Lillie’s Lineup:
Morro Chico, Patagonia, Argentina
Patagonia has been on my travel bucket list for as long as I can remember, but I am overwhelmed by the breadth of experiences available. This new lodge has the perfect mixture of immersion, education, exclusivity and luxury. The Morro Chico is the exact sort of unique experience I seek out.
This super cool five-bedroom exploration lodge in Patagonia allows visitors to deep dive into sustainable agriculture, and even obtain educational certifications, like Integrated Forest and Livestock Management. Spend time learning about food sourcing, energy and waste management, and even sheep management activities like herding or riding to visit the nearest flocks. Guests may also join the farming team for a night of local gaucho guitar music joining the Gallie family on their 27,000-hectare estate with 8,500 merino sheep and 400 Hereford & Aberdeen Angus cattle. Each stay is tailored to the guests’ goals, with a maximum of 10 guests at a time.
Faena New York
As a current resident of Chelsea, NYC, I personally cannot wait for the Faena to open! It is located across the street from my apartment and the brand is known for its dining, wellness, and art. I can’t wait to make use of the amazing spa and new restaurant opportunities, as well as having all of my out-of-town visitors just a couple doors down.
Hotel Chelsea’s reopening changed this neighborhood’s reputation as a place to be, and now Faena is coming in summer 2025. Known for high-style and a bit of drama, Faena features art-infused design overlooking the High Line. Expect whimsical touches in all the 120 rooms, a Tierra Santa Healing House spa, and buzzy nightlife scene as per usual in Chelsea.
Kotona Manor, Finland
Finland has also been on my travel bucket list for a very long time, and this new hotel is exactly what I have been looking for! I have always envisioned myself visiting Finland in the winter to see the Northern Lights, but after reading about all Kotona Manor this would be a perfect destination for any season! The activity opportunities are seemingly endless and the natural beauty is amazing during any month.
This new Finnish resort is a game-changing luxury lodge for the Nordics. The 11-room property is designed more like an African safari lodge. Each room is set in its own private building incorporating local wood and lake-facing windows. The circular main building represents the circle of life as well as the cycle of the year, which is at the core of Katona’s ethos and gateway to Finnish Lakeland, the largest lake area in Europe with over 55,000 of the world’s cleanest lakes. Guests are invited to explore—whether with snowshoes, cross-country skis, kick sleds, SUPs or hiking boots—depending on the season and culinary offerings are hyper-local, from nearby foraged mushrooms to fresh lake fish.
Kelsey’s Lineup:
Aman Rosa Alpina, Dolomites, Italy
The Aman Rosa Alpina in the Dolomites is where skiing, one of my favorite winter activities, meets ultimate luxury. It would be the perfect retreat with my husband or a group of friends who also love skiing. Ever since we stayed at an Aman on our honeymoon, I’ve become absolutely Aman-obsessed and can’t wait to experience one again!
The reopening resort fuses sleek Aman style with the soul of a family-run Italian resort under the close eye of the Pizzanini family, who have owned the hotel for six generations. The hotel, once known for its three-star Micheline mainstay, will offer a more relaxed gastronomic experience, including informal alfresco fondues. The wellness space has been extended to nearly double the original size and reconfigured to incorporate an outdoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi.
Rosewood Miyakojima, Okinawa, Japan
Japan is a top bucket list spot for me! This resort would be perfect to combine with stops in Kyoto and Hakone for the ultimate first-time Japan adventure, filled with culture, nature, and unforgettable experiences with my husband. Alternatively, it could be the perfect setting for a rejuvenating mother-daughter wellness trip, where we can unwind and recharge.
Located on a small island off the coast of Okinawa, the new Rosewood will be the first luxury island resort in Japan with just 55 private villas all with private pools and unobstructed sea views. It occupies a secluded peninsula surrounded by beaches, rock formations and offers such activities as snorkeling at Yabiji, the largest coral reef expanse in Japan; diving through underwater caverns teeming with marine life; and outstanding deep-sea fishing. It’s also more easily accessible than you might think—just a 20-minute drive from Miyako Airport or a 30-minute drive from Shimojishima Airport, which has direct flights from Hong Kong and major cities in Japan.
The Lake Estate on Winnisquam, New Hampshire, U.S
We go to Maine a TON in the summer, and this would be a perfect quick drive over for a few days of relaxation and adventure. From pickleball and paddle boarding to kayaking and cocktails on the dock, this resort has everything for an active yet rejuvenating getaway. Plus, with its luxurious spa, it’s the ideal spot to reset while enjoying all the activities I love!
In New Hampshire’s beautiful lakes region, The Lake Estate on Winnisquam is a 114-room luxury independent resort is modeled after a grand private estate and inspired by New Hampshire’s grand hotels of yesteryear. Situated on 36 acres with an extended private shoreline along Lake Winnisquam, the resort will also have to a 5,000-square-foot luxury spa.
