Where Does Your Next Story Begin?
Six destinations curated for transformation. Ultra-luxury sanctuaries where every detail honors your journey.
Six Destinations, Infinite Stories
Each destination has been chosen not just for beauty, but for the way it transforms those who visit. From desert towers to island silence, these are places where moments become memories.
Dubai
Where desert heritage meets soaring ambition
Beyond the towers and malls lies a city of contrasts—ancient souks whispering stories, private beaches offering sanctuary, and a culinary scene that rivals the world's best. Dubai rewards those who look beyond the obvious.
Maldives
The silence above water
Each island resort exists as its own universe—reached by seaplane, suspended above impossibly blue water, designed to help you forget that anywhere else exists. Here, days lose their edges and time moves by tide.
London
Where every street holds a century
Layers of history meet cutting-edge culture in a city that never stops evolving. From Mayfair townhouses to Shoreditch galleries, Michelin stars to hidden pubs—London rewards the curious with endless discovery.
Seychelles
Where granite meets ocean
Wilder than the Maldives, more dramatic than any Caribbean isle—these 115 islands scatter across the Indian Ocean like uncut gems. Jungle paths lead to secret beaches, and giant tortoises outlive generations.
Koh Samui
Thailand's serene escape
Thailand's third-largest island has managed what few can—maintaining tranquility while offering world-class luxury. Hillside villas look down on palm-fringed beaches, while spas channel ancient Thai wisdom into modern wellness.
Mauritius
The soul of the Indian Ocean
A cultural tapestry woven from African, Indian, French and Chinese threads—all set against volcanic peaks, sugar-white beaches, and coral reefs. This island nation offers both adventure and absolute tranquility in equal measure.
Sanctuaries Worth the Journey
Every property in our collection has been personally visited, vetted, and chosen for its ability to transform a stay into a story. These are not hotels—they are sanctuaries where moments become memories.
Soneva Jani
Suspended above turquoise silence
Each overwater villa exists in its own sphere of privacy, reached by boat and elevated above lagoons so clear you watch marine life pass beneath bedroom glass panels. Days unfold without agenda—mornings arrive through retractable roofs, afternoons drift between your private slide to the ocean and meals delivered by silent dhoni, evenings settle under more stars than you knew existed.
One&Only The Palm
Dubai's most secluded beach sanctuary
Reached by private boat from the Palm's west crescent, this low-rise sanctuary exists in deliberate contrast to Dubai's tower skyline visible across the water. Beach villas open directly onto private sand, while garden suites hide in layered greenery. The Guerlain spa channels Moroccan hammam traditions, and dining floats on pontoons at sunset—all just thirty minutes from the airport yet feeling like another country entirely.
The Connaught
Where British elegance meets modern mastery
This 1815 Mayfair institution has somehow managed to honor every tradition that matters while feeling utterly contemporary. Rooms blend classic British restraint with surprising modern touches—heated bathroom floors, rain showers, technology that disappears when not needed. Two Michelin-starred restaurants operate under one roof, the spa draws from both Eastern and Western traditions, and the location puts London's finest galleries, parks, and shopping within walking distance.

Khalid & Fatima A.
10th Anniversary · Dubai to Maldives
We've stayed at luxury properties around the world, but nothing prepared us for the level of care MIA arranged. From the seaplane transfer to the way staff remembered our preferences by day two, every detail felt intentional. Our overwater villa became our universe for six days.
Sarah M.
Solo Wellness Retreat · Koh Samui
I came alone, burned out from work, unsure what I needed. MIA's curator asked the right questions and placed me at Kamalaya—exactly the sanctuary my soul required. The healing programs, the hilltop views, the space to finally breathe. I returned transformed, not just rested.
Mohammed Al-K.
Family of 8 · Multi-Generational Trip
Traveling with parents, children, and grandparents requires someone who understands family dynamics. MIA arranged connecting villas at One&Only The Palm that gave everyone privacy yet kept us close. The kids club freed the adults for spa time, and every meal accommodated our preferences seamlessly.

💬 Message Us on WhatsAppHandpicked Sanctuaries
A small collection of stays we return to for our GCC families, couples, and celebration trips—chosen for how they feel, not just how they look online.
