Oyster hunting in Texel and sleeping in a gastro farm! Texel is the largest Wadden Island in The Netherlands and it consists of seven charming villages, all with their own atmosphere.

One of those places is Oosterend and there you will find a truly fantastic so-called gastro farm: 'Op Oost'.

A great place for a culinary escape! It opened doors in 2019. 'Op Oost' is the ideal starting point for hiking, bird watching or just enjoying nature. However, our favourite activity is this: oyster hunting. You can do that on your own or you can book a tour with a professional oyster man.

You will learn all about the oyster, its history, how to gather oysters and how to open them. And, of course, it includes an oyster tasting with a glass of Vuurzee, Cuvée Prestige or Vonkelbier. In the evening, you can go back to 'Op Oost' and enjoy a great dinner, with only locally sourced ingredients.

Looking for a short-stay? Texel is welcoming you!

Stardome Peru is a one-of-a-kind dome boutique hotel, tucked between Cusco and Machu Picchu in Peru. It's co-founded and run by the local indigenous Quechuan community. So it offers firsthand cultural immersions and transformational experiences led by locals.

This ultra-remote venue features a one-of-a-kind geodesic dome giving 360 degree views of surrounding countryside and an incredible view of the sky at night. There are five suites on the bottom floor of the dome, while the top floor is home to the immersive StarDeck.

This special deck features floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a telescope for stargazing. There is also Restaurant Apu, showcasing the refined culinary heritage of Peru and highlighting local chefs.

Looking for a transformational getaway? This is it!

Be one of the first to sleep in a 1000 year old castle in Umbria 🤩 Once in a while, we love to highlight highly deluxe places and Hotel Castello di Reschio is one of them. It used to be a castle for over 1.000 years, sitting against the background of ancient rolling green hills in Umbria, Italy. Since just a couple of months, this hotel-once-castle has been welcoming visitors for the first time!

The reborn castle is truly a place of endless diversion. There are ramparts to retreat to, terraces to dine on, views to gaze at, fireplaces to sit by, deep bathtubs to sink into, and a glorious spa to be pampered in (which used to be an ancient wine cellar). Run by the Bolza family, the hotel offers a total of 36 meticulously designed rooms and suites.

During the day, you can relax of course, but also enjoy activities like paddleboarding or fishing on the estate's lake, wildlife spotting with the resident gamekeeper, tennis lessons, cycling excursions or immersive cooking classes. Truly wonderful!

How about a cooking experience with a Sicilian Duchess? If you make plans to travel to Sicily next summer, you should pay a visit to Nicoletta Lanza Tomasi. She’s an Italian duchess married to Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi, the Duke of Palma.

They live in a stunning historic house by the sea: the Palazzo Lanza Tomasi. Nicoletta not only descends from a noble family, but she also happens to be a fabulous cook who organises cooking classes in her palazzo.

After a visit to one of the colourful food markets in Palermo, the duchess will learn you all about the island's intriguing cooking style!

If you really want to get 'off the beathen path' in Jordan, we can't think of a better way than to walk or ride the trails that traverse the spectacular Jordan landscapes. And the Jordan Bike Trail is one of them!

It's a 730 km cycling route running from Um Qais in the north to Aqaba in the south. Is it a challenging journey? Oh yes! It's quite physical indeed - but also very rewarding if you love eco-adventure and you want to get closer to the people, the land and the fascinating culture of Jordan.

The Jordan Bike Trail offers a lot to explore beyond the tourist hot spots. Places like Wadi Hidan in the centre of Jordan or Shobak Castle in the south - just to name a few.

Along the way, you can stay in a local's family home or you can spend the night with the Bedouins. The best period to cycle the Jordan Bike Trail is springtime. Ready to block 10 days in your agenda?

We have just discovered an exhilarating climbing experience in New York: City Climb. This is sure to get your blood pumping!

It's located at 30 Hudson Yards above the Edge observatory. At the newly opened City Climb you can climb a true skyscraper for unobstructed views of the city.

It starts with a safety briefing and afterwards two guides will join you on the climb (groups of max. 8 persons). The guides will get you suited up in protective gear and a harness and then you will head to the first viewing platform. The guides will take pictures and wear a helmet with a GoPro. So you just have to worry about taking in all the excitement and views!

The building has two viewing platforms and after climbing 161 outdoor steps on a 45-degree incline (adrenaline kick!), the final one is at almost 400m. This second viewing platform at the top goes in a complete circle around the tower.

Truly amazing! Ready to enjoy the highest open-air ascent in the world?

13/03/2022

If you long to see the northern lights, but don't fancy a trip to Scandinavia in its cold, dark winter, you can enjoy a three-hour flight with departures from several regional airports in the UK (London Gatwick, Manchester, Glasgow, etc.).

The flights are scheduled between 23 February and 27 March. Just a suggestion: if you plan to do a city trip to Edinburgh in March, you can join the northern lights flight on 26 March.

After a pre-flight talk by astronomers, you are accompanied on board by Pete Lawrence, a regular astronomer on the BBC's Sky at Night. He will give a commentary of what can be seen outside. Of course, the plane is darkened inside to enable the best views, with spectacular constellations on all sides.

