Six destinations. Six reasons to learn to breathe underwater. 🌊

Swipe through the most extraordinary places on Earth to strap on a tank. →

🇲🇻 Maldives — Where whale sharks, hammerheads, and manta rays drift through nutrient-rich channels between atolls. Big-animal diving at its most breathtaking.
🇫🇯 Fiji — A sheer wall that drops into an explosion of white soft corals turning lavender as you go deeper. Then shark dives with up to eight species at once.
🇱🇨 St Lucia — Underwater volcanic peaks rising from the seabed, covered in barrel sponges and giant gorgonian fans. The Pitons, but below the surface.
🇦🇺 Lord Howe Island — The world’s southernmost coral reef, where tropical and temperate marine life collide in an ecosystem found nowhere else on Earth. And almost no one diving it.
🇹🇿 Zanzibar — Mnemba Atoll: a protected marine reserve where whale sharks, dolphins, and turtles gather. Surface, and go on safari.
🇸🇨 Seychelles — Granite caves, boulders, and pinnacles unlike anything else in the Indian Ocean , with whale sharks coming in their droves to feed.

One life. Six oceans. Start planning.

The howler monkeys arrive before sunrise. The Pacific stretches out as far as you can see. And your infinity pool sits between the two. 🐒
Casa Tres Monos is a newly renovated 5-bedroom villa on the exclusive Peninsula Papagayo — where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the kind of ocean views that stop you mid-sentence. You walk in through the front door and the Pacific hits you. Just like that.
Five bedrooms. Four private terraces. One electric golf cart to get you to the beach club.

→ Swipe to lose track of time.

🌍 Pura Vida, Elevated: Peninsula Papagayo is filled with everything from cocktail venues and world-class restaurants to surf lessons, a kids club, and private boat charters — but Casa Tres Monos has a way of making none of that feel urgent. Monkeys roam the treetops above the open-air gym. The Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course is minutes away. And the Prieta Beach Club — a 38,000 sq ft seaside sanctuary — is a short golf cart ride down the hill. As part of the Ownia Collection, every stay here supports the local community that cares for the property.

📅 May is magic: Dry season in Papagayo — warm days, golden light, and the Pacific at its most spectacular.

Two thousand years ago, the Maya built cities in this jungle that still take your breath away. Today, you can wake up on the lake that watched it all happen. 🌿
Bolontiku sits on the tranquil shores of Lake Petén Itzá — named after the nine Mayan gods of life and destiny — and just over an hour from the ancient wonders of Tikal, Yaxhá, and El Mirador. You arrive by boat. The rainforest greets you first.
Fifteen suites. A private temazcal. An infinity pool dissolving into the lake.
→ Swipe to feel the stillness.
🌍 Culture & Conservation: Bolontiku is nearly carbon neutral, weaving Mayan wellness rituals, cultural experiences, and sustainable luxury into every stay. Farm-to-table cuisine is inspired by Guatemalan flavors and paired with locally sourced ingredients — a plate that tells the story of the land you’re sitting on. This is one of the most biodiverse and culturally rich corners of the Americas, and Bolontiku exists to protect it.
📅 May is the moment: Guatemala is increasingly being recognized by travel media as “the next place to visit” — and right now, before the world fully catches on, it’s all yours.

Where Culebra Bay meets the 18th green. And the only decision you have to make is whether to tee off before or after breakfast. 🌊
Casa Puma sits on Peninsula Papagayo — perched above the Pacific, with the Four Seasons Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course practically in your backyard and a private infinity pool staring out at the bay.
Five bedrooms. 775 square metres of indoor-outdoor living. Nothing between you and the best view in Guanacaste.
→ Swipe to feel the breeze.
🌍 More Than a Villa: Casa Puma is part of the Ownia Collection — where luxury stays create real social impact. Every night spent here directly supports the professional development and homeownership of the local caretaker couple who look after the property. Sustainability is built in too: smart water stewardship, recycling systems, and a wastewater program that feeds the gardens of the dry forest surrounding you.
📅 May is the sweet spot: Dry season is still holding — warm golden days, cooler evenings, and the golf course and bay practically to yourself.

At the foot of the Paine Massif. At the edge of the world. This is where our Beckons series ends — and where the sense of wildness reaches its peak. 🏔️

Tierra Patagonia stretches across the windswept steppe of Torres del Paine, with the granite towers rising directly outside every window. Guanacos graze on the lawn. Condors circle on thermals. The light changes every ten minutes.

