Exploring Mallorca's Picturesque Coastal Village of Port de Sóller

Curated by
Sarah Young
Port de Sóller, nestled between the Tramuntana mountains and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, holds a special place in my heart. For our first wedding anniversary, my husband and I took a trip here. We were captivated by the area and our incredible hotel, Jumeriah Port Soller. We found ourselves already planning our next visit before we had even left. The laid-back charm, vibrant culture and stunning natural beauty make it a true gem of Mallorca. Port de Sóller offers an unforgettable experience that captures the essence of Mediterranean bliss. Indulge in a spa day with panoramic mountain views, savor fresh seafood at sunset or take a boat trip to snorkel and visit a secluded restaurant only accessible by sea. This destination holds such significance for us that we even sent my parents there two months later to share in the magic we discovered!

10-Day Foodie Trip to Spain and France, Part 1

Curated by
Lissa Caltrider
Food and wine are deeply ingrained in the culture of both France and Spain. Imagine lingering outside your French villa in the summer with Coq au Vin and a Beaujolais, or a fireside cassoulet and a Bandol in the winter. In the city, you can enjoy a glass a chablis and a quiche lorraine in a streetside bistro. And let's not forget the fromage! In Spain, we drink cava and rioja and eat tapas (including navajas, tortilla de patatas, gazpacho, fabada asturiana) and a huge pan of paella. On vacation, meals are best enjoyed over time, with good friends with laughter!
