My Favorite Airbnb: A Modern Architectural Gem in Venice Beach

There’s no shortage of amazing beaches in the Caribbean—from the white sands of Maundays Bay in Anguilla to the remote beauty of Colombier Beach in St. Barts—but only one can be named the best.

I was a Diamond Medallion member for years but fell to Platinum Medallion when Delta Air Lines introduced higher qualifying requirements for elite status. Even so, most of my domestic flights are still on the airline, thanks to its extensive network from my home in New York City. And Delta has always made it right whenever I've faced an operational meltdown or other issues.

You’d be forgiven for never hearing of Korčula, Croatia—a small Dalmatian island of just 106 square miles, neatly tucked beneath the country’s sprawling coastline, home to some of the best beaches in Croatia. Despite its proximity to ever-popular Dubrovnik and Hvar, Korčula gets decidedly less airtime than other idyllic stone towns in the Adriatic Sea. But look beyond the beloved TV-themed tours and penchant for partying of its neighbors, and you’ll find that this island is a gem that offers quiet beaches, unspoiled landscapes, and a crowd-free destination rich in fascinating history and culture. (And it’s pronounced KOR-chew-lah, with a slight roll of the R.)

If your travel plans include relaxing on European beaches this summer, be sure to pack appropriate cover-ups.

If it's got a few playful ruffles, a bold botanical print, and an easy-breezy vibe, there's a good chance the garment you're admiring is from Zimmermann. The Australian brand, founded in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, is still faithful to its original philosophy of feminine silhouettes, ingenious color combinations, and that laid-back Bondi Beach state of mind—something the duo know well. “There's nothing better than being on a beautiful boat on Sydney Harbour in the sun,” says Nicky. Here she and Simone share their must-do recommendations in their hometown, including where to grab a meal with a view, go for a dip, and, of course, sip a classic flat white when you need to get your caffeine fix.

Avelo Airlines, a low-cost airline, announced 13 new routes and three new destinations for its network, including Nassau, Bahamas, Grand Rapids, and Long Island. This comes on the heels of their recent announcement of two new routes from Charlotte to Nashville and Daytona Beach beginning in April.

For years, flying from the United States to Africa has meant enduring multiple layovers and navigating complex routings through Europe or the Middle East. But that’s starting to change.

Get ready for many more options for low-cost flights coming this spring. 

The best weekend getaways in the US are as rejuvenating as the most languid vacations spent abroad. You really don't have to go far or dedicate overly long stretches of time on your calendar to tick those boxes off your bucket list. The nation has handsome mountain ranges and beautiful beaches, historic landmarks and vibrantly diverse cities, Michelin-starred restaurants and secret holes-in-the-wall you'll want to keep all to yourself, all just steps away from any given corner. You just have to know where to look.

Italy’s glamorous Amalfi Coast has long been a summer playground for the elite, from the days of the Roman Empire right up to the dolce vita heyday of the 1960s, when Sophia Loren had a villa there and Jackie O would go yachting around Capri. It’s no wonder this little stretch of paradise is so beloved—the way the sunlight shimmers on the sea, turning it a thousand shades of aquamarine, emerald green, and deep cobalt as it laps against the rocks; the verdant landscape where bougainvillaea and jasmine bloom; the beach clubs with their neat rows of umbrellas in bright orange, blue, or white all combines to create an irresistible mystique.

Have you ever wanted to try a theme cruise or sail during a holiday but found it too expensive? One cruise line has just added new voyages — featuring everything from themed menus and activities to drink specials — that might be perfect for you.

The price tag on that dream spring break trip may now be within reach, thanks to the American Airlines’ new sale.
