Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco

It’s time to celebrate! Not only have we made it through the past eighteen months, but we’re finally able to get out into the world and explore once again.

You’ve postponed, you’ve dreamed of and you’ve plotted your perfect vacation, but now it’s finally the time to make those travel plans a reality.

Of course, as with so many aspects of the world today, trip planning looks different than it used to. In order to keep things as stress-free as possible, for this issue we consulted with a number of industry experts to get their best advice on navigating post-pandemic travel.

We’ve also got the perfect places for adventuring by land, sea and sky; family reunions for every season; a tour of Sicilian culinary culture; city escapes to Denver, Miami and Charleston; blissful resorts for finding wellness in Greece; the case for visiting Mérida, Mexico; and why all of those honeymoons postponed in 2020 should happen in the Maldives.

If Denver, Palermo or Mérida make your upcoming travel list, we’ve made it easy to plan for them with our “Perfect Day” itineraries. Informed by locals, these city guides include the best places to eat, explore and relax in these very different but equally fascinating destinations.

We’ve also provided plenty of hotel and resort recommendations from our exclusive SELECT collection; not only will our agency book you the best luxury accomodations wherever you go, but we’ll ensure you have access to plenty of VIP perks and amenities while you’re there.

The world is ready to welcome you back, and we’re here to help make every one of your long-awaited travel dreams come true.

ADVENTURING BY LAND, SEA AND SKY Everyone has their own idea of an adventurous holiday. For some, it’s high adrenalin descents on a mountain bike, or donning an oxygen tank and exploring deep below the ocean waves. There are those who seek aerial views — the higher the better — while still others prefer to remain firmly planted on the ground with a hike. Whatever your preferences for an active trip, here are some of the best places to explore on, under and above the earth’s dynamic surface.

Unique aqua adventures

SEA: THE COVE AT ATLANTIS, BAHAMAS Located within the Bahamas’ renowned Atlantis Resort, The Cove at Atlantis is an adults-only retreat that offers 600 luxury suites with views of the ocean and two beaches the hotel sits between. When you’re not relaxing by the pool in a private cabana, you’ll likely be out adventuring on the very waters you see from your room.

In a region that has consistently been voted the “Best Place to Dive with Big Animals,” go below in search of reefs and wrecks on half-day dive trips for certified divers. If you’re not yet certified, snuba trips are an amazing alternative; they allow you to descend as far as fifteen feet below the surface while still attached to the boat by air hose — the perfect underwater adventure, no tank required!

You can also head out on full day trips with the resort’s yacht and boat charters; they offer fishing, water sports and snorkeling experiences, each capped off with a catered island-style lunch. All you have to remember

FA M I LY

A FAMILY REUNION FOR EVERY SEASON After so long of being apart, reunions with our loved ones feel sweeter than ever. Perhaps you’re considering marking the occasion with a celebratory family trip, during which both young and old can spend quality time together and explore a new place (a novelty unto itself these days).

If so, we’ve got four destinations — one for every season — that are fun and engaging for any generation, as well as hotels that will go above and beyond for your whole group. Here’s where (and when) to enjoy some ultimate

The Peninsula Chicago

family reunions:

SPRING: CHICAGO, THE PENINSULA CHICAGO Join Midwesterners as they happily emerge from winter into a city full of blooming tulips and warmer weather. Chicago is undoubtedly one of America’s most family-friendly cities, and a stay at The Peninsula Chicago will place you at the center of the action. Junior guests are welcomed with chocolate chip cookies, popcorn and gummy bears, then treated to a variety of other fun amenities during their stay.

When you’re ready to start adventuring, there are plenty of sights within walking distance or a short drive of the hotel.

Take the whole family to a game at Wrigley Field (Chicago-style hot dogs obligatory!) or head to nearby Navy Pier for both the Chicago Children’s Museum and Centennial Wheel. You’ll want to take a picture (or 100) at Cloudgate in Millennium Park, and every member of the family will marvel at the natural wonders within the Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium. Traveling with older kids? They can easily join their Mies-loving elders on an architecture boat tour along the river, while the younger ones will be quickly engaged by the children’s programming at the Chicago Architecture Center.

