Lazy beach days, rooftop cocktails and next-level spa time — this month’s exclusive offers have serious vacation energy. Read on for the stays you should book now.

Summer is almost here, which means it’s time to start planning. You can never be too early when it comes to summer travel, as everyone’s ready for a much-needed escape. 

Tried-and-true favorites — Paris, London, et. al. — are trending this summer, but I’ve also seen some under-the-radar newcomers swiftly move up the ranks. Regardless of where you want to go, though, I can make magic happen. Here’s where to go to stay on top of the trends, and where to go to start some new ones. 

I want to share a great, limited-time offer from my new favorite luxury cruise line (or as they like to say "boutique hotel at sea"), Explora Journeys.

Designed to evoke the intimacy of a private yacht, Explora Journeys' suites provide a sanctuary of sophistication and comfort. Each suite offers breathtaking ocean views, spacious living areas, and refined European elegance, ensuring a serene retreat as you sail to captivating destinations. Beyond the comfort of your suite, you will have the opportunity to indulge in exceptional culinary experiences, fine beverages, and ocean-inspired wellness programmes. A wealth of inclusive experiences awaits - each moment thoughtfully curated to inspire your journey to the Ocean State of Mind.

Take a look at the two journeys below—one in the Med and the other in the Caribbean—and let me know your thoughts.

Paris, the City of Light, has been stealing hearts for centuries with its world-class museums, delicious cuisine and irresistibly chic boulevards. While iconic spots like the Louvre and Sacré-Cœur are a must-see, the real magic of Paris lies in its 20 arrondissements, each with its own unique personality. Sip coffee at the literary cafés of the 6th, indulge in high-end shopping in the 8th, soak up the bohemian spirit of Montmartre in the 18th or wander through the Marais' mix of trend and tradition in the 3rd and 4th. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, Paris always has another surprise up its sleeve.

Here are my favorite Paris hotels under $500 a night (though prices may rise during busy seasons). From chic boutique stays to sleek, design-forward retreats, these spots prove you don’t need to break the bank to keep falling for Paris — again and again.

Jackson Hole is an outdoor playground with magnificent scenery that is unmatched and should be seen by all. It offers something for everyone. Push your limits by trying out a new adventure or deepen an existing passion, the options are endless. The town of Jackson offers a quaint and cozy feel with all the amenities one would need and an array of shops and dining. It provided my family and I with a unique experience mingling the best of nature, adventure and relaxation.

Marrakech is a true experience for all the senses. It is so very rich in culture, unmatchable in the passion of its people, the vibrancy of colors, the decadence of architecture and the diversity of gastronomy. I returned from Morocco with a full heart and a sense of appreciation for the experience.

I spent a long layover in Lisbon prior to embarking on another adventure, and I am so glad I did! Spending 48 hours in Lisbon offers a perfect blend of rich history and vibrant culture, as you explore iconic landmarks like the Belém Tower and the historic Alfama district. The city's culinary scene is a delight, featuring delicious pastéis de nata and fresh seafood that will tantalize your taste buds. Additionally, Lisbon's picturesque hills and stunning viewpoints provide breathtaking panoramas that make every moment unforgettable.

London is such a great city to expose yourself and others to not only the city life, but also the British culture. The city is jam-packed with history, interesting sites, foodie meccas and ways mass transit can be used to travel to and from.
