Original thinking.
Extraordinary travel.

Start Planning

We don't build itineraries, we direct experiences. We know the right people, the right places, the moments that exist just outside what's bookable. Original thinking. Hard-won access. Designed entirely around you.

Who
We're
For

Luxury Travelers

For the couple who has done the Amalfi Coast and wants to know what comes next. The family for whom the classic resort isn't enough anymore. The solo traveler who booked their own China trip once, and knows they only scratched the surface. Palmer Studio promises original thinking, unparalleled access and an itinerary built around the feeling you want to carry home.

Elevated Corporate Experiences

For the team that has done the conference hotel, the group dinner, the welcome reception. Who dreams of a version of corporate travel that actually means something – that creates genuine connection, restores perspective, and sends people back changed. That version? It's our forte.

Costa Rica

9 days / 8 nights

A Costa Rica exclusive built around genuine access and extraordinary moments – arriving by raft, ziplining through the rainforest canopy, white-water rapids, wildlife encounters in Cahuita National Park and a private Cessna flight over it all.

Pacuare Lodge

Accessible only by raft down one of Central America's most spectacular rivers, Pacuare Lodge sits deep in the Costa Rican rainforest with open-air bungalows, outdoor hanging beds, jungle showers and a restaurant where every plate arrives as a work of art.

Yunnan & Lhasa

7 nights / 8 days

We curated eight days through one of the world's most extraordinary and least-understood landscapes – from a dawn hike through Tiger Leaping Gorge to a hand-painted Thangka session above Shangri-La. Hard-won access, thoughtfully designed.

Songtsam Linka Lhasa

Perched at 3,700m with views of the Potala Palace, this exquisitely crafted retreat blends traditional Tibetan architecture – carved indigo windows, handcrafted copperware, hand-woven tapestries – with every modern comfort.

Start Planning

Greece

9 days / 8 nights

Nine days island-hopping through Greece's most iconic archipelago. Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon, wine tasting in Santorini's volcanic vineyards and a catamaran sunset cruise past the cliffs of Oia. Private access, exceptional properties and experiences that go well beyond the postcard.

Naxian Collection

Set amid volcanic rock formations and verdant Cycladic landscape, with views stretching to Naxos town and its castle. Private pools, an organic kitchen garden and a carefully kept wine cellar – this is the Greek islands done properly.

In the words of our clients

"Leslie was so helpful planning our trip to Mexico. Not only does her passion and excitement for travel make the whole process easy and fun, she was able to work within some difficult constraints and found an incredible place for us to stay. Booking transportation and everything through her made the whole thing so easy and gave us peace of mind leading up to, and through the whole trip."

"Leslie took the time to get to know us as a family and learned about our interests, likes & dislikes. We challenged her with a complicated itinerary which she designed beautifully. We will definitely hire Leslie again for our future travels!"
