Maldives. The ultimate beach getaway. Period.

📍 Hurawalhi Island Resort

Travel back in time with an itinerary designed for old world glamour.

Paris’ famed Montmartre can be maddening by midday. Be there at daybreak for exceptional light and the streets to yourself.

Tranquil and transformative, Istoria Hotel with twelve exquisite suites, lies just steps from Perivolos Beach on the quiet side of Santorini.

High above Barcelona, the Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Often overshadowed by the fame of Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia, this view reigns supreme.

Say hello to the unspoiled Greek island of Milos.

The ornate, yet bright, Petit Palais in Paris is an ideal respite on a rainy day. With complimentary entry, slip in for a dose of culture, then take tea in the covered garden.

The rose city of Petra in Jordan is magical. Combine it with a luxury camp stay in the desert of Wadi Rum for the ultimate experience.

Peer through the Aventine Keyhole for a perfectly positioned view of Vatican City. It never fails to take our breath away. Located in Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta on Aventine Hill in the heart of Rome. Find the green doors with the easily missable keyhole. (The line of people should help.)

This energetic island is never short of a party.

And the Goldie goes to…
Gruene Hall | Gruene, Texas, USA

Going strong since 1878, this iconic dance hall is the oldest in Texas. With live music nightly, you never know who might cross your path. Like the night quite literally passed mine.

Ohla Hotel Rooftop Bar - Barcelona, Spain

Unmissable views in the heart of Barri Gothic.

And the Goldie goes to…
Cinque Terre, Italy

The “five lands” cluster of hillside villages along the Italian Riviera are connected by train, boat or hiking paths. Each has its own character to discover, with Vernazza arguably the most noteworthy.

And the Goldie goes to…
Elizabeth Street Cafe | Austin, Texas

Fresh Vietnamese meets cozy French Bistro. Shady terrace perfect for the Texas heat. Don’t miss the Beef Carpaccio & Thai Basil Escargot shown here. Both of which are generously half-price during M-F happy hour.

And the Goldie goes to…
Bakus Wine Bar | Paris, France

Right at home with grandeur of Place Vendôme & Ritz Paris, which lie just around the corner, yet Bakus draws you in without a hint of pretentiousness. We love their champagne hour & inventive food, plus open late into the night.

And the Goldie goes to…
La Guinguette d’Angèle | Paris, France

So presh! Gourmet, gluten-free “lunchboxes” & other treats that rotate daily. This slice of Heaven is in the 1st. Another location is in the 9th.

And the Goldie goes to…
Flavigny sur Ozerain, France

We ❤️ this charming, yet eerily quiet village from the movie Chocolat, with Juliette Binoche, Dame Judi Dench, and Johnny Depp.

And the Goldie goes to…
Kotor, Montenegro

Inside the walls of the intimate stari grad (old town), Robin Hood himself might sit down and join you for a beer.

Don’t miss the strenuous, yet very doable, hike up to the fortress. Pay the suspect character guarding the path and go forth for stunning views over the bay.

And the Goldie goes to…
Le Petit Crème | Paris, France

Romantics gather round. Perfect for date night or girls brunch. Ready to impress without crushing your wallet.
Try a P**n Star 🍸

And the Goldie goes to…
Wynand Fockink | Amsterdam

Steps from the Royal Palace in Dam Square, this custom blend tasting room and distillery is the oldest in the city. We affectionately call it “The Sippy Place”. Earned by the ritual of bowing to sip your overfull glass before picking it up. With liqueurs under €5, we sip our way right into a cab.

And the Goldie goes to…
Tegallalang, Bali

It’s early. Before the humidity hangs in the air. Before your clothes and you become one. This morning’s coffee is everything you imagine Bali to be.

Le Bar Chaumont | Paris, France

And the Goldie goes to…
Aegean Safran Beach Bar & Restaurant | Perivolos Beach, Santorini, Greece

So affordable you can lounge for an hour or lounge for the day. Don’t miss the Santorini Salad with fresh island tomatoes and local cheese.
