    August is officially here. Translation: it's time for a final summer getaway.

    Read on for a few deals that will make the final weeks of summer vacation even sweeter, plus a few new openings I can't stop talking about.

    Hacienda AltaGracia: 4th night free

    This once-in-a-lifetime destination (although, I certainly hope I'll visit numerous times) sits amid a postcard-worthy tropical forest. The jaw-dropping wellness center is a must: slather yourself in botanics-infused clay before lounging on a heated marble slab — the perfect pre-massage ritual. Plus, you'll encounter the kindest, most incredible staff. Need a mountain-biking buddy? A last-minute snack run? A nourishing meal to bring on the plane? Consider it done. Seriously, don't be surprised if you weep upon leaving.

    Fora Perks:

    • $100 hotel / resort credit.

    • Breakfast daily.

    • Upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.

    Farmhouse Inn: 4th night free

    This charming Wine Country retreat is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. It's surrounded by greenery and rolling vineyards, prime for exploring. Savor farm-to-table cuisine, relax by the fireplace with a good book and enjoy a ritual at the hotel's Wellness Barn. Expect a full-body reset — with wine, of course.

    Fora Perks:

    • $100 hotel / resort credit.

    I love this hidden gem, on the Riviera Maya, for its chic decor, out-of-this-world spa (treatments crafted from wild-harvested ingredients? Say less), white-sand beach, lush tropical gardens, nourishing food...I could go on. Needless to say, here is a very special place for a much-needed dose of tranquility.

    Fora Perks:

    Virgin Hotels New York City: 3rd night free

    If a Virgin Voyages cruise is the hottest place to be at sea, the same can be said for the brand's new NYC hotel. Expect sleek accommodations, a good sense of humor and even better vibes. And because Fora is part of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Platinum, when you book with me, you'll access A+ travel perks.

    So much to see, so little time... The newly renovated Grand Hotel Son Net is out of this world. It's housed in a 17th-century Mallorcan manor in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range (a UNESCO World Heritage Site, no less), amid organic orchards and gardens.

    Back in the States, head to Kona Village Resort, Rosewood's Big Island hideaway consisting of breezy suites and thatched-roofed hale. The resort is perfect for luxe family getaways, honeymoons and just about any type of trip. Days can be spent lounging by the pools (there are four), taking sailing lessons, stand-up paddleboarding, hiking in the nearby Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park...you get the idea. And because Fora is a part of Rosewood Elite, when you book with me, you'll snag exclusive perks.

    Fora Perks:

    • $150 hotel / resort credit.

    • Welcome amenity.

    • Upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.

    Finally, I'm dreaming of The Langham, Gold Coast, the posh collection's latest addition to sunny Australia. Here, guests stay in stylish suites and residences, where Australia's laid-back vibes combine with The Langham's undeniable sophistication. The sleek beachfront getaway also boasts numerous restaurants (serving delicious locally sourced fare, of course), a holistic spa inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and a prime location near the Gold Coast's best attractions, from theme parks to nature escapes. The best news? When you book with me, you'll unlock VIP COUTURE by Langham perks.

    Fora Perks:

    • When you book Langham with Fora, you will enjoy exclusive Preferred Partner amenities. Reach out to learn more.