SUMMER: BOSTON, FAIRMONT COPLEY PLAZA Summer is a great time to visit “America’s Walking City,” and even better when you set up camp at the centrallylocated Fairmont Copley Plaza. There you’ll be greeted by the hotel’s official ambassador: a black Labrador retriever named Cori Copley.

Amongst its many offerings, Boston has a plethora of learning opportunities for every age. The Harvard Museum of Natural History, for example, houses 12,000 specimens selected from the university’s research collections; kids, parents and grandparents can marvel over the meteors, dinosaur fossils and animals on display, then enjoy a walk through the grounds of this historic institution.

Fairmont Copley Plaza

Further east, the Boston Children’s Museum also provides plenty of outstanding interactive exhibits for younger kiddos. When you’re ready to explore outside, head out on a whale watching tour to see migrating humpbacks — a true thrill for any age — or visit a regional historic site like Fort Independence on Castle Island.

Finally, Walden Pond is just a half-hour away when a summer cool-off is needed. This quaint swimming hole will satisfy the kids’ need to splash around, as well as your family’s resident Thoreau-lover who’s been itching to see a replica of the writer’s small cabin.

As for how to fill your time, the hardest part is deciding where to start! For a full day of entertainment and rides, begin at IMG Worlds of Adventure, Dubai’s largest indoor theme park. It’s the size of twenty-eight football fields, and since there’s an entire zone dedicated to MARVEL, it’s hard to know who will be more excited — the kids or adults. There’s also the wildly popular LEGOLAND, Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, Wild Wadi Waterpark for those extra-hot days, and a Museum of Illusion that’s bound to induce more than one wide-eyed stare.

When you’re ready for a bird’s eye view of this captivating city, head to the tallest building in both Dubai and the world: the Burj Khalifa. Topping out at 2,716.5 feet and 162 stories high, kids (and adults) who love a good fact will be enthralled by this wonder of architecture. Not only is it nearly the height of three Eiffel Towers, but it holds seven world records, including “highest observation deck” and “elevator with the longest travel distance” on earth.

Andronis Concept Wellness Resort

WELLNESS

Andronis Concept Wellness Resort

WELLNESS THROUGH THE AGES The past eighteen months have been disorienting, to say the least. Routines have been in flux, our senses of identity have felt confused and uncertainty has washed over us time and time again. You’re not alone if you find yourself seeking a kind of realignment, of wanting to once again feel centered in your own body.

We understand these wishes, and that they often come with a desire to be somewhere peaceful and new — a place that’s entirely different from home. That’s why we’ve focused on one of our favorite wellness destinations in the world: Greece.

This land of soothing blue seas, sunny whitewashed houses and ancient history is where many foundations of today’s wellness philosophies were born. Add to that an exceptional climate and famously nourishing cuisine, and you’ve got the restorative holiday you’ve been dreaming of. Here are four diverse options for experiencing true wellness in this storied Mediterranean land.

THE FOUR SEASONS ASTIR PALACE HOTEL - ATHENS South of the Greek capital, on the chic Athens Riviera, the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel offers both relaxation and unparalleled history from its waterfront location.

Of course, you’d be forgiven if you chose not to leave the hotel at all; its 75 luxurious acres are home to eight excellent restaurants, three private beaches and an opulent spa. However, if you are willing to venture out, you’ll be rewarded with the healing powers of nearby Lake Vouliagmeni. The waters of this ancient lake have a remarkably high concentration of salt and minerals, combining to offer numerous physiological benefits to those who swim within them.

Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel 18

SELECT · 2021

Fed by a natural thermal spring and partially surrounded by dramatic rocky cliffs, the scene here is so beautiful, you’ll want to settle in with a book and spend the day.

Another perk of the resort is its proximity to Athens; you can easily make a day trip (or two) into the city to see the wonders of its ancient center. Tour the Acropolis, stare up at the awe-inspiring Temple of Olympian Zeus and visit the National Archeological Museum before being whisked back to Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel, where a post-sun spa treatment and beach chair await.

