    Rosé Day LA 2023

    As an elegant kickoff to summer, the annual Rosé Day LA event will bring together thousands of Rosé fans during a daytime picnic with a touch of luxury on June 24th, 2023. Curated cuisine and DJs keep guests happy as they sip their blush-colored cocktails in the Calabasas sunshine. Whether you’re a Rosé aficionado, or just looking for a way to take in a stunning landscape, National Rosé Day won’t be spent better than making this event your weekend destination.




    National Rosé Day

    With National Rosé Day only recently being created in 2015, the new and flourishing “holiday” has excited Rosé fans every year on the second Saturday in June. While there are official celebrations held by its founders, a group of well-established LA hospitality veterans, Horse & Carriage Hospitality, have stepped up to bring a one-of-a-kind celebration to life in Los Angeles, now in its fourth year. More than 4000 guests will gather at King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas to toast during the exclusive event filled with A-listers, influencers and Los Angeles socialites.

    Food & Drinks

    The Rosé itself is the star of the event with past events having numerous sponsors like Perrier-Jouët’s Rosé Champagne, Domaine Bertaud Belieu’s Rosé wine and Svedka Rosé Vodka all on the menu for a variety of tastes to excite your palate. This year’s soiree will also feature selections from the fine bubbly purveyors G.H Mumm Champagne and La Fête du Rosé, not to mention appearances by the award winning Tequila Código and Dos Hombres Mezcal. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the event’s charity partner dublab, a Los Angeles-based, community-supported internet radio station and creative collective dedicated to the growth of positive music, arts, and culture.

    While the beloved pink drink will be the focus, Chef Marc Forgione of Iron Chef fame will be returning with his personal selection of favorite gourmet food truck vendors to serve up their best dishes along with collaborating with them to create his own Rosé-inspired cuisine to complement the beverage. Guests can expect only the finest from local favorites Vivace Pizza and Shucks Oyster Company, and those with a sweet tooth will adore the fresh-fruit ice creams from West LA sensation Creamy Boys.

    VIP Access

    Live DJ performances by artists like Guy Gerber will keep the energy going as guests sip on pink cocktails and take in the opulence. Accompanying him will be Zen Freeman and his impressive resume including Gucci, Vogue, and The Academy Awards, as well as Ruckus, hailed by GQ as “The most sought after DJ in the world.

    Guests will find leisure games and activities to play in the open landscape along with browsing the available art and luxury brand activations for some summer shopping. Find fabulous additions to the dress code of “summer chic” pastels and whites, and show them off at a variety of Instagram-worthy installations: the perfect backdrop for a snapshot beneath Calabasas’ sunny skies. Alongside a General Admission option, the VIP Garden upgrade allows for access to a private lounge space and complimentary meal, dedicated bars serving Rosé-inspired cocktails, private restrooms and expedited shuttle service and entry for a streamlined experience. Take your experience to the highest heights with a luxury cabana booking, a summery palace to sip and savor in unparalleled style.

    The event created by the team behind LA’s own Warwick nightclub, Horse and Carriage Hospitality, celebrates the fourth year of a Rosé Day event commemorating the fun, national holiday. Acting as a kickstart to Los Angeles’ summer day party season, you won’t want to miss out on this instant classic, summer experience.





    The Rosé Day LA event will take place Saturday, June 24th at King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas, CA from 1:00pm-8:00pm.

      The Bride Guide: Planning Your Bachelorette Party in Austin, Texas

      Planning the Perfect Bachelorette Party in Austin

      It’s no wonder Austin, Texas is a hotspot for bachelorette parties these days. This city explodes with culture and really offers a bit of everything: a great bar scene, plenty of live music, and tons of outdoor exploration. It can be overwhelming to plan a bachelorette party, especially for a large group with different interests. We’ve put together all the things we love about this city to help make planning a bachelorette party in Austin a little easier, and hopefully even make it fun.

      Where to Stay

      No area of Austin lacks character, which is to say you really can’t go wrong when choosing a neighborhood for your bachelorette weekend. You may want to consider renting a house if your party is large. From lakeside mansions to in-town bungalows, Austin has all kinds of homes and villas for rent that offer plenty of amenities for your group to spread out and enjoy the weekend. For smaller parties, we’d recommend a fun hotel walkable to bars, restaurants, and shopping. 

