01. What is a Lifestyle Takeover?

Unlike a normal holiday, a takeover reserves all or part of a venue exclusively for lifestyle guests.

That creates a very different atmosphere. Instead of meeting people for one evening, you spend several days together enjoying meals, parties, activities and time by the pool or beach. Friendships often develop quickly. There's no pressure to rush from one venue to another.

If you're looking for ideas of what to wear, we've also put together our picks for Party & Eveningwear, and Lingerie.

Some takeovers are held at resorts, others on cruise ships, and some occupy unique venues such as private islands.

 OUR RECOMMENDATION

Planning a Takeover?

Most guests connect before they arrive

02. Why Choose a Takeover?

Easy To Meet People

You'll see the same faces at breakfast, by the pool and at the evening parties, so conversations pick up naturally instead of starting from scratch each time.

Great for First Timers

Because everyone is sharing the same holiday, many people find takeovers more approachable than visiting a club for a single evening.