AMANZOE - PORTO HELI Further to the west sits Porto Heli, a glamorous coastal town in the Peloponnese. Most travelers aren’t yet wise to this “Hamptons of Greece,” making an exclusive location for the ultra-luxe Amanzoe resort.

From its perch, Amanzoe offers striking 360-degree views of the olive groves that blanket the nearby hills, and brilliantly blue Aegean shimmering beyond them. Such a classically Greek setting is well-suited to the resort’s wellness program, which incorporates the teachings of Hippocrates into its 30,677 square foot spa.

Amanzoe

This “holistic sanctuary” offers bespoke wellness experiences that incorporate nutrition, exercise, olive oil massages, mindfulness and sea bathing to promote overall well-being; spa services also include the Hammam ritual, an exfoliating treatment that utilizes all-natural black soap and rock clay.

When not at the spa, you’ll want to explore a wealth of fascinating nearby ruins, including the UNESCOprotected amphitheatre at Epidaurus and the Sanctuary of Asklepios; fittingly, the latter is the ancient world’s most renowned center of healing. You can also request a special beekeeping visit to the Bairaktaris family, whose apiary supplies all of Amanzoe’s honey and produces a special range of all-natural propolis moisturizers.

ANDRONIS CONCEPT WELLNESS RESORT - SANTORINI Perhaps when you envision yourself in Greece you’re on an island, in which case Santorini’s Andronis Concept Wellness Resort is ideal. Located near the charming northwestern village of Imerovigli, this hotel offers iconic views out over the caldera, and each of its twenty-eight suites and villas have their own infinity pool for cooling off.

The Andronis Concept Wellness Resort philosophy is inspired by both eastern and western traditions, and promotes happiness and mental wellness through a combination of spa treatments, yoga sessions and detox meals from the resort’s Throubi Restaurant. Named for a local aromatic herb with therapeutic properties, Throubi creates menus that are a “celebration of Santorinian gastronomy” and take advantage of fresh island ingredients.

With a sunset view over the water, you’ll dine on dishes like fava beans with cuttlefish, capers and wild greens, or lamb with pea purée and smoked broth. Other local ingredients such as almonds, mountain tea, wild mushrooms and

EUPHORIA RETREAT - MYSTRAS Finally, if you’re yearning for a Greek destination that eats, sleeps and breathes holistic wellness, head inland to Euphoria Retreat. Located in the southeast Peloponnese, this state-of-the-art hotel and spa is located near Mystras, the mythic and now-abandoned village where the last Byzantine emperor was crowned.

Euphoria Retreat was founded by Marina Efraimoglou, a Greek cancer survivor and former investment banker who wanted to create a space that “offers achievable guidelines and deep nurturing to restore guests to full health.” She and her staff have created a multi-layered approach to wellness that centers around a four-floor Byzantine-inspired spa; its facilities include a Watsu pool, experiential showers, tepidarium, Byzantine hammam, Finnish sauna and speleotherapy salt room.

Salt room at Euphoria Retreat

With personalized options available, the retreat offers twenty different wellness programs, their themes ranging from post-pandemic revival to romance, yoga, mindfulness and more. As with Andronis Concept Wellness Resort, meals here take advantage of food produced within the region’s mineral-packed soil, and cater to the nutritional needs of each guest individually.

Imagine breakfasts like homemade granola with thyme honey and Greek yogurt, fresh soups and salads sourced from local farms, and beautiful fish and meat dishes.

GELATO FOR BREAKFAST, AND OTHER WAYS TO EAT LIKE A SICILIAN “Sicilians build things like they will live forever and eat like they will die tomorrow.” More than two thousand years later, this observation by Plato could not be more true.

One thing Plato could not have known, however, was just how dynamic and complicated this cuisine would become.

While the island may have gotten its name from the indigenous Sicanians, Sicilian cuisine comes from an alchemy born of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman and Spanish occupation, meaning it’s full of surprises and nearly impossible to put your finger on. The one thing that does unify these influences is the island’s wealth of ingredients, harvested for centuries from both land and sea. They make a trip to Sicily worth it for the food alone, not to mention the sparkling beaches, mountains, cathedrals and temples that also await. Here’s how to taste your way through the spellbinding capital of Palermo, and eat like the Sicilians encountered by Plato so many years ago.

