Colored-Sand Beaches

Pink Sand? Green Sand? Black Sand, Oh My!

The impending gloom of winter is upon us, but these different shades of sand will lighten up your mood and inspire your next beach vacation or weekend getaway. The wide spectrum of sand hues, that are sure to make a splash on your Instagram feed, are caused by erosion from nearby landscapes, volcanic eruptions, and sometimes decades of crushed up sea shells. In return, we have stunning colored sand beaches to feast our eyes on. From bright white to pink, red, and green...what color do you see in your future?

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.

Itching to see the places that inspired your favorite authors or dreaming of a reading retreat? You’re not alone in your bookish travel plans. 📚✈️ The trend is booming—these are just 3 of the literary-inspired trips that are on our radar. More details on each 👇🏽

💐 The thegainsboroughbathspa is teaming up with strictlyjaneaustentours for two weekends of Regency-inspired fun this April and October to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th birthday. During both weekends, #Janeites will descend on the city that served as the backdrop for “Persuasion” for a series of talks, tours, and tea parties where costumes are very much encouraged.

🍾 Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of “The Great Gatsby” by checking into bellesrives on the Côte d’Azur, where Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald decamped shortly after Gatsby was published, in April 1925, to begin work on "Tender Is the Night." The hotel—which is every bit as glamorous today as it was a century ago—is hosting a series of literary happenings to honor the anniversary throughout the year, including a Jazz Age-inspired tasting menu.

🥾 Whether you’re feeling inspired by “The Lord of the Rings” to take a very long walk or want to dive deeper into the countryside that many of England’s most famous authors called home, a walking tour like wilderness_england’s 13-day England Coast to Coast itinerary is the literary trip of a lifetime.
