Summer travel may be winding down, but the shoulder season is just heating up at these five destinations. Here’s why they’re on our fall hit list:

🇬🇷 Greece: Crowds are thinning and temperatures are cooling off, but it’s still plenty warm for swimming and sun lounging.

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain: The city’s intense summer crowds have also waned, but the city’s best attractions are just as good in the Fall as they are during peak season.

🇻🇳 Vietnam: If you’re not ready to embrace chillier days, a shoulder season trip to Vietnam is for you. Temperatures are still on the higher side, but you’ll beat the crowds that start to surge during the holidays.

🇿🇦 South Africa: Two words: Spring blooms. September, October, and November are some of the most beautiful times of year to witness South Africa’s natural beauty.

🇯🇵 Tokyo: Sure, cherry blossoms are nice, but heading to Tokyo during the fall provides a whole different kind of leaf-peeping opportunity.

A trip to Napa is always a good idea. 🍷😍 And you’d be hard-pressed to find a hotel with a better view of Napa’s rolling vineyards than poetryinnnapa. Perched on a hill high above Napa Valley, the property feels secluded, but is just minutes from Yountville and some of the region’s best wineries (and their team can also get you into some of the best crush parties of the season). With just five spacious suites—each subtly themed after a famous poet—Poetry Inn is as charming as it is luxurious.

Safari, but make it chic. 🐘 These two stunning new safari outposts — Masiya’s Camp at royalmalewane in South Africa and Serengeti House at singta_ Grumeti in Tanzania — are leveling up the game. And, they’re perfect for those of us who want to get close to the outdoors, but can’t go without creature comforts (and killer decor).

What makes for the perfect long-weekend getaway destination? In our opinion, it’s three things: walkability, a great mix of culture and nature, and easy access to an airport. (And, let’s be honest, a great boutique hotel or two doesn't hurt.) These five destinations certainly fit that bill—and are the perfect places to head to if you don’t have Labor Day Weekend plans. ✈️

The Swiss Alps are always a good idea, and so is a summertime stay at thechediandermatt. ⛰️🇨🇭 Cool off by spending days in a private fly-fishing lesson, taking a James Bond–inspired spin around the Furka Pass (where the iconic driving scenes in “Goldfinger” were filmed 61 years ago), or simply soaking up views of the Alps from the property’s stunning pool.

Long time no see, waldorfastorianyc. 👋🏻 After closing its doors for a top-to-bottom restoration in 2017, the iconic New York City hotel is finally unveiling its glamorous next chapter. Every aspect of the property has been reimagined for a new era—but the design stays true to the opulent Art Deco architecture, style, and craftsmanship that made the hotel one of the most famous in the world when it opened nearly a century ago. Safe to say we’ll be booking a stay ASAP.
