There are not many things that 029 enjoys more than traipsing around the world to exotic locations, exciting cities and secluded spots of serenity.

But if we had to pick something we love possibly as much as travel, it would have to be shopping.

And what happens if the best of both worlds are combined? Keep reading, we’ll tell you.

buy·v!p offers limited time premier brand campaigns to its members which is the perfect partner for 029 as we offer incredible premier travel experiences.

029 recently launched its first campaign on buy·v!p which was met with great success and enthusiasm. In less than 72 hours, our Vienna and Prague experiences were completely sold out. Completely understandable. People who love gorgeous fashion must undoubtedly love gorgeous cities.

To answer the question posed in the headline, We Loved Ibiza plenty! What’s not to love? The weather was beautiful, the beach was relaxing, we reconnected with old friends, we delighted in making new friends, the drinks were cold and the nightlife was hot! In short, Ibiza did not disappoint, in fact, it exceeded our expectations.

Take a look at our pictures and get inspired from our three days where 029 & Jet Club celebrated the “Real Ibiza” together with some really lovely members and guests from all over the world that joined us.

We started with a beach side dinner and the Jet Club Party at Nassau Beach Club. We had the whole place to ourselves - a private party for us and our guests.  The seafood paella they served was not only huge (see the pictures!) but also delicious. We’d like to thank the attentive staff at Nassau Beach for their great service all night long. Sidney rocked the place till 02:30 in the morning and we just loved the sexy fire performance duo!

On Monday, everyone chilled out during the day, visiting the numerous beaches the “Magic Island” has to offer. At night it was time for the long-awaited “10 years Cocoon Ibiza” Opening at Amnesia. Our guests had the opportunity to watch and celebrate this gorgeous party from the VIP terrace.

On Tuesday, to make the whole Ibiza experience a little more perfect, we arranged a sailing trip to the private Island of Espalmador, which lies next to Formentera and is reachable only boat. Everyone loved the almost Caribbean feel and snow white sand of Espalmador’s beaches and enjoyed the crystal clear water. In the afternoon, we headed back to the amazing coast of Cala Jondal and spent some time chilling at Blue Marlin Beach Club. Afterwards, we slowly sailed back to Ibiza town while watching a magical sunset over the Mediterranean.

For those that couldn’t stop partying and still had energy left, 029 arranged tickets for the Flamingo Nights Opening at Pacha, where Fedde Le Grand played an amazing electronic set. We’re already looking forward to loving Ibiza next year with you, of course. Special thanks to Nassau Beach Club, Cocoon Ibiza, Flamingo Recordings and all parties and members involved, we truly enjoyed being and/or working with you.

The Cannes Film Festival - the event to see and be seen at on the Côte d’Azur – and of course 029 was in attendance.  Although the parties were a bit more tame and less plentiful this year, due to the global economic downturn, the celebrities did not disappoint as they descended on the Croisette.

029, serving as an in-kind sponsor of the Maybach Foundation, and also as the official concierge of this philanthropic organisation was there for all the action at Celebrity Entertainment Night, hosted by the Maybach Foundation in cooperation with Sunflower Children. Here are some of 029’s impressions from the evening.

029’s very own, Christian Schwägerl had the difficult and challenging task of visiting the Seychelles. One of the many benefits of scouting the globe for all things luxurious – the opportunity to become better acquainted with the gorgeous islands that make up the Seychelles. 029 invited along one of our Brand Ambassadors, Nikolaus Nicolaus for the experience.

Christian and Nikolaus had the pleasure of staying at the Banyan Tree Seychelles. Located in Intendance Bay on the island of Mahé, this stunning hotel offers 60 exquisite pool villas that effortlessly combine contemporary and colonial décor. Highly recommended by our two travellers, the Banyan Tree is blessed with breathtaking surroundings, impeccably landscaped grounds, gorgeous and well-appointed villas and personnel committed to the highest level of service,  ensuring that all guests feel as though they have found heaven on earth.

Christian and Nikolaus flew with  ZIL AIR (a new heli-service on the Seychelles with brand new Eurocopters) over to Zil Pasyon (Island of Passion) to have a look at a real estate development project taking place on the island. So for those of you who have a few million dollars sitting idly underneath your mattress, 21 luxurious & private villas on Zil Pasyon are on sale for those who are looking to expand their real-estate portfolio with a truly unique acquisition. Completely private, utterly stylish, uninterrupted views – your own piece of paradise for sale. The first houses are currently being built and are expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2010. Whoever said money couldn’t buy happiness was and is obviously mistaken.

Interested in visiting the Seychelles? Want to know what you can/should see & do? Where to rest your head? Charter a yacht? Dive under the sea? Just give us a shout, we’ll help you out.

In collaboration with InterContinental Hotel Group and Middle East Airlines, 029 visited the Lebanese capital at the end of March.  Our purpose was to familiarise ourself with the city and surrounding areas and to visit some spectacular hotels within the InterContinental Hotel Group to expand our Middle Eastern MICE portfolio.  We are grateful for the hospitality we received at InterContinental’s Mountain Resort and Spa in Mzaar, nestled atop Mount Lebanon.
