The best places for yoga are at once picturesque and contemplative, whether it be pranayama in Ladakh’s austere landscape, dhanurasana in the thick of Thailand’s jungles, or shavasana beside an Alpine lake in New Zealand. These experiences offer as much external peace as they do internal, and even long after the session and trip have
I was about nine years old when my dad first took me to the Hard Rock Cafe in New York, and I still remember being completely taken with the walls. My dad and I gushed over everything together: That's Eddie Van Halen's suit—look, Jeff Ament's bass! There's no way that's Jimi Hendrix's actual handwriting. Of
The best places to see bioluminescence around the world sit atop many travelers’ bucket lists. Whether it's through the pages of glossy magazines like ours, glittering on social media feeds, or told through the tales our jet-setting loved ones share on their return from their latest adventure, this natural phenomenon is undeniably captivating. Perhaps it's
I’ve always liked Miami best with a little room to spread out. I grew up coming here on family vacations, then came back for solo escapes, girls’ trips, and romantic weekends by the beach. Somehow, I still find myself falling for the city’s distinct combination of pastel Art Deco buildings, swaying palm trees, warm ocean
Beaches Resorts were featured on Condé Nast Traveler's Bright Ideas in Travel 2025. Read the full list of winners here. If I had to choose one word to describe the sort of family getaway I look for as the parent of two teens, it would be easy. Plenty of things in life are hard; a
Ibiza is known as the hedonistic, freewheeling Balearic island. Once a refuge for long-haired hippies, artists, and outcasts, the White Isle is now drenched in superclubs, each bigger, louder, and more theatrical than the next. There are €100 entry fees, six-figure tables, and sushi wrapped in gold leaf. But look beyond the decks and velvet
The South of France is a region of opposites: the slow-paced, pétanque-playing village life of Provence versus the buzzy beach clubs and mega yachts of Saint-Tropez and Cannes; cider houses and rugby in the Basque Country, juxtoposed by rosé and sailing in the Côte d'Azur; there’s the wild west of Camargue, with its white horses
Smack in the middle of summer, on a prime July weekend when New York City was serving up its usual cocktail of packed sidewalks, nonstop bustle, and a humidity level that felt borderline personal, I knew I needed out. Upstate New York has no shortage of escape routes—charming inns, boutique hotels, and endless Airbnb gems—and
Imagine a world where premarital sex is only legal for one night out of the whole year (and, yes, condoms are mandatory). It might seem preposterous, but it is the premise of the movie One Night Only, a hilarious rom-com that takes us up, down, and all around New York City—crucially, all in just one
Did you know there are European countries that don't use the euro? Of the 27 nations that make up the European Union (EU), 21 use the euro as their official currency, in the region known as the Eurozone. While most countries that join the EU are required to adopt the euro as part of their
On a sun-soaked July afternoon, with August just around the corner, I met four of my closest friends at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 5 for one of my favorite New York experiences to date: an evening on the water with Brooklyn Sail. We arrived at the Brooklyn Heights waterfront to a scene that felt very
I've been camping, hiking, national park adventuring, and outdoor exploring since I was four months old—and after 29 years, it feels as much a part of who I am as the face I see in the mirror. Yes, I now live in Manhattan, which is the antithesis of the lifestyle I grew up in, but
