Luxury Tribe Edit
What’s Next for Luxury Tribe — and What’s New This Week
Hi Friends,
Momentum is building beautifully, and I wanted to take a moment to share what’s ahead for us as a Tribe. In coming weeks, we’ll be unveiling the location and venue for Luxury Tribe 2026 (16-19 March) — a stage that will carry all our conversations and connections into the next chapter. And on 4th September, we’ll gather again for a special session on AI and Technology in Luxury Travel — an area that is shaping our industry in real time. Mark your calendars; the invitation will be with you soon.
As this vision comes alive, I want to thank each of you who has been sending strong referrals for participation. Every introduction strengthens not just the event, but the entire circle we are building together.
In the meantime, this week’s partner edit is close to my heart. It celebrates new launches and soulful experiences that our Tribe partners are unveiling this year — moments of creativity that will inspire the journeys you design next.
With warmth,
Sheetal Rastogi
Founder, Luxury Tribe India

In the very heart of the Eternal City, just a short stroll from the Spanish Steps and the exclusive shopping district, nestled in a small alley that leads to the Tiber River, once known as Vicolo del Melangolo, in 2018 a stunning luxury boutique hotel opened its doors for the very first time, offering a fresh and refined experience in Capitoline hospitality.
Perfectly located to capture the true spirit of Rome, Hotel Vilòn is an ideal starting point for exploring the city and getting lost in its charming ancient alleys, uncovering hidden corners and secret treasures. Within its beautifully restored historic walls, Hotel Vilòn features 17 exclusive rooms and suites—each one a carefully designed sanctuary of light, comfort, and elegance. From intimate, cozy spaces to uniquely styled suites, many rooms offer breathtaking, sun-kissed views over the private gardens of Palazzo Borghese, recognized by Sotheby’s in 1997. Some even boast private terraces for a more personal Roman escape. More than just a hotel, Vilòn offers a new take on luxury—where sophistication meets warmth, and every guest feels truly at home. With personalized service, refined interiors, and a distinctive atmosphere, it invites guests to not only fall in love with the property, but also to experience Rome in an entirely new light: authentic, intimate, and unforgettable.
During your stay at Vilòn do not miss “Adelaide Restaurant and In Salotto”, the elegant restaurant and inviting lounge bar, both named in honour of Princess Adelaide Borghese. Guests can indulge in a variety of tasting experiences, including a refined afternoon tea in an intimate, sophisticated atmosphere. Sink into plush armchairs and soft sofas as you savour homemade cakes, thoughtfully crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Andrea De Benedetto. For lunch and dinner, Executive Chef Gabriele Muro brings Mediterranean cuisine to life with seasonal menus and Roman classics, presented with fresh, modern twists. Every dish is rooted in authentic Italian flavour and executed with precision and creativity.

Octola
Octola II – The rarest invitation in the Arctic
Beyond roads and routine, an exclusive Arctic retreat for those who seek absolute privacy, profound peace, and untouched beauty.
A new chapter in the north’s most private story. In the far north of Finland, beyond the reach of roads and routine, lies Octola II – a new, exclusive Arctic wilderness retreat crafted for those who seek not just privacy, but peace.
A world where time slows down At Octola II, every detail is designed to restore. Guests breathe deeply, surrounded by untouched wilderness, pure Arctic air, and a silence so complete it feels almost sacred. It’s a place where families reconnect, celebrations find meaning, and the weight of everyday life dissolves without a trace. Many leave feeling lighter, younger, and quietly transformed – carrying with them a memory that feels almost otherworldly.
An invitation few will ever receive True to its discreet nature, Octola II remains entirely off the grid, accessible only by private transfer and exclusively through personal request. For those seeking something rarer than imagination allows, this is an experience to be lived.
Those interested may request to join a carefully curated waiting list – an invitation to a world few will ever know exists.
An extraordinary setting, every season of the year The all-new Octola II Lodge spans nearly 800 m2, offering five ensuite bedrooms, an in-house spa, a children’s playroom, gym, cigar lounge, staff quarters, and a Northern Lights-viewing area with glass ceilings and walls. The Octola II Supersuite Villa features two equally indulgent ensuite master bedrooms, each with its own sauna, bath, and outdoor hot tub – perfect for two couples or small families.
Every building at Octola II is designed to frame nature’s most spectacular displays, capturing the endless glow of the Midnight Sun in summer and the celestial spectacle of the Aurora Borealis on more than 200 nights each year. Every season here brings its own rare kind of magic and renewal.
Where memories belong to no one else Every moment at Octola II is created for those who appreciate the rare, the beautiful, and the quietly unforgettable.
Families, milestone celebrations, and intimate retreats will find this a place for memories that feel as though they belong to no one else.
Octola II welcomes its first guests on 1.12.2025.

Now Open – Masiya’s Camp at Royal Malewane
Safari in Full Colour – a unique tented experience at Royal Malewane by The Royal Portfolio.
We’re excited to introduce Masiya’s Camp – a striking new addition to Royal Malewane and a bold tribute to our guiding legacy in the Greater Kruger National Park. This elegant tented camp honours the late master tracker Wilson Masiya, whose deep bond with the land lives on through the next generation of guides and trackers.
A Classic Safari Reimagined Masiya’s Camp captures classic safari romance with Royal Malewane’s signature hospitality and attention to detail. Set above a dry riverbed, the camp’s six Luxury Tented Suites immerse guests in the sights and sounds of the African bush.
Luxury in Harmony With Nature Nature’s vibrant hues infuse every space. Green, ochre and gold flow seamlessly from the bush indoors.
Natural textures, soft light, and thoughtful details create a serene balance of comfort and wilderness, where the boundary between inside and out fades away.
Guided by Warmth, Grounded in Purpose Our team can’t wait to welcome you. There’s a gentle warmth in every smile, every welcome and every moment shared. Here, the generosity of African hospitality is woven into the rhythm of each day.
We look forward to welcoming you to this unique tented experience at Royal Malewane.
