The 2026 Men’s Health Travel Awards

If you’re looking for a way to explore a bucket-list location without the hassle of worrying about food, hotels, and renting a car, consider booking a trip on Virgin Voyages. The adults-only cruise line launched in 2021 and its newest ship, Brilliant Lady, recently sailed to Alaska for the first time. When you’re not hiking through rainforests or immersing yourself in local culture, take in the gorgeous scenery while hitting up the various fitness and wellness programming on board (think: guided meditation sessions, pickleball, and group workout classes). And, if you’re lucky, you’ll maybe even spot a whale or two.

Yes, Cortina D’Ampezzo, one of the host cities (along with Milan) for the Winter Games’ snowy, icy, adrenaline-filled action. It’s about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Venice, which is worth it for the powder-heavy ski runs that will leave you winded only a third of the way through. (Work with a company called Dolomite Mountains to create a custom itinerary of skiing, biking, hiking, and all manner of Alpine adventure.) Then return to the Hotel Tofana, one of the newer and more luxurious hotels in the area, to rest and recharge. Its spa and wellness center features three different hot rooms, a cold plunge pool, and foot massage baths.

The newest of the brand’s six hotels, Outbound Sedona is surrounded by sprawling views of the city's famous red rocks and is a stone’s throw away from Cathedral Rock and Devil’s Bridge trails. It’s also a destination for tennis and pickleball players, offering four hard courts and two pools to cool down after your match. Unwind and recover with Outbound’s signature Trail Tamer or Vortex Salt Stone massage at the newly opened spa.

Everything here feels like it’s built around the region’s astounding natural beauty. Quite literally—this extraordinary hotel sits tucked into the curve of the earth, overlooking a jewel-toned lake. The fabulous staff handles all the logistics, tailoring ‘excursions’ to any experience level. Though you’ll spend plenty of time outside, ‘roughing it’ this ain’t. Charcuterie appears with surprising regularity. Do you have to travel to the literal end of the world to get to Tierra Patagonia? Sure. Is it worth every mile? Absolutely.

A great base camp can make or break an outdoor adventure. This one comes with Scandinavian-inspired A-frame cabins and direct access to Asheville's French Broad River Greenway. Spend the day running, biking, kayaking, or exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains before retreating to a cabin loaded with record players, pullout sofas, cozy beds, and warm wood interiors that look like a Huckberry catalog come to life. Dogs are welcome, and the city’s famed breweries and farm-to-table restaurants are just a short ride away.

Adventure cruising usually means choosing between roughing it and luxury. Seabourn gives you both. On voyages like the Northwest Passage, guests sail through the Canadian Arctic alongside a team of scientists, historians, and naturalists, with wildlife encounters, guided shore landings, and excursions aboard small Zodiac boats that can reach places larger ships can't. Back onboard feels like a private yacht, with spacious suites featuring private balconies, exceptional dining, and attentive service. One day you might find yourself jumping into Arctic waters alongside fellow guests during the Polar Plunge; the next, you're enjoying caviar and Champagne with glaciers and icebergs in the background.

Maybe it's the rainforest pressing in from three sides. Or the sparkling waters of Golfo Dulce. Or the palm-lined beach that feels untouched by time. Whatever it is, Playa Cativo Lodge has the kind of scenery that looks AI-generated. Reaching the 18-room eco-lodge requires a boat ride through one of Costa Rica's most remote corners, but the payoff is worth it. Guests can hike through a 1,000-acre private reserve spotting scarlet macaws, monkeys, and giant blue butterflies, then kayak or paddleboard across the wildlife-rich waters of Golfo Dulce. And then, finally, there's watching a slow-burn sunset, a calming mental massage that puts you on a gentle glide path to deep and restful sleep.

Kitesurfers flock to the Outer Banks’ beach town of Cape Hatteras for its strong wintertime winds and big waves. Edgecamp’s 14 suites are like mini residences that offer front-row access to the intense, full-body workouts—lessons, too—happening in the sound just beyond. On property, their wellness center offers ice baths, barrel saunas, and hot tubs. And, in case all that isn’t enough after a day of wave-pummeling, you can schedule an in-room massage too.

Fun for all ages in the truest sense. This expansive luxury resort in the Bahamas offers everything an active family could desire from a beach vacation. Fill up the day with a top-rated golf course, a tennis center by John McEnroe, a jazz club with Jon Batiste, restaurants by world-class chefs, white sand beaches, and plenty of pools to dip your toes in with a cool drink in your hand. For the young ones: a kid’s explorer club, a water park, and a sea tank filled with nurse sharks, stingrays, and Bahamian turtles that will fill them with wonder. Pro tip: Be sure to catch the daily flamingo parade.

Mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and wellness retreats don't usually share the same itinerary. Here, they do. This all-inclusive escape in Québec's Charlevoix region pairs outdoor adventure with a packed lineup of immersive summer experiences, from guided hikes and mountain biking to the Hubblo Dome, a 360-degree theater that transports guests everywhere from the Northern Lights to the International Space Station. Wellness programming, yoga, and movement classes help balance out the action, while campfires, live music, and dancing keep the vibes going after dark.

If setting up (and packing up) camp as you hike through Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park sounds like work, book a reservation here. AutoCamp’s “Airstream suites” include actual beds, a kitchenette, and access to Clubhouse, a communal meeting space with a bonfire and events. It’s basecamp, but far from basic.

If you're headed to Jackson Hole, pack a serious sense of adventure. Teton County is home to two national parks and more than 1.4 million acres of national forest, making it a playground for mountain bikers, fly-fishers, climbers, and trail runners. At the foot of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's aerial tram, this 87-room adventure hotel makes an ideal base camp. Guests can tackle the Via Ferrata on Rendezvous Mountain, cast a line in the Snake River, or hike to iconic spots like Jenny Lake. Luckily, Gravity Haus also features plenty of chances to unwind: hot tubs, yoga, and so much peace and quiet you'll be ready for another adventure soon enough.

Sandstone cliffs, black lava fields, and wide-open skies: Black Desert Resort offers a breathtaking backdrop for your next adventure. Located where the Colorado Plateau, Mojave Desert, and Great Basin converge, it's also a short drive from some of America's most iconic national parks. Through the resort, guests can book guided hikes in nearby Snow Canyon State Park, tee off on the PGA Tour-caliber golf course, or join expert-led stargazing sessions after dark. When you come back down to earth, head to the resort spa, where sound baths, scalp therapy, and hyperbaric chamber sessions help you recover for tomorrow's adventure.

The OG wellness resort is basically a summer camp for adults, where you’ll have the option to keep it chill, adventurous, or somewhere in between. Think of it as recovery from, well, life. Before you head to the property, you’ll set your intention and peruse through the month’s activity calendar to choose your programming for the stay. This can range from spa treatments to hikes to challenge courses to pottery to yoga to tarot card readings and so many other activities that will have you thinking, wait, am I actually into this? After each activity ends, you’ll pass people of all ages—often small groups of friends—in the halls buzzing about their learnings and reminding themselves how lucky they are to be here (the place ain’t cheap, after all!).

If you're a history buff who likes an elevated spa and wellness experience, this is your spot. A desert oasis outside of Phoenix, the entire resort is built around a progressive series of natural mineral-rich soaking pools used by stagecoach passengers two hundred years ago. The lithium- and magnesium-infused pools, which range in temperature are the highlight, but there's so much else to do. Scale canyon walls on a Via Ferrata excursion, off-road in the Sonoran Desert, or mountain bike on the same road 19th century travelers traversed to visit the renowned springs. This is an all-inclusive resort, so your meals at Harvest or Bar 1896 (its two excellent dining options) as well as all taxes and gratuities are included for most activities. The spa's cabanas offer the perfect setting for a series of unique wellness-themed services (try the Nervous System Reset Massage or Desert Salt & Glow body treatment), but really, the entire resort is a spa—you could easily spend an entire day soaking in the springs.

Millennial film buffs know this as the hotel where Bill Murray stared out at the city lights in Lost in Translation. Following a major renovation, the Tokyo landmark feels better than ever without losing the character that made it famous in the first place. The hotel's famous 47th-floor pool is flanked by state-of-the-art fitness equipment and some of the best views in Tokyo. Need some R&R after a day of exploring? Head to the separate men's and women's spa areas featuring marble whirlpools, steam rooms, and multiple relaxation lounges. End the night at the legendary New York Bar, where live jazz and jaw-dropping skyline views remind you exactly why this place became a movie star.

Just beyond Lake Superior’s shore, this all-inclusive retreat hosts a sauna open 24 hours (midnight sweat session, anyone?), nature walks, yoga, and 100 acres of surrounding forest. What they offer changes quickly, which means you could experience a cold moon sound bath on one trip and an intensive breathwork workshop the next.

