From the cinematic cliffs of Positano to the magnetic beach clubs of Mykonos, these five luxury European hotels offer the perfect setting for a sophisticated escape with friends. Think restorative spa days, long Mediterranean lunches, private pools and evenings that continue well beyond sunset. Planning a group holiday can require an unexpected amount of diplomacy.

Some…

Across the Seto Inland Sea, Hokkaido’s mountains and Japan’s forested countryside, a different style of high-end travel is emerging. It is less concerned with visible extravagance and more closely connected to privacy, architecture, seasonal food and a highly considered sense of place. These destinations reveal a Japan where…
