Get To Know Jack - Our Strategic Director
How many properties in our portfolio have you visited?
"I’ve been fortunate enough to visit 60+ properties across the Indian Ocean & Caribbean."
What’s your go-to cocktail?
"Mezcal Margarita!"
What is your favourite destination out of our portfolio?
"Sri Lanka is so special. I’ve been lucky enough to travel there 5+ times and it never disappoints. Nowhere better for those clients looking for culture, adventure & beach. Also, it’s just an hour flight from the Maldives, so a perfect twin centre."
Which Caribbean island and resort are your favourite and why?
"It has to be St Lucia for me. Dramatic landscapes and so much to do. It’s hard to pick one hotel, so I’ll choose a split stay between Jade Mountain and Sugar Beach. So different but they complement each other well!"
What’s your favourite local dish?
"Oh that’s a tricky one! Freshly BBQ’d jerk chicken in the Caribbean is the winner though."
Favourite Maldivian Property?
"Too many good ones to pick between so here’s a few of my faves: Six Senses Laamu, Milaidhoo, One & Only, Gili Lankafushi & Soneva Secret."
What’s your favourite holiday excursion or activity?
"Surfing for sure. I’ve been lucky to surf at a few resorts in the Maldives, on an outer island in the Seychelles, and on the south coast beaches in Sri Lanka. Nothing beats the empty waves in the Indian Ocean!"
Favourite recent fam trip?
"Hands down the Seychelles! It’s such an amazing destination with so much to do, lovely people, and incredible wildlife. The recent additions of the Cheval Blanc and Waldorf also help elevate its luxury appeal!"
Best recent travel memory?
"Well it has to be my recent honeymoon, doesn’t it?! My wife and I visited a few resorts in the Maldives and ended at the spectacular, newly-opened Soneva Secret. It was utterly mind-blowing."
