KAUA‘I, HAWAI‘I

There’s a grounded, almost spiritual beauty to Hawai‘i—especially on the island of Kaua‘i. We stayed at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, nestled between lush cliffs and the Pacific. Each morning, we woke up to sweeping views and stillness, and each evening we chased golden-hour skies. Between roadside poke bowls, mountain hikes, and moments immersed in native Hawaiian culture, it was the kind of trip that recalibrates your soul. Pure magic.

 

NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

Napa is a love letter to slowing down. We checked into Hotel Yountville, where every detail—from the oversized suites to the serene spa—invites you to unwind. Our days unfolded gently, moving from tastings at Del Dotto and Beringer to long, late lunches overlooking the vines. There’s an effortless luxury to Napa—nothing loud, just deeply intentional living.

 

CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, CALIFORNIA

Carmel is the kind of place that doesn’t feel real until you’re there. The village itself looks like a fairytale—winding stone pathways, ivy-covered cottages, and art galleries tucked into hidden alleys. We stayed at the Carmel by the Sea Hotel, just steps from the beach. At sunset, the sky would blush, and the whole town felt like it was holding its breath. It’s intimate, romantic, and timeless.

 

OREGON COAST

There’s a kind of moody elegance along the Oregon Coast that lingers with you. We drove south from Cannon Beach, stopping in tiny bookstores and quiet, windswept overlooks. The landscape felt cinematic—fog rolling over cliffs, waves crashing against jagged stone, pine trees leaning into the ocean air. It felt like we were in the Twilight movies.

 

LEAVENWORTH, WASHINGTON 

Tucked into the Cascade Mountains, Leavenworth is a snow-dusted storybook come to life. Our hotel was all-inclusive but elevated with roaring fireplaces, mountain views, and cozy interiors that made staying in just as tempting as exploring. We spent our days wandering through mossy forests and our nights wrapped in blankets, watching snow fall.
