The Art Of The Curated Escape: Behind The BlackList

A curated escape is not a list of flights and rooms. It is a sequence of thoughtful choices

that feel effortless when you travel. At Black List Escapes we design trips with care,

using trusted partners and real attention to detail, so your holiday feels considered from

the very first message.

What Curated Really Means

Curated means personal. We listen first. Your style, your pace, your wish list. Then we

design the journey around you. That can mean a quiet suite with a city view, a table that

catches the last light at dinner, or a sail date that sets up the perfect two night stay on

shore. Nothing is random. Everything is placed.

Why Access Matters

True luxury is often about access. We work with a network of hotel groups, cruise lines

and experience providers who share our standard of service. That includes premium

cruise partners such as Virgin Voyages, and hotel families like Hyatt Inclusive, Melia,

Palladium and H10. For all inclusive luxury we also draw on brands known for generous

dining and service. For tailored experiences we use trusted tour and excursion partners.

Three Ways We Curate

Athens in style. Check in to a city hotel with a roof terrace that looks across to the

Acropolis, then sail the islands for a few days before returning for a final night in the city.

Seaside and sail. Pair a Virgin Voyages sailing with a handpicked beach stay. Start

with two nights in a boutique hotel, board the ship for adults only fun, then end with a

calm day by the pool before the flight home.

All inclusive, elevated. Choose resorts that focus on dining quality, space, and

service. Think lazy mornings, long lunches, and sunset dinners you will talk about later.

How We Choose Our Partners

We look for service that feels natural, locations that make sense for your plans, clear

terms, and teams who care as much as we do. We keep notes on what guests love at

each property, which rooms feel peaceful, and which entry level options deliver strong

value.

Protected From The Start

Every booking is handled under Protected Trust Services. Your money sits safely in a

trust account until your trip is confirmed. It is a simple promise that gives you freedom to

enjoy the planning and pure confidence when you travel.

How To Brief Us

Tell us three things. Where you want to go, when you can travel, and how you want it to

feel. We will shape the rest and bring options that match your style and budget.

In Short

Curated travel is personal, connected, and protected. It is the calm that lets you be

present and the detail that makes a place linger long after you come home. That is the

Black List way.
