Part of our job is tracking every big hotel opening in Europe. Here's one worth bookmarking for your next Mallorca trip.

Mandarin Oriental Punta Negra, the brand's Mallorca debut, opened in June on its own pine-covered peninsula along the Costa d'en Blanes, and the dining alone would justify the trip. Nobu Matsuhisa and Dani García each opened a restaurant here, one serving Nikkei-style plates against the sea views, the other built around fire, smoke, and local tradition.

Away from the table, it gets even better. A spa with nine treatment cabins pairing Mallorcan traditions with the brand's famous Oriental wellness philosophy, interiors by Laura Gonzalez, one of the most sought-after designers working today, and two private coves for a swim steps from your room. Puerto Portals and Palma are both minutes away.

Mallorca in shoulder season is Europe at its easiest. Message us to start planning!

What do we recommend to clients who have already done the classic safari? A salt pan the size of a small country.

Jack's Camp is set on the edge of Botswana's Makgadikgadi Pans, and it does safari like nowhere else on the continent. The signature experiences here exist almost nowhere else: sitting at sunrise with a habituated colony of meerkats (they'll climb onto your shoulder to use you as a lookout), walking the desert with Zu/'hoasi San guides who read the land like a book, and riding quad bikes far out onto the pans to sleep under a ceiling of stars.

The camp itself is legendary, rebuilt in its original 1940s expedition style with Persian rugs, brass fittings, and a tent that doubles as a working natural history museum. In the wet months, a little-known zebra migration moves through the grasslands.

Consider this the safari that surprises even the seasoned. Let's get you out on the pans.

Trend alert. Glowcations are one of the most requested trips of the year, and the requests keep coming for 2027.

So what is one? A glowcation is a trip built around skin, rest, and wellness rituals, with the goal of coming home visibly better than when you left. Less sightseeing marathon, more treatments, thermal waters, deep sleep, and good food doing their quiet work.

The destinations doing it best right now include South Korea, for K-beauty facials and bathhouse culture. Thailand, for herbal therapies and some of the finest massage traditions anywhere. And Europe, from Swiss longevity clinics to Italian thermal springs and Greek island wellness retreats.

Advisor note: The top practitioners and signature treatments book out weeks or months ahead, so we secure them before you land. Ready to glow? Message us.

Our shortlist of the world's most iconic wildlife experiences. All bookable, all better in person.

The Great Migration in Tanzania and Kenya, timed to the Mara River crossings. Mountain gorillas in Rwanda, an hour face-to-face that clients call life-changing. Bengal tigers in India's national parks. Elephants crossing the water in Botswana's Okavango Delta. Polar bears on the tundra in Churchill, Canada. Penguin colonies by the hundred thousand in Antarctica.

Every one of these is seasonal, and the best camps, permits, and guides go a year or more out. The earlier you raise your hand, the better your odds of the sighting you came for.

Which one is on your list? Tell us in the comments or send us a message.

Croatia keeps landing on client wish lists, and honestly, this footage explains it better than we can.

More than a thousand islands along the Adriatic. Medieval walled towns like Dubrovnik and Korčula. Waterfalls stacked through the national parks, and an entire peninsula, Istria, devoted to truffles and w**e. Our favorite way to do it all is by sea, on a crewed yacht for the week, dropping anchor wherever looks best at lunchtime.

Advisor tip: June and September are the smart months, with warm swimming, open tables, and a fraction of the August crowds.

Travel + Leisure readers just voted this the best resort in Europe, and we could not agree more.

Castiglion del Bosco, a Rosewood hotel on a 5,000-acre estate in Montalcino, took the top resort spot in Europe in this year's World's Best Awards with a near-perfect score. Add two Michelin stars at Ristorante Campo del Drago, three Michelin Keys, and an estate w**ery producing its own Brunello di Montalcino, and the case pretty much makes itself.

Golfers, save this part. The estate is home to the only private golf club in Italy, a Tom Weiskopf-designed 18-hole course that hotel guests can actually play. Expect Val d'Orcia views on every hole and almost no one else on the course.

Ready to experience Europe's best resort for yourself? Reach out, and we'll handle every detail.

A question we hear from clients who have already done Tokyo and Kyoto: what does round two of Japan look like?

One of our favorite answers is Amanemu, Aman's hot spring resort on the Ise-Shima peninsula, a coastline of green coves and fishing villages a couple of hours southeast of Kyoto and Osaka. Every suite and villa has its own onsen bath fed by mineral-rich thermal springs, so you get Japan's beloved bathing ritual in complete privacy. No shared pools or second-guessing the etiquette.

It shines brightest on a return trip, slow and deeply Japanese in a way the big cities can't be. First-timers shouldn't rule it out either: tack three nights onto the end of a Tokyo and Kyoto route, and you'll fly home rested instead of running on fumes.

First visit or fifth, Japan always has more to give. Reach out, and we'll start planning.

Fun fact about planning Peru: the smartest thing you can do at 11,000 feet is pick a hotel that breathes for you.

Here's the order we recommend to clients. Land in Cusco, head straight down to the lower Sacred Valley, and save Cusco for the end of the trip once you've acclimatized. Then check into Palacio Nazarenas, where every suite is enriched with extra oxygen, and those final nights feel easy instead of breathless.

The hotel itself is a 16th-century palace-turned-convent on a peaceful plaza just above Cusco's main square. All suites, original Inca stonework running through the walls, and a heated outdoor pool that was the first of its kind in the city. Not bad for a building older than most countries.

Peru tops almost every wish list we see. Let's get yours on the calendar.

The hotel currently ranked #9 in the world isn't on a beach. It's deep in the Yucatán jungle.

Chablé Yucatán, a restored 19th-century hacienda outside Mérida, holds the #9 spot on the World's 50 Best Hotels list and was just named the Best Hotel in North America for the third year in a row.

The claim to fame is the spa, built around a natural cenote, one of the underground pools the Maya considered sacred. It was the first spa in the world designed that way.

Every casita comes with its own private pool and jungle views. Dinner is its own event too, with menus shaped by Jorge Vallejo of Mexico City's famed Quintonil and a tequila library so deep it earned a Guinness World Record.

Advisor tip: pair it with the ruins of Uxmal and a day in Mérida's colonial center. Mexico beyond the beach is one of our favorite trips to plan. Let's talk.

Want a noticeably better trip? Tell your advisor these five things up front.

Your pace: packed days or slow starts. There's no wrong answer, but there's definitely a wrong itinerary for each.

How much food matters: is dinner the main event of the day or just fuel between sights?

What went wrong on a past trip. This one is gold. One story about a hotel that missed tells us more than any wish list.

Your room priorities: the view, the bathtub, the quiet, the space. Ranked honestly.

And the one moment you're hoping for. A sunrise, a table, a reunion, a first. We build backward from that.

Honest answers in, better trip out. It really is that direct. Save this for your next planning call with us.
