Through exclusive resorts and villas, the elusive dream of a private island getaway is an attainable reality.
BY ROGER GRODY
An escape to the Caribbean or South Pacific is always dream-worthy, but the ultimate tropical fantasy involves being immersed in luxury and natural beauty on a private island. It is a mistake to think that only billionaires have access to such retreats, as intimate resorts and private residences await those with the spirit of romance and adventure.
From Time + Tide, a family-owned, environmentally conscious specialist in luxury safari and exotic island tourism, is Miavana, an idyllic retreat off the coast of Madagascar. Occupying the diminutive island of Nosy Ankao, Miavana provides 14 luxury beachfront villas with modern architecture that’s softened by hand-dyed textiles, Malagasy wood and local stone. These low-impact villas seamlessly coexist with the pristine natural environment. “Miavana is on par with, if not better than, any luxury private island environment in the world,” contends Bruce Simpson, CEO of Time + Tide Africa, due in large part to a destination as singularly beautiful and unique as Madagascar. Assessing Miavana’s guests, who are demographically diverse, Simpson reports, “We see them as a combination of well-traveled individuals anxious to see something new or different, and newer travelers looking for exciting, unique products or destinations.”
Confirming their adventurous spirit, Simpson reveals a large proportion of those guests elect to explore off-island attractions, immersing themselves in Madagascar’s beguiling culture, wildlife and geography. Explaining the increasing popularity of this kind of vacationing, Simpson states, “I feel that private islands are developing out of a need for more exclusive and remote environments away from larger hotels and over-commercialized offerings.” For a quintessential private island experience, this resort offers the opportunity to book all 14 villas for an ultra-extravagant holiday.
“Beyond exclusivity and privacy, the foremost aspiration of our guests lies in the art of disconnecting.”
The Florida Keys have long captured the hearts of travelers who appreciate solitude, natural beauty and a splash of eccentricity, just a leisurely excursion from bustling Miami. Occupying a four-acre islet in the Keys is an intimate hideaway named Little Palm Island Resort & Spa, whose remote location has not kept presidents or movie stars from discovering its charm.
John Allan, Little Palm Island’s general manager, states, “Beyond exclusivity and privacy, the foremost aspiration of our guests lies in the art of disconnecting.” In fact, cell phone use in public spaces is discouraged and distractions like televisions, telephones or alarm clocks are absent from suites. “In a world where technology and the news cycle permeate daily lives, retreating to a private island resort is a way for guests to completely unplug and cherish shared moments,” he explains.
“Our guests can create their own experiences without ever running into a crowd,” says the general manager, who notes that no more than 60 guests are ever present at one time. There is, however, an abundance of non-human activity, including endangered Key deer and exotic birds, in addition to extraordinary sea life. “Our guests look for an authentic, luxury experience in all aspects of their visit,” says Allan, and suggests the resort’s partnerships with local environmental organizations appeal to their philanthropic sensibilities.
Situated on the remote French Polynesian atoll of Tetiaroa is The Brando, named for Marlon Brando, who discovered Tetiaroa when scouting locations for the 1962 film “Mutiny on the Bounty.” The island still represents the epitome of escapism, an experience enhanced by five-star luxury. The actor, who commented, “Tetiaroa is beautiful beyond my capacity to describe,” built a home for himself there,
a serene refuge from chaotic Hollywood. With the resort’s commitment to environmental and cultural stewardship, Tetiaroa is as pristine as when Brando first laid eyes on the island. Conscientiously integrated with the delicate tropical environment are 35 beachfront villas and a secluded residence. The cuisine is crafted by a chef whose résumé includes Paris’ renowned Hôtel Plaza Athénée and the storied Orient Express.
“The Brando is a private island resort like no other,” insists general manager Valérie Gachon, who explains, “Guests experience luxury and authenticity in a breathtaking setting: a soul-cleaning and life-changing experience where you can connect with nature, wildlife, the Polynesian people, and their culture in an organic way.” Emphasizing the private island’s extraordinary efforts of maintaining a conscientious, carbon-neutral development — the resort is truly a global leader in sustainable hospitality — Gachon states, “The Brando allows visitors not just to observe nature but to fully immerse themselves in it.”