BREAKFAST AS THE LOCALS DO: When it comes to your first Sicilian meal of the day, there are only three words you need to learn: “Granita, per favore.” This morning staple — a cousin of sorbet and Italian ice — is a semi-frozen blend of ice and sugar with flavorings like lemon, almond, coffee and mulberry; it’s typically topped with whipped cream and served with a rich bun called brioscia on the side. Another hot weather breakfast item is brioche con gelato, which fully means you can have an ice cream sandwich for breakfast and no one will bat an eye.

Pistachio granita and brioscia

GO ON A FOOD TOUR: Many culinary tours of Palermo begin at one of its historic street markets. Ballarò is the oldest and largest, and there you’ll experience the chaos of vendors’ cries as they tout their colorful stock; depending on the season you’ll see citrus, peaches, pistachios, almonds, eggplants, tomatoes, artichokes, prawns, fish and so much more. Capo, another ancient market, has more of an Arab influence, and wandering its labyrinthine corridors will make you feel as though you’ve stepped into a Moroccan souk. On the tour you’ll also be introduced to some of Sicily’s most cherished street foods, including panelle (chickpea flour fritters), arancini (stuffed and fried rice balls) and — for the truly adventurous — a spleen sandwich called pane con la milza (pani câ mèusa in the local dialect), which originated centuries before with the island’s once-large Jewish population.

Sicilian cooking class

TAKE A COOKING CLASS: Regardless of the country you’re in, there’s no better way to get in touch with local cuisine and culture than by learning how to cook from locals. Have a chef guide you through some of Sicily’s most iconic dishes like pasta con le sarde (pasta with golden raisins, pine nuts, fennel, breadcrumbs and sardines), caponata (a richly-flavored roasted eggplant salad), and cassata (sweet ricotta cake), then enjoy the riches of your labor over a long, drawn-out lunch.

VISIT A WINERY: Learn all about Marsala, Sicily’s most famous wine, on a tour to one of the sites where producers have been operating for centuries. This typically sweet wine is made using grapes that are indigenous to the island, and is later fortified with brandy; flavor profiles include walnuts, vanilla and dried fruits.

Romantic dinner at JOALI Maldives

RO M A N C E

MAGIC IN THE MALDIVES It’s impossible to know just how many weddings were postponed in 2020, but “many thousands” is close enough.

Along with canceled nuptials came plenty of canceled honeymoons, followed by months of couples waiting, wondering and re-imagining their trips. Whether you missed out on a honeymoon, big anniversary or romantic journey abroad, it’s time to re-plan and go big. It’s time for the Maldives.

There are few destinations more idyllic than this pristine archipelago, made up of 1192 coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean. It’s a place of endless superlatives — the clearest waters, the starriest skies, the whitest sand — but that’s because these statements are all true. This is one of the most beautiful countries you’ll ever see, and with only about 200 of its islands inhabited, it’s also the

Where you can dive into the jewel-like Indian Ocean directly from your bedroom patio. All of these dreams (and plenty more) await, so here are two of our favorite spots for an ultimate honeymoon in the Maldives.

THE ST. REGIS MALDIVES VOMMULI On the private, rainforest-covered island of Vommuli, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli stretches out luxuriously along the coast. The resort’s lush, eco-conscious design fits organically into the greens, blues and warm ivories of the landscape, with a total of seventy-seven accommodations resting on both land and water — all served by a team of discreet private butlers.

When you’re not lounging with a book (the resort’s library boasts over 800), you’re likely to spend morning, noon and night in your bathing suit. The Vommuli Dive and Watersports Center will set you up for everything from stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling to windsurfing, deep-sea fishing and glass-bottom kayaking. When you’re ready to go below, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli offers diving lessons and certification so you can explore Vommuli’s very own reef. Private boat charters can also be arranged — including aboard “Norma,” the resort’s fourcabin luxury yacht — allowing you to customize an island hopping journey at your own pace.

