The Port of Gustavia in St. Barth’s
Is it really time to plan your summer vacation already? Absolutely! It’s never too early to start planning your next summer vacation. We all know how quickly time flies, and before you know it, summer will be here.
More and more luxury travelers are planning their summer vacation much earlier than they did in the past, and many destinations are seeing very high occupancy rates in months that used to be considered low or shoulder season. So, with that in mind, it really is time to start planning your next luxury summer vacation.
Why Plan Your Summer Vacation Early?
Planning your summer vacation early ensures that you get the best choices in terms of accommodations, activities, and experiences. High-end resorts and hotels fill up quickly especially in popular destinations. By booking now, you can secure that oceanfront suite or that villa with a private pool that you’ve been dreaming about. Plus, many of the best guides and experiences get booked months in advance, so time is really of the essence.
Santorini, Greece a must visit when headed to Europe
Summer Vacation: Mediterranean Magic
For a summer vacation with style, nothing can match a visit to the Mediterranean. A region long favored by the world’s taste-makers, it has everything you’re looking for in a luxury travel getaway: stunning scenery, elegant properties, mouthwatering cuisine, and an unrivaled social scene. While the last of these may be a touch reduced this upcoming summer, the Mediterranean remains an exceptional place to escape to – and many of its top destinations are busy preparing for just that.
Greece and her islands are a particular favorite for many. Mykonos parties are legendary, and the views from whitewashed Santorini suites are nothing short of magical. These two islands carry the tourism torch, but they’re just the tip of the iceberg; Corfu combines a unique set of cultural influences into a style preferred by the ultra-wealthy, while Crete offers historical and natural treasures alike.
Boats of Cavtat, Cavtat, Croatia
Working north along the Adriatic offers a peek at some of the region’s best coastlines. Croatia and Montenegro have rapidly risen in stature as destinations of renown, the new “must-dos” for the summer vacation set. There may be no better place to rent a yacht and sail along the shores. With wonderfully preserved architecture, dazzling blue waters, and hundreds of islands to explore, this hot spot shows no signs of slowing down in the summers to come.

Whether you fill your days with activities or while them away on the beach, a perfect summer vacation is yours for the taking. Most importantly: Turkey is already open for visitors, without any need to quarantine!

Summer Vacation: Captivating Caribbean
While many travelers might not equate a summer vacation with the Caribbean, it’s a region that actually has quite a lot working in its favor. As a tropical destination, temperatures don’t change all that much. It’s warm and inviting all year-round – and best of all, much of it is already open for travel!
Amanyara Resort, Turks and Caicos
The Turks and Caicos Islands are celebrated as one of the Caribbean’s finest locales for the sheer quality of their natural gifts. Most luxury travel properties are located on or nearby the island of Providenciales, with direct flights to major American cities such as New York and Miami. If you’re looking for romance and seclusion, there are few destinations in the world that rival the powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters found here. A few days in a beachfront villa will cure whatever ails you!
A day of Punta Cana golf is just one of the endless pursuits available in the DR
The Dominican Republic is situated just to the south, and offers a wide range of luxury travel possibilities for travelers of all descriptions. As one of the Caribbean’s larger islands, there’s plenty to do on land and off it. Families can entertain everyone from the grandparents on down at one of Punta Cana’s sprawling resorts, while couples will enjoy some of the more private hideaways scattered along the coast. Golf and horseback riding one day, sailing and scuba diving the next, always accompanied by the tropical sunshine – there’s plenty of opportunities for all.
The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai
It’s not typically thought of as the Caribbean, but Mexico’s Riviera Maya region has long been a global hot spot for beach vacations. Mexico was one of the few countries to largely remain open through the pandemic, and their properties have developed finely-tuned procedures to keep guests safe while maximizing enjoyment. Everyone’s heard of Cancun, but there are world-class resorts all along the coastline, which deserve your attention in any season.
