As a travel advisor, I get asked all the time: "Where's the one place that actually lives up to the hype?" For me, the answer is Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla. This is a 5-star property sitting on 35 private acres, with nearly a mile of shoreline stretching across Meads Bay and Barnes Bay on Anguilla's northwest coast. If you're picturing the kind of beach that makes you stop mid-sentence, you're picturing this one. Getting There Is Half the Adventure Anguilla i

After years of booking properties across the world, the hotels I find myself recommending most passionately share one quality: they feel like someone's home — only with better bedding.

There are hotels that sit near the ocean. And then there is Regent Santa Monica Beach — a place where the Pacific isn't a view but a way of life, and where every detail anticipates what you need before you think to ask for it. When Regent Santa Monica Beach opened its doors in October 2024 following a breathtaking $150 million renovation, it didn't just reopen a building — it reset the standard for coastal luxury on the West Coast.

There’s a moment I always come back to when I think about Kenya.
