The Maldives has no shortage of luxury resorts, but Patina Maldives? It's something special.

Even at full capacity, it feels like your own private island paradise – thanks to cleverly designed spaces and hidden nooks. Nine incredible restaurants, bars, and three food trucks serve up sustainable cuisine all day long. (Don't miss KŌEN: Japanese and Nordic flavors create some of the most memorable meals you'll ever have.)

But here's what really makes me smile: you can help seed coral reefs, care for rescued sea turtles, or spend your afternoon with wild dolphins.

Rio Sagrado is your perfect base for exploring Peru’s Sacred Valley—and just wait until you see the setting. Along the banks of the Urubamba River and surrounded by the Andes, this incredible property lets you experience the magic of the region in style.

Start your day with a scenic train ride to Machu Picchu, a true bucket-list adventure. Explore the ancient ruins, take in the views, and enjoy the quiet moments that make this place unforgettable. Back at Rio Sagrado, relax by the river, enjoy Peruvian dishes made with fresh, local ingredients, or just take in the peaceful beauty of the valley.

The secret to securing the perfect summer escape? Planning ahead for Ocean House Rhode Island. This Watch Hill retreat has everything I love about New England summers – beautiful private beaches, classic sailing adventures, and some of the best fresh seafood – with top-level services that keep guests coming back year after year.

And when I say top-level, we mean it: Ocean House is the first and only AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five-Star hotel in Rhode Island.

January might feel early to plan your summer escape, but the best rooms always book up early so let's start planning!

Travel is changing in exciting ways for 2025. I’m seeing smarter booking systems, personalized wellness-focused stays, and more opportunities to connect deeply with local cultures.

But before you pack those bags, let's talk about some important travel updates and reminders. Have you checked your passport expiration date lately? And if you're heading to the UK, you'll need to apply for their Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before your trip.

The Cyclades are stealing the spotlight in 2025, and the iconic Mykonos Blu Hotel (reopening this May) is the perfect spot to soak up this must-visit destination.

I can book you a VIP trip to experience this Greek island paradise. Their Island Bungalows offer unbelievable views, and I love recommending special touches like the Floating Breakfast - served right in your private villa's pool.

Another insider tip? Let me arrange for the hotel's signature 6-hour private driving tour. It's a great way to explore the island!

There's something magical about a resort that knows exactly where to place itself. Amanera resort sits 60 feet above Playa Grande, where just 25 casitas enjoy what might be the Caribbean's most spectacular address.

This Dominican Republic property spans 2,000 acres and features a stunning golf course – reimagined by Rees Jones from his father's original design, with more coastal holes than any course in the Western Hemisphere.

The Bay View Pool Casitas is my favorite spot to wake up (even if you sleep through sunrise - no judgment). For pure bliss, head to the spa for their signature Taíno-inspired treatments. A favorite evening ritual? Ordering a hand-rolled cigar and local rum to your private clifftop dinner.

Morning volcano hikes and afternoon snorkeling with sea lions? Yes, please! That's just a typical day at Pikaia Lodge in the Galápagos Islands. This eco-luxury lodge sits on top of an ancient volcanic crater, giving you the perfect home base for exploring one of Earth's most adventurous destinations.

The best part? You get to explore by land and sea. Hop on their private yacht to discover different islands, hike volcanic trails that look like another planet, and visit the legendary giant tortoises. After all the adventures, your spacious ocean-view room is just the retreat you need.

Insider Tip: Don't skip the educational programs - they bring the islands' unique wildlife and conservation story to life in ways that captivate both kids and adults.

There’s no better way to invest in your relationship than by traveling together. From honeymoons to anniversaries, consider these top destinations for romance this year:

Find a Beach: Seychelles offers luxury resorts and beaches that will take your breath away. Arrive in early May for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup on Mahé! Closer to home, Hawaii offers something special for every couple.

Go North: Treat yourselves to a five-star lodge in Banff National Park, Alberta. Hike, bike, or ski, then relax in the Banff hot springs. For something truly unique, head to Churchill, Manitoba to spot polar bears or go beluga boarding in Hudson’s Bay.

Go Overwater: Nothing says romance quite like an overwater bungalow. You’ll find these in the Maldives, French Polynesia, and Fiji.

Here's what I’m excited about for 2025: cruising is getting personal. This year, it's all about smaller ships, thoughtfully curated routes, and meaningful adventures that bring you closer to each destination.

Here's the kind of experience I’m talking about:

Ha Long Bay Heritage Cruise will bring you through Vietnam's legendary islands on a boutique ship that feels more like a floating luxury home. You’ll drift across emerald waters, kayak to hidden lagoons, and spend time with local fishing villages.

When you think of Tuscany, wine and pasta probably come to mind first. But here's a secret: it's also one of Europe's best wellness destinations!

The region is dotted with amazing natural hot springs where you can soak in healing, mineral-rich waters. Relax with spa treatments inspired by local herbs and flowers, start your mornings with yoga under olive trees, or take peaceful walks through Chianti's vineyards that feel more like exploring than exercise. Plus, you can join cooking classes to learn all about making healthy (and delicious) Tuscan dishes.

Get in touch to explore all that Tuscany has to offer or discover other trending wellness destinations for 2025!

If you haven’t heard of One&Only Mandarina yet, it’s time to see what all the excitement is about. Maybe you’ve seen it in a glossy Condé Nast feature or heard it mentioned as one of Mexico’s most sought-after resorts.
