Today is National Coming Out Day, and there’s no better moment to share this: Departure Lounge is now a proud National Sponsor of the Human Rights Campaign. 🏳️‍🌈

And it is personal. Scroll through to learn more about the initiative, the announcement at the National Dinner for HRC in September, and the shared stories that highlight why we’ve chosen to show up as we often do: quite loud, and quite proud — both as members and allies of the community.

Moving forward isn’t always certain, and we figure the only way to do so is to go with love. That belief inspired our campaign line — and we hope it inspires you, too.

To everyone who has come out, who is supporting someone who has, or who is still finding the words: we see you, and we’re so glad you’re here.🤍

We wouldn’t be who we are without them. ✨

The Partners nominated for our annual Departure Lounge Partner Awards earned the honor through their collaboration, their commitment, and the above-and-beyond way they show up for our advisors and their travelers.

Master co-creators. Dedicated partners. All-around good people to work — and play — with.

Scroll through to see this year’s nominees across every category. Every one, a reason to celebrate.

And celebrate we will during our Departure Lounge Exchange, aka DLX . It’s the time of year we gather to finally meet in person, reunite with good friends, and deepen the relationships that translate to meaningful journeys.

Follow along October 4th - 6th while we enjoy the gorgeous grounds and hospitality of Langham Huntington, Pasadena — where winners will be announced on October 7th at our Golden Hour Gala.

Ready, set, glow. ✨

They’re so golden.✨

Every one of the nominees for our annual Departure Lounge Advisor Awards earned the honor through their hard work, perseverance, spirit of collaboration, and — gotta say it — kick ass way of showing up in the world. 

And every year, we announce the winners at our annual Departure Lounge Exchange (that’s DLX to our friends, friend.)

As for the cliché “they’re all winners” — it applies here. Scroll through to see the nominees across every category to get to know those who raise the bar and inspire us (and others) with the exceptional ways they show up to work and create.

Follow along for the whole DLX ride as we head to Langham Huntington, Pasadena October 4th - 8th. And find out who wins on October 6th, when we’ll celebrate all the nominees, our partners, and one another at the Golden Hour Gala.

Let’s glow. ✨

Ski-in, ski-out, ski into something oh so sweet at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek:

Book a Suite Escape by 30 September and receive an additional $500 resort credit — $600 total — when you reserve a suite for stays 01 November 2026 through 12 April 2027.

And adding to the delight — no blackout dates. ❄️

Stay right at the base of the mountain, just steps from the lift — and for après, enjoy the beauty of access to five hot tubs, a full-service spa, a village ice rink, and dining from mountainside classics to craft cocktails.

Monaco delights in the “Yes, AND...”

World-famous casino. Classic F1  street circuit. Yachts galore.

Yes AND...beach mornings, museum afternoons, fun with the kids, opera nights, green space around every corner — a place built for everything, all at once. 🇲🇨

There’s so much more to discover. So much more to love.

Alila Ventana is back — fully open, fully itself, perched above the coastline that makes this stretch of California unlike anywhere else on earth.

The redwoods — still standing. The cliffs — dramatically framing the Pacific. And the peace you come here for — still exactly as you remember it.

Book now through October 31st for a $350 resort credit (that’s an extra $250), or plan ahead for November 1–March 31, 2027 and save 15% on all rooms and suites.

Big Sur beckons. And now’s the time to go. 🌊 [email protected]

Golden hour, every hour.

That’s the feel on the Orient Express Corinthian — catching the last light on open water, coastline slipping by, reflecting on yet another day of wonder.

Step inside and find a yacht that feels more like a home — one with handcrafted detail usually reserved for the finest private residences.

On deck, in the suites, at the table — hundreds of impeccable small moments, adding up to an experience that’s hard to fully capture. (But oh the fun you’ll have in the trying...) 🌅⛵
