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.”

“A unique amenity at the hotel is the speakeasy-style Advocatuur bar in a former jail cell adjacent to a small Genever distillery.”

“Even this longtime professional traveler can still be seduced by the idea of staying on a private island.”
