Art of Living by Aston Martin is the brand’s luxury lifestyle programme, created for those who want to “live life the Aston Martin way,” by indulging in curated events in areas such as travel, haute cuisine, sport, fashion and culture.
“Art of Living by Aston Martin offers guests something different, something they cannot get elsewhere. A mindfully curated collection of events provides guests with the opportunity to truly live life the Aston Martin way and become fully immersed in the brand. On every adventure, they will meet like-minded people with whom they can share these wonderful experiences. Every detail will be managed to ensure an experience of a lifetime, every time,” said Sebastien Delmaire, Director of AM Partnerships.
These experiences fall under three broad groups with some overlaps: Motor-sports, Luxury Lifestyle and Touring.
The touring experiences begin in Japan with ‘Hokkaido on Ice,’ where guests learn how to find the limit of an Aston Martin sports car on snow and ice alongside specialist Aston Martin driving instructors at the Tokachi International Circuit. This will be followed by driving through some of the world’s most breath-taking scenery in the Swiss Alps and the highways of Utah, USA while every other detail is looked after by the Art of Living team.
For Motor-sports enthusiasts, Aston Martin offers opportunities to get up close and personal at some of the most iconic motorsport events around the world from the Monaco Grand Prix to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Singapore Grand Prix, Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival. With access to exclusive enclaves and racing paddocks.
Aston Martin has teamed up with Waldorf Astoria to present this year’s guests with the opportunity to indulge in some true luxury lifestyle of both brands. It starts with ‘A Californian Adventure,’ which will see guests living the high life in Beverly Hills. Other experiences offered by the partnership include a tour of the Palace of Versailles in Paris before driving to the Champagne region via the Vallee de Chevreuse. The trip concludes in Reims, famous for being at the heart of Champagne production and also as the home of the French Grand Prix in times gone by. When guests are not behind the wheel of an Aston Martin sports car, they can indulge in superb cuisine during this gastronomic road trip, while staying in luxury accommodation provided by Waldorf Astoria.
