The following Bespoke Luxury Programme promises a truly unforgettable week of luxury, thrill and fun. It is for a high-flying, young business executive & a couple of friends, all of whom usually work too many hours and days a week and who want to make the most of the week.

Key Bespoke Luxury Programme requirements:

• Private Jet & Luxury Yacht - large enough to comfortably accommodate executive & friends, and fully staffed for first class service.
• Ensuring the very highest VIP treatment and level of discretion.
• An exclusive chauffeured driven car - large and comfortable enough to bring the small group around, without having to worry about parking or enjoying alcohol in restaurants & night clubs
• Include the truly once-in-a-lifetime experience of racing a real Formula 1 car - organised specifically by Exclusive Departures and only available for our guests.
• Several "Bespoke Days" with free choices of various sailing destinations & activities, including driving a Ferrari - and plenty of outdoor beach fun & action for young people, including driving a sports yacht.

We recommend & plan using the yacht itself for a number of displacements. Although it moves slowly, this provides advantages: 1. It allows the guests to relax, freshen up & get changed or just enjoy the sea, while moving to the next destination, and equally important: 2. It greatly limits the possibility of both being spotted and being followed by paparazzi & photographers waiting outside certain high-end restaurants and clubs known to cater to celebrities.

The weeks itinerary and key activities of each day are as follows. Please see below for a detailed itinerary for each day:

, Wednesday: Private Jet (to Malaga), Limo (Airport - Yacht in Puerto Banus), settle in on Yacht, Stroll & Dinner in Puerto Banus & sail off to discreet mooring for the night.
