ABOUT
Hello, I'm Max
I'm the founder of Anchor & Atlas, and the person you'll deal with from the first conversation to the moment you're home.
Six years in luxury travel, a network of the hotels and specialists that make trips work, and a simple aim: to be your lifetime partner for luxury travel.
MY STORY
Why I started
Anchor & Atlas
I've spent six years in luxury travel, building close relationships with some of the world's most sought-after hotels and the specialists on the ground who make trips run smoothly.
Much of that time was spent planning for some of the most private families in the world, where discretion, precision and attention to detail aren't optional. It's the standard I hold every trip to, whatever its size.
Along the way I noticed how transactional the industry can be: a booking made, a commission earned, on to the next. I set up Anchor & Atlas in 2025 to do the opposite. I take the time to understand how each client likes to travel, I remember it, and I use it to make every trip better than the last.
I still travel a lot and visit as many hotels as I can. It means my recommendations come from first-hand experience, down to which suite has the best view, rather than from a brochure.
HOW I WORK
What you can expect from me
Personal, not transactional
Honest advice
Discreet by default
I'd rather get one trip exactly right than rush to the next booking. Most of my clients come to me through recommendations from people I've looked after.
If somewhere isn't right for you, I'll tell you. If I'm not the right person for a trip, I'll tell you that too.
I'm used to working for very private people. NDAs, pseudonyms and quiet arrivals are all part of the job.