      South Congress Street offers hip boutiques, ample live music, and a great view of the Texas State Capitol. The South Congress Hotel is a favorite of locals and visitors alike, featuring a rooftop pool, multiple restaurants onsite, as well as a juice and coffee shop. Hotel Ella also resides nearby. An Austin icon, Hotel Ella is named for a historic Texas socialite, Ella Wooten, who lived in the mansion in the 1800s. Today, Hotel Ella is the perfect mix of old charm wraparound verandas and new comfort courtyard pools. 

      If downtown is more your scene, we love the Proper Hotel for a bachelorette party in Austin. It’s a bit of east coast chic with southwest inspiration, complete with signature dining experiences, multiple cocktail bars, a fifth-floor pool and just 24 guest suites for a boutique hotel experience. You also can’t miss the Fairmont Austin, stretching 37 stories into the sky. Located near popular Rainey Street, the Fairmont offers total luxury with classic Texas vibes for you and your party.

      What to Do

      The weather stays rather mild all year, but summer months reach temperatures in the 90’s. To beat the heat, grab a towel and head to Lake Travis. Consider chartering a party pontoon or yacht for up to 20 people (some with top decks and water slides!) and a driver to ensure your party stays safe on the water. Your group could also pack a cooler and swim all day at one of Austin’s many natural pools, like Barton Springs or Deep Eddy. There’s also the Lonestar Riverboat for daytime or sunset cruises.

      Live music is rampant in Austin. Swing by Antone’s or the legendary Continental Club to watch local performers do what they do best: entertain! Austin also offers many live music pub crawls, pedal bars and walking tours if that suits your group. We’d also recommend shopping on Music Lane for vintage stores and unique boutiques.

      Where to Eat & Drink

      You can’t celebrate all weekend without the perfect food and drink lineup. To start the day, grab coffee from Revival, a locally owned shop where everything is pink. Then, don’t miss your reservation for brunch at Irene’s! Irene’s is a classic Austin spot that offers a special package for bachelorette parties, including a reserved table, popcorn, jello shots and dessert for less than $20 a person. 

      After you’ve enjoyed Austin for the day and are ready for something refreshing, have a drink on the roof at 77 Degrees, a three-story patio bar that also offers tapas. If you’re planning on dinner for a big group, we recommend arranging a private room ahead of time. Il Brutto is a neighborhood Italian restaurant with plenty of options for small and large groups, like a private wine bar and large backyard patio. Enjoy their house limoncello and affordable private dining options. Or, if Italian doesn’t hit the spot, head over to Comedor for upscale Mexican food, served family style.

      Now that you and your party have fueled up for the night, we recommend starting the party on Rainey Street or West 6th Street. You won’t have any trouble finding lively spots for music, drinks, and dancing. You’ll probably find other bachelorette and bachelor parties, too! To find the best spot for your crew, keep in mind that Rainey Street is known for being a bit more laid back than 6th Street, but a good time can be found anywhere in Austin. Oh, and if late night dancing is your thing, consider Barbarella or The White Horse after 10PM for a true Texas dance hall experience.

On the grounds there are citrus trees and olive groves, and views of the Tramuntana Mountains and Mediterranean Sea. Deià is a unique artist community with only 600 residents, and La Residencia fits into the landscape seamlessly with stunning surroundings and a tasteful gallery of their own. Guest rooms at La Residencia feature wood beamed ceilings, colorful bedspreads, and clawfoot tubs. Enjoy fresh pastries and Iberian ham for breakfast on your terrace or by the pool at Son Fony.

          6 Best Islands in French Polynesia

          6 best islands in french polynesia

          Photo: Zocha Group – 6 Best Islands in French Polynesia

           

          The Best Islands in French Polynesia

          There are over 130 islands in French Polynesia, and each one offers something special to visitors looking for rich culture, natural beauty, and a relaxing adventure. Overwater bungalows and clear blue water probably come to mind when you think of these islands, and though that’s an accurate image, there’s much more to explore as you plan your trip. Get started today by checking out our top 6 best islands in French Polynesia.




          the best islands in french polynesia

          Photo: Zocha Group

          Maupiti

          Speaking of overwater bungalows, you won’t find them in Maupiti. This island is committed to maintaining an authentic, local vibe, making it a perfect destination for those looking for the beauty of Bora Bora without any fussy tourist traps. Accommodations in Maupiti are unique; the sole options are family-operated guest houses and pensions. Owners of these local stays offer meals and excursions to guests, or you can opt for a “self-catering” guest house in which hosts ensure you have ingredients to prepare meals yourself. Book your lodgings well in advance as Maupiti is gaining popularity, but not expanding their hospitality capacity in order to keep the island quiet. Rest assured that anywhere you stay in Maupiti will allow for easy access to beautiful, untouched beaches and wildlife.

