WHAT IS ANDREW HARPER?

Authentic, honest reviews, since 1979

For over 40 years, our editors have traveled the globe incognito to discover exceptional hideaways and experiences for Andrew Harper members.

“The idea for this newsletter back in 1979 — to share information about peaceful and unspoiled sanctuaries with a limited and compatible group of sophisticated travelers — remains at the core of its identity today.”

“With no barrier between us and the sea and sky, we felt we could almost touch the Pitons from the edge of our in-room infinity pool.”
– ANDREW HARPER
“Seemingly every hole we played would have been considered the highlight of a typical course, so impressive was the scenery.”

Zurich to Lake Como Itinerary

The Swiss Alps and the Italian Lakes in 15 Days

Prior to World War I, Switzerland was the leisure destination of choice for wealthy and aristocratic Europeans. As a result, the country has many grand historic hotels set amid glorious mountain scenery.

“Lake-facing rooms, a glass-walled Michelin-starred restaurant, a paneled bar and a heated outdoor infinity pool all yield splendid water views backdropped by the Alps.”
– ANDREW HARPER
“Whenever I return and catch my first glimpse of the electric-turquoise water of the lagoon, I experience the same rush of exhilaration that I felt on my first visit, and I’m ready to dive back in.”
– ANDREW HARPER
“The cabins on this 330-passenger ship sport a chic décor of Polynesian motifs and a tranquil color palette of sea blue, light green and pearl.”
– ANDREW HARPER
