Be Privileged UNBOUND 2026

UNBOUND is Be Privileged's December 2026 edition, on Saturday 12 December, and it keeps the form the brand is known for: an exclusive takeover of a hotel for one night. This time the setting is, in the organisers' words, a forgotten 19th-century prison reborn as a luxurious boutique hotel, in North Holland and about 33 minutes from Amsterdam Airport. The party runs 20:00 to 02:00. The hotel is not named and no town is given: as with every edition, the exact address, parking and house rules arrive in a personal letter a few days beforehand.

The dress code is built around a collaboration with VoyeurX, a Dutch label for leather and fetish-inspired fashion. For women the brief is luxurious lingerie, lace, satin, leather, sheer fabrics, corsets, stockings and harness accents, in any colour except neon. For men it is tailored suits, tuxedos and waistcoats, with black welcome but colour allowed, and a touch of leather or an open collar encouraged.

Getting in is a two-step process. Be Privileged is a private membership community: membership is free but vetted with face and full-body photographs, open to couples and single ladies, and single men are not admitted. Members can bring guests with approval. The house rules are the brand's usual ones: sex is not allowed at Be Privileged events, consent is stated as no means no, and phones are not used for photography; a resident photographer covers the night.

On price, the organiser's own ticket shop was showing a single-lady ticket at about €80 and a couple ticket at about €190, each plus a small fee, when this page was written. Rooms with event entry included were listed from about €455, with several room types already sold out. Treat all of it as an indication and let the shop confirm the exact amount, and remember membership approval has to come first.