          Tetiaroa

           

          Tetiaroa is arguably one of the most remote habitable islands on Earth. Known for being Marlon Brando’s private island, there’s only one place the public is able to stay on Tetiaroa: The Brando. The Brando aims to be the most luxurious eco-friendly resort in the world, offering a true next-level experience for visitors looking for an exclusive trip to French Polynesia. In fact, the only way to get to Tetiaroa is via The Brando’s private airplane, and once you arrive, you’ll experience service like no other. Think beachside bungalows with private pools and three-times-a-day service, food delivered to your door, bikes for every member of your party and more. The Brando is part of an atoll made of several islands. The only structure in Tetiaroa is the resort, and all other islands consist of bird sanctuaries and untouched wildlife.

          Rurutu

           

          Located among the Austral Islands of French Polynesia, Rurutu is known as a refuge for whales. July to October is the best time to visit for humpback whale sightings as they migrate to Rurutu to give birth in warmer water. We highly recommend taking a boat tour and going snorkeling for a chance to see and even swim with the whales! Rurutu also has many limestone cliffs and caves for exploration. Similar to Maupiti, lodging in Rurutu is largely local guesthouses with one hotel offering beach bungalows. The plus side to a guest house is that you’ll have a local guide to show you everything the island has to offer.

          Huahine

           

          Huahine is also known as the “Garden of Eden” because of its untouched nature. Part of the Society Islands in French Polynesia, Huahine is one of the quietest, least populated islands in this cluster. It’s only a 30-minute flight from Tahiti and Bora Bora, making it super central to more well-known French Polynesian destinations. The coolest part of Huahine is that it was a favorite site of royal families in history, and now there are tons of ancient ruins and religious sites that are free and accessible for explorers like you. There are beautiful beaches, volcanoes, and vanilla bean plantations, but don’t forget to look for the sacred blue-eyed eels who swim the rivers in Huahine.

          Fakarava

          We’ve heard it called “The End of the World” and “The Island of Dreams,” but no matter its title, Fakarava remains one of the best islands in French Polynesia because of its unique pink sand and clear waters. Part of the Tuamotu Atolls, Fakarava is one of the top diving destinations in the world as many exotic species enjoy natural refuge here. The locals in Fakarava are passionate about conserving the natural beauty, biodiversity, and resources of the region, so you’re sure to find kind people and beautiful sights at every turn.

          Tahiti

          This one may seem obvious, but Tahiti is often seen as a hub to get elsewhere in French Polynesia instead of a destination in itself. The largest island in French Polynesia, Tahiti offers one of the only city experiences in the form of its capital, Papeete. Because of the French influence, Papeete shares similarities with many cities in the south of France, with quaint seaside buildings, outdoor markets, and versatile, delicious food options. Tahiti also has more accommodation options than the smaller islands, offering similar luxury stays to an island like Bora Bora. If you (somehow) tire of the untouched beaches and remote wildlife of the lesser known islands, a few days in Tahiti (especially near Papeete) can be a refreshing change of pace.

            The best islands of French Polynesia are sure to leave any traveler in awe. From hiking around volcanoes with a local guide to spending a quiet evening on a private stretch of beach, there are tons of unique ways to experience this part of the world. Let us help you plan the perfect trip.

            While travelers rave about the Amalfi Coast and islands of French Polynesia, we tend to forget that some of the best beaches are right here in the United States! From romantic east coast sunsets to rocky west coast cliffs, there are beautiful sandy stretches all over this country. Check out our list of the most beautiful beaches in the United States, then start daydreaming about which trip we can help you book.

            Ocracoke Island – North Carolina

            North Carolina’s Outer Banks have been the backdrop of many beachside movies and T.V. shows. There’s no bridge to Ocracoke Island, so you’ll have to load your car onto the ferry and prepare to enjoy a secluded paradise. Ocracoke prides itself on laid back culture, untouched beaches (really—there are no oceanfront properties!), and quaint village feel.

