About Us
Secret Escapes operates in 21 countries worldwide. We are the UK’s biggest members-only website that runs best-in-market sales of four-and five-star hotels and holidays, offering our members luxury travel deals at low prices.
Before starting Secret Escapes, we wondered why booking a holiday always felt like hard work – the price comparisons, the awful early morning flights just to get the best price, the huge range of possible hotels, both good and bad. Travel is, and should be, exciting – and booking a holiday should be a stress-free experience. That’s what we set out to achieve, and it is the philosophy that drives us on. We want to inspire people to escape, and we do so with amazing images, sharp, accessible writing, exciting destinations and unbeatable prices.
We already have millions of members worldwide, a social-media following the size of a small country and you can now find us everywhere from Spain to the US, from Sweden to Italy, Poland and Norway, from Germany to Switzerland, and elsewhere too. Founded in 2011, we’re (over 1000 of us globally) doing big things fast and it’s all very exciting.
Our Tech and Editorial blogs give you an insight into some of the key areas that make us what we are. Have a read about our CSR commitments to see what good souls we are too… even if we do say so ourselves.
Working for Secret Escapes in Scandinavia
Secret Escapes’ Swedish site launched in 2013 as the second territory worldwide after UK. Denmark and Norway followed shortly after. Our Scandinavian team is split in two offices; our funky main office in Holborn Circus, Central London and our Scandinavian main office in a beautiful location on Södermalm, Stockholm. We are a team of 20 incredibly driven people who enjoy the fast paced environment of the international travel industry and strive towards success. Our team is highly motivated and we work hard to expand and improve our unique product in a competitive market. Since our launch we have acquired 1.7 million Secret Escape members in Scandinavia… and counting…
Secret Escapes Values
We Make Stuff Happen
We are the people who get the job done. We ensure that what matters most happens first and fast. Together, we step up to own problems, not just successes.
We're Open-minded
We hire talented people and learn from their experience. We listen to alternate points of view (even when they feel uncomfortable). We might not always agree with a decision, but we can always be relied upon to get it done.
We Love Data
Extracting human insight from our data helps us make good decisions. We rigorously evidence our opinions, rather than just asserting them. We know what to measure and why BEFORE we start.
We Are Good People
Ability is a given, but integrity and effort are just as crucial. We take work seriously (ourselves, not so much…) and respect our diverse identities, talents and capabilities. We behave thoughtfully and look out for each other.
We Are Committed
We love a challenge, we get stuck in and we want to make an impact. Our organisation respects this effort and ensures everyone is supported - at work and in life well beyond the office.
