Secret Escapes: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

At Secret Escapes, they negotiate exclusive rates for luxury hand-picked hotels and holidays in the UK and abroad, at up to 60% off the price you'd pay by booking anywhere else. How have they done it? Well, even the most luxurious hotels out there don't like having empty rooms... For access to their members-only rates, all you have to do is sign up to Secret Escapes with your email address and nothing else. It doesn't cost a penny, and never will. In return, they will give you access to rates for hotels and holidays you'll struggle to find anywhere else, and if you do they will match their price - that's a guarantee.

About FundedIQ's Secret Escapes Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Secret Escapes is left off this page rather than filled in.