Discovered by travelers seeking to combine luxury with adventure, the Seychelles — an unspoiled Indian Ocean archipelago off the
coast of East Africa — offers some of the most gorgeous resorts on the planet. Four Seasons operates two properties in the Seychelles, but their intimate resort on Desroches Island is a genuine expression of exclusivity. Desroches features a white sugar-sand beach and the island is revered by divers because of its coral composition and access to deep waters filled with mesmerizing species.
A terraced, sculptural lighthouse with panoramic ocean views serves as one of the resort’s restaurants, offering the likes of lobster thermidor, Kobe beef and pistachio-crusted black cod with beurre blanc. “Being in the Seychelles with my family is beautiful, helping us appreciate the wonders of nature and those values are reflected in our restaurants and dining experiences,” reports senior executive chef Carlos Rodriguez. Service and amenities are at a level one expects from Four Seasons, but with a casual, approachable attitude. The height of pampered privacy at this resort is a sprawling villa with 100,000-plus square feet of indoor-outdoor living space.
Those looking for an island experience with maximum privacy turn to short-term rental platforms that maintain listings for private islands around the globe. “Vrbo exclusively offers private vacation rentals, ensuring guests never have to share space with hosts, and entire islands take that privacy to the next level,” explains Vrbo travel expert Melanie Fish. Hummingbird Cay in the Bahamas, featuring versatile
accommodations and a 2,500-foot white-sand beach, is one of the private islands listed by Vrbo. Another is Kanu, a tiny private island in Belize — its own coral reef is a major draw for divers — whose five villas can sleep 20. But Vrbo’s Fish notes this kind of privileged experience can be found closer to home. “Travelers may be surprised to find out that there are private islands available in destinations like Maine, Minnesota and Florida,” she says. Reporting that booking decisions in the private vacation rental marketplace often hinge on amenities, Fish explains, “Private islands tend to dial those offerings up by providing a private chef or water taxi along with the peace and seclusion.”
Currently offered by My Private Villas, a London-based firm specializing in private island rentals, are Cousine Island (with four villas and a helipad) in the Seychelles, or Calala Island off the coast of Nicaragua whose five beachfront suites are supported by a staff of 25. A hybrid between hotel accommodations and independent estate living is a splendid villa on a petite island in the Maldives, offering 24/7 butler service and privileges at Cheval Blanc Randheli, an ultrahigh-end resort. Chris Krolow, founder and CEO of Private Islands, Inc., has become a minor celebrity due to the HGTV show Island Hunters, featuring many of his company’s alluring properties. While the Caribbean, Mediterranean and South Pacific are naturally popular, Private Islands, Inc. also offers opportunities in less exotic domestic locations. Krolow’s television appearances simply reinforce the desire of travelers to make the ultimate escape — to their own private paradise.

Every year, travelers benefit from a fresh vintage of impressive opulent hotels opening their doors. Some are distinguished by bold architecture or flashy amenities while others are notable for their environmental sensitivity. What they have in common are luxurious accommodations, a pampering staff, and elevated cuisine. Presented on these pages is a sampling of recent openings throughout the U.S., as well as others scheduled to debut this year.
The Fontainebleau is the latest opportunity for indulgence on the Las Vegas Strip. Its owners overcame bankruptcy, recession, and a pandemic — the unfinished shell of the 67-story structure sat empty for years — to finally open its doors last December. Guests are now filling the megaresort’s 3,644 guestrooms, enjoying 36 food-and-beverage operations, a lavish spa, and 150,000 square feet of gaming space. “For almost 70 years, the Fontainebleau brand has challenged boundaries and expectations,” says Fontainebleau Development chairman and CEO Jeffrey Soffer, a nod to the landmark Miami Beach property of the same name. Hanging from the soaring ceiling of the centrally located Bleau Bar is a staggering chandelier composed of thousands of crystal bowties, the signature logo of the Las Vegas property. “This building represents a remarkable new chapter in our storied legacy and will be a beacon for those seeking to indulge in the unforgettable,” adds Soffer. High rollers will appreciate the Fleur de Lis collection of suites, with up to 3,500 square feet and dedicated butler service.