It is a lodge that doesn't compete with the landscape — it surrenders to it.

→ Swipe to meet all 8 Beckons lodges, now part of Ownia Collection.

🌍 Conservation Fact: Tierra Patagonia is one of the founding supporters of Tompkins Conservation's rewilding project in Chilean Patagonia — the largest private land donation to conservation in history. This project has restored pumas, huemul deer, and ñandú across 11 million acres of Patagonian wilderness now permanently protected.

📅 May: Early autumn in Patagonia — extraordinary. Red and gold lenga beech, fewer trekkers on the trails, and photographic light that photographers travel continents for.

Not all wilderness is wild in the same way. 🍇

The Barossa Valley is a different kind of sacred — ancient vines, red clay soil, a winemaking tradition that stretches back 170 years. And The Louise is where the world's most discerning wine travelers come to disappear into it.

Fifteen suites tucked into the vineyard landscape. A kitchen that has driven Australia's culinary conversation for two decades. And a stillness that only a landscape shaped by a single, patient purpose can offer.

→ Swipe for a lodge where the land is both the view and the meal.

🌍 Sustainability Fact: The Louise works exclusively with Barossa Valley producers and has been a champion of the region's commitment to dry-farming — ancient viticultural practices that require no irrigation and produce the intensely concentrated Shiraz that put the Barossa on the world map. No water extraction from the Murray-Darling Basin.

📅 May in the Barossa: Vintage has just concluded — the most atmospheric time of year, with harvest energy, golden light, and the vines beginning to turn.

The driest place on Earth. The clearest skies. And a thermal pool fed by geothermal water that has traveled underground for thousands of years. 🏜️

Tierra Atacama sits at 2,400 metres above sea level in the heart of the Atacama Desert — a landscape so extreme and so ancient it has been used by NASA to test Mars rovers. And yet, it is alive with hummingbirds, flamingos, and Lickanantay traditions that have navigated this salt flat and altiplano for 11,000 years.

→ Swipe for the lodge that makes the Atacama feel like home.

🌍 Conservation Fact: Tierra Atacama works in deep partnership with the Lickanantay Indigenous communities, whose ancestral knowledge of this hyperarid ecosystem is both irreplaceable and under threat. The lodge sources all food from local Atacameño farmers and actively supports the revitalization of Kunza — the Atacameño language.

📅 May in Atacama: Ideal. Mild temperatures, stable skies, and the best conditions for stargazing on Earth — the Atacama hosts more astronomical observatories than anywhere else on the planet.

Limestone cliffs. The roaring Southern Ocean. Wildlife that exists nowhere else on Earth. 🦘

Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island is the lodge that made Australia reconsider what luxury actually means. Since 2009, it has set a global benchmark — and when it was rebuilt after the 2020 bushfires, it came back with even stronger commitments to habitat restoration.

Sea lions on the beach. Echidnas waddling past your door. Rare glossy black cockatoos overhead. And Southern Right Whales in the ocean below.

→ Swipe for a lodge that earns its place in the landscape.

🌍 Conservation Fact: Southern Ocean Lodge contributes to the protection of over 4,000 hectares of native bushland on Kangaroo Island, and is an active partner in the island's habitat restoration programs following the 2020 fires, which devastated 48% of the island's landmass.

📅 May–September: Whale watching season. The ocean is dramatic, the wildlife abundant, and rates are at their most accessible.

Only 400 visitors. Ever. At any one time. 🌊

Lord Howe Island is one of the last places on Earth where visitor numbers are constitutionally protected — meaning the 400 people there at any given moment have a UNESCO World Heritage marine park essentially to themselves.

Capella Lodge is the island's only luxury accommodation. Nine suites, views of the twin volcanic peaks of Mount Gower and Mount Lidgbird, and world-class diving in a lagoon protected by the world's southernmost coral reef.

This is the most exclusive island in the Pacific. And it just joined Ownia Collection.

→ Swipe to discover it.

🌍 Conservation Fact: Lord Howe Island completed one of the most ambitious rodent eradication programs in history — successfully removing all black rats from the island, allowing the near-extinct Lord Howe Island woodhen to recover from just 15 individuals to over 300. Capella Lodge actively supports the ongoing native species recovery.

📅 April–June: Warm water, excellent dive visibility, and the quietest beaches you'll find in the Pacific.
