The Spear’s 500 Travel Guide includes the very best and most essential travel services, HNW insurance, and property rental specialist suppliers, along with the most exotic car rental agencies, whether you want a new supercar (or classic car) for your holiday in the United States or on the Cote D’Azur.

We have used our Spear’s intelligence network to include the very best villas and ski chalets for rent, the best luxury hotels, the best boutique hotels, the best villa agencies, the best HNW travel agents, and the best specialist tour operators to make any visit abroad all the more exclusive and bespoke. From cultural tours to ecotourism, from adventure, sport and wilderness experiences to cruises to wine tourism, from safaris to golf resorts, our guide explores the niche interests that are most likely to whet the appetites of HNW travellers.

The Spear’s 500 Travel Guide is published as a glossy coffee-table supplement with the January/February issue of Spear’s, which is sent to the private homes and offices of the wealthiest families in the UK.

All entrant profiles and travel companies can also be accessed 24 hours a day(no paywall) through the dedicated Spear’s 500 website that is the required online reference guide ‘bible’ for Europe’s wealthy and discerning high-flyers and their families – shown by the thousands of people that visit the Spear’s website for information each day.
