Round two, and this list might be even better. Cave suites, a converted 1923 bank, a 40-hour hotel stay… Save this one for later or for inspo for your next trip.

🏊 Erema Milos: every single suite has its own infinity pool, on Milos’ quiet volcanic coast
🏛️ Anthology of Athens: a rooftop pool with Acropolis views, right across from the Temple of Olympian Zeus
📚 Charlotte Street Hotel: real Bloomsbury art in the Drawing Room and a private screening room
🏦 K5 Tokyo: a 1923 bank turned design hotel in Tokyo’s old financial district
🏖️ Baymahni: just 15 bungalows on an Exumas island you can only reach by boat, with no cars and no crowds
🍸 Casa Carolina: a 16th-century mansion in Cartagena’s Walled City, with a rooftop bar run by one of the World’s 50 Best Bars
🕐 The Peninsula Tokyo: check in at 6am, check out at 10pm, overlooking the Imperial Palace
♨️ San Montano: 11 thermal pools fed by Ischia’s volcanic springs, plus its own beach

Why stay at one hotel when a destination has two completely different personalities? 🤍
Meet the Split Stay: my favorite way to design a trip that feels twice as rich. Too little time for two countries, too much to spend it all in one spot? This is the move. You change scenery mid-trip, see two sides of a place, and come home feeling like you took two vacations in one.

Here are some of my favorite split stays ⬇️

1️⃣ St. Lucia 🇱🇨: lush rainforest hideaway → Piton-view beach resort
2️⃣ Costa Rica 🇨🇷: volcano & cloud forest → Pacific coast sand
3️⃣ England 🏴: buzzy London → the storybook Cotswolds
4️⃣ Anguilla 🇦🇮: lively resort side → secluded barefoot-luxe beach
5️⃣ Indonesia 🇮🇩: cultural Ubud jungle → Bali’s beach clubs & coast
6️⃣ South Africa 🇿🇦: chic Cape Town → a Big Five safari lodge
7️⃣ Thailand 🇹🇭: temples & energy of Bangkok → the islands of the south
8️⃣ Chile 🇨🇱: otherworldly Atacama Desert → cosmopolitan Santiago (or Patagonia)

The right pairing can completely transform a honeymoon or a getaway.

Some moments deserve more than just a backdrop—they deserve the right setting.

A destination proposal hits differently. You’re somewhere beautiful, fully present, and removed from the everyday—whether that’s sunset in Santorini or sunrise above ancient ruins. The setting doesn’t just host the moment, it becomes part of it.

To help inspire, we’re sharing real proposals planned by Fora Advisors, where every detail is thoughtful, seamless, and personal.

Perched above Baie Longue with one of the most breathtaking stretches of sand on the island, La Samanna is the definition of understated Caribbean luxury 🌴🩵🧡

Think villas cascading down to the sea, terracotta roofs, and that effortless French-meets-island aesthetic that feels both refined and completely relaxed. Mornings here are all about ocean views from your private terrace, while days unfold between a tucked-away beach, long lingering lunches, and that signature St. Martin energy.

It’s intimate, design-forward, and quietly iconic—the kind of place that doesn’t try too hard, because it doesn’t have to ✨🏖️🐚🌸

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ is coming in loud — and so are the hotel openings. Bold, shiny, and absolutely ready to test your PTO and your willpower. Consider this your official warning: spontaneous trip planning and excessive daydreaming may occur. Where are we checking in first? 🗝️🛎️

Australia just hits different 🇦🇺💫 Sydney’s iconic harbor days, Melbourne’s artsy laneways + latte lifestyle, and the Great Barrier Reef literally being a whole other universe underwater… like, how is one country THIS good?! 😍🌊🐠

But Australia is so much more than the greatest hits. Every corner is serving up something special: the beauty of the West Coast, the Red Centre earth magic of Uluru, the world class wine regions outside of Adelaide, and the cool-climate foodie heaven of Tasmania. This country has endless places to explore. ✨🍷

From coastal hikes to rooftop cocktails to reef-snorkeling bliss — the magic just keeps going, and going, and going. I could talk about Australia all day. Every day. And I probably will. 😉 ✈️🌏