The blazing heat of the Sonoran Desert, the humbling grandness of five mountain ranges, the towering awesomeness of saguaro cacti everywhere—Tucson is wild, man. And I'm convinced there's no better place to recharge than this sprawling desert resort. The 575-room property offers plenty of ways to unwind, from a massive pool and lazy river to a full-service spa, guided meditation sessions, and three (yeah, three) championship-level golf courses. Do those things, but also have the hotel arrange a visit to the Mount Lemmon SkyCenter. Looking at stars, galaxies, and nebulae through one of the country's largest public telescopes makes everyday stress feel very, very small.

Beyond its beautiful beachfront setting, it's the vibe at Maroma that sets it apart from other Riviera Maya resorts. The connection to Mayan culture and the natural beauty of the region is woven throughout the property, nowhere more so than at the Melipona Bee Sanctuary. There, guests can experience a blend of energy cleansing and education centered around the sacred stingless Melipona bee, including sound healing guided by the bees' natural buzzing frequencies. The only thing that rivals the experience? Watching the sunset from one of the most pristine beaches in Mexico. Add in genuinely warm service, and it's easy to leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and connected to the destination.

One of San Francisco’s most iconic properties, The Huntington Hotel recently unveiled a refreshed Nob Hill Spa, transforming it into a 9,000-square-foot wellness sanctuary where old-world charm meets modern modalities. Your expert move: the Signature Hot Stone Massage that instantly melts away tension. A massage therapist uses smooth electric stones to maintain a consistent 120 degrees Fahrenheit throughout your treatment, and rubs you down with Laurel California body oil, packed with 20 organic plants and smelling like fir and cedar. Follow up with the Gentleman’s Skin Solution to tackle clogged pores and skin irritation from shaving. After your treatments, be sure to hit the massive soaking pool and grab lunch on the terrace, which boasts panoramic views of the city.

If you're looking for the most luxurious resort on Florida's Gulf Coast, start here. This new Four Seasons pairs the elegance of Old Naples with bright interiors filled with high ceilings, whitewashed woods and woven rattan accents. The 30,000-square-foot Sanctuary Spa is just as impressive. Book the Golden Ratio Massage, which combines guided breathwork, warm and cool stone therapy, and tension-releasing bodywork, then try the Ammortal Chamber, a recovery pod that combines light therapy, sound, and guided relaxation in a session. Even by Four Seasons standards, this place feels special.

Tucked inside London's picturesque Portman Square is the sleek Nobu Hotel—a departure from the city's storied hotels. And like its forward-thinking architecture, the Nobu is putting a futuristic spin on wellness with its partnership with longevity and skin health leader Nuriss, founded by renowned GP Dr. Anita Sturnham. Part spa, part holistic health clinic, most of the treatments are overseen by a nurse rather than an aesthetician and combine traditional spa protocols (Hydrafacials, massages) with wellness-focused options (IV drips). Each treatment is tailored to your needs. Feeling jet lagged? Try a massage designed to support your natural circadian rhythm alongside vitamin injections. Looking to kick-start healthier habits? Meet with a weight management consultant while trying a lymphatic drainage protocol. Nuriss also offers regenerative aesthetic treatments like exosome therapy or injections of Sculptra and Radiesse as well as Botox and peptide therapy.

Earth’s driest non-polar desert isn’t just vast, it’s absolutely packed with things to do and see. With so much—an entire valley that literally looks like the surface of the moon, for starters—it would be easy to get overwhelmed. That’s where Tierra Atacama’s incredible legion of guides comes in. Included with your stay is access to any number of extraordinary excursions helmed by ultra-knowledgeable folks with staggering knowledge of local history, geography, flora and fauna. Add to that ultra-luxe digs, adventurous eats, and amazing views of Licancabur volcano, and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind excursion.

Two things you might not anticipate about this thoughtful resort-within-a-resort: the first is that it is shockingly, abundantly family-friendly; the second is that the local wildlife steals the show at every opportunity. (Ever heard of a coati?) Children or iguanas, there’s plenty of space for critters of all kinds, with suites and villas built around an intricate system of lagoons. No swimming in those, though! To take a dip you’ll have to hit one of several pools and beach clubs, or go to the cavernous spa, which features an array of locally-inspired wellness treatments—one of which even takes place by moonlight.

For travelers who want the privacy of a sprawling beachfront estate with the five-star service, Villa Avellana delivers. Tucked within Costa Rica’s Peninsula Papagayo, the 10-bedroom retreat is available exclusively as a full-property buyout, pairing a private chef, butler, concierge team, and daily housekeeping with the seclusion of a single-family home. Set on three lush beachfront acres and designed by acclaimed Sarco Architects, the villa also includes a private yacht, curated excursions like tubing and jet-skiing, wellness experiences, and endless opportunities to soak up Costa Rica’s signature pura vida lifestyle.

