We’re ragged, exhausted, and sick and tired of feeling ragged and exhausted. Whichever side of the political divide you’re on, this election season took an acute psychic toll — and we’re probably not the only ones feeling it. We’re also probably not the only ones desperate for hopeful escapism. As our post-election public service to you, here are beautiful places in remote corners of the earth where we’d like to be right now — places we dream of discovering or long to return to — far, far, far (there’s no such thing as far enough) from any madness.

We applaud of 2024 and the many Fathom Favorites that made the cut. And we have suggestions for even more hotels that are intimate, idiosyncratic, independent, and under the radar. (And anything but the usual suspects spotted in influencers’ Instagrams.)

We applaud of 2024. So many Fathom Favorites are on the list — including jaw-dropping beauties like Lake Como’s ( #2), Hong Kong’s
( #5), and Tulum’s ( #48) — we would have loved to see even more hotels that are intimate, idiosyncratic, independent, and under the radar. (And anything but the usual suspects spotted in influencers’ Instagrams.)

So we came up with a few additions to the list.

From mountains to prairies to deserts to oceans white with foam, we’ve rounded up spectacular places across North America to get back in touch with your wild side.

* a fantastic floral fantasy

All Hail the American Cliché!

As f*cked up as this country is politically ATM, there’s no denying its sensational beauty and natural gifts. (Actually, this being the U.S., there probably are some Great American Beauty Deniers, but let’s not fall down that dark rabbit hole — and especially not on her birthday.) From dazzling mountain peaks to cool and crisp lakes, we’re choosing to spend this July 4th showcasing special spots across this land made for you and me, along with the American characters that have gone into the making of it.

Pack your blue jeans and binoculars. Today we’re experiencing so much joy.

We’re in that transitional season that drives New Yorkers crazy: Can we put away the winter coat already or what? This is when we envy our West Coast friends, with their sheet tops and desert super blooms. Weather-wearing and stoked for spring, we’re dreaming of stripping down in California. In this week’s Substack, we’re diving into six serene skinny dipping spots, a human-sized nest in Big Sur, where to find the darkest of dark skies, and tips for finding chill surf breaks.

“At the northern border where Italy meets France and Switzerland, lies Val d’Aosta, the country’s tiniest region. Known for its lush valleys and soaring peaks, Val d’Aosta is home to Courmayeur, Italy’s subtly superb mountain village and ski area. Situated on the sunny side of Mont Blanc, Courmayeur is often overlooked in favor of Chamonix, its neighbor on the other side of the mountain.

After spending a week in Courmayeur and an afternoon in Chamonix, I will never return to Chamonix, a town a little too attractive to package-seeing tourists, totally wanting in charm, and hopelessly lacking the things that I love so much about traveling in Italy.” Fathom’s contributing editor , debriefs a weekend in the Italian ski heaven.

We just got back from @forestis.dolomites, a hotel we’ve been dying to visit since we first learned about it — the restructuring of an old Hapsburg mountain home, the thoughtful rebranding, the strong eco cred behind every elegant detail. It did not disappoint. If anything, it overdelivered. The restaurant was like a theater (never seen anything like it anywhere); the majestic Dolomites the main show. From every angle, all you ever see are trees, mountains, clouds, and sky. Is there another human being out there? Not as far as you can see. (Literally.) Ski, spa, eat, sleep, dream — then do it all again tomorrow. Yeah. No complaints here. Just 💕💕💕 #fathomontheroad with @pavianyc #dolomites #winterwonderland