            St. George Island – Florida

            This barrier island in Florida’s panhandle offers 22 miles of natural beauty and quiet island living. Watch wildlife from untouched marshes, visit the island lighthouse, and spend your days shelling and sunbathing. You won’t find any highrises here, but we recommend a pleasant beach cottage or room at one of the island’s two inns.

            Coronado Island – California

            Coronado Island is a true west coast fairytale. The legendary Hotel del Coronado stretches along the beach, offering prime lodgings for luxury beachgoers. Choose your own stretch of white sand to watch surfers and enjoy the sun and San Diego skyline views. There’s also the Coronado Dog Beach nearby!

            Go whale watching and seal spotting in Cape Cod. You could spend weeks soaking up Cape Cod’s east coast charm, and there are tons of beaches to choose from. Our favorites are Nauset Beach, Marconi Beach, and Herring Cove.

            Poipu Beach – Hawaii

            Named America’s Best Beach by the Travel Channel, Poipu Beach on Kauai is a hotspot for snorkeling, surfing, and floating on blue water. There are technically two beaches on Poipu, and one has lots of wading pools that families will enjoy.

            Cumberland Island – Georgia

            Only accessible by ferry, this barrier island is a hotspot for hunting shark teeth and beautiful shells. There are no human residents on Cumberland Island, but visitors are invited to admire wild horses from afar and explore remnants of the old Carnegie mansion. Camping is the only overnight accommodation, but we recommend daytripping from nearby (and also beautiful!) Fernandina Beach.

            Nantucket – Massachusetts

            Nantucket sets the scene of all of your beach romance novel dreams. Stroll around the picturesque village, stay at a historic B&B, and pack a picnic to watch the sunset on one of Nantucket’s fantastic beaches. We love Madaket for soft sand and a chance at seeing seals.

            Cannon Beach – Oregon

            Just 90 minutes from bustling Portland, Cannon Beach boasts mossy rocks, picturesque cliffs, and lots of wildlife—like tufted puffins who hang out on Haystack Rock! The town nearby is known for a great art scene, wonderful cocktails, and luxury lodgings.

            Kennebunkport – Maine

            Beach towns don’t get much more quaint than Kennebunkport. Visit Goose Rocks Beach to soak up the sun or take a kayak tour around Porpoise Cove. We also recommend a whale watching tour before retiring to your oceanside resort or charming bed and breakfast.

            Coopers Beach – New York

            They say it’s one of the best beaches in the Hamptons, and we have to agree. Cooper’s Beach is a city dweller’s dream escape, and a quintessential spot to visit if it’s your first time in the area. You’ll share the beach with other sunbathers, but it’s not a rowdy spot. Take a stroll in the sand and relax in the water before heading into town for fresh seafood.

              You’ll feel like you’re flying at Hotel Costa Verde’s 727 Fuselage Home. Inside a refurbished 1965 Boeing 727 airframe, you’ll find two bedrooms outfitted in hand-carved furniture from Indonesia and 360-degree views of the ocean and gardens. There’s even a terrace outside the aircraft to get even closer to the Costa Rican jungle.

              Finca Bellavista Treehouse Community

              Finca Bellavista is 600 acres of community-run land. Created by two friends with a dream that came true with the help of the people around them, this land has been salvaged as a place for travelers to enjoy what makes Costa Rica so special. Accommodations are rustic but comfortable, and community living is at the forefront of this venture. Enjoy wifi, yoga, and zipline tours and more at Finca’s basecamp community center, or simply enjoy nature from your own treehouse.

              Go off the grid at this lodge designed with your relaxation in mind. La Carolina is buried among lush tropical forests with wide patios to watch the river float by, yoga and massages offered on the premises, and miles and miles of jungle to spend the day exploring on horseback or by foot. La Carolina Lodge is easily one of the most beautiful, relaxing and unique places to stay in Costa Rica.

              Art Villas Resort

              Five egg-shaped pods have been resurrected in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle for, as Lonely Planet puts it, “brave people who like to feel as if they’re up amongst the trees.” Though they’re also near the ocean, these were designed to have a tree house vibe and make you feel immersed in the environment. There’s a shared pavilion where guests can enjoy massages, a sauna, spa, fitness room and more. 




              Topos Tree House

              You’ll feel totally at peace at Topo’s Tree House. Nestled high up in a rubber tree, this lodging in Cahuita is one-of-a-kind. Enjoy wildlife from one of three spacious decks, make a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, and watch parrots fly by from the outdoor shower. There’s no shortage of photo-worth opportunities up among the trees.




