Inspiring Travel Destinations to Plan Now

If you haven't been on a proper vacation for almost two years or have been waiting to take that bucket list trip, now is the time! With 2022 upon us and with extensive COVID fatigue, we are all ready to act on our New Year's Travel List. I'm here to help you decide with some fantastic inspiration trips if you're ready to go. So, whether you're dreaming of Portugal, Italy, or the Caribbean, we will work together to make your trip exceptional!

The Maldives

Is there any place on earth that epitomizes the idea of luxe relaxation than The Maldives? Located in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives consists of a chain of about 1,200 small coral islands. With its overwater bungalows and cyan crystal water, the beaches and weather are genuinely picture-perfect, and each resort is home to its own island. As a result, the Maldives is perfect for a romantic secluded getaway or, of course, the ultimate honeymoon.

Six Senses Laamu is the only resort in the Laamu Atoll, just five degrees north of the Equator in the southern Maldives. The resort strives towards self-sufficiency and zero waste, and offers a wide range of water sports, including water skiing, surfing, night diving, and snorkeling in the island's coral-rich house reef. The well-known surfing wave, Ying Yang, breaks just offshore. Guests can also take advantage of numerous excursions such as a picnic on a private sandbank and exploring neighboring islands. In addition, you can choose from a combination of on-land and over-water villas! It may take time to get there, but once you arrive, you'll never want to leave!

Anguilla

Anguilla, a small island a few miles from St. Maarten, is one of the most luxe places in the Caribbean. Belmond Cap Juluca is a dream-like escape spread across the Caribbean's most beautiful beach. Feel the breeze blowing across your private terrace as every room is a beachfront haven. Be positioned to discover an island famed for pristine sands, broad coral reefs, and an unforgettable culinary scene. Or simply breathe the sea air, relax, and let the hours float by.

You can sail to a private island, snorkel, fish, and kayak, or spend your days relaxing in the sun; yes, you deserve this!

Puglia

Think the Amalfi Coast without the crowds, for now. The Puglian coast on the Adriatic Sea is a stunning coastline best explored by water or driving (easy driving in Puglia!) while discovering the amazing towns of Ostuni, Lecce, Polignano di Mare, Matera, and Alberobello. Accommodations here are mainly Masserias, typically old stone farm homes now boutique-style hotels. Puglia is perfect for romantic getaways and family vacations.

Relais La Sommità is a gem located in the heart of one of Puglia's most quaint towns, Ostuni, also referred to as "The White City." With just 15 rooms, you enjoy an intimate and genuinely exclusive atmosphere. Their Michelin star restaurant is the cherry on top. The property's views and the town, which sits high above sea level, are breathtaking.

Borgo Egnazia, located in Savelletri di Fasano, is in the hills of the Itria Valley. The property is inspired by a typical Puglian village. Your family will enjoy impeccable service, delicious food experiences, two beautiful private beaches, and the scenic San Domenico Golf surrounded by ancient olive trees with views that stretch to the sea. The perfect multigenerational family vacation.

Portugal

Belmond's Reid's Palace is “paradise perfected in a clifftop haven."

Surrounded by lush subtropical gardens, Reid's Palace on the island of Madeira perches above picture-perfect Funchal Harbor. Having welcomed guests for more than a century, they've perfected the art of indulgence. Anticipate gorgeous panoramic views, innovative cuisine, and the superb service of a bygone era—you may never want to leave. Take a thrilling boat ride across the waves to Madiera's Desertas Islands, hike to the pinnacle of the São Lourenço Peninsula, or watch the sunrise from the 1,818-metre Pico do Arieiro, Madeira's third-highest peak!

Venice

The Gritti Palace overlooking the Grand Canal boasts one of the most enthralling views of the lagoon city. Venice's most famous hotel, The Gritti Palace, emerged from a carefully designed refurbishment more captivating than ever. It is a true historical treasure where heritage and culture have blended with renewed Venetian style. With attentive service, a delectable culinary experience, and new avenues for relaxation and pleasure, The Gritti Palace is a refined version of its iconic self. Nothing else in Venice compares to this hotel!

Turks and Caicos

The elegance of white sand greeting crystal waters inspires the timeless luxury of the iconic and original Grace Bay Club, situated on one of the world's most beautiful beaches. Here, experience breathtaking sunrise strolls and romantic sunset dinners with sophistication. In addition, guests enjoy access to myriad activities, a selection of pools, and innovative dining offerings.

With excellent partners in every corner of the world, you'll be well taken care of and entitled to exclusive amenities such as daily breakfast for two, upgrade based upon availability, hotel credits, free Wifi, and early check-in / late checkout (based upon availability).

So many excellent choices and such little time! Let's get out there and start experiencing the world again. I am so ready - are you? Reach out, and we'll start planning now!
