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 as if we could touch the Pitons.”
