoned sailors; the next, you’ll browse chic French boutiques or explore volcanic landscapes in secluded Montserrat. While larger ships dock far from the action, Windstar anchors close to the heart of each destination—including tiny, idyllic Jost Van Dyke—so you're always just steps from the experience.
And to make your journey seamless from beginning to end, we’ll curate a bespoke pre- or post-cruise escape tailored entirely to you.
Multiple sailings from October, 2025 - January, 2027 available.
