Iconic Iceland

Summer in the Nordic Island Nation

As Iceland prepares to open its arms to tourists on June 15th, we’re day-dreaming about swan diving into the sparkling Blue Lagoon, road tripping around Ring Road, scuba diving the Silfra Fissure, stuffing our faces with local seafood in Reykjavik until it’s necessary to unbutton our pants, and exploring all that the Golden Circle route has to offer. We’ll be waiting with our passport ready to be stamped, ready to consume all the adventures to be had and sights to be seen, from the dramatic landscapes – geysers, volcanoes, hot springs, and lava fields – to meeting friendly locals, and getting cozy in cocktail bars. From long days and whale watching in the summer, catching the northern lights in the winter, and admiring the arrival of the puffins in the spring, each season brings plenty of good reasons to visit this Nordic island nation.

As if we needed an excuse to book a getaway to France’s wine country. This summer, three new openings in the region are calling us back for more vin. Here’s the scoop. 👇🏼

🍷 chateaulacommaraine, a reimagined 12th-century castle set in the heart of an ancient vineyard, is ushering in a new level of hospitality as Burgundy’s first true five-star resort.

🍷 chateaudeciteauxbourgogne from the fontenillecollection will offer a fresh way to explore the storied vineyards on Burgundy’s famed Côte d’Or when it opens this summer.

🍷 relaisdamboise will bring a needed dose of luxury to the charming village of Amboise in the Loire Valley when it opens in June.

Would you go on a quietcation? One of this year’s biggest travel trends has us seeking out silence—like the kind you’ll find if you’re in Bali on March 19th for Nyepi. For 24 hours, the island goes quiet in celebration of the Hindu New Year, giving residents and guests space to cleanse negative energy, reflect, and welcome in new beginnings.

Equal parts quiet and creative, check into thenewmanlondon if you’re looking for a more residential stay. The new hotel, which opened in February, channels Fitzrovia’s chill, artistic spirit but is still just steps away from buzzy Marylebone and Soho. Expect DJ sets and exceptional cocktails at the bar, an entire floor devoted to wellness, and seriously chic rooms and suites.

Love to drive? A road trip through central Norway should definitely be on your bucket list. 🇳🇴 One of the best ways to pull it off is through 62nord: The company’s Drive the Fjords signature adventure will put you behind the wheel of an electric Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo on the legendary Atlantic Ocean Road (pictured here) and the winding Trollstigen as you head from Ålesund to the Øye Valley.

European summer, incoming. Here are the four European destinations that are on our shortlist this year.

🇪🇸 Mallorca, Spain: The island will be on the path of this August’s solar eclipse, just in case you needed an excuse to finally go.

🇵🇹 Tomar, Portugal: If you’re road tripping from Lisbon to Porto this summer, add a stop in Tomar. This July, the Festa dos Tabuleiros returns, transforming the city into a garden of paper flowers in one of the country’s oldest traditions.

🇫🇷 Saint-Tropez, France: While not exactly off-the-radar, Saint-Tropez is about to get a lot more crowded thanks to White Lotus season four. Go before it drops.

🇳🇴 Norway: For a different kind of island hopping, head north to Norway this summer to explore colorful cities, pristine nature, and glittering fjords.

Great food and even better wine are at the heart of the experience at the new appellation_healdsburg, co-owned by chefcharliepalmer. But if you check in during Pigs & Pinot, an annual culinary showcase and wine competition hosted March 20-21, expect even more of the good stuff from some of the region’s best female winemakers and chefs like wolfgangpuck, emeril, chefjgv, and more. 🍷🐖

It’s not too late to book that spring getaway. Here’s where we’d head if we were you. ✈️

Naioshima, Japan: Catch cherry blossoms, take in the Murakamis, and check out the newly opened Naoshima New Museum of Art before the crowds descend on Japan’s art islands.

Panama: Skip the crowds of classic spring break beach destinations and head to Panama for toes-in-the-sand luxury.

Uluru, Australia: With the Australian summer cooling down, March through May is an ideal time to head into the outback to Uluru. Need even more incentive? The season will see new walking trips between Kata Tjuta and Uluru debut, as well as luxe new suites onboard the Ghan.

Lanai, Hawaii: Hawaii isn’t exactly under-the-radar, but the quieter island of Lanai is. Check into the fslanai in mid-March to catch an intimate, ocean-front Brandi Carlile concert just for resort guests.

Trečín, Slovakia: One of the two 2026 European capitals of culture, Trečin is off the beaten path for now, but won’t be for long. May is the end of the shoulder season, making it an ideal time to hit the charming city.
