Three nights. A new year. One desert. One tribe.

Nobody in this room has ever heard the phrase “less is more”, and nobody wants to.

Desert kings and queens, ancient dynasties. Opulent gold, silk and tiaras. This is not the night for minimalism.
FRIDAY · 1 JANUARY

Family lunch in the garden, then a sunset experience. White on white, pearls and feathers.
SATURDAY · 2 JANUARY

Disco in the Desert

Pool party. Disco balls, big sunglasses, technicolour dreams and outrageous 80s vibes.

THURSDAY 31 DECEMBER · NEW YEAR'S EVE

TRIBAL ROYALTY

Think of the royalty who rule the land, the dynasty who hold the power. Enter a world of desert kings and queens, ancient dynasties and powerful tribes. Meet the Sun King, the Sun Queen, the Royal Tribe and the Keepers of the Flame.

The aesthetic is opulent: gold, silk, tiaras, beiges, sparkles, sand, rich flowing fabrics. Bold, glamorous and extravagant. This is not the night for minimalism. Be unapologetically over the top.

FRIDAY 1 JANUARY · FAMILY LUNCH & SUNSET EXPERIENCE

HEAVENLY WHITE

It's time to fully immerse ourselves in the first light of the new year. We come together as a family to bless the year ahead. Also, the all-important debrief from the night before.

A late lunch, elegantly set up in a beautiful, relaxed garden. After lunch we head out on a special sunset excursion: a hedonistic experience in one of the most scenic locations around, with homemade cocktails and canapés.

This is a new dawn. White light symbolises ultimate purity, spiritual illumination and the clear consciousness of the divine.

Keep an eye on the desert for wildlife, and be as wild as you can.
