Philosophy

We are non-judgemental, completely neutral and tolerance is an integral part of our philosophy. We have the greatest respect for all religious, spiritual and cultural practices.  We are equally at home with exhausted musicians, burnt-out CEO’s, drained politicians or relaxed spiritual masters. We understand simplicity and minimalism, but also offer extensive knowledge of the finer things of life and international etiquette.  Whatever makes you feel comfortable. We wish to firmly state that we do not condone or accept racism or discrimination of any kind.

You have accrued your wealth, achieved your business objectives, won your accolades, are semi-retired or retired,

now what!

Life has to be more than this.  We know, because we have been there.

First and foremost, we offer you or your family a relaxing holiday and a protected hideaway from the stresses and constant naggings of the outside world.  Time for you to breathe, think and reflect

We want to stress that we are not financial consultants, hungry businessmen, real estate agents, stock brokers or shady second hand car salesmen.  We are knowledgeable, experienced and educated friends. There are no ulterior motives.