There’s no shortage of inviting luxury hotels joining the scene in the U.S., accommodating exceptional guest experiences.

The Oetker Collection — the elite brand’s portfolio includes legendary five-star properties Le Bristol Paris and The Lanesborough in London — is scheduled to open The Vineta Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida later this year. “This is a monumental moment in the brand’s history as we announce our first Masterpiece Hotel in the United States,” explains Timo Gruenert, CEO of Oetker Collection. He adds, “We look
forward to extending Oetker Collection’s unique hospitality ethos, based on our values of family spirit, elegance, and genuine kindness, to this wonderful town with The Vineta Hotel.”
The project revitalizes a 100-year-old landmark steps from the exclusive Worth Avenue boutiques and elevates the standard of hospitality to heights that are rare even in this iconic resort community. Internationally acclaimed designer Tino Zervudachi reimagined the interiors of the 41-room property, reduced from the existing 57 rooms to provide more spacious accommodations. Given the global signature of the Oetker Collection, guests can expect a taste of European elegance in South Florida.
Auberge Resorts Collection features distinctive properties in Napa Valley, Park City and Hawaii, and this summer the luxury firm debuts The Dunlin outside Charleston, South Carolina. The general manager Michael DeCanio, reports, “With each property in our portfolio, our mission is to provide guests an
authentic and inspiring experience that’s deeply rooted in the character and culture of a destination, while also offering an exceptional luxury resort experience.” Citing activities like sport fishing, floating safaris and clam shucking, DeCanio explains, “The Dunlin is a celebration of the Lowcountry lifestyle, with sprawling wraparound porches, coastal Southern cuisine and the unique experiences that celebrate river living.”
The Dunlin is situated on 2,000 acres of unspoiled marshland in the waterfront community of Kiawah River. Guests can explore miles of riverfront, meander through scenic nature trails and enjoy a full-service spa or swimming pool with spacious cabanas. The family-friendly concept is committed to sustainability, designed to harmoniously coexist with the fragile ecosystem. The resort’s 72 guestrooms and suites, along with 19 residential villas and a main lodge, are evocative of Lowcountry cottages from a bygone era. Despite capturing the delightful spirit of a lazy country retreat, The Dunlin is just 20 miles from Charleston, whose architecture, culture and culinary scene make it one of the most exciting cities in America.
Thriving in its freshman year is the St. Regis Chicago, occupying the 101-story, undulating glass tower designed by celebrity architect Jeanne Gang. Her Chicago-based Studio Gang has been reimagining the skyscraper in the very city where it was invented, and this structure contributes considerable glamor to the Windy City skyline. Guests are pampered at a spa offering spectacular skyline views, while the hotel’s restaurants include Miru, presenting a modern approach to Japanese cuisine, and Tre Dita from Los Angeles pasta master Evan Funke.
St. Regis Hotels & Resorts reports this is the company’s first property in the Midwest. George Fleck, vice president and global brand leader, said of the opening, “Through the St. Regis Chicago we debut a new icon within the city, sharing with our guests and local luminaries an architectural masterpiece that also represents the pinnacle of luxury hospitality today.” This year, the brand will unveil a stunning new property outside Sarasota, Florida, St. Regis Longboat Key Resort.
One of the most anticipated 2024 openings, the Waldorf Astoria New York represents both old and new. This romanticized Art Deco landmark — when it originally opened in 1931 it was the largest and tallest hotel in the world — is part of New York’s cultural fabric. In addition to hosting the engagement party of Monaco’s Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly, a JFK birthday gala and special address by Queen Elizabeth II, almost every U.S. president since Hoover has been a guest at the Waldorf Astoria. Closed for renovation since 2017, the iconic property is now scheduled to reopen late this year after a $1 billion makeover that includes new interiors by Parisian designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, an exclusive residential tower, and a world-class art collection. The renovation architects and designers have carefully considered
the significance of this landmark property, so integral to the enduring charisma of Manhattan. “The reimagining of Waldorf Astoria New York represents an intersection between the timeless glamor that has long been exuded by the property and the new era of modern luxury it’s ushering in,” reports Dino Michael, senior vice president and global head, of Hilton Luxury Brands. He adds, “We’re thrilled to soon be able to welcome guests back to Waldorf Astoria New York to experience the elevated offerings and accommodations, along with the legendary service the hotel is renowned for.”
