About vana.

London is full of brilliant people. Meeting them is the tricky part. We design weekends where the setting, the company, and the rhythm just click.

why

Why we exist ?

Our why

Apps get tiring. Events can feel surface-level. Big group trips are random. We wanted something we’d actually look forward to:

short, design-led escapes where connection feels natural and the memories linger.

What we do.

  • Curated micro-escapes for people who want more from their weekends
  • Small, balanced groups so the vibe feels right
  • Boutique stays with character and calm — cinematic, not shouty
  • Long-table dinners that turn strangers into friends
  • Activities that feel natural, not forced

Our difference.

This isn’t a dating app in disguise. It isn’t a generic retreat either. It’s the in‑between: time away with people who get it. Less swiping, more laughing over wine.

People enjoying a beach bonfire at sunset with friends, relaxing by the warm fire on the sandy shore.
Cyclists enjoying a peaceful bike ride along a lush green countryside path.
A beautiful outdoor rooftop restaurant with stone arches, offering stunning city views and a lively dining atmosphere.
Elegant seafood platter with oysters, lemon, and garnishes on a fancy dinner table.
Vesuvio vintage Peugeot bike, restored for stylish city rides, ideal for exploring urban landscapes.
