Travel + Leisure readers just voted this the best resort in Europe, and we could not agree more.

Castiglion del Bosco, a Rosewood hotel on a 5,000-acre estate in Montalcino, took the top resort spot in Europe in this year's World's Best Awards with a near-perfect score. Add two Michelin stars at Ristorante Campo del Drago, three Michelin Keys, and an estate winery producing its own Brunello di Montalcino, and the case pretty much makes itself.

Golfers, save this part. The estate is home to the only private golf club in Italy, a Tom Weiskopf-designed 18-hole course that hotel guests can actually play. Expect Val d'Orcia views on every hole and almost no one else on the course.

One island. Safari, tea country, ancient cities, and beaches. Sri Lanka might be the most complete destination we book. Here are just a few of the highlights:

Leopards in Yala National Park, home to one of the densest leopard populations on earth. The hill country train, gliding past tea estates on what many call the most beautiful rail ride in the world. Sigiriya, a royal fortress built on top of a rock rising 600 feet out of the jungle. Galle's 17th-century Dutch fort, now full of boutiques and cafés. And the south coast beaches to end on.

The hotel scene deserves its own mention, with colonial-era tea bungalows, design hotels shaped by the legacy of architect Geoffrey Bawa, and safari camps that rival Africa's.

A question we hear from clients who have already done Tokyo and Kyoto: what does round two of Japan look like?

One of our favorite answers is Amanemu, Aman's hot spring resort on the Ise-Shima peninsula, a coastline of green coves and fishing villages a couple of hours southeast of Kyoto and Osaka. Every suite and villa has its own onsen bath fed by mineral-rich thermal springs, so you get Japan's beloved bathing ritual in complete privacy. No shared pools or second-guessing the etiquette.

It shines brightest on a return trip, slow and deeply Japanese in a way the big cities can't be. First-timers shouldn't rule it out either: tack three nights onto the end of a Tokyo and Kyoto route, and you'll fly home rested instead of running on fumes.

First visit or fifth, Japan always has more to give. Reach out, and we'll start planning.

Our favorite under-the-radar Mediterranean capital? Valletta. And we know exactly where you should stay.

Iniala Valletta is the only Forbes Five-Star hotel in Malta, four years running, and it just received the country's first two Michelin Keys. The hotel occupies a row of centuries-old townhouses on St. Barbara Bastion, looking straight across the Grand Harbour. Just 23 rooms, each one different, with a spa carved into the old stone vaults below.

The rooftop is the showstopper: ION Harbour by Simon Rogan, the most celebrated dining room in the country, with the harbor and the Three Cities glowing across the water at sunset. Book that table before you book your flights.

Malta squeezes 7,000 years of history into a few square miles, and this is the place to sleep in the middle of it. Let's plan it.

Trend alert. Glowcations are one of the most requested trips of the year, and the requests keep coming for 2027.

So what is one? A glowcation is a trip built around skin, rest, and wellness rituals, with the goal of coming home visibly better than when you left. Less sightseeing marathon, more treatments, thermal waters, deep sleep, and good food doing their quiet work.

The destinations doing it best right now include South Korea, for K-beauty facials and bathhouse culture. Thailand, for herbal therapies and some of the finest massage traditions anywhere. And Europe, from Swiss longevity clinics to Italian thermal springs and Greek island wellness retreats.

Advisor note: The top practitioners and signature treatments book out weeks or months ahead, so we secure them before you land. Ready to glow? Message us.

What happens when you cross a classic safari with the Australian Outback?

You get Bamurru Plains, a ten-bungalow camp on a private station in Australia's Top End. The early wake-ups and the sundowners made the trip from Africa. Everything else is pure Australia.

Game drives by airboat, flying over floodplains at speed with your guide spotting wildlife the whole way. Wild buffalo on the banks and saltwater crocs in the shallows, sometimes close enough to count their teeth. And serious birdlife, over 230 species on this one station, including sunrise takeoffs of magpie geese by the thousands.

Back at camp, the bungalows are raised above the wetlands with mesh walls in place of glass, so you fall asleep to the sounds of the floodplain and wake up to wallabies grazing below your deck.

The season runs roughly May through October, and we like to pair it with Kakadu's ancient rock art and a night or two in Darwin. Message me to start planning.

Shoulder season isn't a season. It's a skill.

April: New Zealand, as autumn turns the vineyards gold and the summer crowds head home.

May: Greece, when the islands are warm and awake but still belong to the locals.

Early June: Bali, at the start of the dry season, just ahead of the summer surge.

September: South Africa, for spring safaris and the wildflower bloom along the Cape.

October: Japan, as the first autumn color arrives and the humidity finally leaves.

Same destinations everyone loves. Better light, better rates, fewer people.

Knowing where to go is the easy part. Knowing when is why we're here. Message us, and we'll time it right.
