Spain
Spain, in all its layered richness, is a perennial favourite. From the architecture of Andalusia to the sultry buzz of Barcelona’s beachside bars, the country is a tapestry of contrasts. One of our team members swears by Mallorca for its laid-back energy and hidden calas, while another dreams of Granada’s Alhambra at golden hour. Whichever corner you choose, Spain delivers on warmth—in both climate and culture.
Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is that effortlessly cool friend—low-key but unforgettable. With its faded pastel buildings, tiled facades and rattling yellow trams, the city offers nostalgia with a modern twist. We love mornings spent wandering Alfama’s steep alleys, followed by afternoons stretched out in the sun at one of the city’s rooftop bars. Lisbon has a soulfulness that lingers long after you’ve left—and a pace of life that invites you to stay.
Nice, France
There’s a reason the French Riviera never goes out of style. Nice is where elegance meets ease: think art-deco charm, aperitifs by the promenade, and early morning swims in that unmistakable Mediterranean blue. It’s more relaxed than Monaco, more refined than Cannes—and has an undercurrent of old-school glamour we can’t resist. A team favourite for those who want beauty with a bit of bite.
Croatia
Croatia has quietly become the insider’s coastal escape. Its Adriatic coast is all crystalline water, unspoilt islands, and seafood so fresh it barely needs dressing. We’re especially fond of Hvar for its sailing culture and golden light, but Dubrovnik’s old town also has our hearts—especially before the crowds arrive. Croatia is for those who want salt on their skin, sun in their hair, and an itinerary that lets you breathe.
Budapest, Hungary
Budapest is where romance meets grit—and that’s why we love it. There’s a grandeur to the architecture, from thermal baths to parliament buildings, but also a raw energy pulsing through its ruin bars and late-night jazz cellars. Come for the café culture and riverside walks, stay for the unexpected. As one team member put it: “Budapest feels like falling into a novel you didn’t know you needed.”
Venice, Italy
Venice is a dream, yes—but not in the saccharine sense. It’s faded and surreal and often inconvenient, and that’s precisely what makes it magic. Getting lost in its labyrinth of canals and quiet campos is a rite of passage. Go in the early hours or late evening, when the day-trippers are gone, and you’ll find a city suspended in time. It’s the kind of place that reshapes your idea of beauty.
Paros, Greece
While Santorini and Mykonos command the spotlight, Paros hums along quietly in the background—and that’s exactly why we love it. Gleaming villages, calm beaches, and tavernas where time slows down. There’s a soft, golden rhythm to life here. You come to Paros not to tick off sites, but to let your shoulders drop, your sandals gather dust, and your soul breathe.
