Once the residence of Ottoman sultans, now a palace for modern travelers. My stay at Ciragan Palace was more than luxury, it was a step into Istanbul’s storied past.

The Peninsula Istanbul isn’t just a hotel, it’s a beautifully placed pause. Set along the Bosphorus with Galataport at its doorstep, it offers quiet luxury, intuitive design, and small surprises that stay with you. From garden strolls to flawless in-room tech, it’s a seamless blend of Istanbul’s past and future. 

Small ships. Big experiences. A new kind of journey I'm living right now aboard Windstar's Star Breeze and it’s changing how I think about luxury travel.

Samantha Niederman, Director of Business Development at Reid Travel, recently returned from the Autograph Hotel, Punta Islita, nestled in a private cove surrounded by acres of protected jungle as well as the sea. In the Guanacoste region of Costa Rica, travelers to this pristine paradise will be able to connect with nature on an unparalleled level. Costa Rica is known for its abundant biodiversity, and this region is no exception. Situated next to a macaw sanctuary, visitors of Punta Islita will be delighted by these colorful birds, as well as sightings of monkeys, turtles, and more. One of the particularly unique points of Punta Islita is that it's located in one of 5 Blue Zones worldwide, regions where people live longer and healthier lives. The spirit of the land and the people can be felt here, as you immerse yourself in the experiences offered from horseback riding on the beach to kayaking through mangroves. The region's tiered landscape provides spectacular views of the ocean from every room, and locally sourced ingredients are served in fresh and innovative ways at the Alma & Aura Restaurants. Visitors who venture on this journey will want to return year after year.