Sprawling resorts are popular in Aspen, but Mollie addresses a demand for a more intimate experience in the exclusive alpine destination. “As a boutique property, Mollie’s public spaces encourage guests to interact with one another during their stay, forming new personal connections and leaving Aspen with more than they came,” says
Michael Brown, co-founder of HayMax, the hotel owner and operator. The 68-room property, whose name honors a historic silver mine, exudes a quiet, approachable elegance. Mollie’s contemporary Japanese and Scandinavian design elements, enhanced by warm natural materials, are surprisingly effective compliments to Aspen’s Western heritage.
The hotel has developed an ambitious art program, with works by contemporary artists Landon Metz, Ethan Cook and Matt Johnson exhibited throughout the property, and a prominent piece by textile artist Rachel Snack warming the lobby. “Mollie is designed for those with a natural curiosity and offers visitors a unique, welcoming respite in the bustling mountain town,” states Brown, a longtime Aspen resident. “Our residential-style guest rooms offer a peaceful

Anxiously awaited next year or beyond are some exceptional properties throughout the U.S., including much-anticipated Miami Beach and Beverly Hills projects by Aman, the luxury brand noted for its commitment to wellness and sustainability. The Raleigh, an Art Deco jewel in Miami Beach, will become part of aggressively expanding Rosewood Hotels, and Bulgari will be welcoming guests in both Miami Beach and Los Angeles. Edition, a collaboration between Marriott International and hotelier Ian Schrager, will arrive in Nashville and Scottsdale, while Auberge Resorts unveils The Hearst in San Francisco.

Forsaking its dusty, rugged heritage, Denver has evolved into a world-class metropolis that embraces its role as the cosmopolitan capital of the Rocky Mountains.
BY ROGER GRODY
Denver’s humble Wild West origins were eclipsed by an energy boom in the 1970s, and a more diverse economy has fueled recent growth. The high quality of life that appeals to incoming families and Fortune 500 corporations also makes the city an exceptional tourist destination. Luxury hotels, Michelin-starred dining, major league sports, and a vibrant cultural scene enhance friendly, easy-to-navigate Denver.
Denver-based travel journalist Irene Middleman Thomas — her writing credits include The Denver Post, Colorado Life, and Sunset — reports, “Visitors appreciate Denver’s large number of sunny days, and even in winter temperatures can reach into the high 60s, even 70s.” Suggesting the city has
largely shed its Western character, Thomas observes, “Overall, you’re more likely to see the latest fashion trends than cowboy hats, but there are still vestiges of that heritage.” The writer cites Rockmount Ranch Wear, a historic downtown Western apparel store, as a prime example.
A city of delightful contrasts, Denver is a dazzling 21st-century metropolis with an incredibly diverse population juxtaposed with occasional reminders of its rustic roots. The Denver Performing Arts Complex presents a full calendar of classical music and stage performances, while sports fans fill major league venues. In Denver, you can attend the opera one night, a Broncos game the next, and feast on beef bourguignon or rattlesnake. Thomas suggests a worthy addition to a Denver itinerary is neighboring
"Once predominantly a steak-and-potatoes affair, the dining scene in Denver has become more refined and eclectic…reflecting the city’s diversity."
Boulder, commenting, “It’s got a vibrant pedestrian mall, views of the Flatirons [mountains] and a fun, eclectic mix of people.” With its inviting bistros, boutiques and University of Colorado campus, the community combines an outdoor-oriented lifestyle with a sophisticated attitude.
The Brown Palace — the storied hotel’s sandstone and red granite façade hides a spectacular lobby — has been hosting presidents, royalty, and other VIPs since 1892, when Denver was a very different place. The property, however, has gracefully evolved with the city, reports general manager Jana Smith, and remains among the finest in town. The décors of luxury suites
were inspired by their famous guests, from The Beatles to Ronald Reagan. The Brown Palace is exceptionally well-positioned to meet the emerging hospitality industry trend of focusing on unione-of-a-kind que experiences, as opposed to simply providing amenities. “Unlike some other luxury properties, our distinctive architecture, sense of place, and the stories told all contribute to a unique experience at The Brown Palace,” says Smith.
