Travel Differently.
Stay Wild.

Atlas + Wild curates unique stays and wild experiences for people who crave experiential travel, connection over convenience, moments worth sharing, stories worth telling, and memories that feel deeply personal and authentic.

Sleep beneath the Northern Lights in a glowing glass igloo, hide away in a mirrored house that vanishes into the landscape, climb into treehouses nestled in ancient jungles, or share a fireside dinner with wildlife at a luxury safari camp. Every stay is handpicked for its striking beauty, authenticity, and sense of wonder. Travel that’s unforgettable and untamed.

Explore Atlas + Wild, where every trip becomes a story of discovery, a chance to step off the beaten path, and a way to connect deeply with both the world and each other. Let your journey be more than just a getaway. Immerse yourself in rich cultures, savor local cuisines, and explore places that feel hidden, sacred, and unforgettable. Take adventures that challenge you, like kayaking glacial waters, or climbing a frozen waterfall.

Atlas + Wild is travel reimagined: experiential travel that’s wild, intentional, and entirely your own.

For the most immersive experience, discover Atlas + Wild on the app.

What is experiential travel?
  • Embracing cultural immersion
    A willingness to learn about and participate in local traditions, cuisine, and crafts.
    • Seeking authenticity
      A desire to move beyond typical tourist experiences and find genuine moments with locals and unique aspects of a place. 
      • Active participation
        Instead of just watching, you want to “take part” in activities like cooking classes, workshops, or outdoor adventures. 
        • Openness to new experiences
          A readiness to step outside your comfort zone to try new things, even if it means making mistakes. 
          • Focus on learning and growth

            The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the culture and the world, leading to new perspectives and personal growth. 

            • Meaningful connection
              A desire to form genuine connections with people and places, rather than just visiting them.  
What are some examples of experiential travel?
  • Learning a traditional craft like weaving in Guatemala. 
  • Participating in a cooking class to learn to make a regional dish in Italy. 
  • Joining local artists in a songwriting workshop in a place like Nashville. 
  • Taking a bike tour aimlessly through the French countryside instead of a tour bus. 
  • Participating in a conservation effort or a volunteer project in Africa.
How are stays and experiences selected?

Nothing here is automated or mass-listed. Each stay and experience is carefully vetted for uniqueness, location, design, and the kind of experience it creates. If it doesn’t inspire curiosity or connection, it doesn’t make the cut.
