If a beach trip is on your mind, this one is worth a look.

St. Regis Punta Mita is on a private peninsula about 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and the recognition speaks for itself: Forbes Four-Star, AAA Five Diamond, and ranked among the top resorts in Western Mexico by Condé Nast Traveler readers.

A few of my favorites: Bahia, the main restaurant, is one of the best dining experiences on the Riviera Nayarit with seafood pulled fresh from the Pacific daily. The two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses include the famous Tail of the Whale hole, an island green only accessible at low tide. And every villa comes with a dedicated butler.

Advisor Tip: Sayulita is 20 minutes away and worth an afternoon. Bohemian surf town, great tacos, a farmers market on Sundays.

If Mexico is on your calendar, reach out and let's start planning.

What does the most ultra-private, most exclusive island resort in Southeast Asia actually look like? This.

Amanpulo sits on Pamalican Island in the Philippines, in the Sulu Sea, accessible only by chartered flight from Manila. Here's what you can expect at one of the world's most exclusive addresses:

42 private casitas spread across the island, a house reef you can snorkel directly from the beach, dive sites with some of the most remarkable visibility and coral cover in Southeast Asia, and not a single day visitor in sight. The beach is yours, the schedule is yours, and the only transportation on the island is a golf cart.

This is one of the most exclusive trips I plan. Reach out if you'd like to be next.

Tucked just beyond Positano in Praiano, Casa Angelina sits outside the most crowded stretch of the coast — which is exactly what makes it special. Perched atop cliffside curves, its 36 rooms offer a fresh, whitewashed sanctuary where every space opens to sweeping views of Positano, Capri, and the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Unhurried, intimate, and utterly unforgettable. Love, as it's meant to be.

If a summer reset is on your mind, Rhode Island might be the answer.

Weekapaug Inn is a Relais & Chateaux property in Westerly, Rhode Island, on Quonochontaug Pond, and it delivers on a very specific promise: a restorative coastal New England experience without the crowds that have overtaken most of the region's better-known destinations.

The inn is adults-forward and activities-inclusive. Kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and naturalist programming are all part of the stay. The dining program takes the local fishing community and farm connections seriously in a way that coastal New England food deserves.

Advisor Tip: Rhode Island is consistently underestimated as a destination. Newport's Gilded Age mansions, the Block Island ferry, and the food scene in Providence all merit time if you're building a few extra days around the stay.

If you’re interested in a New England trip, message me.

There's a version of the Caribbean that doesn't involve a packed resort corridor, a beach chair you had to claim by 7am, or a cocktail that's more umbrella than drink.

COMO Parrot Cay is that version. A private island in the Turks and Caicos with no day visitors, a beach that comes up in client conversations for years after the trip, and a COMO Shambhala spa program that runs on longer protocols than most Caribbean spas offer.

The privacy here is real in a way that's increasingly rare in this part of the world. The combination of natural setting and COMO's approach to wellness and hospitality has made this one of the most consistent recommendations I make anywhere in the Caribbean.

Ready for Turks and Caicos? Let's start planning.

"Life is short and the world is wide." — Simon Raven

One of the things I love most about travel is having something exciting on the horizon. Sometimes it’s a destination that has lived on your list for years. Sometimes it’s a beach or city waiting to be explored, or simply time set aside with the people who matter most.

The places themselves are memorable, but it’s often the feeling that stays with me.

What destination is inspiring you lately? Let’s talk about your next journey.

Honeymoon? Anniversary? Just need an excuse to disappear with your favorite person? I know exactly where to send you.

The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands is in the North Malé Atoll, about 45 minutes by speedboat from the airport, and what's been built here is unlike anything else in the Maldives. A marina village with independent restaurants, a curated arts program, and water villas positioned directly above some of the best reef access in the Indian Ocean.

A few things that set it apart: house reef snorkeling from the villa steps, dive sites covering some of the most biodiverse marine environments in the Indian Ocean, and enough space and privacy to feel like the island is entirely yours.

This is the trip you'll be talking about for years. Reach out to start planning.

Ready to experience Spain beyond Madrid and Barcelona? This is the property I keep circling back to.

Abadia Retuerta LeDomaine is in the Duero Valley of Castilla y León, about two hours from Madrid, and one of those regions that hasn't made it onto most Spain itineraries yet.

The estate covers nearly 1,800 acres; the vineyards produce some of the most decorated wines in the country; and the property's restaurant, Refectorio, has held a Michelin star for years.

What makes a stay here different: guests have access to the full estate. Vineyard walks, wine tastings with the winemaking team, and cellar visits that go well beyond what most hotel wine programs offer. The spa is built into the original 12th-century abbey structures, and the courtyard pool, flanked by stone walls and formal gardens, is among the best hotel pools in Spain.

Some of the best trips I plan aren't for couples or solo travelers. They're for three generations under one roof, or a family milestone that needed to be done properly.

The options are more varied than most families realize. Safari. Private villa. Small ship cruise. Ski chalet. Luxury ranch. Cultural journey with a private guide. The format matters less than the intention behind it.

The common thread in every great family trip I've planned: intentional design from the start.

If you're planning a family trip and want it to actually work, that's exactly what I do. Reach out to start the conversation.

One of the most important things I do when planning a trip: make sure the timing is right. The same destination can feel completely different depending on the month you go.

Shoulder season versus peak. The difference between crowds and calm. The wildlife migration that only happens once a year. The bloom that lasts two weeks. The weather window that makes a remote destination actually accessible.

Getting the timing right isn't just a nice-to-have. It's often the difference between a good trip and an exceptional one.

That's something I pay close attention to with every itinerary I plan. If a destination has been on your list, let's make sure you're going at exactly the right moment.
