World attractions and luxury packages? Monterrico is a bit off the beaten path of Pacific coastal Guatemala. With beautiful black sand, volcanic beaches and far fewer faces than you’ll spot at some other beaches, it’s great for those looking for a true “escape” from reality. However, the Pacific currents and tides make for rough water and only very experienced swimmers should leave the safety of the beach to explore the waters of the ocean. If you’re into environmentalism and conservation, you can actively take part in saving a sea turtle by visiting one of the local sea sanctuaries (during the appropriate season) and help facilitate the release of baby sea turtles into the warmth and safety of the ocean.
Italy should be devoured! Piedmont with its mountains and Tuscany with its hills: fill your senses with tastes from award-winning vintners, wines that range from robust to comforting, old to young, and food that sings and melts in your mouth, all with medieval towns at your fingertips.

Mont Rochelle is a stunning 26-bedroom hotel and vineyard just under an hour’s drive from Cape Town in the town of Franschhoek in South Africa. Franschhoek is a traditional vineyard town in the Western Cape Province famously known as the French Corner of the Cape and is considered to be the food and wine capital of South Africa. Located at the foot of the gorgeous Klein Dassenberg Mountain Range, Mont Rochelle was purchased by Sir Richard Branson in 2014 and is now part of the exclusive Virgin Limited Edition collection which also includes Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. The hotel offers its (often famous) guests the ultimate in privacy and relaxation, in addition to a superb culinary experience accompanied by some outstanding wines (the hotel’s vineyard processes close to 150 tons of grapes in a season). Mont Rochelle also has two dedicated spa treatment rooms as well as a Hammam. Discover more info at Travel Forum.
The 40-room, luxury Lodge at Sea Island is on the site of a former cotton plantation, accessed via an avenue of historic antebellum oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Outside, the lodge resembles an English manor; inside, it feels like a 1920s-style golf clubhouse or hunting lodge, with personal butlers who deliver milk and cookies to guest rooms at bedtime. Golfers will be in heaven, but there are plenty of non-golf-centric activities, too. Rooms are huge and packed with amenities — some havebalconies with beautiful views of the St. Simons Sound. Listen for the nightly bagpiper who performs at sunset. Guests should note that some features — such as the beach, spa, and swimming pool — are located at the sister property, The Cloister, which is too far to walk to; however, there’s a free regular shuttle there and back.
Peninsula Paris: In a city of opulent hotels, this relative newbie set a new standard on opening in April 2015. On posh Avenue Kleber in the 16th Arrondissement, the hotel made its home in a meticulously restored 19th-century Haussmann building just steps from the Arc de Triomphe, with six restaurants and bars, a knockout rooftop with Eiffel Tower views, and best-in-class spa and subterranean swimming pool. The 200 guest rooms and 86 suites were designed with Parisian haute-couture in mind, so it’s custom furnishings, wood paneling and gold leaf accents galore paired the latest in-room digital technology. There’s no casual dining at the Peninsula, so pack your Parisian best to fit among the chic clientele whether it’s breakfast in a former ballroom at Le Lobby or Cantonese specialties at Lili.
