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.

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.

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.

The best news? When you book with me, you'll unlock VIP COUTURE by Langham perks.
