I’m currently writing this piece fresh from a four week unforgettable voyage from Monfalcone, Italy to Kornati, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, ending in Lefkada, Greece. Boat trips and cruise journeys can be lots of fun, but this was my first long-haul sailing journey, and I’ve never had a better time! The biggest perk about sailing is the freedom: weather permitting, you go wherever you want, whenever you want, and it’s an extremely empowering and liberating feeling that I’ve never experienced before when traveling.

Location: 60/1 Moo 6, Srisoonthorn Road Cherngtalay, Thalang, Phuket, Thailand
Year built: 2004
Architect/ designer: Ben Bensley and P49 Design
Ethos: Privacy is the ultimate luxury.
When it comes to beach resorts, decadence is second nature when it comes to design – over the top, opulent, and ornate are probably words that come to mind. Trisara Phuket, a beach resort through and through, takes a different, more subdued approach. Trisara means “third garden in heaven” in Sanskrit, and upon arrival, it feels exactly like that.

Ethos: Contemporary aesthetics in the tropics
With the holidays coming up, there’s only one thing on my mind – family. My family is all over the world at different times of the year, so the moments we have together are always memorable, precious, and fun. But because we’re always so busy during the year, I love the holidays because it means that we will be getting together to do everything and nothing at all.

Ethos: Traditional Balinese and Colonial Dutch wellness retreat for change

Location: Jimbaran, South Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali 80361, Indonesia
Year built: 1994

Ethos: Redefined modern luxury villa resort
Luxury resorts around the world follow a very similar philosophy – exclusivity, comfort, and hospitality is ingrained into most experiences, but what sets the Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay apart from everything else is the Balinese setting and effortless inclusion to the surrounding greenery.