Fasten your seatbelts for this heavenly experience!

A road trip to the Grand Canyon for a camping adventure is indeed a classic one. However, if you are not quite into the idea of the stress of pitching a tent, try 'Under Canvas Grand Canyon', an ultra-chic glamping setup. It's located just outside the Grand Canyon's South Rim. Here you can immerse yourself in the best parts of nature, but in a highly comfortable way 🤩

Explore the Sinai Trail in Egypt with Bedouin tribes! The Sinai Trail is Egypt's first long-distance hiking path and winds roughly 230 kilometers from the Gulf of Aqaba into the mountainous interior of the country, all the way to Mount Katherine, the highest mountain in Egypt. The complete trail, with camels carrying all backpacks and gear, takes two weeks. If you want, you can also opt for shorter multiple-day walks and you will always be accompanied by male members of three Bedouin tribes, who will prepare food and tell their mysterious stories during campfire dinners. March through May and September through November are the best periods to enjoy the Sinai Trail!

If you want to take your Northern Lights watching to the next level, then the Panorama Glass Lodge in Iceland is great choice! This accommodation with a simple and clever design is about 35 minutes driving from Reykjavik. It offers an incredible view of the Icelandic landscape and night sky thanks to its unique large glass windows that surround the bed (and yes, there are window blinds for the wall if more privacy is needed 😀 ).

Tinos...your unspoiled Greek island! Ever heard of it? It would surprise us 😆 There are 50 villages on this Greek island, without the hordes of tourists of course, and most of them have at least one restaurant where they offer gorgeously simple, local dishes. Every moment of the year has its charm to travel to Tinos, but May is definitely a great option. Looking for Greek authenticity? Tinos will let you experience Greece like few other have... But just keep it a secret to yourself 😉

There are a few things that actually have to be seen to be believed, but Arctic Bath is one of them. It's a highly luxurious floating hotel in the epic scenery of Swedish Lapland, located on the Lule River (the closest airport - in Luleå - is a 70-minute drive away). This unique spa hotel is really a design masterpiece!

Ready for your first aerobatic flight? The Goodwood Flying School in West Sussex (UK) offers a number of exciting flying experiences that give you the chance to enjoy the breathtaking Sussex coastline and countryside. Flying with a Boeing Stearman N2S3 biplane or a 1943 Harvard sounds great, but our favourite one is an aerobatic flight with an ex-military training aircraft.

Sleeping on the water surrounded by vineyards 🤩 If you are planning to travel to the Provence later this year, then why not considering a stay in an eco-cabin, nestled on the water and surrounded by the famous vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape?

This is a paradise-like place for wine-lovers: Coucou Grand Cépages. The innovative floating huts can accommodate couples or families up to 5 persons. These huts can be accessed by boat or pontoon.

Last week, we travelled to the Provence and one of the hidden gems we fell in love with was La Ferme Du Pezet in Villes-sur-Auzon, close to the Mount Ventoux. It's one of those few places where everything comes together so wonderfully.

The setting is just magical... La Ferme du Pezet has an expansive terrace overlooking a panoramic view of vineyards and a sunset over the mountains in the distance. The food is 100% 'cuisine provençale' (do try the creamy peas, asparagus and crispy ham!) and the wine list is fantastic!

We have found a place for you in Sri Lanka that is unrivalled by anything that you have seen before... It's located in a wonderful natural setting, in the rural Puttalam district of Sri Lanka (yes, one of the most authentic regions of the island!). In this isolated and paradise-like area you will find The Mudhouse. The accommodation is fantastic, the food is amazing and there are plenty of activities also. From dolphin tours or cooking lessons to biking or spotting elephants. Nice to know: at The Mudhouse, there is no electricity at night. So lighting is provided by lots of candles and lanterns, truly making you wonder if you have wandered into another century...

“Costa Rica” means rich coast in Spanish. Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus) named it that when he saw the beauty of the country. Costa Rica is famous for its beautiful beaches. With coastlines on the Pacific and Caribbean, it’s home to some of the best playas in the world! The best time to visit Costa Rica for a beach vacation is during dry season, particularly January through March and October for the Caribbean.

Wow 😍 aerial view of Heart Reef a unique coral formation located in the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Heart Reef is best experienced from the air by helicopter or seaplane, as visitors are unable to snorkel or dive there due it's protected status. Many tour companies will combine a scenic flight over Heart Reef with other breathtaking spots in the Whitsundays, including Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet.

About destinationX

destinationX is an immersive storytelling travel event for 21st century explorers who are looking for unforgettable destinations and experiences. At the heart of our concept is this: one stage, one storyteller and a room full of travel aficionados. destinationX, an invitation-only event format, offers you a secret discovery tour along unknown places, hidden gems to eat & sleep and unusual travel experiences that will excite you long after.

Why destinationX?

There are a lot of great travel websites, magazines and travel guides out there, but the amount of information is simply overwhelming. Moreover, the tide of globalized sameness makes the search for hidden gems even more challenging.