Although the hotel has kept pace with Denver’s emergence as a world-class destination, Jana Smith advises, “If you’re looking for all the latest bells and whistles, you’re probably at the wrong hotel.” The Brown Palace’s celebration during the National Western Stock Show and its hosting of the Debutante Ball reflects the hotel’s pride in honoring local traditions. “Like Denver itself, The Brown Palace remembers where it came from and knows where it’s going,” says Smith.
Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton have joined The Brown Palace in the Denver luxury market, and a plethora of boutique hotels appeal to eclectic tastes. The Crawford overlooks the grand lobby of landmark Union Station, while the ART (located amidst a cluster of museums) overflows with paintings and sculptures from acclaimed artists such as Edward Ruscha and Larry Bell. The Maven draws a trendy clientele to historic Dairy Block, re-energized with fashion-forward boutiques, cozy cafés and even a Michelin-starred eatery. While the Hotel Boulderado, a 1909 landmark, remains a bastion of luxury in Boulder.
"Denver’s sense of style has evolved with the growth of the city. Cherry Creek Shopping Center is home to iconic designer boutiques Hermès, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton."
Once predominantly a steak-and-potatoes affair, the dining scene in Denver has become more refined and eclectic, showcasing artisanal local ingredients and international influences. Landmarks like the Buckhorn Exchange, where local game dominates both décor and cuisine, preserve the city’s Western heritage, but high-end sushi bars and sleek contemporary steakhouses have also arrived. Reflecting the city’s diversity, dim sum, falafel, and pho are as easy to find as burgers and burritos. Linda Hampsten Fox, innovative chef/owner of The Bindery in Denver’s trending Highland neighborhood, reports, “Not only do we have authentic Ethiopian and Vietnamese restaurants, but we have chefs playfully using traditional ingredients and reinventing those dishes into new experiences.” She adds, “I love seeing the depth and diversity that’s happening here in the Mile High City.”
Reinforcing the gravitas of Denver dining was the inaugural edition of the prestigious w, published last year. Four restaurants in
metro Denver earned coveted stars, and more than 30 others are recognized in the book revered by serious diners. Reflecting the city’s environmental consciousness, four local restaurants were awarded Michelin’s green sustainability stars. “Gastronomically, I think Denver has evolved more in the past 10 years than it did in the previous 100 years,” says Bobby Stuckey, master sommelier and partner at Frasca Hospitality Group, owners of Michelinstarred Frasca in Boulder and two restaurants in Denver.
Exceptional dining is only part of the equation in Denver after dark. For lively entertainment, the South of Colfax Nightlife District (SoCo) features everything from chic, intimate lounges to cavernous, ear-piercing nightclubs. The Church, a dance club named for its original capacity, features 150-yearold Gothic architecture with soaring stained-glass windows.
Despite its Western roots, Denver’s sense of style has evolved with the growth of the city. Local stylist and image consultant Rachel Dee, a longtime resident, reports that the level of sophistication in local fashion has rapidly

accelerated in recent years. “Denver was such a quiet place — some people even referred to it as a ‘cow town’ — but now it’s exploding and is the happening place in the West,” reports Dee, founder of Rachel Dee Style.
“Western wear has never left us here,” says the local fashion professional, who suggests it inspires some contemporary designers, but notes that European luxury brands have also discovered Denver. Cherry Creek Shopping Center is home to iconic designer boutiques Hermès, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton, and Dee recommends neighboring Cherry Creek North as a rewarding destination for fashion-conscious tourists.
Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory is sheltered by a sculptural piece of modern architecture that doubles as a greenhouse, showcasing tropical flora at Denver Botanic Gardens even when the dome of the Colorado State Capitol is dusted in snow. Designed by Victor Hornbein and Edward White, Jr., the progressive design reflects the city’s creative spirit. Mid-century master Philip Johnson left his imprint on the city’s skyline, while an intriguing hotel tower by contemporary celebrity architect Jeanne Gang is under construction. Also taking shape is a residential high-rise with a tree-filled canyon traversing the façade, from avant-garde Chinese firm MAD.