              ─ By the Water ─

              The only hotel in the world made entirely of shipping containers, the El Faro Beach Hotel in Manuel Antonio is one of the most unique places to stay in Costa Rica and beyond. Proof that a little creativity goes a long way, the rooms are modern and airy, offering sunset views that overlook the pool and ocean. El Faro has a spa onsite as well as restaurant, coffee bar, pool bar, guided tours, and 24-hour reception.

              Igloo Beach Lodge

              Sustainability and luxury go hand in hand at Igloo Beach Lodge. These dome-shaped cabins use 50% less energy to heat and cool than other typical lodgings, but the best part is that they’re situated on beautiful grounds in Manuel Antonio and just a minute’s walk from the beach. Also on the premises is a luxury beach club and Casa Planta, the resort’s restaurant and bar.

The resort describes itself as modern, minimalist and eco-friendly, inviting guests to comfortably coexist with nature. They offer complementary excursions like a dolphin tour, mangrove tour, waterfall hikes and more to get you as close as possible to the magic of Costa Rica.




              Tortuga Lodge & Gardens

                Explore the Best River Cruises Around the World

                If seeing the world on the water sounds good to you, there’s no better way to do it than by river cruise. Unlike major cruise ships that sail on the ocean, river cruises are usually smaller and geared to a more personal, destination-focused experience. There are river cruises all over the world, from the Seine to the Nile! Here are a few of our favorites.

                Nile River Cruise

                Ancient Egyptians believed the Nile River to be a gift from the gods. Today, travelers from all over flock to visit incredible sights and cities along the longest river in the world. There are a few Nile River cruises on the market, but we suggest the Oberoi Zahra or AmaDahlia. On board the Oberoi Zahra, you’ll have a classic, high-end sail along the Nile. There’s a 24-hour cigar lounge, multilingual Egyptologists onboard, and a fine dining menu that changes daily. Voted Africa’s Best River Cruise in 2021, the Oberoi Zahra takes you to temples and gardens from Aswan to Luxor.

                The AmaDahlia, from AmaWaterways, features fresh, fun interior, marble bathrooms, and a pool on the topmost sundeck. With a hair and nail salon on board and just 16 suites, this ship puts your satisfaction at the center. Spend three days in Cairo before heading out on the river to enjoy exclusive excursions like a visit to the tomb of Queen Nefertari.

                Europe River Cruise

                AmaWaterways also offers a selection of luxury European river cruises. At the top of our must-sail list is the Taste of Bordeaux tour which takes you on a tour of the wine capital of France. Cruise along Bordeaux visiting legendary chateaus and vineyards and enjoying fine French food and wine. We also love the Rhine Castles & Swiss Alps tour which sails along the Rhine River to visit France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Or, if Southeastern Europe calls, take the Gems of Southeast Europe AmaWaterways sail to Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia and Romania. 

                If you want to take a river cruise over the holidays, we recommend Uniworld River Cruises. Spend eight days cruising from Nuremberg to Vienna to visit Europe’s best holiday markets, or simply enjoy the magic of eastern Europe in the wintertime. Of course, Uniworld sails year-round, too, across Italy, Amsterdam and beyond. No matter when or where you sail, you’re guaranteed to have a top-notch experience on this floating boutique hotel.

                India River Cruise

                Sail from New Delhi to Kolkata on a luxurious Uniworld river boat. Uniworld is consistently named among the most elite river cruise lines in the world for their attention to detail from the decor in your room to your adventure itinerary. Exploring India’s Golden Triangle (Delhi, Jaipur and Agra) with Uniworld takes you down the sacred Ganges River. You’ll see the Taj Mahal, Jaipur’s Pink City, and the Mahatma Gandhi memorial, just to name a few highlights.

                Uniworld’s India cruise puts a special emphasis on health and wellness. The ship even has a resident yogi to lead yoga classes for all levels, plus group lectures and private meetings for guests to deepen their appreciation for the ancient tradition of yoga. Also included in the complimentary Wellness Program is a special menu of organic food curated for your peak nutrition. All of this paired with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and a hand-painted mural in every suite are sure to leave you feeling relaxed on the river.

                Amazon River Cruise

                The Aria Amazon is a unique river cruiser designed to leave minimal environmental impact on the river and surrounding jungle it explores. With 16 suites and a bright, sunny interior, there’s no better way to appreciate one of the most beautiful river landscapes in the world. Leaving from northern Peru and sailing throughout the country, the Aria takes guests on group excursions to help experience the magic of the Amazon.

