Adventure Luxe elopements are Soul & Sky’s signature approach to luxury weddings in extraordinary destinations.
What Is Adventure Luxe?
Adventure Luxe It’s the intersection of wild, awe‑inspiring landscapes and intentional, personal design—an experience that keeps you connected to the natural world while surrounding you with quiet luxury.
Think of it as immersive, not insulated - the comfort of a well‑curated stay paired with the exhilaration of being surrounded by the wild beauty of a place.
Couples have shared full, multi‑day wedding experiences in settings like:
Glamping directly on an Alaska glacier
Unique US stays with access to wild lands, hot springs & guided adventures
Remote, nature-forward backcountry lodging via boat, heli and more
A Brutalist-inspired beach retreat in Mexico
Natural magic across Kenya’s Rift Valley & Maasai Mara
Exclusive, romantic glamps beside National Parks
And more...
For couples who travel to immerse
For couples who value design & detail
For couples who want ease with adventure
For couples who seek something Fresh
Choosing a Luxury Elopement Photographer who designs and photographs elopements that way is key. What does that difference look like?

FAQs About
Adventure Luxe Elopements
Start with a one-of-a-kind stay—like a boutique lodge, eco-retreat, or design-forward casita—that feels true to the destination.
Layer in adventure with helicopter landings, guided glacier hikes, off-road drivers, yacht charters, or wildlife safaris.
Elevate the celebration through intentional touches such as a private chef, custom attire, or curated florals.
Round out with the luxury of time... Many couples choose multi-day adventure luxe elopements, blending days of exploration with evenings of quiet luxury for a wedding experience that feels immersive and elevated.
In short, the best ways to elevate your experience are the same elements that define an Adventure Luxe elopement wedding—adventure, intentionality, and quiet luxury combined.
At Soul & Sky, most couples book 10–12+ months in advance to design a fully personalized, luxury experience. This allows us to secure exclusive lodging, charter helicopters or boats, arrange for bespoke meals, book other high-end creatives (planners, decor designers), etc—all elements that bring personal touches in an Adventure Luxe elopement wedding.
For the wedding itself, we encourage couples to plan for multi-day celebrations rather than a single day.
In Alaska, that might mean a glacier landing one day and a private lodge dinner the next; in Mexico, blending a beachfront ceremony with days at a design-forward villa; in Kenya, combining bush vows with cultural immersion & game viewing.
One-day elopements (8–12 hours) can be beautiful, but timelines of 1.5 days+ allow couples to slow down, savor their surroundings, and create space for both adventure and quiet luxury to make it truly unforgettable.
If you are eloping with guests, book coverage for 2 full days minimum to avoid rushing through or having to forgo experiences unique to your destination due to lack of time.
- Exclusive & Gorgeous Locations: private boutique lodging that double as experiences (yachts, chalets, trains), limited-access glaciers, remote lodging, or design-forward retreats.
- Personalized & Curated Experience: every detail reflects the couple’s story, style, and priorities, rather than a pre-set template.
- High-End Vendors: expert planners, photographers, floral & decor designers, and private tour leaders ensure seamless execution.
- Slow Food & Local Inspiration: meals prepared by private chefs using local flavors and ingredients, paired with decor that reflects the spirit of place.
- Multi-Day Experiences: nesting your elopement within days of exploration, local immersion, and shared adventure.
- Designer Attire: elegant or statement pieces that align with the tone and feel of the elopement.
- Focus on Intimacy: even with luxury layered in, the heart of the elopement is space for the couple’s connection and the freedom to be fully present.
- Creative Direction: vision that ties landscape, ceremony, and immersive details together, keeping adventurous luxury at the foundation.
- Lodging: exclusive lodges, glamping, eco-retreats, or remote chalets that become part of the experience.
- Access & Excursions: helicopters, specialty vehicles, charter boats, private guides, special permits, etc to reach extraordinary places.
- Vendors & Creative Direction: expert photography, planning, decor, floral design, private chefs, and stylists.
- Vision Touches: designer attire, bespoke décor, curated meals, or immersive cultural touches.
While costs vary widely—from intimate eco-luxe glamping in the U.S. to multi-day safaris in Africa or expedition like access in Greenland—the focus is always on creating an experience that feels intentional, elevated, and one-of-a-kind.
Couples should expect that remote destinations and exclusive access often carry a premium, and working with experts who know how to design and photograph in these spaces adds value. The return is a one-of-one wedding as unforgettable as the landscape itself.
Unique luxury elopements thrive in places where the landscape itself becomes part of the wedding. The most memorable experiences balance exclusivity, immersion, and intentional design. Options include:
Alaska — helicopter-only glaciers, private chalets in Denali, or remote lodges framed by wild rivers.
Africa — eco-lodges in Kenya’s Rift Valley, Botswana safari camps, Namibia’s desert lodges, or secluded island stays in the Seychelles.
United States — bespoke glamping in remote coastal forests, desert sanctuaries near slot canyons, or hot spring retreats in the Sawtooth Mountains.
South America — stargazing domes in Chile’s Atacama Desert, Patagonian lodges with glacier access, or vineyard villas in Argentina’s Andes.
Asia & Pacific — liveaboard yacht or junkboat stays in Thailand, eco-retreats in New Zealand’s South Island, or serene retreats in Indonesia’s lesser-visited islands.
Europe (Offbeat) — cliffside hideaways in the Faroe Islands, volcanic lodges in Iceland, or hidden cave homes in Italy.
What unites these destinations isn’t their fame, but the way they invite couples into celebrations that feel adventurous, personal, and entirely their own. That’s the heart of an Adventure Luxe elopement wedding.
