Privé Journal is a gathering place for all things travel - rooted in luxury, design and sustainability. A highly curated collection of notes, stories, places, interviews & recommendations shaped by intentional wandering.

Less concerned with what’s trending and more drawn to what endures, the places with patina, depth and soul. We seek out design-led stays, luxury retreats, hidden gems and a fresh perspective on iconic destinations. In an oversaturated market of information, and a million products to choose from, we offer a refuge of inspiration for your next barefoot luxury escape to Mozambique or a getaway weekend in Tuscany.

Our hope is that in sharing, we’ll encourage you to follow your own instinct, take the slower route, and uncover places that either change your life, or simply inspire you to try the little Italian café on the corner, where no words capture the joy of watching the locals go about their lives, as you sip your morning cappuccino with a view of the sea.
