Because not all weekends are created equal.
We’ve tried the apps, the shouty events, the group trips with strangers you’ll never see again. None of it landed. So we built what we wanted: small escapes with great people, good food, and zero weird vibes.
What vana is
vana designs small, design-led weekend escapes near London. Beautiful houses, thoughtful food, and a cohort you actually want to talk to. It feels easy because we handle the logistics you never have to see — curated, not crowded.
How it works
- Apply: Tell us about you — taste, pace, and vibe.
- Cohort: We curate a small, balanced group.
- Itinerary: Chef suppers, slow mornings, golden-hour moments.

The Art of Selectivity.
