While we organize curated small group tours for like-minded travellers, a few of our discerning clients have entrusted us with organizing private group journeys designed exclusively for their circle - for milestone celebrations, multi-generational family reunions, association retreats and more. We are delighted to share glimpses of some of these special private journeys that we have organised in the last two years - the destinations explored, the special moments created, and the thoughtful touches that made them unforgettable.
The philosophy remains the same - to elevate the group's journey through personalised and intuitive services, and including curated experiences to makes the trip even more immersive and memorable. From privately guided explorations and cultural immersion, to exceptional accommodations and seamless logistics, each journey has been crafted to reflect the tastes and expectations of the guests travelling with us.
If you are considering travelling with your own private group - whether it is family, friends, or your closest circle, we would be more than delighted to design something truly exceptional for you.
Warm Regards,
Team Odyssey
A thoughtfully curated 3-day retreat to Khajuraho with an inspiring group of women, set against the timeless backdrop of the UNESCO-listed temples. This journey beautifully blended royalty and history - from staying at a magnificent Palace hotel, to exploring the iconic Khajuraho temples. The ladies soaked in the grandeur of ancient architecture, admired the intricate sculptures, and shared truly special moments together. Hosted at the magnificent The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace Khajuraho, a 350-year-old Bundela dynasty fort, the experience beautifully blended heritage, reflection, and meaningful shared moments.
A journey that seamlessly wove together heritage, spirituality, nature, and the joy of shared discovery.
We curated a milestone 50th birthday celebration in style, anchored by an elegant stay at The Oriental Jade Hotel & Spa, Hanoi. The journey unfolded as a seamless blend of culture and indulgence - from a full-day cruise across the stunning Ha Long Bay, to savouring authentic Vietnamese coffee and wandering the vibrant Old Quarter, with its labyrinth of narrow alleys and exceptional culinary gems.
The celebration culminated in a spirited birthday evening, as the girl gang embarked on a chic bar-hopping experience, dancing into the night to a live DJ - raising a toast to friendship, laughter, and a truly unforgettable milestone.
There’s a rhythm to Sri Lanka that lingers long after the red dust settles - a land of vivid contrasts, where jungle-clad mountains meet salt-sprayed shores, and ancient grace meets modern energy. For our circle of discerning women, this was more than a journey; it was a seamless dance between soul and senses.
Our time unfolded as a thoughtfully curated retreat, balancing warm island hospitality with deeply immersive experiences. This retreat was hosted at the Mosvold Villa, a charming boutique property in the coastal village of Ahangama. Overlooking the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, Mosvold Villa provided a relaxed, intimate setting for our guests who enjoyed having the entire villa to themselves with a complete buy-out for this retreat.
We left Sri Lanka with the scent of cinnamon on our skin, the beat of the drum in our hearts, and the enduring warmth of this circle.
We journeyed into the pristine, snow-laden landscapes of Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland, where winter revealed itself in its most enchanting form. Our stay was elegantly curated at Arctic Light Hotel and Northern Lights Village, seamlessly blending refined comfort with immersive Arctic charm.
Days unfolded in a world of hushed white beauty as we glided through forests on sled dogs and horse-drawn sleighs, and ventured across vast, untouched wilderness on snowshoes and snowmobiles.
From moments of indulgence to absorbing the stillness of the extraordinary northern snowscape - a thoughtfully balanced holiday experience.
We curated an intimate, exclusive retreat for a small circle of men at the stunning Alila Jabal Akhdar in Oman. This retreat blended adventure, camaraderie, and moments of serene relaxation. The journey offered a perfect balance of bonding and unwinding, set against the dramatic backdrop of Oman’s rugged mountains.
There is a kind of magic in the air when a group of women steps into a landscape as timeless as the boulder-strewn hills of Hampi. It’s as if the ancient granite whispers its secrets, and in turn, we find the space to whisper our own.
Our journey through the ruins of Hampi wasn't just a tour of history; it was an immersion into a living heritage. From the rhythmic chanting echoing through the Virupaksha Temple to the quiet, shared awe as we navigated the intricate stone carvings of the Vitthala Temple, we didn't just see the past - we felt its pulse. This retreat was hosted at the magnificent Evolve Back Hampi - a palace resort inspired by the Vijayanagara architecture. Crossing the Tungabhadra to Anegundi, the "Old World" energy took hold. Here, time slowed to the pace of the river. We found ourselves tucked away in ancient courtyards, where the laughter of the group became the music of the afternoons.
Until the next horizon.
There is a quiet transformation that comes from surrendering to the flow of the Brahmaputra. On this mighty, ever-shifting river, guests didn’t just move through a landscape - they softened into it. The ladies stepped onto the deck as individuals and stepped off as a sisterhood, bound by the rhythm of the water. The days were a tapestry of golden light and emerald green, woven together by the vibrant spirit of Assam.
Assam Bengal Navigation's, ABN Charaidew II was the home for our group of enthusiastic ladies - exclusively chartered for this special retreat on the river. As we cruised through changing landscapes, the experience became a seamless blend of comfort, discovery, and quiet awe.
We left the Brahmaputra with the silt of the river on our souls and the warmth of this sisterhood in our hearts. The river flows on, and so do we.
There is a haunting, cinematic beauty to Mandu & Maheshwar that stays in the heart long after the journey ends. It is a land of "Monsoon Palaces" and sacred currents - where the air is thick with the legends of poets and kings. For our small circle of women, this retreat was a step back into a refined, slower era of Indian history, where every meal was a ritual and every sunset a prayer. We began amidst the beautiful ruins of Mandu. Wandering through the vast, arched silence of the Jami Masjid and the romantic shadows of Roopmati’s Pavilion, we felt like taking a step back in time. In this city of stunning architecture and baobab trees, we didn't just walk through history; we breathed in the stories of a kingdom built for love and the arts.
We look forward to helping you plan your private holidays, your way - crafted with immersive experiences and unforgettable memories.
