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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes, over-the-top trips look like five-star hotels and private jets. Other times, it looks more like this: taking in the stars while on a guided horseback trek across Mongolia’s wild steppes, deserts, and mountains with pelorusx. What’s more your speed?