Soneva Jani
Barefoot privacy over a Maldivian lagoon
Overwater villas stretch into the lagoon, each set far enough apart that you feel completely on your own. Mornings start with sea life moving beneath the glass floor and coffee on your private deck while children race to the water slide. Evenings are for stargazing at the outdoor cinema or raiding the chocolate room. We recommend Soneva Jani when you want to disappear from the world without sacrificing space, service, or playful details.
Signature Moment
Your MIA curator requests a villa with glass floor panels so you wake to stingrays and reef sharks drifting quietly beneath your bed.
Indicative nightly rate from USD
A MIA favourite for honeymoons and multi-generational escapes.
Burj Al Arab Jumeirah
Dubai’s most iconic all-suite hotel
Rising from its own private island, Burj Al Arab is the hotel many of our GCC guests grew up seeing on the Dubai skyline. Every suite is spread over two levels, with sweeping Arabian Gulf views and a butler on call. The experience is unapologetically theatrical: a soaring atrium, gold accents, and service that anticipates what you need. We send guests here when they want Dubai at its most iconic for a concentrated, celebratory stay.
Signature Moment
Crossing the private bridge at sunset, then being welcomed in the atrium with Arabic coffee while your butler completes check-in on your behalf.
Indicative nightly rate from USD
Best for short celebration stays and first-time visits to Dubai.
The Connaught
A quiet, assured Mayfair landmark
In the heart of Mayfair, The Connaught feels more like a private club than a hotel. Staff remember your preferences between visits and handle London’s pace so you don’t have to. Suites mix classic wood panelling with contemporary art; outside, you are steps from Mount Street, Hyde Park, and the city’s best shopping. We recommend The Connaught for guests who want London refined and walkable, with service that quietly fixes every friction point.
Signature Moment
Afternoon tea in Jean-Georges followed by an Aman Spa treatment, returning to a suite already set for evening with your favourite amenities in place.
Indicative nightly rate from GBP
Often chosen by MIA guests for family city breaks and discreet business stays.
North Island
An eleven-villa private island for true escape
North Island is a Seychelles hideaway for when you want the island to feel as if it belongs only to you. Villas are vast, open to the breeze, and tucked between granite boulders and jungle so you see almost no one unless you choose to. Days move between the beach, guided walks, and conservation activities; nights are for long dinners under the stars. We suggest North Island for complete privacy, buy-outs, and once-in-a-lifetime celebrations.
Signature Moment
Your villa host sets a sunrise breakfast on your stretch of beach as giant tortoises wander past and the island slowly wakes around you.
Indicative nightly rate from USD
Ideal for buy-outs, honeymoons, and privacy-first families.

What Travelers Actually Say
Short, honest notes from real trips. Not polished. Not scripted.
Some reviews are lightly edited for clarity, never for meaning.
Aisha & Kareem A.
Honeymoon · February 2025
first time in maldives, we just stared at the villa for 10 minutes like, is this real? sunset check-in was insane. staff already knew it was our honeymoon, room had flowers, qibla marked, everything.
Fatima A.
Family Trip · December 2024
we traveled with 3 kids + my parents. normally chaos. this time? smooth. halal food easy, stroller ready, connecting rooms like we asked. my mum wants to go back before next eid.
Rashid & Sara Q.
Anniversary · October 2024
not gonna lie, i booked late. thought we'd get a basic room. somehow ended up in a suite and a tiny cake with our names waiting. london felt cozy instead of hectic.
Layla H.
Solo Retreat · March 2025
went to hide and write. no one bothered me unless i texted. wifi good enough for calls, weak enough that i actually wrote. tortoises > therapy.
Mohammed K.
Business + Leisure · January 2025
meetings all day, zero energy to plan anything. mia turned my "maybe i stay extra night" into a full chill weekend. good mix of halal restaurants + walking distance stuff.
Noor S.
Wellness Retreat · November 2024
booked because i was burnt out. left actually sleeping without melatonin for once. schedule was spa, sleep, light emails, repeat. they nailed the vibe i asked for on whatsapp.
Daniel & Maya L.
Friends Getaway · August 2024
we're normally diy travelers. this time we let mia control everything. zero drama. flights lined up, seaplane not rushed, villa better than photos (rare). still talking about that slide.
Priya R.
Sisters Trip · March 2024
wanted "over the top dubai" for my sister's birthday. got exactly that. fountain show from our room, late check-out, club table sorted. only regret is not staying one more night.
Omar & Lina M.
Eid Break · April 2024
kids in the pool from 9am, we were at breakfast in peace. eid prayer nearby, staff wished us eid mubarak all day. small thing, but felt seen.
