​
Hello again fellow travelers,

One question we get asked a lot is: “Where should we go next?”

If only there were one perfect answer!

The best trip isn’t necessarily the one Conde Nast Traveler or Travel+Leisure says is the hottest destination right now. It’s the place that matches the kind of vacation you’re seeking.

So here’s a little travel matchmaking.

🌲 Craving mountains, wildlife and epic road trips?

British Columbia, Canada

It’s our home province, and we’re still discovering new corners of it. Think pastoral islands, wild West Coast beaches, charming small towns, whale watching (and bears!), wine country and some of the best hiking in Canada. Our BC planning guide pulls together everything you need to start mapping out your adventure.

🏝️ Dreaming of unplugging (and diving!) in paradise?

Alila Purnama, Indonesia

Sail through Indonesia’s Komodo National Park aboard the deluxe 10-guest Alila Purnama, modeled after a traditional phinisi yacht. Snorkel and dive among candy-colored reefs and enormous schools of fish. Wake up to deserted islets. And come face-to-face with Komodo dragons. It was one of the most unforgettable trips we’ve ever taken. (And you can book through Hyatt.)
​

🏖️ Looking for a chic Caribbean escape?

St. Martin

The French half of the dual-nation island (St. Maarten is the Dutch side), St. Martin blends gorgeous beaches, stylish beach clubs, fabulous French restaurants and just the right mix of laid-back island living with a dash of European sophistication.

🍷 Want a laid-back European wine country getaway?

Douro Valley, Portugal

We based ourselves in the charming riverside village of Pinhão, arriving by one of Europe’s most scenic train rides. Our 3-day itinerary includes wine tastings, vineyard hikes, river cruises and plenty of spectacular Douro views — all without needing a rental car.