Iron Mountain Hot Springs has done the impossible: make it feel like you’ve traveled the world all in one place. Their adult-only WorldSprings section is modeled after international destinations from Iceland’s Blue Lagoon to Japan’s famous onsens. Each pool is designed to the exact temperature and mineral composition of each site—but surrounded by breathtaking Colorado mountain views. Its latest addition is the outdoor Sauna Summit containing five unique saunas with suggested circuits to tailor your visit. After a hike, the saunas (red-light sauna is a must) and cold plunge are what any active wellness enthusiast needs to recharge and recover.

The Austin Proper is such a vibe that it’s often filled with locals and travelers alike. And if it wasn’t steps away from Lady Bird Lake and Zilker Park, you probably wouldn’t want to leave. Aside from its beautifully designed, spacious rooms, the wellness-focused property is known for its on-site restaurant, the Peacock Mediterranean Grill & Bar, that serves up delicious Mediterranean food. When you’re not eating or exploring downtown Austin, head to the Verbena Spa for targeted treatments and a quick cold plunge/sauna sesh. Or hit up the 24-hour fitness center that includes all of the cardio and strength training equipment you could possibly want (Pelotons, Concept2 rowers, Pilates reformers, dumbbells, a squat rack, the whole shebang). Before you turn in for the night, drinks on the rooftop pool deck are a must.

Bay Area guys whose ideal weekend includes morning beach walks, afternoons browsing cool boutiques, and long, Euro-style dinners fueled by good wine should book a room at this French château-inspired property in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea. The 20-room inn is chock-full of cozy European touches, from crackling fireplaces to an intimate courtyard that's perfect for a Pinot-fueled happy hour before dinner. Chef-owner Justin Cogley oversees Aubergine, the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, where the steak frites are a must-order. And no sad breakfast buffets here. Morning meals feature indulgent, made-to-order dishes like fluffy omelets, applewood-smoked bacon, and house-made granola. Come evening, turndown service arrives with rotating sweet treats, from mini matcha cakes to freshly baked cookies.

South America’s largest city moves fast. That’s why you need a hotel that puts you in the middle of the action while still giving you room to recharge. Enter the Renaissance São Paulo, a statesman hotel in the heart of Jardins, one of the city’s most upscale and walkable neighborhoods. The 444-room property puts you within easy reach of museums, parks, shopping, and some of the best people-watching in the city. After a day exploring, grab a seat at the hotel's lively lobby bar, a favorite gathering spot for locals, business travelers, and expats, or book a treatment at the expansive spa, where its massage offerings works wonders on travel-weary muscles. With NFL and Formula 1 events helping turn São Paulo into a bigger sports spot, the Renaissance is where the action starts and ends, with special hotel programming (think: NFL-themed watch parties) and a location that makes getting to and from the city's biggest venues a breeze.

Privacy is the ultimate luxury, and few places do it better than The Abaco Club. Spread across 500 acres on Great Abaco Island, this beachfront community feels a world apart from the crowded mega-resorts that dominate much of the Caribbean. Members can spend the morning walking its two-mile stretch of white-sand beach, sneak in an afternoon round on the oceanside golf course, or simply settle into a beach chair and let the hours disappear. What truly sets the property apart, though, is its community. Owners and guests return year after year, creating the kind of relaxed, members-club atmosphere that's increasingly hard to find.

Big resorts have their place. This 48-room boutique hotel takes the opposite approach. Inspired by the residence of legendary hotelier Louis Davenport, the property feels more like a impeccably curated home of a well-traveled gentleman than a traditional hotel. Expect warm color palettes, botanical books, pressed flowers, and cozy library-like spaces. Exclusive butler service adds another layer of luxury, while the property's intimate scale provides extra privacy. When you need a little more action, the restaurants, spa, and amenities of the historic Davenport Hotel sit just across the street.

Anyone who has ever been to Yellowstone National Park knows the majesty of its landscape, as well as the rustic charm of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, nearby. Hotel Jackson Hole drops you into this scenery with luxurious rooms overlooking both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. Waking up to insane views of the seemingly never-ending western mountain ranges, you feel as though you’ve stepped into a Cormac McCarthy novel, trading the recurring themes of survival and violence for a bed so cosy you’ll almost struggle to make it out and into the wild. The best part? It’s adults only, so no screaming kids running around to intrude on your zen. The atmosphere is homely, intimate, and beautifully expansive. As a result, in the week we were there, we witnessed three marriage proposals.

