Who we Are
OUR STORY
Over three decades ago, an encounter in Sydney with a South-African born, food-loving hotelier ignited the spark that would fuel our extraordinary jouney. From the UK to the Bahamas; Casablanca to the dazzling landscapes of Dubai, and finally, Portugal – each destination shaped us.
We discovered a love for local art; purchased treasures on our travels and invested in our favorite destinations – Portugal, Bahamas, and Aspen, USA. We created spaces that exude warmth, color, a feeling of home yet with discrete hospitality. Every attention to detail whispers luxury.
What We Believe In
OUR CREDO
We believe that the ultimate luxury today is time and space. How we spend it, who we spend it with and what we experience along the way. It is the making of our most treasured memories and to remember just how good life should feel. This has always been our family’s credo, and now forms the basis of Living Explorations.

Those lazy days by the sea

Unwind and rejuvenate
And remember just how good life should feel

Serene walks on snowy trails
Ski adventures on powder days
Indulging in world-class cuisine
