Le Collectionist curates homes to rent in more than 30 summer and winter destinations and personalizes stays with local services and bespoke experiences. The company targets discerning travellers and handcrafts holidays via on-the-ground teams in local offices. Its destination coverage includes the French Riviera, South-West France, the Balearic Islands, Portugal, Italy, the Alps, the Caribbean, Morocco, South Africa and Costa Rica. Le Collectionist emphasizes high curation and quality in its offerings. Following the recent raise, the company plans selective acquisitions in areas where demand for its curation is high and will scale its service and office footprint. It is also hiring aggressively to support that expansion. Le Collectionist operates a luxury travel platform that combines curated experiences, a scalable local-office network, and a tech platform that automates data collection. The company sources properties, welcomes customers via local teams, and guarantees the quality of each guest’s stay. It currently has 15 destinations with local offices, including Saint Tropez, Ibiza and Paros, and reports an average transaction value of €26,000 for a 10-day stay. Le Collectionist is accelerating international expansion, with plans to open over 100 local offices by 2020 and to grow its presence in the U.S. It is acquiring Bonder & Co, a firm specializing in luxury short-term rental and concierge services in Ibiza. The startup previously secured a first €2 million investment in early 2016.
