ARCTIC ADVENTURE, LAPLAND
Copyright © 2014 Red Savannah Ltd
6
• Set in a stunning position 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, the arctic resort of Kakslauttanen is surrounded by magnificent, unspoilt scenery in the
wilderness of Finnish Lapland. Your private “village” of 24 pine log cabins is in the woods on the edge of the resort, and each cabin is built in a
rugged and traditional style which fits in beautifully with the natural woodland surroundings.
• Winter is the perfect time to be in Lapland when there are a few hours of crisp, bright winter sunshine in which to enjoy the great outdoors. The
short daylight hours create the ideal conditions to view the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).
• Spend the morning dog sledding or snowmobiling and after a field lunch in a specially erected Arctic tepee, spend the afternoon on the nearby
slopes, skiing or snow-boarding. Enjoy a traditional Finnish smoke sauna together.....before plunging into the icy pools outside.
• Spend your last night in a field of glass igloos lying on furs and looking up at the Northern Lights – the most wondrous natural light show of all
(hopefully – never guaranteed). Your log cabins are still at your entire disposal so your guests can hop back there to sleep if they prefer.
• For the highlight we would organise a fabulous party with drinks in a specially created ice bar, live music and fireworks exploding against the arctic
sky.

ST PETERSBURG, RUSSIA
Copyright © 2014 Red Savannah Ltd
8
• In an unrivalled setting opposite St Isaac’s Cathedral, St Petersburg's iconic Hotel Astoria is the epitome of aristocratic tradition, with an interior design
reflecting both its noble heritage and contemporary vision.
• The 188 rooms and suites have been carefully refurbished with modern facilities yet still reflect the grandeur and elegance of this golden age. The
hotel’s central location makes this the perfect venue for celebration parties of all sizes. Nearest airport is Pulkovo, a 30 minute drive away.
• Enjoy traditional afternoon tea in the hotel’s Rotonda Lounge or relax in the hotel’s wonderful spa. Within easy walking distance of the Astoria you’ll
find some of St Petersburg’s finest attractions, including the renowned Hermitage Museum which we can arrange to open up early, to enable you and
your party to see the Tsar and Tsarina’s exorbitant collection of treasures before the masses arrive. Enjoy an unforgettable ballet performance at the
world famous Mariinsky Theatre, also within walking distance.
• For the main event, we can organise a fantastic party with Cossack dancers in the opulent Yusupov Palace, where Rasputin was murdered, or if you
prefer, a brilliant winter party on ice, complete with some of Russia’s amazing professional skaters, in front of Tsar Paul 1st’s Palace at Pavlovsk.
Samovars will keep everyone warm and we’ll provide skates and Finnish sledges too. A fleet of horse-drawn troikas can then take you through the
snowy grounds of Imperial Park in true Dr Zhivago style.

PRIVATE
BARGES, FRANCE
Copyright © 2014 Red Savannah Ltd
12

every need. In Burgundy, cruise along the prettiest canals in France through the very heart of medieval towns, renowned vineyards and pretty

coastline before heading inland passing Roman fortifications, ancient villages and attractive vineyards.

excursions or explore independently on bicycles provided for everyone.

HOTEL RAYA, AEOLIAN ISLANDS
Copyright © 2014 Red Savannah Ltd
34
• Hidden away amidst the Aeolian archipelago lies the diminutive island of Panarea. On this exclusive island idyll, nestled amongst gloriously fragrant
bougainvillea, olive and lemon trees, you'll find the chic retreat of Hotel Raya, one of the hippest hotels in the Mediterranean.

ISTANBUL, TURKEY
Copyright © 2014 Red Savannah Ltd
36
• On the banks of one of the world's great waterways, the Four Seasons Hotel occupies a former 19th Century Ottoman palace on the Bosphorus
known as 'Atik Pasha‘, offering some of the finest luxury accommodation in the city and a refuge from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul's centre.
• The hotel has 170 immaculately-presented, bright and airy rooms and suites, overlooking glorious terraces and gardens, with the busy waters of the
Bosphorus beyond. Nearest airport is Istanbul Atatürk, approximately 45 minutes by car.
• In addition to probably the most photogenic swimming pool in Istanbul, there is a wonderful terrace on which to relax over a drink and watch the
river traffic and a superb hammam. Visit the Topkapi Palace, crown jewel of the Ottoman Empire, the Sultan Ahmet or 'Blue' Mosque, Hagia Sofia or
spend a few hours wandering among the 4000+ shops in the Grand Bazaar. We can arrange for the very best shopping guides to take you into all the
nooks and crannies of the amazing Grand Bazaar and exotic Spice Market or organise an amazingly spiritual, private visit to the ethereal Hagia
Sophia, which will open up specially for you before the crowds arrive.
• For the finale, why not recall the excesses of the Ottoman Sultans with an oriental celebratory party in an extravagant mansion on the shores of the
Bosphorus, or enjoy a fabulous private dinner aboard Halas 71, a 1914 converted steam ferry, as you cruise up the Bosphorus towards the Black Sea.

37
GULET CHARTER, TURKEY
Copyright © 2014 Red Savannah Ltd
38
• Set sail on one or more beautiful Turkish gulets and head off to explore the islands, secret coves and perfumed headlands of the Aegean Sea. Gulets
tend to have between 2-6 en-suite cabins, although there are a few slightly larger ones. Bigger parties can charter two vessels and cruise the
coastline in tandem, which can be great fun.
• A week on a gulet is a completely private, very relaxed and informal yacht charter. These roomy, coastal motor-sailors, traditionally crafted from
mahogany and teak are specifically designed to potter gracefully and in great comfort, rather than for speed, making them ideal for sea-dogs and
land-lubbers alike. The captain and crew are vital to the success of a gulet charter and the best ones are a delight to be with. Food will be prepared
to local Turkish recipes using fresh ingredients and it is hard to beat dining on deck, with a warm sea-breeze and a glass of raki, under a magnificent
canopy of stars.
• Relaxing in the extreme, during your time aboard the crew will take the strain and all you will need to do is decide whether to spend the day
swimming in the clear waters of the Aegean, enjoying a spot of snorkelling, canoeing or water-skiing, heading ashore to visit a Lycian ruin or seeing
if you can catch something delicious to grill for supper… And if you are keen for a night on the tiles, then a trip into Bodrum is always on the cards.
• For the main party, kick off your shoes on a private beach, and enjoy a fabulous dinner with belly dancing and Turkish music on the sand.
Afterwards, maybe swim back to the gulet through the glorious, phosphorescence-filled waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

wildebeest and cheetah.