The Denver Art Museum’s 1971 North Building was designed by Gio Ponti, and a striking 2006 addition was conceived by another world-class architect, Daniel Libeskind. Travel writer Thomas suggests visitors should not limit themselves to just the marquee attractions for artistic and cultural fulfillment. “There are some undiscovered, unheralded museums, such as the Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art and the Black American West Museum & Heritage Center,” she says. The journalist also encourages a visit to Denver’s River North Art District (RiNo).
Alye Sharp, RiNo’s executive director of programs and partnerships, reports the city’s arts scene transcends the galleries of generously endowed institutions. “In Denver, there’s hardly any place you can go where you don’t feel the energy of local artists and their work,” she explains, but in mural-clad RiNo, art truly takes center stage. Restaurants, microbreweries, chic boutiques, and trendy residential developments followed the creative community into the former industrial neighborhood, but Sharp cautions, “The ethos of the district is to recognize that the artists arrived first and to keep them in the forefront.” She recommends the lively district’s First Friday events as an ideal introduction to RiNo. Whether their tastes lean toward the rustic or refined, visitors to this soaring Rocky Mountain metropolis will have no problems indulging their passions.
“In Denver, there’s hardly any place you can go where you don’t feel the energy of local artists and their work.”

With gothic cathedrals to Michelin-starred delights, Palma de Mallorca is where history meets modernity in Spain.
BY Camilla McLaughlin
LEFT: Step into another world at Hotel Cap Rocat, an ancient fortress transformed into the region's ultimate sanctuary. BELOW: Charming architecture in beguiling hues transforms every stroll into a sensory adventure.
Islands often evoke visions and memories of sea, sand, and balmy breezes. But when considering the Mediterranean, art, food, enchanting villages, rocky mountainous backdrops, and iconic architecture are must-have additions.
Among the four islands in the Balearic Archipelago — Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca, and Formentera — Ibiza gets rave reviews from sun worshipers. Yet on Mallorca, the largest of the Balearics, magnificent beaches, turquoise waters, quiet coves, and craggy cliffs are only part of the appeal. Equally prized are the vibrant art scene, eclectic architecture, historic neighborhoods, and a delectable mingling of cuisines along with easy access from major cities and the Spanish mainland.
It’s no coincidence that Palma, the largest city in Mallorca and regional capital, is often compared to Barcelona. The British press celebrates Palma as “one of the best city break destinations in the world.”
With a history that extends back to the 3rd millennium BC, Mallorca is a tapestry layered by successive cultural influences and conquerors. Today, this heritage makes Palma a fascinating destination. Also, unlike typical island haunts, the city is not limited to a single season, but instead, it boasts a year-round calendar of events.
Vestiges of the medieval era are evidenced in neighborhoods like Old Town and the Arab and Jewish Quarters, where narrow streets inhibit traffic, and ancient passageways invite exploration. Historical monuments, galleries, shops and cafes present a matchless opportunity to experience a region’s multifaceted culture and history. Like other important medieval cities, Palma once housed a Jewish Quarter, a separate walled city with its own entrances. In the Arab Quarter, the labyrinth of narrow streets is a haven of hidden treasures.
"The most iconic structure in the city is La Seu, a towering cathedral whose spires have become a hallmark over the centuries. One of Europe’s best examples of Gothic architecture."
Left: La Seu rises above the rooftops in Old Town, while the aquamarine waters sparkle in the background.
BELOW: The Spa at Hotel Cap Rocat.
The most iconic structure in the city is La Seu, a towering cathedral whose spires have become a hallmark over the centuries. One of Europe’s best examples of Gothic architecture, La Seu is built on the site of a former mosque, which was once a Roman temple. Adjacent to the cathedral lies a 13th-century palace and splendid gardens, L’Almudaina. From a hilltop location just west of Palma, Bellver Castle — a unique 14th-century round castle — one can enjoy some of the best views in the city. In the summer, Mallorca comes alive with music, including concerts, festivals, and the International Chopin Festival.
