A childhood spent zipping between the United Kingdom and Switzerland gave Blue Moon Escapes Founder and CEO Jessica Pugh a taste for travel, and she hasn’t slowed down since.

After spending close to two decades leading marketing efforts and managing events for luxury brands, Jessica made the leap into travel. A sabbatical spent journeying the length and breadth of Central and South America, finishing off the in an eco-lodge nestled in the trees on a private, Nicaraguan island prompted this move—the rest is passport stamp history.

When it comes to life’s journeys, we all have our preferences. Jessica’s penchant for adventure has led her up mountain passes in Bhutan, onto the powdery beaches of little-known Sao Tome and Principe, up volcanoes in Guatemala and across azure waters in the Maldives.

A nose for the latest in luxury means Blue Moon Escapes is well-versed on the most coveted stays across the globe, from hidden haciendas in Mexico and stunning chalets in Megeve to Tuscan castles and Icelandic retreats. Jessica needs to see it to believe it. This inquisitive nature means she’s racked up her fair share of miles across planes, trains, and rickshaws but has developed relationships with leading hoteliers and local experts from the Himalayas to the Greek Islands.