                Traveling on a Delfin Amazon river cruise is more than just a trip down the river, it’s a luxury wellness experience. Delfin offers three different boutique vessels that each feature premium suites, incredible dining options, a bar and lounge, exercise space, and a library just to name a few. The largest vessel carries just 43 passengers, so your Amazon experience will be expertly tailored to you. Get ready to bird watch, look for pink dolphins, and watch the jungle go by in style.

                Asia River Cruise

                Explore Vietnam and Cambodia on the Magnificent Mekong Viking River Cruise.

Choose to begin your trip early in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, or extend your trip in Bangkok. Either way, Viking River Cruises is your gateway to the beauty of Asia as you sail within the sleek and chic Viking Saigon.

                Japanese tea rooms, pandas in bamboo forests, and the Taj Mahal await on your Tauck river cruise.

                  Plan a Dream Honeymoon in Turks & Caicos

                  Getting married is one of the most exciting seasons of life, but planning a wedding can also be stressful and challenging. That’s why your honeymoon should be a time to truly unwind and enjoy uninterrupted time with the person you love. Turks and Caicos is one of our favorite honeymoon destinations because of its tranquility, beauty, and wide array of options for lodgings and activities. It’s also a relatively easy tropical destination to fly into and out of. If you’re planning for a honeymoon in Turks and Caicos, here are some of our top recommendations.

                  ─ Where to Stay – Resorts ─

                  Amanyara

                  Unique and tranquil, Amanyara is easily one of the top luxury resorts in the area. It’s eco-friendly and perfect for the couple who plans to stay at the resort full-time instead of adventuring around the islands.




                  COMO Parrot Cay

                  Located on the private island of Parrot Cay, it doesn’t get much more intimate than COMO. Villas and houses have their own pools, while suites and rooms offer priceless ocean views.




                  Wymara Resort & Villas

                  This 5-star resort is set on the picturesque Grace Bay beach, but it’s also close to town for couples who want to explore. If not, take advantage of Wymara’s luxury spa and trademark dining options.




                  Grace Bay

                  The Grace Bay Resort is a true icon in Turks and Caicos. The oldest resort on the islands, Grace Bay began as an exclusive boutique hotel and has now expanded into three resorts to become the lively and luxurious fixture we know today.




                  Seven Stars

                  Seven Stars is for the couple who wants a bit of everything. It’s pure luxury and relaxation with white-glove service, amazing wellness offerings and exquisite dining options, but there are also plenty of opportunities for fun and exploration.




                  ─ Where to Stay – Villas ─

                  Sentosa

                  For the couple who never wants the wedding festivities to end, there’s no better choice than the Sentosa villa. With eight bedrooms, we’d recommend booking a smaller stay for a couple of nights as newlyweds, and then moving over to Sentosa with family and friends to keep the party going. Enjoy an in-house gym, luxury infinity pool, and 1.4 acres of your very own beachfront paradise.




                  Beach Kandi

                  This sleek, modern villa offers two bedrooms and a pool that steps right out onto the beach. Huge windows in every room make it feel like you never miss a moment in the sun. Like every villa on our list, Beach Kandi also includes a 24-hour concierge service (think: chef, housekeeper, and butler) so you’ll want for absolutely nothing.




                  Sugar Kube

                  Sugar Kube is a true tropical oasis for two. This one-bedroom villa is the right balance of cozy, modern, and luxurious. Enjoy a cocktail on the upstairs patio lounge and read a book on a daybed by the perfectly sized pool. You’ll be in your own little world.




                  Beach Shack

                  Don’t let the name fool you—this is no shack. Having undergone recent renovations, the Beach Shack’s interior is fresh and bohemian with wood-paneled ceilings and stone walls. Enjoy privacy in what feels like a private cove and relax knowing you don’t have to lift a finger.




                  Beach Cake

                  The Beach Cake is an architectural wonder. This 3-bedroom “upside down house” features the pool and main living spaces on the second floor. It’s also walking distance to some fun dinner spots for the couple who loves to explore. During the day or to stargaze at night, enjoy a sun deck on the very top floor, an amazing outdoor bath and shower, and a view of the ocean no matter where you choose to lounge.




