Beverly Hills and the canyons, the city's best tables and a day on the coast — Los Angeles at its most effortless. A private, tailored journey of 4-5 days in Los Angeles, United States, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$11,000 per traveler.
A single country that holds the ocean glamour of Miami, the canyon light of California, the cultural heights of New York and the vast wilderness of the West.
When to go
From March to November is the best window for Los Angeles. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- A private drive through Beverly Hills and the canyons, the city read from the hills above it.
- The city's best tables held for you, from the celebrated dining rooms to the quiet neighborhood favorites.
- A day on the coast at Malibu, from the beach to a lunch above the Pacific.
- A private guide to the galleries and design of the moment, on the schedule you keep.
A sense of the rhythm
Los Angeles rewards a relaxed pace: mornings in the canyons, afternoons toward the coast, evenings at the right table. Four or five nights let the city reveal itself without hurry. Everything moves by private car, so the distances never intrude.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Book the sought-after tables early; the best rooms in Los Angeles fill weeks ahead.
- Keep a private car and driver throughout, so the city's distances become part of the pleasure.
- Take the canyons in the morning light, before the day warms and the roads fill.
- Reserve one open afternoon for the discovery we suggest once we know your interests.
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From US$11,000 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.

Questions, answered.
You can anchor the weekend in Beverly Hills and the canyons, close to the tables and the galleries. Or lean toward the coast, with Malibu and the ocean at the center. We shape the days around whichever side of the city you want to wake up in.
It is a full day on the coast at Malibu, from the beach to a lunch above the Pacific, arranged privately and shaped to you. It fits the rhythm Los Angeles rewards: mornings in the canyons, afternoons toward the coast, evenings at the right table. If the ocean matters most to you, the weekend can lean toward the coast, with Malibu at the center.
Book the sought-after tables early, because the best rooms in Los Angeles fill weeks ahead. On this journey the city's best tables are held for you, from the celebrated dining rooms to the quiet neighborhood favorites. Your evenings are built around them, so securing them early is one of the first things our advisors recommend.
Everything moves by private car, and our advisors suggest keeping a private car and driver throughout, so the city's distances never intrude and become part of the pleasure. Take the canyons in the morning light, before the day warms and the roads fill. The private drive through Beverly Hills and the canyons reads the city from the hills above it.
The LA Insider Weekend runs 4-5 days. Four or five nights let the city reveal itself without hurry, at the relaxed pace Los Angeles rewards: mornings in the canyons, afternoons toward the coast, evenings at the right table. The days can hold a private drive through Beverly Hills and the canyons, a day on the coast at Malibu with lunch above the Pacific, a private guide to the galleries and design of the moment, and one open afternoon reserved for the discovery we suggest once we know your interests. Everything moves by private car, so the distances never intrude.
As a private, tailored journey it starts from roughly US$11,000 per traveler (double occupancy) and scales with your dates, party and level of privacy — a starting point, never a fixed package price. Your advisor confirms the figure once the itinerary is tailored.
November through April is the finest time for this journey, the season of warm, dry days in the Southwest. Within it, plan the canyons in the morning light, before the day warms and the roads fill, and keep the afternoons for the coast, from the beach at Malibu to a lunch above the Pacific. Your advisor times the weekend to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
Yes. The LA Insider Weekend can include a private guide to the galleries and design of the moment in Los Angeles, on the schedule you keep. Like every experience on the journey, it is arranged privately and shaped to you. It fits the city's relaxed pace, and if you anchor the weekend in Beverly Hills and the canyons, you stay close to the galleries and the tables. Everything moves by private car, so the distances never intrude.
On The LA Insider Weekend, our advisors recommend reserving one open afternoon in Los Angeles for the discovery we suggest once we know your interests. It sits alongside the private drive through Beverly Hills and the canyons, the day on the coast at Malibu and the city's best tables held for you. Four or five nights leave room for it, so the city can reveal itself without hurry, and a private car and driver keep the distances part of the pleasure.
Beverly Hills and Bel-Air are the classic answer: central, quiet and above the marine layer, closest to the galleries, the shopping and the canyons. Santa Monica trades that for the ocean and an easy family rhythm, at the cost of grey mornings in late spring. West Hollywood packs the city's densest mix of restaurants, rooms and nightlife into 1.9 square miles. On The LA Insider Weekend, your advisor picks the base from your itinerary, because driving time is the real currency here.