From a hidden subterranean restaurant and authentic Italian cuisine to cocktails in the architectural wonder that is The Whale Bar, you may end up planning most of the day around your next exquisite meal. After all, who wouldn’t want to wake up to a breakfast of poached eggs with orange hollandaise and shaved black truffle?

Ocean Residences, JOALI Maldives

JOALI MALDIVES Uber-chic JOALI Maldives sits slightly further north on Muravandhoo Island, and is another ideal destination for newlyweds — especially those interested in conservation. This design-focused resort was built around as many trees as possible, preserving 1000 of them in the process; it also funds the Joali Reef Restoration Program, which actively invests in reef health throughout the region.

JOALI Maldives offers a variety of elegant accommodations including beach, water and family villas, as well as over-water “Ocean Residences” that boast three bedrooms and two pools. When you’re not experiencing revival in the renowned Espa Spa, you’ll be out on the marine adventures of a lifetime.

Speed across turquoise waves on jet skis or wakeboards, get a bird’s eye view of the islands by parasailing or go (somewhat) underwater on a semi-submarine. PADI diving courses are also offered, as well as private excursions with the resort’s Marine Biologist, which give guests unparalleled opportunities to learn about the colorful and biodiverse world beneath the waves.

Zen moments at Chablé Yucatán

T H E Q U I E T M AG I C O F M É R I DA Home to advanced civilizations for thousands of years, the Yucatán Peninsula is a fascinating stretch of land reaching out into the Gulf of Mexico. It’s also home to three incredibly popular destinations — Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Tulum — making it easy to forget there’s plenty more of this region to explore. Take the Yucatán state capital of Mérida, for example; this spirited colonial city possesses a rich Mayan culture, but is often absent from travel itineraries. Here’s how to experience the best of Mérida and its surroundings, hidden gems of the Yucatán that hide in plain sight.

Mérida’s origins date back to 2600 B.C. with the Mayans, and was later influenced by Spanish conquistadors who colonized the area in the 16th century. In size, its historic city center is second only to Mexico City, and it’s widely known as La Ciudad Blanca (The White City) thanks to a predominance of white limestone used in its architecture. These bright buildings highlight the cleanliness of the city, which is also one of the country’s safest to visit. Enjoy strolling Mérida’s narrow streets with charming, sherbet-colored facades and learn about the region’s fascinating history at the Mayan World Museum of Mérida.

Day trips to the area’s ancient ruins are a must. Dating back well over a thousand years, sites near Mérida include the 150 acres of Uxmal, meaning “thrice built” in Mayan, and Dzibilchaltún, both of which are far less crowded than the impressive-but-busy Chichen Itza. For a truly tranquil experience, head to the ruins of Mayapan, which were home to the last thriving Mayan civilization before the arrival of the Spanish. Like Mérida, Mayapan has managed to fly under the radar and is a great place to escape the crowds.

Uxmal ancient ruins

The area’s indigenous influence extends far beyond archaeology, however; a significant portion of Mérida’s population is of Mayan heritage, making for a unique cuisine not found in other parts of Mexico. There are plenty of bustling local markets with a diversity of local offerings, including citrus fruits that are foundational to Yucatecan cuisine.

Salbutes — savory fried tortillas piled high with shredded turkey, avocado and other toppings — are a must-try street food, while the enchilada-adjacent papadzules are smothered in the region’s famous pumpkin seed sauce. When you’re in need of something sweet, crispy and crepe-like marquesitas can be found on just about every corner.

When you’re not seeking (yet another) marquesita, you can get some exercise with a swim in one of the region’s magical cenotes. These subterranean groundwater pools were revered as sacred wells by the Mayans, and it’s thought there are at least 6000 scattered over the peninsula. Some of the best are just a short journey from Mérida, including Dzonbacal and Chacsinicche.

In addition to Mérida’s charismatic offerings, you may also be in search of some middle-of-nowhere downtime on your trip to Mexico. A stay at Chablé Yucatán will give you the best of both worlds; although just 25 minutes from the Mérida International Airport, this hotel invites visitors to find tranquility in the heart of the Mayan jungle.

