At Fora, we're allll about relationships. And because of these connections we've cultivated over the years, we get to extend the love to our advisors and travelers.
Our preferred partnerships with hotels and hotel collections (and cruises, and tour operators, and brands...) ensure Fora travelers receive the ultimate VIP experience, with exclusive perks and benefits, when they stay with one of our partners. Plus, these partnerships make the bookings process more seamless and worthwhile for our advisors. It's a win-win-win.
This month, we're thrilled to announce four new preferred partnerships. The first is with Turtle Bay Resort, a dreamy Hawaiʻian escape. Then we head across the pond to welcome Les Domaines de Fontenille, a collection of swoon-worthy hotels across Europe. From there, we'll pop around France and the Caribbean with B Signature hotels, a chic group of seven properties. We'll end with Relais & Châteaux (yes, please), a collection of refined, locavore-minded properties around the globe.

Turtle Bay Resort

Is there ever a bad time to visit Hawaiʻi? (The answer: no.) And Turtle Bay Resort, the only resort on Oʻahu's North Shore, is always a good idea. The hotel sits on 1,300 acres of lushness, half of which is permanently reserved for conservation. It's a mainstay in Fora's community, and for good reason.
The resort's blissfully secluded location makes for a more authentic, relaxing experience away from some of this island's more touristy areas. Plus, fewer tourists means more wildlife, so your clients can marvel (respectfully, from afar) at majestic creatures like humpback whales and Hawaiʻian monk seals. (Also see our beginner's guide to ethical wildlife.)
Here, guests can also indulge in locally sourced dining, relax at the hotel's Nalu Spa (which features locally made products), learn how to surf from an expert, explore the islands by helicopter, golf, snorkel with sharks and more. There's truly something for everyone. And thanks to Fora's newly negotiated partnership with Turtle Bay, when you book with us, you'll score top-tier perks.

Les Domaines de Fontenille

For a supremely special European getaway, you can't go wrong with Les Domaines de Fontenille, a collection of luxe hotels across France, Tuscany and Menorca. The company cares a lot about preserving its properties' land and heritage. An ethos of sustainability and nourishing agricultural practices (organic vineyards and gardens, EVOO produced onsite) permeates everything they do — and makes for some especially delicious dining.
The hotels are, in fact, carefully restored estates and homes off the beaten path, and this intimacy and rich history are reflected in the warm, personable service. Not to mention they're all très chic. Plus, the team is a delight to work with, and are eager to level up your client's stay. If you're craving a dream vacation, this is it. (Trust.) And thanks to our relationship with the collection, you'll unlock special perks when you book with us.

B Signature Hotels

B Signature's seven family-owned boutique hotels combine luxury, a distinctive local feel and a modern flair. The brand's hospitality extends to travel advisors, and staff are quick to respond to any and all inquiries. Five of the seven hotels are found in Paris, in prime locations like Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Hôtel Montalembert, in the heart of the stylish neighborhood, proudly claims the title of the Left Bank's first five-star hotel).
Craving a French château moment? Domaine de la Bretesche, a sprawling estate in Brittany, is a luxe country retreat complete with a golf course, a spa, gourmet restaurants, tennis and pétanque courts and more. (And did we mention it's also part of Relais & Châteaux?) For those craving some French elegance in the Caribbean, Hôtel Manapany cannot be beat. And because Fora is a part of the B Signature Diamond Club, Fora travelers will receive exclusive perks.

Relais & Châteaux - Preferred Partner Program

Relais & Châteaux needs no introduction. When you see that golden fleur de lis next to a hotel (or restaurant) name, you know you're in for a treat. We've always admired the collection's sophisticated, ultra-special properties, from secluded countryside homes to sprawling château (no surprise there) estates.
The French art de vivre is their guiding star, and we're here for it. Think Michelin-Starred dining and home-cooked meals, luxe spa getaways and wilderness lodges, expert-led wine tastings and world-class skiing...you get the idea. And now, since Fora is an official Relais & Châteaux preferred partner, you'll unlock exclusive benefits when you book with us.
