What is NAVIS Curated Collection?

NAVIS Curated Collection showcases the most exceptional luxury experiences across yachts and yachting, hospitality, restaurants, SPAs, private flights, and cars, recognized through a meticulous evaluation process conducted by NAVIS Magazine’s expert editorial team.

The NAVIS Curated Protocol is a proprietary, rigorous evaluation conducted by NAVIS editorial experts through an extensive on-site review, guided by a confidential form consisting of 70 to 200 detailed evaluation points.

In the case of a hotel these include but are not limited to:

• Lobby Experience
• Pool Area Evaluation
• Room & Comfort
• Garden & Outdoor Areas
• Fitness & Wellness Facilities
• Sustainability & Green Practices
• Safety & Technology
• Gastronomy Offerings
• Guest Experience and Satisfaction
• Location & Accessibility

Each category includes no fewer than 10 specific criteria. Results from these evaluations are processed through a proprietary NAVIS algorithm, generating a final confidential score from 1 to 5. Only properties scoring above 4 qualify for the NAVIS Curated Collection, receiving special recognition and complimentary benefits.

NAVIS Curated status is exclusively reserved for properties that surpass the challenging 4+ rating, marking them as exemplary in luxury, quality, innovation, and excellence. Given the limited space available in NAVIS Magazine's six annual editions, careful consideration is given to selecting a small, elite group of properties each year. While every evaluated property receives editorial coverage and NAVIS media exposure, only those scoring above 4 benefit from enhanced, prestigious recognition and visibility.

Recipients of the NAVIS Curated Badge and Compass Symbol are instantly identified as global benchmarks in luxury, refinement, and excellence. This recognition carries the weight of NAVIS Magazine’s 15-year reputation as a trusted authority within HNWI and UHNWI communities worldwide. It immediately assures guests and consumers that their experience will surpass even the highest expectations.

Properties interested in consideration for the NAVIS Curated Collection may submit their intent through the NAVIS website contact form. The editorial team will review all submissions and reach out for additional information or to confirm selection eligibility. Due to the limited evaluation capacity each year, submission does not guarantee evaluation. There is no fee to submit for consideration.

However, upon request, NAVIS can provide properties with a detailed report highlighting improvement areas to help achieve the coveted 4+ rating in future evaluations.
