Amal and George Clooney hosting The Albies

Satopia Travel, in partnership with the Clooney Foundation for Justice (CFJ), is proud to announce the launch of an extraordinary hosted experience. This unique opportunity offers the chance to engage with leading global justice initiatives and includes a luxurious stay at Passalacqua, nestled on the stunning shores of Lake Como, Italy. The announcement of this once-in-a-lifetime experience aligns with The Albies – held at the New York Public Library this week– CFJ’s annual award event celebrating defenders of justice and human rights from around the world.
Justice, like war, must be waged; it doesn’t just happen on its own. To achieve that, CFJ gathers evidence of mass human rights abuses, provides free legal support to victims, and works to ensure that perpetrators are held to account. The fight for justice has some difficult foes and we are staring down some alarming global trends.
The Albies are named after Justice Albie Sachs, who is revered for his heroic commitment to ending apartheid in South Africa. They honour courageous individuals who have taken a stand and faced tremendous personal risk to combat injustice. The Albies are a way to shine a protective light on these many brave individuals who have devoted their lives to defending the lives of others.
This partnership between Satopia Travel and the Clooney Foundation for Justice represents a unique opportunity for individuals to have exclusive access to contribute to and learn about critical justice initiatives while enjoying a curated, high-end travel experience in one of Italy’s most picturesque destinations. 
The “Hosted Experience by the Clooney Foundation for Justice” in Lake Como, invites participants to:
 

  • Engage with the CFJ’s mission to advance global justice
  • Meet with CFJ’s leadership and participate in discussions on philanthropy and justice
  • Opportunities for long-term collaboration with the foundation
  • Exclusive garden party hosted by Amal and George Clooney
  • Private dinners with the CFJ team
  • Luxury accommodation at Passalacqua on Lake Como
  • A four-night, all-inclusive experience
     

The experience will be hosted at Passalacqua, an 18th-century villa turned luxury hotel on the shore of Lake Como. This exquisite property, with its rich history and stunning views of the lake, provides an ideal setting for reflection, learning and networking with like-minded individuals.
Lake Como, known for its dramatic beauty and tranquil atmosphere, has long been a retreat for artists, writers, and now, champions of justice. Its proximity to Milan makes it an accessible yet secluded location for this unique event.
“We are proud to announce this unparalleled opportunity ahead of The Albies this week” said Emma Ponsonby, CEO of Satopia Travel, CEO of Satopia Travel. “Our collaboration with the Clooney Foundation for Justice, set against the breathtaking beauty of Lake Como, allows our guests to engage deeply with global justice efforts while enjoying a truly remarkable travel experience.”

Over the course of a four-night, all-inclusive experience, guests will meet CFJ’s leadership, participate in discussions on global justice, and enjoy private dinners and a garden party hosted by Amal and George Clooney. Open by application to a select group of up to 20 contributing guests, this intimate setting ensures a personal connection to the foundation and opportunities for long-term collaboration. The experience will take place next summer, 2025.
