Bermuda surprised me in the best way. I knew the island was beautiful, but I didn’t expect to fall so hard for its history, culture, and the way locals celebrate both with genuine pride—especially around Mary Prince Day and the energy rolling straight out of Cup Match weekend. As an Alabama sports girl who couldn’t explain cricket if my life depended on it, I found myself completely swept up in the island wide team spirit. The commitment, the rivalry, the joy—it felt familiar in a way only true fans understand. What stayed with me was the breeze never stopping, the warmth of Bermudian hospitality, and the feeling of being welcomed into something meaningful rather than just visiting a place. Bermuda is charming, safe, and deeply soulful—the kind of island you leave already planning your return. I certainly did.

Juluca means "rainbow," a symbol of serenity and divine intention—a fitting name for a place where every detail is designed to restore your inner quiet. The outlets tucked discreetly inside the bedside drawer feel like a small luxury, keeping electronics out of sight so days unfold without interruption and nights settle into deep, peaceful sleep. It remains the most tranquil vacation I’ve experienced, shaped by warm, intuitive service and thoughtful touches like reserved beach chairs with each room and familiar, engaging hospitality. Maundays Bay stays calm and crystalline, ideal for snorkeling, floating, or simply watching the horizon shift—a place where relaxation feels effortless and beautifully unforced.

After several unforgettable stays at LeBlanc Los Cabos, I was eager to experience its Caribbean counterpart—especially the promise of a swimmable turquoise beach paired with the luxury I already adore. LeBlanc Cancun delivered a familiar sense of elevated service and spa-centric wellness, but with its own vibrant coastal energy. Every detail, from the intuitive butler service to the curated dining, reminded me why this brand continues to be my benchmark for adult luxury all-inclusive travel. This property feels like a natural extension of my love for LeBlanc, offering a new way to unwind while still feeling wonderfully at home. What makes the Cancun property special is the way it blends LeBlanc’s signature sophistication with the bright, inviting energy of the Caribbean.

Four Seasons Cabo del Sol is a property I chose very intentionally—not just because it’s beautiful, but because it reflects the kind of travel experience I love crafting for my clients. I’m drawn to places where service feels effortless, where design connects to the land, and where details quietly elevate your stay without ever demanding attention. This resort delivers all of it with ease. I fell for its rare swimmable beach in Cabo and the creative touches like the onsite herb garden and art studio. From the moment you arrive, you feel the Four Seasons signature intuitive service, genuine hospitality, and a sense of Baja feeling honest and soulful. It’s the kind of place I recommend when clients want luxury in Cabo with real warmth, real beauty, and real connection.

Rosewood has become a meaningful part of my own travel story—a brand known for intuitive service, thoughtful design, and a sense of place built with intention. After unforgettable stays at Rosewood Baha Mar, experiencing their Cabo property felt like the natural next chapter. This visit reaffirmed why it remains one of the most sought-after stays in Los Cabos—the service is intuitive, the design is timeless, and every corner feels intentionally crafted to slow you down in the best way.

Napa holds a special place in my travel rhythm—a stateside escape I return to between wine soaked adventures in Italy, Greece, and France. Each visit brings something new: a just released vintage, a tucked-away tasting room, a weekend of laughter with girlfriends, or a romantic retreat for two. Its proximity makes indulging in world class varietals effortless, and the near perfect weather means Napa shines almost year round. For oenophiles who crave depth, discovery, and ease, Napa offers a world of pleasure without crossing an ocean.

Cabo holds a special place in my heart—it’s where I was married, at the beautiful Le Blanc Spa Resort. Its year round sunshine, effortless flight access from the US, and freedom from hurricane season make it an easy escape for both quick getaways and milestone moments. I’m especially drawn to its refined, modern energy, a chic contrast to the more casual Caribbean vibe, yet still infused with all the turquoise water magic. Cabo blends sophistication and serenity in a way few destinations can, which is why I return again and again.
