Tahiti is having a moment as the most exotic venue for the Summer Olympic surfing events. Just a 20-minute flight from Papeete, you’ll find our gold-medal partner, The Brando, on the atoll of Tetiaroa, epitomizing private island luxury and now offering VIP holiday specials.

Discovered by Marlon Brando while filming Mutiny on the Bounty in the early 1960s, Tetiaroa captivated him with its indescribable beauty and Polynesian authenticity. Brando’s intent was to honor and respect the land, the Tahitians who came before him, and the people who would come after him. He focused on sustainability, minimal environmental impact, and connecting with others, nature, and himself.

The ancient history of Tetiaroa began as a gathering place for Tahitian royalty to retreat, entertain, and partake in beauty rituals. They met around sacred Maraes, fusing their culture, customs, and religion with nature.

This pristine paradise features a three-mile-wide lagoon and exclusive motus accessible only to resort guests and visiting researchers. The area teems with sea turtles, tropical fish, and exotic birds.

Guests can bicycles the pathways, picnic on beaches, or experience Jack’s Cold Plunge, the ultimate wellness ritual. Active travelers can snorkel, dive with tropical fish, sail, paddle board, kayak above coral gardens, and try deep-sea and fly-fishing in the lagoon. A guided tour of the Tetiaroa Society’s EcoStation is also a must!

I recently stumbled upon this property and fell in love. This is my kind of exotic luxury! If you’re searching for a romantic and enchanting getaway, look no further than the Inn of the Five Graces in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico’s historic district.

The inn’s name is inspired by the five graces of Tibetan culture: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. These elements are thoughtfully incorporated into every aspect of your stay. From the intricate mosaic bathrooms to the fragrant gardens and courtyards, every detail is designed to engage the senses.

All rooms are elegantly appointed with an exquisite collection of antique furnishings, richly-colored throws, jewel-toned carpets, glorious carved beds, oversized towels, sumptuous bathrobes, featherbeds, and pillows. The ceilings are thatched with woven straw or dark hand-carved wood, crafted centuries ago in a faraway land. Many suites come with kiva fireplaces filled with piñon, where the scent and crackle create a cozy and luxurious ambiance.

The astonishing bathrooms boast cavernous rounded tubs filled feet-deep with steaming water and are crowned by vivid tile mosaics created from vintage bowls and urns, creating a truly unique experience.

After a day of exploring the town, return to the inn to unwind in the peaceful spa with a Himalayan salt stone massage. In the evening, enjoy a quiet moment by one of the many outdoor fireplaces, or take a leisurely stroll through the beautifully landscaped grounds.

I’ll be traveling to Riviera Maya in October, and I can’t wait to visit the stunning Belmond Maroma Riviera Maya. Belmond is famous for its iconic hotels, trains, river cruises, and safari lodges worldwide, and I’ve fallen in love with each one!

The Huntington’s historic Rose Garden Tea Room, originally built in 1911 and fully renovated in 2023, has been my mainstay and sanctuary when traveling to LA for work.

The new outdoor pavilions open onto the Shakespeare Garden and the Herb Garden, where you can enjoy your afternoon tea service in a tranquil setting that reconnects you to a bygone era of luxury gardens that rival those in Europe.

As I’ve posted before, we take high tea in our family pretty seriously. Needless to say, it isn’t easy to receive a high score. However, the Huntington’s high tea scored a 10+ for its savory sandwiches, atmosphere, and price/value. It’s pretty perfect in our book!

Next, we escape to classic Hollywood glamour with a stay at the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel. This iconic pink palace exudes nostalgia, where you can lounge by the pool in signature striped cabanas and a refreshing cocktail in hand.

Puglia is a breathtaking region in southern Italy, famous for its gorgeous coastline, rich history, and charming towns. While Alberobello is a popular destination due to its iconic trulli houses, it can get quite touristy. The photos are definitely enticing, so a day trip there is a great idea. However, if you’re looking to experience the true charm of Puglia, consider exploring some of the other lovely towns that really capture the region’s essence.

Just one hour north, Matera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its ancient cave dwellings and stone churches. The Sassi districts, inhabited since the Paleolithic era, offer a unique glimpse into early human settlement. More than a thousand houses, churches, and workshops are built into natural limestone caves. I loved walking Matera’s narrow streets at dusk (in the drizzle), which gave an ethereal quality to the city’s cave dwellings.

