Are We There Yet? – Where To Go Now

The choice of vacation destinations is obviously endless, so I’ve done the hard work for you… spanning the globe, these are five incredible hotspots that you need to see at some point in your life.

South America – Cafayate, Argentina – Grace Cafayate

This emerging wine region is a stunning retreat for family, group and romance travel. Here you will find the newly opened Grace Cafayate, a hotel, spa and residential villas development located in the Salta province of north west Argentina. Marking the group’s first hotel opening in Latin America, Grace Cafayate lies high in Argentina’s Calchaquí Valley, famed for its spectacular backdrop of The Andes and for some of the finest wines South America has to offer.  Gastronomy, golf, spa, wine, horseback riding, hiking and more form an integral part of the guest experience.

Indonesia – Bali, Indonesia – The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas

The Mulia Spa just launched a new lifestyle wellness program that includes personal attention, luxury amenities, and a myriad of activities that embrace fitness, sensible dining and holistic achievement. With a choice between the full-day (five to six hours) or half-day (four hours) wellness program, guests can experience a customized healthy dining menu, personalized fitness classes whether you are looking to detox or training for a marathon, signature treatments and access to the signature Wellness Suite including Asia Pacific’s only Ice Room.

Europe – London, UK – The Goring

For the first time in 15 years, the only Relais & Chateaux hotel in London has a new Executive Chef, who also happens to be the youngest Michelin Starred chef in the capital city. The award-winning Dining Room restaurant has appointed Chef Shay Cooper to create a new, lighter menu at the hotel while still maintaining the ever so delightful quintessential British cuisine.  The new menu features classic English dishes and firm Goring favorites such as Potted Lytham shrimps and Dover Sole and the famous Eggs Drumkilbo a classic starter synonymous with The Goring (and Royalty), has been honed by Shay.
