Travelers, take note: Bali is not the only Indonesian island worth visiting. In fact, considering how popular it’s become, it might be one you’ll want to avoid if you’re seeking a tranquil escape. Those in the know already jet off to Sumba instead, a more remote island where NIHI has one of the most beautiful resorts in the world. But if you want to go somewhere that’s even lesser known, head over to Rote. The island south of Timor is…
The Maldives is the ultimate paradisical destination. The archipelago in the Indian ocean is not only synonymous with warm, sunny weather, but also with lush vegetation, incredibly clear waters, and a host of luxury resorts peppered around the various atolls. In fact, there are so many high-end properties with killer amenities in the country that it’s hard to pick one for your vacation. But in 2027, you won’t have that problem. Next year, Bvlgari is opening its first-ever Maldives resort,…

Whether it’s in Rwanda, Ubud, or New Zealand, these are the treehouse hotels that are worth traveling for. The World’s Best Treehouse Hotels There is something about sleeping suspended in a canopy of ancient trees that throws back to your childhood. But treehouses have evolved from childhood goals into luxury…
It’s official: SingleThread is taking their show on the road, and they’re going international. They’re not setting up shop in just any locale either, because if you can make it in a country that has more Michelin stars than France, you know that you have serious street cred. SingleThread founders Kyle and Katina Connaughton have never been interested in the obvious move. In building Healdsburg’s three-Michelin-starred farm-to-table landmark (one of the world’s most celebrated restaurants), they did so deliberately and…
When a resort sits near a 10-million-year-old rainforest and on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, it’s already something special. But Datai doesn’t leave it at that. For those looking to take the road less traveled, The Datai Langkawi makes it worth your while. Photo courtesy of The Datai Langkawi. About The Datai Langkawi The Datai Langkawi lives in harmony with nature instead of treating it as an accessory. Set on one of the top ten beaches…
The farm stay has officially grown up. Gone are the days of rustic charm meaning a lumpy mattress and questionable plumbing. At the next gen of farmhouse hotels, Egyptian cotton 1,000 thread count sheets are table stakes, as are Michelin-caliber kitchens. And yes, there are actual cows somewhere on the premises. Whether you want to press your own olive oil in Andalusia, ride Lusitano horses in Portugal, or detox in the Philippine jungle, there’s a luxury farm for that. These…
We all have that friend who ends up on Jeff’s boat for the summer. They’re invited to hang with Kendall in Aspen for the holidays, and get a lift to St. Mo for The ICE event put on by the oligarch of the week. They always seem to end up at hotels that oftentimes aren’t even the most exclusive or expensive, but are undoubtedly cool. These are the spots—the destination hotels to hang with the cool kids this summer. Europe…
Japan is one of those rare places that never gets old. Saying it gets old would be like saying you’ve been to Aspen too many times to ski. Or that you drank too much rosé in in the South of France to ever return. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve visited – there’s always something new, and something old, that keeps you coming back. Besides restaurants with more Michelin Stars than even the birthplace of Michelin itself, Japan as…
One way to calm the nervous system when it’s on overload is to leave the house and spend some time in nature. But that’s easier said than done when you live in a busy city. A long walk on the beach or a short stroll in the forest would definitely improve your mood, but it’s not always possible. So, if you’re desperate for some peace and quiet, it might be time to take off somewhere far away, where nature is…
Travelers to Cambodia don’t usually spend much time in Phnom Penh. The capital city has long been considered an airport city — a quick stop on the way to Siem Reap. And visitors focus on Siem Reap for one good reason: Angkor. Angkor is the world’s largest archeological site so it is hard to pass on. While it’s hard to imagine travelers ever ignoring Siem Reap entirely, things have been slowly but surely shifting for Phnom Penh. It’s becoming a…
