Wanna go for a walk? 🥾 Where the #HotGirlWalks and #SlowTravel trends meet, you get the walking trip — a vacation where you get from one destination to the next by the power of your own two feet. Here are a few routes on our radar:
Sintra to Cascais, Portugal: This itinerary from macsadventure has castles, lush forests, and dramatic coastlines — what more could you ask for?
The Cotswolds, England: Following a trail down quiet country lanes, pastoral fields, and through historic market towns, wilderness_england’s Cotswolds tour is an excellent way to slow down and experience Southern England.
East Hokkaido, Japan: By day, this trip from walkjapan will see you walking gentle trails through ancient forests, wetlands, and volcanic moonscapes. But by night? You’ll get to soak in traditional onsens and eat some of the freshest Japanese food anywhere.
Lost City, Colombia: This trek from intrepidtravel, which takes you deep into Colombia’s Sierra Madre mountains to a sacred ancient city, is for the adventurous at heart.

There’s greenwashing, and then there’s hotel_marcel_newhaven, the first (and only!) hotel in the U.S. to operate entirely without fossil fuels. With its brutalist architecture and urban setting, the New Haven newcomer breaks the mold for what it means to be an eco-conscious hotel, and checking in would be a great way to celebrate Earth Day. 🌎

Noctourism & stargazing travel is trending, and we couldn’t be more into it. 💫 We’re adding these 5 trips to our bucket list — what about you?
🌔 Luxor, Egypt: In 2027, a total solar eclipse will be visible from the Valley of the Kings (a once-in-a-century event). GeoEx’s Egypt Eclipse tour may just be the best way to take it in.
🇮🇸 Iceland: What’s better than stargazing? Catching the northern lights while you’re at it. Iceland is your best bet if you want to do both.
✨ Chaco, New Mexico: This Dark Sky Park is one of the best places in the U.S. for stargazing — book a night sky tour with chaco_culture_nhp to learn all about the millennia-old stargazing practices of the Chacoan people.
💤 Okavango Delta, Botswana: Perched above the grasslands, the two new Star Beds at atzaro.okavango are the ultimate way to sleep under the stars.
🌌 Joshua Tree, California: The center of the Milky Way is visible most nights during the summer in Joshua Tree. Book the new Space Out package at parkerpalmsprings for an ultra-luxe way to soak it all in.

Art tourism is in the middle of what can only be called a renaissance (sorry! 🤭)—and we’re looking forward to a summer spent hopping from one art festival to the next. Here are three that we’re most excited about.
🧑🏼🎨 FestivalPageant, Laguna Beach (Jul 2–Aug 29): This festival has been running for nearly a century and is best known for its nightly Pageant of the Masters performances, where models recreate classic and contemporary works of art in life-size tableaux vivants.
🏔️AspenArFair_org, Aspen (Jul 29–Aug 2): Put on by 74thArts as part of the annual Aspen Art Week, this year’s Aspen Art Fair will feature booths from 40 galleries, immersive room installations throughout the historic HotelJeromeAuberge, and artist-led hikes.
SwabArtFair, Barcelona (Oct 2–5): Known for showcasing emerging and experimental artists from around the world, Swab is the perfect way to justify a shoulder-season trip to Barcelona.
✨ Welcome to The Venetian Resort, Las Vegas! ✨
Step into a world of elegance and luxury as you check into your suite escape. From the stunning frescoed ceilings to the serene canals, every moment is designed for indulgence.

Night at the museum, anyone? 🖼️ These four hotels let you get up close and personal with work from iconic and emerging artists alike. Get the scoop 👇🏽
🎨 TheFifeArms: This charming hotel in the heart of the Scottish highlands is the brainchild of the owners of the Swiss gallery hauserwirth. Unsurprisingly, it’s home to a collection of blue-chip art (including a Picasso or two), and you can stay in a suite modeled after a painter’s studio.
🌌 21clex: 21c is known throughout the Midwest for its boundary-pushing approach to hospitality and art. Case in point? They recently debuted the “Nightwatch” suite by chrisdoylestudio, a surrealist sleep-in, site-specific installation that comes to life after the sun goes down.
✨ hotelkensington: Beat the queue for the Victoria & Albert Museum South Kensington’s new “Cartier: A Journey Through Style” exhibition by booking the V&A Experience at the always-posh Kensington Hotel.
🌴 bevhillshotel: Under the direction of new art curator Lily Ackerman of ackermanstudios, The Beverly Hills Hotel is leaning into its status as an icon with a series of three exhibitions dubbed “Spotlight LA.” The first (on display until June) showcases the works of LA-based artist VirginiaBroersma.

We could spend a lifetime’s worth of PTO exploring all of the boutique hotels in Tuscany.🍷🇮🇹 But with its 35 tranquil rooms and three pools fed by thermal waters from nearby natural hot springs, the reimagined lapostavaldorcia (this week’s #HotelofTheWeek!) in the picturesque Val d’Orcia is at the top of our must-visit list.

Don’t call it a day trip. 👀 These destination detours are an easy drive, train ride, or ferry from popular vacation destinations—but they offer a slice of life that is decidedly different from their more-visited neighbors. Here are the detours we’re adding to our itineraries—what’s on your list? 👇🏽
🇫🇷 Champagne, France: We know it is nearly impossible to tear yourself away from Paris but trust us when we say that jumping on a 45-minute train northeast for a night or two in the champagne region is a detour you won’t regret.
🇲🇽 Puerto Morelos, Mexico: Halfway between Cancún and Playa del Carmen, this fishing village—where you’ll find incredible diving, a leaning lighthouse, and charming markets, is worth spending a day or two exploring.
🇮🇹 Val d’Orcia, Italy: With its collection of ancient villages, rolling golden hills, and natural hot springs, Val d’Orcia is a slice of authentic Tuscany that will have you falling in love.
🇹🇭 Koh Yao Yai, Thailand: Set in the middle of the breathtaking Phang Nga Bay and just 30 minutes by boat from the ever-popular Phuket, Koh Yao Yai is the best way to experience southern Thailand’s quieter side.
🇨🇦 Victoria, Canada: With more restaurants per capita than anywhere else in the country, spending a night or two in Victoria is a must for any foodie. Oh, and getting there from Vancouver—whether by ferry or seaplane—is half the fun.

LUCK OF THE IRISH. 🍀 We included the reimagined adelphiportrush on our list of most anticipated openings for 2025 (which you need to subscribe to our newsletter to catch!), and boy oh boy it doesn’t disappoint.