Chablé Yucatán is built around a traditional 18thcentury hacienda, and is a wellness resort that focuses on sustaining the health of the land surrounding it and creating one-of-a-kind experiences for guests. There’s yoga next to the property’s very own cenote, Mayan renewal ceremonies, and an exceptional culinary program led by the internationally-renowned chef Jorge Vallejo.

So, on your next trip to the Yucatán, remember just how large the region is. Consider verging from the more welltrodden paths towards the elegant city of Mérida, as well as the quiet ancient ruins and undiscovered cenotes that await you.

10:37 AM After your refreshing dip, there’s a half-hour drive to explore the Mayapan ruins. While less imposing in size than others, these ruins represent one of the last pre-Columbian civilizations on the Yucatán, and are practically void of tourists compared to other sites. You’ll have plenty of space to admire the temples, altars, shrines and buildings of this great Mayan capital.

12:41 PM Next you head north to the grand city of Mérida.

You’ve worked up an appetite by now, so it’s straight to La Chaya Maya for a spread of traditional Yucatecan fare with flavors of achiote, sour orange, chaya and turkey.

Be sure to get a good sleep before this day of epic adventuring! Your tour of the western Yucatán will see you wandering ancient ruins, swimming in the jungle and exploring the exquisite colonial city of Mérida.

Museo Casa Montejo

1:37 PM Post-lunch, a short walk brings you to Museo Casa Montejo, a 16thcentury masterpiece of the Renaissance style “Plateresque” — the only of its kind in Mexico. Once a mansion belonging to Francisco Montejo, a Spanish conquistador, it’s now been converted into a museum that displays its rare combination of architectural styles and decor.

Central square, Mérida

3:10 PM In need of some rest, you unwind in Mérida’s stunning Plaza del Grande.

Find shade below one of the towering laurel trees, admire the Catedral de Mérida’s imposing facade, and watch as this bustling city moves by.

If you’re in the mood for more exploring, the vast Mercado Lucas De Galvéz is just a quick stroll away, and is where thousands of locals shop daily for their food.

Ixi’im

4:53 PM By early evening you’re back in the quiet of Chablé Yucatán, relaxing poolside and lazily musing over the day’s exploits before dinner at Ixi’im.

Meaning “corn” in the Mayan language, Ixi’im’s refined menu is built from ingredients grown in the hotel’s garden, and transforms traditional Yucatecan cuisine into contemporary art. Back within the jungle’s wild embrace, it’s the perfect end to a perfect day.

THE GREAT AMERICAN ESCAPE From snow-capped mountains and tropical beaches to adobe casitas and Georgian manors, the diversity in American travel never fails to astound. Since there’s never been a better time to explore within our borders, this is your chance for an effortless escape that will still feel worlds away. Here are three of our favorite destinations for an easy city jaunt — no passports required.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

DENVER Craving fresh mountain air, eclectic urban culture and miles of trails that beg you to ski, run and bike? You’re in need of a trip to Denver, Colorado.

Dating back to the gold rush and cradled by the Rocky Mountains to its west, Denver’s saloons and cowboys have now given way to a thoroughly modern state capital, with friendly hotels like the Halcyon Cherry Creek ready to welcome visitors. Located just outside of downtown, the Halcyon Cherry Creek offers access to amazing art, shopping and adventures from its prime location.

Cherry Creek Trail 50

SELECT · 2021

When you’re not dining at Local Jones or watching Colorado sunsets from the rooftop pool, you’ll be visiting the Halcyon’s “Gear Garage” to get prepped for days of exploring. It offers sleds, snowshoes, Piaggio scooters, New Belgium Cruiser Bikes, longboards, GoPros and much more to get you moving and making memories along the 42-mile Cherry Creek Trail.

Only slightly further afield you can wander the Denver Botanic Gardens, then take in the eclectic mix of art studios, furniture makers, breweries and others that make up the River North Arts District, a mural-laden neighborhood popularly known as RiNo. For huge fans of outdoor shows, a trip to Denver means crossing the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre off your bucket list. This awe-inspiring venue was built into giant sandstone outcroppings in the 1930’s, and is the only one of its kind on earth.