Palaces are not a rarity here. Many, such as Palacio Can Marqués in Old Town, have been refashioned as hotels. This former palace is touted as one of the capital’s most captivating and romantic historic properties. Renowned interior designer, Aline Matsika has deftly kept original features intact, balancing antique furniture with modern technology to achieve comfort and glamor. Found in the La Lonja neighborhood, it’s surrounded by the most alluring art galleries and enthralling museums in Mallorca.
Another city gem, Palama Riad, takes cues from a traditional Moroccan design and is organized around an interior garden. Elegant with a definite air of mystery, this hotel is limited to adults, offering only 11 indulgent suites.
The region continues to be a Mecca for artists. Joan Miro, a Spanish painter and sculptor, spent the last part of his life in the area. For devotees following his path, Palma is the last stop. Miro’s studio is now part of the Fundació Pilar I Joan Miró, a must-visit. There is even a hotel, Joan Miro, that displays his work in guest rooms.
From simple seaport faire, often partaken at the water’s edge, to Michelin-starred restaurants from celebrated chefs, Palma’s food scene delivers for foodies and culinary enthusiasts alike. Santa Catalina, a gastronomic haven, features an international mix. Proust’s Madeleine for pastries and coffee is not to be missed. Want a close-up of Mediterranean bounty? Head to the Santa Catalina Market, where you can
purchase traditional favorites such as sobrasada, wine and olives. A number of small gastrothèques allow one to savor the flavors and experiences.
Meters from the cathedral in La Calatrava, an electric neighborhood set in the middle of the old town wall, DINS Santi Taura, helmed by Michelin-star Santi Taura, deftly balances new and old, interpreting traditional Mallorca cuisine from a contemporary point of view.
The sea views rival the decadent cuisine at Es Fum restaurant, run by Miguel Navarro at the St. Regis Mardavall.
Minutes from Puerto Portals, one of Mallorca’s upscale marinas, the St. Regis offers a 4,700-square-meter Thalasso spa and wellness center.
No matter where you are on the island, there is no limit to beautiful places to dine, often on a lovely terrace, patio or rooftop. The best paella? Choices abound in a city born of the sea, but it’s worth taking the time to explore the traditional fishing ports of Portixol and Molinar, which are a short walk or taxi ride from the cathedral.
Throughout the city, the aquamarine waters seem to color
every scene. Visitors can dive into the crystalline waters even in the city. Palma Beach has fine white sand and is adjacent to the boardwalk. Throughout Mallorca, there are dozens of beach resorts and traditional fishing villages. One of the best ways to understand the scope of the destination is by boat. Excursions range from short tours to leasing a yacht or chartering a private vessel.
Another opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in the Mediterranean is the ultra-private Hotel Cap Rocat, a former 19th-century military fortress located on a private nature preserve. Expansive views of Palma Bay, the sandstone walls, and ancient sea stones on which the fortress was built surround the senses with the essence of the Mediterranean. The hotel is limited to just 26 suites and two double rooms. Private terraces often include an exterior canopied bed, plunge pools, or gardens to luxuriate in and relax.

Smaller cruise ships that have been decked with the finest details allow guests to experience the world in luxury while only needing to unpack once.
BY Marlene Ridgway
Cruise ships are far more than a means of transportation. Getting from one point to another is the definition of travel, but when it comes to the open seas, the journey is as adventurous as the destination. Increasing in popularity are ships that have been crafted for a smaller number of guests. These vessels were not designed to appeal to the masses, but rather to encourage more authentic travel.
Recognizable names, such as The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and Windstar Cruises, are redefining luxury cruises with fewer crowds, indisputable comforts, easy adventures, and impeccable dining options. Travelers can expect vessels that are able to navigate rivers and lakes and offer direct ocean access.
On opulent ships such as the Evrima — boasting the trusted Ritz-Carlton name — guests are offered the thrill of travel all with peace of mind and ease. Why separately book a safari or a private villa, rent a yacht, or battle large crowds and long wait times when you can comfortably customize your experience in one place against a backdrop of jaw-dropping views?
