Our story
At Hidden Exclusive Retreats, our journey is rooted in a heartfelt desire to create meaningful vacation experiences. Growing up on a small island off the coast of Panama, where my family owns a vacation property, I discovered the joy of hospitality and the power of beautiful surroundings. This early experience inspired me to bring that same sense of wonder and warmth to the Swiss Alps.
Together with Camila, whose talent for making things happen ensures that every detail is thoughtfully managed, we have shaped Hidden Exclusive Retreats as part of Summit Swiss GmbH. Our mission is to provide authentic and memorable stays that reveal the breathtaking beauty of Switzerland.
Each of our retreats is thoughtfully crafted to capture the essence of its alpine setting, offering guests a genuine and comfortable escape. With a dedicated team and a commitment to quality, we strive to make every stay a special and cherished memory. Whether you're seeking adventure or tranquility, Hidden Exclusive Retreats welcomes you to explore the unique magic of the Alps with us.