James T.
Solo Reset · January 2025
i asked for "no loud honeymooners pls" and they actually listened. quiet corner of the resort, sunrise side. price hurt, but brain finally shut up.
Chen & Wei L.
Family Holiday · July 2024
london with teens is usually arguments. this trip had zero fights somehow. hotel location was perfect, everyone could walk to what they wanted. we just met back for dim sum.
Sofia & Leo G.
30th Birthday · May 2024
i turned 30 with a beach to myself. no loud music, no random people. chef made pasta at 11pm because i randomly wanted it. felt very spoilt.
Ahmed A.
Quick Escape · September 2024
booked 4 days before, thought it was impossible. desert was empty, sky full of stars, no city noise. only issue: too short.
Hannah P.
First Time in Dubai · November 2024
thought dubai would be "fake". it wasn't. or maybe mia just chose the right bits for us. waterpark with kids in the day, nice dinners at night, nothing felt stressful.
Yusuf & Mariam D.
Family Stay · August 2024
we travel with 2 under 5, so expectations are low usually. kids club here? unreal. they disappeared, we actually had coffee while it was still hot.
Tom & Aiko S.
City Break · October 2024
hotel felt old money in a good way. mia somehow got us a table at a restaurant that was "fully booked" when we checked. glad we didn't try to do this ourselves.
Nadine K.
Work From Beach · March 2025
spent 10 days working from maldives. zoom was fine, sunsets were better. mia made sure the villa had a proper desk + good coffee machine. little things matter.
Carlos M.
Couples Trip · June 2024
views stupidly beautiful. service calm, not fake smiley. would book with them again, no question.
Zainab & cousins
Cousins Trip · July 2024
group of 7, all with opinions. somehow itinerary worked for everyone. malls, beach, desert, shisha... no one complained. miracle.
Viktoria S.
Girls Trip · February 2024
loved the hotel, staff were stars. transfer from airport took longer than i thought because of traffic, wish i'd listened when they said land earlier. otherwise flawless.
Ali & brothers
Siblings Trip · May 2024
asked for "nice hotel, not too showy". got exactly that. only thing i didn't love was the breakfast queue one morning, but they comped coffee so fine.
Laila & cousin J.
Last Minute · January 2024
booked super last minute during high season, fully expected chaos. instead we got smooth flights + an upgrade. wifi a bit slow but honestly that was a blessing.
Jonas & Emma R.
Honeymoon · September 2024
we gave mia a pinterest board and a budget. they turned it into an actual trip. zero corny honeymoon stuff, just really good views and privacy.
Reem H.
Weekend Reset · October 2024
24 hours in the desert felt longer than a week off in the city. quiet, good coffee, nothing scheduled except our own plans. i came back less snappy, according to my team.
Patrick O.
Business Trip · March 2024
normally i just let the company book. this time i used mia. difference was crazy. late check-out, quiet room, proper desk, car waiting every time. zero email drama.
The Saeed Family
Multi-Gen Trip · August 2024
we had grandparents, teens, toddlers. usually a nightmare. they split us across two hotels that worked together, transport in between. no one felt forgotten.
Noura & Huda S.
Sisters Weekend · May 2025
wanted spa + shopping, nothing complicated. they sent three options, we picked one and that was it. no 20 emails back and forth. felt very looked after.
Mark D.
Anniversary · April 2024
yes it's expensive. yes it's worth it. they timed everything around weather so we didn't miss a single sunset boat ride. felt like someone was quietly adjusting things in the background.
Farah & Sami L.
Family Holiday · December 2024
kids still talking about the aquarium and slides. i liked that our room was actually quiet at night. small touches like warm milk sent up for the baby = big deal.
Elena K.
Solo City Break · January 2025
i travel a lot for work and i'm picky. this trip felt... easy. good location, late-night room service that wasn't sad, and a proper bath. only complaint: i had to leave.
Khalid B.
Quick Break · June 2024
planned everything over whatsapp voice notes. they understood i didn't want activities, just sea + sleep. exactly what i got.
Linda C.
Mother-Daughter Trip · July 2024
honestly, no notes. flights on time, driver on time, room ready early. my mum hates travel days and she actually smiled this time.
Yusuf A.
Repeat Guest · February 2025
second time booking through mia, third trip with them. they remember what i like (quiet room, firm pillow, late breakfast). feels like cheating on other agencies tbh.
