Stunning St. Lucia

The Volcanic Island in the Sun

We know we don’t need to give you an excuse to visit the Caribbean, but how about this one: St. Lucia has officially reopened to US travelers, and if all goes well, the country will begin welcoming all international visitors from August 1st. So let’s start dreaming about this incredible island, shall we? Dive headfirst into the crystal blue water, snorkel your way through vivid coral reef sites, while admiring the volcanic, mountainous backdrop. Make the invigorating hike up the breathtaking volcanic spires of the Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Expect one of those, you have to see it to believe it, moments as you admire the staggering twin pinnacles. Zipline through the Chassin region’s lush green rainforest for the ultimate thrill. Or, if relaxing and wiggling your toes in the sand is more your speed, there is absolutely no shortage of impeccable beaches and luxury resorts to choose from. Round out the day, enjoying a fiery orange sunset at the extraordinary Jade Mountain resort restaurant. Go for the food, linger longer for the views.

Some of our favorite historic properties—including the delcoronado in San Diego—are said to be haunted by the ghosts of guests past. In the case of the Del, the spirit of Kate Morgan, who checked into the iconic resort in 1892, is believed to have never left. (Though with some of the best beachfront access anywhere in California, we can’t say we blame her for wanting to stay at the property forever.) Tell us, would you stay at a haunted hotel?

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: biking is one of the best ways to explore destinations both new and familiar. 🚴🏽‍♀️ And viceroyhotels seems to agree. The hotel group has just launched a selection of curated routes out of its hotels in Santa Monica, Chicago, Washington D.C., and the Algarve, Portugal, with cycling brand Rapha. Designed for serious bikers and leisurely riders alike, each guided route is designed to get lost in the hidden corners of each destination and connect with local communities in a way you can’t on four wheels.

You’ve heard of Michelin Stars, but what about Michelin Keys? Earlier this month, Michelin awarded its second-ever group of Keys to outstanding hotels and resorts in over 100 countries across every continent (save Antarctica). Included on the list with a top three-Key designation is South Africa’s stunning royalmalewane — which debuted the new Masiya’s Camp, pictured here, earlier this year.

Check the link in our bio for the full list of newly keyed properties…and while you’re there, sign up for our newsletter: more bucket-list worthy hotel recommendations are coming your way later this week.