                  ─ Bars & Restaurants ─

                  Coco Bistro

                  Located within walking distance from many resorts in the Grace Bay area, Coco Bistro strikes the perfect balance between local fare and luxury cuisine. Enjoy tuna tartare, West Indian shrimp curry, and a full list of wine from around the world.

                  Photo: Zocha Group

                  Coyaba

                  Coyaba makes sure that any given night on your honeymoon is a special event. Offering fine dining in Turks and Caicos for over twenty years, this spot is a fixture for seasonal menus and ever changing nightly specials.




                  Ifiniti at Grace Bay Club

                  As the premier oceanfront restaurant and raw bar in Providenciales, you can’t get fresher or finer fare than Infiniti at Grace Bay Club. The ambience is romantic and tropical, and we recommend stopping at Infiniti bar (the longest bar in the Caribbean!) for a drink before dinner.




                  Sui Ren at Shore Club

                  There’s nothing like sushi by the ocean. Using the freshest ingredients possible, Sui Ren takes a unique approach to sushi, bringing Peruvian and Japanese influence to the table. Located inside the Shore Club, your meal at Sui Ren will have a beautiful backdrop.




                  Provence

                  If you’re in the mood for something different, Provence is your spot. With a mix of French and Italian inspiration, this is a fine dining experience you can enjoy at the chef’s table, in the dining room, or outside on the patio.




                  Bay Bistro

                  Located inside the beautiful Sibonné Beach Hotel, Bay Bistro is a nice yet low-key spot to enjoy a meal by the water. Stop in for brunch, lunch, dinner or a drink!




                  Mudjin

                  Located on Middle Caicos, Mudjin Harbor is known for being one of the most beautiful beaches in Turks and Caicos. Naturally, Mudjin Bar & Grill offers the best view of the blue water and white sand. It’s a little off the beaten path, but worth it for a cocktail in paradise.




                  Da Conch Shack

                  If you’re visiting Turks and Caicos, this laid back restaurant is a must-visit spot for conch prepared in all kinds of ways. Plus, the rum bar gets busy later at night if you’re in the mood to dance!




                  ─ Activities ─

                  Yacht Charter

                  The best way to see Turks and Caicos is by yacht. Many islands make up this stunning destination, and you deserve to see as many of them as possible! We recommend chartering a private or small-group yacht outing for beach hopping from island to island. Some yacht charters also offer off-shore fishing, snorkeling and diving, and even meals and wine on the water.

                  Horseback Riding

                  Long Bay Beach is the best place for horseback riding if you’re looking for a less-developed stretch of beach. Take it slow and allow yourself to be led to the islands’ most beautiful sights from the back of a horse—no previous riding experience necessary!

                  Enjoy Nature

                  Visit Salt Cay for a good chance at seeing whales, and even hearing their songs! You’ll also spot wild donkeys on Salt Cay. Taking a trip to North Caicos is a good way to see dolphins, and we also highly recommend snorkeling off any island.

                  Golf, Tennis & Watersports

                  Turks and Caicos is the right destination for the couple who loves to stay active. There are beautiful golf courses open to guests, including the award-winning Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club on Grace Bay. There are also tennis courts with lessons available so you can learn something new together. We also recommend kitesurfing, waterskiing, and even simply swimming in crystal clear waters.

                  Hands-on Exploration

                  Take a pair of jet skis for a spin, go kayaking on calm waters, or see Turks and Caicos from a parasail! You could also consider renting a Jeep or 4×4 to see areas of the islands that are closed off to most. No matter your mode of transportation, there’s so much to see in Turks and Caicos!

                    Our Guide to the Ultimate Thailand Travel Experience

                    Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple or with a group, Thailand is every adventurer’s dream. The people are friendly, the islands rival even those in French Polynesia, and there are centuries of historical landmarks and ornate temples to explore. With so much diverse appeal, it can be hard to map out the perfect Thailand itinerary. Here are some of our favorite destinations for Thailand travel, organized by what’s most important to you! 

                    Travel tip: Thailand’s dry season (and therefore peak time for tourism) is November to April. However, travel is more affordable during the wet season, and is typically still pleasant as rain tends to fall off and on through the day.

                    ─ Culture & History ─

                    Ubon Ratchathani

                    Often referred to as simply “Ubon,” this city is known for its many beautiful temples. In July, Ubon holds the popular Candle Festival, marking the beginning of the rainy season and beginning of Buddhist Lent, in which monks retreat to temples for three months of meditation. During this ceremony and celebration, incredible handmade candles are paraded through town along with two days of food, dance, theater and more local fun.