MIAMI Perhaps you’re envisioning a trip with palm-fringed beaches, a stroll through one of the nation’s most photogenic neighborhoods and the chance to dance the night away. If so, Miami is waiting.

Humming with energy and alive with color, this place is nicknamed “The Magic City” for good reason. Diverse cultures mix and mingle under the bright Florida sun, making for a fascinating arts, culture and dining scene.

Settle in at the heart of the action with a stay at the trendy Kimpton EPIC Hotel. Located right downtown, each room has a private balcony for you to take in the city, as well as not just one, but two sky-high pools to cool you off.

From the Kimpton EPIC Hotel you can explore nearby Wynwood, a creative district that’s home to an array of galleries, stores, antiques, cafes and bars. There’s also Wynwood Walls, with more than 80,000 square feet of warehouse exteriors covered in street art by international artists. Just east across the water is Miami Beach, easily one of the region’s biggest draws.

Kimpton EPIC Hotel

Tour through every shade of pastel in its iconic Art Deco District, then settle in for some second-to-none people watching on a waterfront patio. After sunset, South Beach’s famous club scene comes to life, its beats echoing late into the night.

Regardless of how long they stayed out on a Friday night, you’ll find most Miami residents on beach towels the next day; after all, the city has a plethora of options for white sand and sun. Enjoy endless summer vibes all along Miami Beach, or head out to quieter options like Key Biscayne and North Beach, both of which are just a short drive from the Kimpton EPIC Hotel.

After working up an appetite in the water, the city’s exceptional dining scene awaits. Much-lauded Zuma, led by chef Rainer Becker in the Kimpton EPIC Hotel, specializes in modern Japanese izakaya, while the effervescent Cafe la Trova is the best place to experience both Cuba’s cuisine and its unique cantinero bartending culture. When you’re in need of a morning boost, the charming All Day cafe has signature offerings like rosemary limeade cold brew and “Florida Sunshine

THE RETURN TO TRAVEL It’s a new travel world out there, and you’re not alone if you feel uncertain about it. To help make your transition back to globetrotting as stress-free as possible, we’ve consulted with industry experts to get their thoughts on the future of travel.

Here’s their best advice for navigating the new and (ever-changing) process of trip planning:

Glenapp Castle

THINK AHEAD The best thing you can do right now? Look to the future and start booking! After having been cooped up for so long, people are planning farther ahead than ever before, meaning the early bird gets the worm when it comes to reservations. If you’re feeling inspired, don’t be afraid to book a year (or even two) in advance — it’s time to go ahead and make those travel dreams a reality.

Glenapp Castle This is why travel advisors are not just helpful when it comes to planning your future trips — they’re essential. In addition to booking you the best

KEEP IT SIMPLE Rather than a grand tour of Europe, now is the time to opt for simpler itineraries and singular destinations. Why? Because it means you’ll spend far less time in transit and eliminate the need to cross multiple borders, both of which make things safer for everyone. The advantages go beyond that, however; this kind of travel allows for a slower and more relaxed pace, meaning you can really dig into a destination and get to know it. Even better? Consider traveling to a place you already know and love!

GET SOME SPACE Busy, urban destinations may not be for everyone right now. If you currently find yourself drawn to

the great wide open, there are plenty of options to choose from. Internationally, consider a luxury hotel like Scotland’s Glenapp Castle, which sits on a beautiful thirty-six-acre estate in the rural Ayrshire countryside. Canada’s west coast also beckons, with the Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge ready to welcome guests for activities like horseback riding, whale watching, bear spotting and waterside yoga. Closer to home are rural getaways like Wyoming’s Brush Creek Luxury Ranch — a place to experience the true American West — or Big Sur’s Post Ranch Inn, where luxury treehouses and stargazing await.

Another way to find relief from the crowds is by opting for resorts with private villas. This is especially nice when it comes to intergenerational family travel, as it allows you to settle into a place that truly feels like home. In the Tuscan countryside, for example, the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco has an entire collection of historic Italian villas that are perfect for families, while the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla have created ideal home bases right next to the beach.
