Luxury
The properties we put at the top of the list when budget is not a constraint.
Every resort on Velara has been visited and vetted, but a handful of them sit at the very top end of the country's offer: properties where the staffing ratio, the dining programme, and the villa size cross from generous into private-residence territory.
These are the names we send to honeymooners with no upper bound, repeat guests who have outgrown their previous favourite, and clients flying privately. Pricing scales with the experience and we are honest about where the marginal pound buys real difference.
