Lunch at MAMO

One of my favourite hotel experiences last year was staying at a traditional Japanese ryokan overlooking a natural onsen!

Take a gentle walk or long cycle along the glorious trails in Florence Court's forest park.

Discovered this little gem nestled next to our hotel. Besides this completely adorable outside area, this rustic-chic local spot features a simple, short menu with a refreshing modern take on Roman dining. Everything we had was delicious — an absolute must anytime you’re in Rome!

The eternal city has an extraordinary thermal bath tradition, and that tradition lives on at this luxury resort built on an ancient archaeological site. Achieve maximum rejuvenation at the Wellness Farm featuring Japanese baths, Turkish steams, emotional showers, bio-saunas, and hydrotherapy pools. FYI we live here now. 💆🏻‍♀️

The stylish Hotel Paseo is one of the newest kids on the block and the first of Greater Palm Springs' famously hip hotels to come to Palm Desert. It’s part of the Autograph Collection and is just steps away from the glamorous shops, galleries and restaurants of El Paseo, also known as The Rodeo Drive of the Desert.

We stayed at the Kimpton Goodland, a hip boutique surf hotel in Santa Barbara. It’s eclectic, beach aesthetic epitomises the California vibe and it includes fun touches like a record player in each room, plus a record concierge where you can hire your favourite tunes. The photo opportunities are endless - just take a look at the hotel's Instagram!
