When the person is known
Discretion is not a costume. For someone whose face is public, it is a sequence of ordinary decisions made before the day begins.
The journal
Notes from the house
Guides to the weeks that fill a year: the Gulf, the European season, and the practical questions of a private stay. These are notes, not announcements.
Residences2 min
Villa or suite
The choice is not aesthetic. It is a choice about meals, meetings, children, and how many doors the party is willing to manage.

Paris at the end of September
Women’s fashion week for spring-summer 2027 is published for 28 September to 6 October 2026. The city is working. A stay can still be calm.
Aviation2 min
August, when the Mediterranean is full
The aircraft is not busier in August because people have become more extravagant. It is busier because the airports have not grown, and the month has.

July on Mykonos, and the case for a quieter cove
Mykonos in July is wind, whitewash and a town that does not sleep. Ibiza, the same month, is a different decision. Neither should be booked as a picture.

Monaco in early June
In 2026 the Grand Prix is on 5–7 June. The principality closes its streets. A stay is a study in where a car can still go.
Events2 min
Cannes in May
The 2026 festival is published for 12–23 May. The Croisette will be crowded. A private stay is everything that is not the Croisette.

Art Dubai, held as a stay
Art Dubai 2026 is published for 17–19 April. The fair is three days. The stay should be longer than the fair, and quieter than the opening.

March, between the Gulf and Europe
March is an in-between month, and that is its value. The Gulf is still pleasant. Europe is waking. The stay can be two short chapters rather than one compromise.
Business2 min
A working week in Dubai
February in Dubai is a business city that also wants to be a holiday. The stay works when those two uses are written down separately.

Winter routes: the Gulf, the Alps, the city
January is when private aircraft earn their place. The day is short, the airports are particular, and the return is as important as the outbound.
Destinations2 min
When the Alps open: Gstaad and Courchevel
December is not the fullest month in the mountains. It is the month when the stay has to be decided, because January will not wait.

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, considered as a stay
The Formula 1 season ends at Yas Marina. A private stay around that weekend is a question of gates, hours and where the night actually ends.
