If we could bottle that “relaxed and totally taken care of” feeling, it would look a lot like Coral Reef Club in Barbados. This family-run boutique resort has been welcoming guests for decades—and it shows in all the best ways. Here’s what makes it special:

The Rooms: Colonial-style cottages tucked into tropical greenery give this place the feel of a Caribbean storybook.

Personal Touch: It's the kind of place where you instantly relax, and by the end of your stay everyone knows your name. (You’re not just a room number here!)

Beach & Spa Bliss: Stroll from a white-sand beach to an award-winning spa hidden in the tropical foliage. Total paradise found.

We think it’s safe to say Thailand is having a major moment. (Thank you, White Lotus.) And while the spotlight shines on the Land of Smiles, there’s one place that deserves your attention:

The Retreat, Koh Chang—a dreamy hideaway on the Gulf of Thailand. Sleek villas with private pools? Check. Beachfront dining with endless ocean views? Absolutely. A spa that takes relaxation to another level? Of course.

For those craving adventure, the island offers jungle treks, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and island-hopping excursions. Prefer a slower pace? Lounge in a private cabana, indulge in holistic spa treatments, or soak in the sunset with a cocktail in hand.

No matter how you unwind, this eco-conscious resort needs to be on your list.

If your idea of self-care includes a glass of Malbec and a vineyard view, we have a destination for you.

Hotel Entre Cielos in Mendoza, Argentina, is a boutique hideaway that nails the balance between indulgence and relaxation—because let’s be honest, wine is part of wellness too.

Mornings start with yoga facing the Andes, afternoons are for private tastings at the region’s best bodegas, and the spa? It’s next level, with a six-step outdoor hammam experience designed for peak relaxation. Add in a sunset soak and another pour of Malbec, and suddenly, stress doesn’t stand a chance.

Let’s plan a trip that’s good for the soul (and the wine collection).

With summer travel planning in full swing, Greece remains at the top of our clients’ list. And while this destination is packed with incredible stays, One&Only Kea Island is already in a league of its own.

Tucked away on the lesser-known island of Kea, this brand-new retreat offers a more exclusive side of the Cyclades. Sleek cliffside villas with private pools, a spa rooted in Greek wellness traditions, and private yacht access to hidden coves. Pair that with farm-to-table dining and sweeping views that seem to go on forever, and you may never want to leave.

If Greece is on your radar, this is the place to be. Let’s start planning!

Iceland keeps topping luxury travelers’ bucket lists…and for good reason!

This place is pure magic and dream for adventurers: soak in geothermal lagoons, walk along otherworldly black-sand beaches, and trek across glaciers (yes, all in one trip).

But the real bucket-list moment? Chasing the Northern Lights from the comfort of a glass-walled lodge or a luxury igloo. Add in volcanic hikes and gourmet dining, and you’ve got an adventure you’ll never forget.

Let’s start planning your Icelandic escape!