A longtime standard-bearer for luxury in Turks and Caicos, Grace Bay Club is raising the bar once again with 22 renovated oceanfront suites in its adults-only enclave. The refreshed accommodations pair elevated coastal design with private terraces, sweeping sea views, and access to a serene adults-only pool and hot tub. Guests can also set sail aboard the Princess Grace, a 65-foot catamaran offering exclusive snorkeling excursions, sunset sails, and delicious onboard dining. The food on land is just as memorable, from the ocean-reaching Infiniti Sushi Bar to destination-worthy dining at Vita and Cave Bar at Rock House.

Imagine if a luxury resort, sporting club, summer camp, and private residential community all got rolled into one 3,500-acre property. That's The Preserve. This Rhode Island countryside compound is best known for its shooting sports, but the accommodations are just as cool. Think Yellowstone townhomes or tiny houses that double as sleek bachelor pads. Once you're here, there's little reason to leave, thanks to a 12,000-square-foot spa, private dinners inside a Hobbit House (yes, really), and a rotating lineup of seasonal events to keep your crew entertained for days.

At Brasada Ranch, high-desert sunsets, snow-capped mountain views, and enough open space to make your inbox feel very far away. Spread across 1,800 acres outside Bend, Oregon, the resort gives guests plenty of room to breathe, whether that's from an adults-only pool overlooking the Cascade Mountains, a horseback ride through the high desert, or a treatment at the spa. Many of the cabins and ranch houses come with private hot tubs, fire pits, and front-row seats to some of the best stargazing in the Pacific Northwest. Your heart rate starts dropping before you've even unpacked.

Palm Springs has no shortage of stylish hotels. Drift stands out by doing less. Inspired by the desert landscapes of Baja and designed around a series of sun-drenched courtyards, the property trades old-school Palm Springs kitsch for clean lines, natural materials, and a calm, residential feel. Most rooms come with full kitchens and generous outdoor space, making it easy to settle in for a few days. When you're not lounging by the pool, grab a mezcal cocktail at Maleza or book a yoga class. The desert does the rest.

Soak up Japanese minimalist cool when you book a plywood microcabin (called a Jyubako Suite) at Snow Peak's first property outside of Asia, on Washington's Long Beach Peninsula. Spring brings migrating gray whales, visible from the dunes you'll reach after a short walk through the surrounding forest. It's easy to do nothing here—especially from the Ofuro Spa's soaking pools and sauna. But the property also encourages guests to slow down the Snow Peak way, whether that's gathering around a campfire, lingering over coffee, or kicking back in a cabin.

Yes, this Virginia retreat has its own 18 holes, courtesy of legendary golf course architect Pete Dye. Yes, the food comes from Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Yes, two-hour personalized massages are available. But let's be honest: you'll probably spend most of your time at the adults-only infinity pool. Perched above the rolling Virginia countryside, an hour here somehow turns into three. When you finally peel yourself away, there are rounds at Full Cry, long lunches at Marigold, and plenty of quiet corners throughout the estate to continue doing what you came here to do: absolutely nothing. No shame.

Las Vegas can be a lot. So it's important to go somewhere that you'll be taken care of—and that's Wynn Las Vegas. The morning after hitting the tables, head to The Spa at Wynn or the on-site Clean Market IV Drip lounge to fuel yourself up in a way you normally wouldn't. Then there's the food. Sartiano's will knock your luxury-steakhouse craving out. Mizumi has incredible waterfall views and even better sushi and fried rice. Head to Delilah for a decadent meal before catching the day's biggest games at Charlie's Sports Bar, where they'll keep the food coming and your glasses full.

Think of Star Princess as a choose-your-own-adventure vacation that happens to float. The cruise giant's newest ship packs enough restaurants, bars, entertainment, and wellness amenities to keep you busy from sunrise to last call. Grab a mocktail in the Piazza, catch an aerial performance beneath The Dome's massive glass canopy—which doubles as a pool and lounge by day—then kick back in a stateroom that looks more boutique hotel than cruise cabin. The biggest challenge? Figuring out how to fit it all into one trip.