“Since its inception, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection was envisioned as turning cruising on its head,” says Jim Murren, executive chairman and CEO. “Our goal is to offer guests the perfect mix of timeless luxury and opportunities for discovery in beloved ports alongside access to unique new destinations.” This is a combination of which travelers can’t get enough. He adds, “This balance caters to both the desires of those craving the comfort of familiar locales and the excitement of novel adventures.”
Windstar Cruises recognizes a similar sentiment. “We like to say that all cruises let you see the world, but only small ships like Windstar bring you close enough so you can experience it,” says the president of the company, Christopher Prelog. “This intimacy provides you with
the luxuries of time, space, and freedom to immerse yourself in both the journey and the destination.”
By 2025, the Ritz-Carlton fleet will boast three impressive ships that have been designed to accommodate the most discerning traveler, while hosting less than 500 passengers. This will ensure a relaxed, personal experience. Evrima, the most compact ship –small but mighty – has a 298-guest capacity, while the Ilma is slated to sail in September 2024 and Luminara is set to make its debut in July 2025.
AmaWaterways, another cruise company, specializes in river trips and boasts over 25 ships in its fleet. Even with a larger fleet, smaller ships are offered, such as the Zambezi Queen — a ship specifically designed for wildlife viewing — that accommodates just 28 guests. With sustainable technology and small groups, travelers can enjoy a trip to Africa while leaving little trace behind.
The AmaDahlia is a 72-passenger ship that sails the Nile River. On board are Egyptologists, who are trained to illuminate the history and stories that have shaped modern Egypt.
Also touting smaller ships, Windstar’s unique addition of sailing yachts also sets it apart. Prelog says, “Windstar Cruises operates a fleet of six boutique all-suite and sailing yachts carrying 148 to 342 guests.” The sails against the horizon are a sight to see. “Three ships have motorized sails and are classic sailing yachts; while three are all-suite motor yachts,” which means there are various ships to meet different needs. “The experience is quite similar across the fleet, and a matter of personal preference. Some prefer the romance of sailing on our Wind Class options, while others prefer the larger suites and additional amenities offered on our Star Class yachts,” explains Perlog.
Pearl Seas Cruises is another company that is making travel to desired destinations even easier. With locales, such as the Great Lakes, Georgian Bay, and the St. Lawrence Seaway, which are difficult to navigate with larger ships, travelers are sure to experience something unique.
“Every aspect, from arrival to departure, is meticulously planned, ensuring a seamless, highly personalized voyage that consistently exceeds the expectations of our guests.”
One ship in particular stands out, the Pearl Mist, which was recently redone. “They have elevated Pearl Mist’s décor to the finest available in small ship cruising, masterfully blending the casual elegance and comfortable luxury our guests enjoy,” says Carter Robertson, president of Pearl Seas Cruises. Finely decked, the ship also offers onboard historians and naturalists, a culinary program that utilizes locally sourced ingredients, and some of the most spacious staterooms available.
Is solo travel on your itinerary this year? These more intimate ships provide an ideal setting for those traveling alone. Not only does it simplify your trip and reduce the juggling of time zones, connecting flights, and more, but it also allows guests to once again reconnect with fellow, like-minded travelers. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, for example, offers the same care and attention that’s synonymous with the brand. “Every aspect, from arrival to departure, is meticulously planned, ensuring a seamless, highly personalized voyage that consistently exceeds the expectations of
It’s clear that travelers are craving a slower, more personal form of transportation and travel and Avalon Waterways is another notable company that advertises a better way to cruise. With ads that feature the TV show “Outlander” actor, Graham McTavish, the company vows to enhance the travel experience with ships that intimately connect you with nature and spend more time in ports. In 2024, Avalon has new Bordeaux itineraries scheduled. “Along the shores of the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers, we’re elevating immersive experiences for guests, offering them deeper discoveries of the richest traditions in Southwest France,” says Pam Hoffee, president of Avalon Waterways. Long gone are the days of behemoth ships and subpar dining. Today, cruising checks every box when it comes to luxury travel. Prelog sums it up perfectly, “It’s unpacking once, but still having an in-depth exploration of a destination and the ability to have deep and meaningful interactions
