When planning our two-day road trip in Provence, my parents and I wanted to stay somewhere special. Somewhere we could relax and indulge midway through our action-packed itinerary. Baumanière, a luxury hotel at the foot of the hilltop village of Les Baux, was just what we had in mind.
For the second year running, my parents and I took a side trip from our late-summer stay in Cannes. We spent two glorious days in Provence, discovering Roman sites and Van Gogh's inspiration in Arles and Saint-Rémy and visiting picture-postcard Provençal villages like Les Baux, Gordes and Roussillon.
Last year, I stayed in some incredible hotels: The Fortress Resort & Spa near Galle in Sri Lanka was particularly dreamy. As I plan my travels for 2025, I've been reminiscing about some of the other beautiful places I've stayed in over the years. I've put together this selection of my most unique and memorable stays around the world. I hope it helps inspire your own holiday plans!