South of Alberobello is the lovely town of Polignano a Mare, perched on cliffs overlooking the Adriatic. This coastal town is famous for its stunning sea views, cliff diving, and charming historic center.

For an elegant stay in the Puglia region, Borgo Egnazia resort is the perfect destination. It offers a holistic approach to well-being through nature and local Puglian culture, creating personalized experiences for the mind and body that go beyond the pleasures of travel.

Pack your bags and get ready to fall in love with Puglia’s hidden gems and wellness retreats with our curated luxury travel itineraries to Italy!

What I love most about US National Parks is the nostalgia they evoke, transporting me back to simpler times and cherished memories. They offer a sense of serenity, allowing me to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life and reconnect with the natural world. These parks are invaluable to our well-being, providing a sanctuary where we can immerse ourselves in nature, breathe in the fresh air, and truly appreciate the beauty of our planet.

During a recent trip through Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Tetons National Parks, I was surprised to learn from our river rafting guide that the United States doesn’t have any buffalo. What? Contrary to the song lyrics from “Home on the Range,” it’s actually bison that roam the American West. Time for Buffalo Bill to update his passport!

Are you and your family considering a trip to a U.S. National Park but feeling a bit overwhelmed? Planning a visit can be quite challenging, from arranging timed entries and seasonal road closures to securing accommodations that book up years in advance. Factor in traffic, complex routes, long distances, and a plethora of activity options, and it’s no wonder many people struggle to know where to start.

We understand and can offer a one-stop solution! With decades of experience, we can help craft your journey with unique outdoor activities, breathtaking landscapes, and the ultimate in luxury lodging and glamping. Envision yourself in cozy tents nestled in nature, with plush bedding, chic decor, and private bathrooms.

From stargazing to s’mores by the campfire, immerse yourself in the beauty of the great outdoors without sacrificing an ounce of comfort with our curated itineraries to our nation’s most beautiful parks!

Not a cruise person? Neither was I until I discovered ! Let me introduce you to the serene world of luxury river cruises.

Effortlessly glide along the waterways of France in unrivaled comfort and style while celebrating with your family and friends in unparalleled bliss.

Gather your loved ones for an enchanting French voyage through charming villages and picturesque landscapes. Discover medieval treasures, indulge in culinary experiences, and unveil the soul of the region aboard these gorgeous river barges.

The seven luxurious barges of the fleet offer distinctive accommodations, each with its own sense of style and elegance. Spacious cabins are adorned with thoughtful details and every imaginable comfort. From heated pools to antiques, murals, and even a grand piano, each barge boasts its own unique features.

This is the epitome of an intimate private charter experience, accommodating 4-12 guests, depending on your chosen barge and itinerary. I suggest indulging in a private regional cooking course or exploring the exquisite champagne houses along the river.

In April 2024, Belmond launched a new luxury barge, part of its French collection, called Coquelicot, and began taking guests on a cinematic journey of Champagne in partnership with Maison Ruinart, the world’s oldest champagne house. Featuring three spacious cabins with ensuite facilities, an indoor salon with a champagne bar, and an extensive outdoor deck, Coquelicot is setting a new standard of sophistication for slow-paced sailing in France.

Share your river cruising dreams with us, and we will expertly craft an itinerary that will make your dreams a reality!

Traveling with family and friends provides a unique opportunity to connect with other families from around the world, fostering bonds that transcend borders.

Our family’s travel experiences have transformed how we celebrate the holidays, taught us to savor the leisurely moments of sitting in a café for days, and inspired us to integrate their beautiful culture and mindset into our daily lives back home. Experiencing new cultures offers new perspectives, that deepen our understanding of the world and the people in it.

I’ve caused more than one uproar at lunchtime in Italy when I’ve ordered a cappuccino after 12 PM, let alone drinking an Aperol spritz while eating a meal. Occasionally, all of these things at the same time (insert Italian eye rolls here).

This post captures a family milestone birthday celebration in Cortona Italy, standing on an ancient hilltop, popping a bottle of Prosecco in a private vineyard, surrounded by the magic of this ancient Etruscan town.

Cortona offers unparalleled vistas across the Tuscan landscape, it is enveloped by age-old olive orchards, majestic cypress trees, and embraced by the historic Etruscan Wall that encircles this cherished village, eternally ingrained in our memories.

From solo travel to multi-generational family trips, Cortona has something for everyone. Let’s start curating your family travel adventure to this incredible Tuscan village in an exclusive Italian villa!
