Nice is especially nice in the winter. has been sharing her trip there this week in our Stories—no traffic, easy to get into everywhere (including our favorite La Colombe d’Or), and you have the museums (Matisse Chapel, , Leger, ) and there were so many more she would have visited with more time.

In our latest newsletter shared her recent stay at , a legendary Adirondack “great camp” set amidst 70 wooded acres on a lakefront 5.5-hours north of NYC. Cell and wi-fi are unreliable …but that’s the point of The Point. Privacy, tranquility, genteel rusticity, all under the most attentive care of a devoted staff that often outnumber guests.

The ethos is that this is your home for the weekend, and you are encouraged to (respectfully) own it. A long weekend here is effectively like a private house party with group dinners—one of them in full black tie—and shared activities. Try your hand at curling or skating on the frozen lake (where there is a roaring fire pit and bar on the ice, of course). No need to bring equipment: just borrow from the warming shack filled with hiking poles and boots, snowshoes, XC skis and skates.

A hotel we’re dreaming of—Alila Purnama is part luxury ship, part boutique hotel, meticulously crafted in the traditional style of a Phinisi. Its five suites and multiple lounge decks offer incredible views of the ever-changing landscape as guests sail through Raja Ampat or Komodo Island, renowned for some of the best diving and snorkeling experiences in Indonesia.

Long before Wollman Rink or even Central Park as we know it existed, New Yorkers loved to lace up their skates on small frozen ponds in winter. Olmstead and Vaux’s original Greensward plan included a skating pond, which opened to skaters years before the rest of the park was completed. Skating is still free at the Conservatory Water by East 74th street when conditions permit—you just need your own skates!

The Hotel Bellevue des Alpes, a grand hotel that dates back to 1840 is still family-run and accessible solely by train, funicular, or on foot. In the shadow of the Jungfrau, this historic hotel sits at over 2,000 m in the center of the Kleine Scheidegg ski-region. It has remained largely the same (bar the latest renovations added in 1948) since it was built. A brass revolving door shuffles guests into the entrance hall and back in time —no high-speed internet or televisions offer a quiet retreat amidst snow-covered surroundings.

Iguazú Falls, the world’s largest waterfall system (so huge that it spans two countries) draws crowds of Brazilians and Argentinians in January and February. By March, though, the crowds thin, the heat and humidity subside, and the falls maintain their majesty before the dry season. Early mornings are the perfect time to explore miles of trails with the rising sun on the Brazilian side illuminating the falls—where, if you’re lucky, you might spot the electric blue morpho butterflies flitting around in the spray.

The retrospective exhibition, “The World and Venice 1936-56,” has 150 exclusive images drawn from his diverse portfolio, spanning the Spanish Civil War and World War II to post-war Europe, with an emphasis on the enchanting city of Venice. ⁠

Yolo friend and contributor has been living in the Panagia Chozoviotissa monastery on Amorgos, sharing beautiful snippets of his monastic life with us (you can read his full story in our Summer 2023 issue).

Now in an effort to restore and maintain the 1200 year old monastery he has made his favorite shots of the grounds available on , which are 15% off for the next 7 days. All funds raised will benefit the maintenance of this heaven on earth that will hopefully last for generations to follow.

As romantic as skiing in the Alps sounds, it’s actually pretty attainable compared to some exorbitant peak-season prices in the Western U.S. Opting for Chamonix not only drops you down into enchanting snow covered hamlets with much better slopeside food, but also can be reached by one New-York-to-Geneva flight plus an hour transfer.

We caught up with recently to hear about the making of her new book, “Sauna: The Power of Deep Heat.” She drove over 10,000 miles through Sweden, Finland, Norway and Estonia to track down saunas with Finnish photographer . Navigating through windswept archipelagos, deep-scented pine forests and empty lakes, they found some of the most photogenic saunas in the region, from remote Estonian treehouses to Oslo’s ‘stove altars’ that host live DJ sets. Head to the link in bio for a peek at a few of her favorite saunas that are accessible to travelers.

The Bernina Express winds its way amidst glaciers, snow-capped peaks and crystal-clear lakes during its journey from Tirano to St Moritz. If you can, book the window seat to take in panoramic vistas of Europe’s highest (and arguably most scenic) track, as you traverse through 55 tunnels and over 196 bridges.

Scenes from Salalah, Oman, shortly after the khareef (monsoon) season. By mid-autumn, the landscapes are rejuvenated–lush valleys and the rugged green coast are bathed in rainfall, inviting a resurgence of wildlife in the rushing cascades and natural pools.

For a secluded and sun-soaked retreat, in the laid-back Brazilian fishing town of Trancoso delivers on tropical, rustic charm. The brilliantly colorful casas, dating back centuries to the village’s founding, have been thoughtfully updated using reclaimed materials and antiques in collaboration with local artisans. Just an 8-minute walk from the hotel, along a fisherman’s path and across a wooden bridge, you’ll find their beach lounge. The antique wooden boat-turned beach bar is the perfect spot to let the jet-lag melt away after a caipirinha or two.
