Six rooms in six valleys, none of them about snow.

The Alps in summer are quieter, greener, and roughly half what the same room costs in January. We picked six that earn the trip.

Summer officially started yesterday. Here is where to go.

11 U.S. island resorts where you do not need a passport. Hawaii to the Florida Keys to Sea Island, Georgia.

The smart luxury math: when you skip international airfare, the per-night rate at a domestic island resort suddenly looks very competitive. No passport. No long haul. Just the island.

No trending sounds. Just ukuleles on the sand.

Windstar has been sailing French Polynesia for nearly 40 years. That kind of history means local connections most cruise lines will never have.

Two ways to go: Wind Spirit: big white sails, that nostalgic open-ocean feeling. Star Breeze: all ocean-view suites, a little more polish.

Both include specialty dining, 24-hour room service, water-access marina, gym, sauna, and exclusive Destination Discovery Events.

August 12, 2026. The first total solar eclipse in mainland Europe since 1999.

The path of totality crosses Iceland and northern Spain. 2 minutes and 18 seconds of complete darkness in the middle of the afternoon.

Luxury hotels along the path are already creating immersive experiences: lunar-themed dinners, expert astronomers, rooftop viewing events, meditative rituals.

And they are already selling out.

Book now. This is not a wait-and-see situation.

Cliffside hotels where every room faces the sea. A wellness island with a healing microclimate since the 1800s. A resort on Hvar where the spa uses herbs from the garden and the lamb slow-cooks for 24 hours.

Most travelers stop at Dubrovnik. The smart ones keep going.

Save this.