Tokyo can be sensory overload. The JW Marriott is your oasis. Opened in 2025 above one of the city's best-connected train stations, you're just a hop, skip, and train ride from hotspots like Ginza and Shibuya. Then retreat back to the hotel's sleek rooms, where floor-to-ceiling windows, deep soaking tubs, and skyline views make it easy to recharge after a day of sightseeing. When you're not exploring, post up in the excellent Executive Lounge, which serves some of the best hotel sushi we've ever had, or head to the wellness floor for R&R at the lap pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and Technogym-equipped fitness center.

Set between Miami’s famed white-sand shoreline and its after-dark action, the W South Beach offers a front-row seat to the energy of the 305—especially during Formula 1 weekend. The arrival sets the tone: a F1 car greets you at the entrance as live music drifts from the lounge. After a sunny day at the track, guests can ease into the quieter side of luxury with cocktails by the pool, afternoons under a beachfront cabana, or a workout in the hotel’s sleek fitness studio, complete with cardio equipment, free weights, and weekly classes like yoga and tennis. Back upstairs, the rooms offer a welcome exhale—automatic blinds, plush robes, and the kind of room service that makes staying in feel just as appealing as going out. W South Beach offers a stay that turns a race weekend into a full-fledged escape.

While some wellness offerings feel like a nice addition to a resort, it was the first thing on the minds of Amrit Ocean Resort from its inception. Its massive four-story wellness and spa facility will allow you to have a CBD massage session right before taking a cold plunge or maybe spend time at the sauna. You can even schedule a floating Ayush sound bath and holistic hair health evaluation. A morning walk along the beach looking at the Atlantic Ocean is a good way to end a rejuvenating stay.

You've probably heard of Nikki Beach for its champagne-fueled clubstaurants, celebrity DJs, and Bezos-level parties. But at the brand's Santorini outpost, the focus is just as much on recovery as revelry. Unlike the island's famous cliffside hotels, this one puts you steps from the sand, with private pools, ocean-view suites, and a spa designed for long afternoons of doing absolutely nothing. When you're ready to leave your lounger, the resort's beach club serves fresh seafood and cocktails overlooking Monolithos Beach, one of Santorini's famous stretches of black volcanic sand.

America's longest-running Four Seasons property could coast on reputation alone. Instead, the Georgetown institution continues to set the standard for luxury hotels. From the jump, the service is impeccable. Staff members know your name before you've introduced yourself, and the concierge can handle everything from last-minute reservations at the city's toughest tables to a perfectly planned day in the capital. The wellness facilities are equally impressive. There's a private sauna and cold plunge you can reserve for yourself, an indoor lap pool, and a sprawling fitness center where pro sports teams often train. End the day with a steak at Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak before catching some Zzzs in one of the hotel's famously comfortable 212 rooms.

This secluded hillside haven is surrounded by incredibly lush greenery and sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea. The property features a kitted-out gym and sits steps away from a private bay where you can kayak, paddleboard, snorkel, swim, and kick back on the red lounge chairs. Famous guests include Drake, Harry Styles, and Diplo, who want to soak up the hotel's luxe tropical vibes and lay down tracks in its three recording studios. The heartbeat of Geejam’s scene is the open-air Bushbar, where you can dine on classic Jamaican dishes and sip fresh-pressed juice and specialty cocktails by the infinity pool throughout the day. On weekends, expect live shows and music booming from the treehouse DJ booth, or shoot pool with friendly faces at the hotel. The property features 12 loft-style Rumba rooms, four cabins named after Jamaican music genres, and four lavish villas. Consider booking a bi-level room with a soaking tub overlooking the living space, featuring soaring windows and a private balcony—the ideal spot to catch the morning sunrise.

Booked your Airbnb? Don't sleep on the app's Experiences. The feature lets travelers book activities led by local experts, making it easy to add everything from Mediterranean catamaran cruises to hands-on cooking classes and walking tours without spending hours researching operators. And with the FIFA World Cup in full swing, Airbnb is also rolling out soccer-focused experiences across North America, including the chance to customize a World Cup jersey with an Adidas design expert, train with soccer legends, and even attend matches with insiders who know the city best. Better yet, many of these experiences offer access to places most tourists never see.

One of the Caribbean’s most exciting new openings, Zemi Miches All-Inclusive Resort brings a fresh take on luxury to the secluded shores of Playa Esmeralda. Opened in 2025, the resort breaks from the all-inclusive mold with a dining lineup that spans Thai, Mediterranean, and Dominican cuisine. For an even more luxe stay, book one of Club Azure’s beachfront bungalows, where private plunge pools sit steps from the sand and personal concierge service handles every detail. Bungalow guests also gain access to exclusive dining venues and a rooftop infinity pool with sweeping ocean views.
