Officially the couple that got even better in the pandemic, Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas’s game is strong. It must be all those vacations they’ve taken around the world. They’ve hit travel, even in the pandemic, that it’s worth its own article so you too can travel like a Bond Girl and Oscar winner. Costa Rica Where to stay: You can do the private home thing if you want to get away from the paps like Ana and Ben, or check…
Simon Cowell, Gwyneth Paltrow, David and Victoria Beckham, native Barbadian Rihanna — and pretty much any A-lister coming through Barbados — stay here.

If you’ve ever spent time in the Caribbean, you know that it’s all about recharging your batteries. The weather, the food, the people – all of it. And since Silversands opened in Grenada, that part of the world has become even more quintessentially so. Silversands opened last December and put a down-to-earth spin on luxury. Yes, it still has all those creature comforts you’d want, but there’s a laid-back feeling to them. In other words, it’s the perfect place to…
This winter, ditch the puffy jacket and throw on a tank top and some sunscreen. And if you book between November 29 and December 2 this year, you’ll be shaping up to have a very Merry Christmas indeed.

A Private Island Set on a 300-acre private Caribbean island a six-minute boat ride off the coast of Antigua, Jumby Bay is completely undisturbed by the outside world. It’s reachable only by boat (they’ll hook you up with a private transfer ferry), with no cars in sight, and nothing else on the island except the Jumby Bay resort itself.

If there’s one hotel that best encompasses St Barts, it’s this one. To call it iconic is an understatement. According to Conde Nast Traveller, Eden Rock St Barts is the “Best Hotel in the World”, and we find it hard to disagree. This luxurious 5-star hotel has recently undergone major renovations, with all of its suites being redesigned. But don’t worry too much, that special 1950’s vintage vibe is still there. And let’s not forget about the private beach, where…
Round Hill Hotel and Villas Who Everyone, including royalty. Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan visited last year for a wedding of one of Harry’s close friends, and Selena Gomez, Simon Cowell, and Khloe Kardashian were all recently spotted too.

So, like we said: everyone. Why Montego Bay, Jamaica has…
If artists have annual world-class art conventions, and music-lovers have Reading and Leeds every summer, foodies have the sixth annual St. Barth’s Gourmet Festival, which is taking place from November 6th to November 10th this year.
