1. La Datcha

Located along a quiet strip of golden-sand beach in the gated community of Pedregal, La Datcha villa offers 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. The estate features the largest villa pool in all of Los Cabos; the salt-water-based aquatic space stretches across the entirety of the 20,000-square-foot home and is heated year-round. Both the north and south sides of the pool feature a heated Jacuzzi slightly submerged in the water. Other highlights of the pool include a swim-around dining area, underwater mood lighting, a sound system and a fire feature for the cooler evenings. The villa can accommodate up to 20 guests, with rates starting at $35,000 per night.

Between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas lies the luxury gated community of Palmilla. Privacy is paramount at the 10,000-square-foot vacation villa Brisas del Mar. The six-bedroom and -bath rental features three pools and seven hot tubs. If you feel a little wrinkly from the pool, think about drying off at one of the villa’s 11 fire pits.

Available for up to 22 guests, rates start at $3,450 per night.

 

4. Casa Ocho

With sleek modern lines, Casa Ocho wouldn’t be out of place in Malibu or Miami, exuding Hollywood sexiness and beautiful architectural lines.

Seek Serenity on Lesser-Known Greek Isles

I was handed a lantern as I stepped out of the taxi to meet up with some new friends who had invited me to a local harvest celebration high in the hills of the island of Samos. My unfortunate shoe choice (a pair of wedged heels) acted as an obvious reminder I was new on the island. Everyone in the group trudged up the uneven, rocky terrain with ease as I struggled to get my footing and grasp how I could have so wrongly interpreted “drinks on the terrace” to mean a sea-level abode.

Embrace the Aloha Spirit on a Cruise to Hawai‘i

To say the Islands of Hawai‘i have long attracted travelers is an understatement. Fifteen hundred years ago, guided only by the stars, Polynesians crossed the Pacific Ocean and first set foot on the islands. Since then, European explorers, missionaries and businessmen discovered the islands in the late 1700s into the 1800s, each arriving with their own agendas. Tourism in Hawai‘i as we know it today began in the 1860s when Kīlauea, an active volcano on the Island of Hawai‘i, was considered a top destination for adventure travelers of the time.

Set Off on a Tour of Extraordinary Mechanical Clocks Around the World

It’s approaching 3 o’clock in the afternoon in Bern. Jutting slightly into view at the end of the uneven stone street in the Swiss city’s historic heart stands a medieval tower adorned with the famous 15th-century “time bell,” Zytglogge. A small gathering forms at the tower’s base as the clock prepares to announce the hour — an event heralded by the crowing of a golden rooster, music and a dance of mechanical figures that include an assortment of jolly bears.