                    Sukhothai

                    Sukhothai was the country’s very first capital back when Thailand was known as Siam. Many regard this city as a time capsule for the golden ages of Thai civilization. History buffs will enjoy archaeological sites and museums from the 13th and 14th centuries. A true marker of Thai origins, Sukhothai means “the dawn of happiness.”

                    Kanchanaburi

                    Kanchanaburi is a popular day trip from Bangkok as it’s only a two-hour drive from the city, or a great stopover on your way to destinations in northern Thailand. A popular resort town, here you’ll find lots of lovely hiking, waterfalls, and riverside restaurants. Kanchanaburi is also rich with World War II history, serving as the site of the historic Bridge Over the River Kwai as well as many war museums and cemeteries.

                    Ayutthaya

                    In the 1700’s, Ayutthaya was considered the largest city in the world having served as the capital of Thailand (then known as Siam) from about 1350 to 1767. Located near Bangkok, Ayutthaya is rich with historical ruins now, making it a perfect place to get a feel for Thai culture of the past and present. Don’t forget to visit the floating market while you’re in town.

                    Travel tip: Pack modest clothing that covers your elbows and knees if you want to go inside temples.

                    ─ Cities & Nightlife ─

                    Bangkok

                    The beating heart of Thailand, you’ll find soaring skyscrapers and diverse people always on the move in bustling Bangkok. Sleep in a state-of-the-art luxury lodging, enjoy incredible Thai (and global) cuisine, shop at many local markets, and stay out all night on Khao San Road.

                    Pattaya

                    Though efforts have been made in recent years to clean up the beach and offer family-friendly resorts, Pattaya is known around the world for its wild nightlife scene. Think 24-hour clubs, cabaret shows, and some of the best bars in Thailand. If partying all night isn’t your thing, there are some rooftop cocktail bars and quieter nightlife neighborhoods in the city, too. A two-hour drive from Bangkok, Pattaya is a weekend destination for tourists and locals alike.

                    Phuket

                    As the largest and most prosperous province, Phuket is a popular Thailand travel destination for super fun nightlife, great resorts, lots of history and beautiful sites. If you need a break from city life, we recommend taking a day trip to Surin Islands, the group of islands that make up Mu Ko Surin National Park where you can rent a boat, snorkel, or visit the local village inhabited by the Moken peoples, known as the people of the sea.

                    Chiang Mai

                    Chiang Mai is a laid back city that was made for wanderers. After a few days of exploring Thailand with a packed itinerary, come to Chiang Mai to relax with Thai massages, local street food, and over 300 beautiful temples. Chiang Mai also has tiger and elephant sanctuaries for you to enjoy the wildlife of Thailand in a respectful way.

                    Travel tip: It’s okay to be a tourist! Guided tours are a great way to learn about local food, art, history, and culture.

                    ─ Beaches & Nature ─

                    Surat Thani

                    Surat Thani, often called Surat, is the gateway to some of Thailand’s most popular islands. Surat has fantastic night markets and restaurants for you to visit before you head over to a neighboring island. Enjoy a luxury spa treatment on Koh Samui, attend the legendary monthly Full Moon Party on Koh Pha-Nngan, and snorkel over stunning coral reefs in Koh Tao.

                    Hua Hin

                    Thailand’s first beach resort was resurrected in Hua Hin after royals began visiting in 1920. Hua Hin is careful not to overdevelop and remains a calm respite from the hustle and bustle from nearby Bangkok. Come to Hua Hin to enjoy your own stretch of beach, beautiful golf courses, and great seafood restaurants.

                    Ko Kradan

                    Ko Kradan has no roads, no cars, and no villages. Here, you’ll only find blissful beach resorts and the Hat Chao Mai National Park that helps to limit development. Day-trippers visit the island during the day, but if you choose to stay overnight you’ll be spoiled by having one of the most beautiful beaches in the world all to yourself.

                    Ko Phayam

                    Ko Phayam is equally as relatively underdeveloped as Ko Kradan with just 500 residents, though there are a few more dining options. This island offers activities like surfing, yoga, biking, and hiking. Only a 45-minute boat ride from Bangkok, Ko Phayam is well worth the day trip to explore yet another fantastic Thailand travel paradise.

                    Travel tip: There are all kinds of ways to get from island to island in Thailand—let us help you book reputable travel.
