rom sunny shores to winter wonderlands and the far-flung adventures between, here are some of our favorite resort destinations for holiday memories in the making. Regardless of your travel style, your Global Travel Collection advisor can offer exclusive benefits at these five properties when you book a festive getaway.
FOR THE ADVENTURER: GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS
Pikaia Lodge
Hidden in a secluded giant tortoise reserve on the edge of an extinct volcanic crater, Pikaia Lodge is a gateway to explore many of Earth’s treasures sustainably. This lodge is designed for the environmentally conscious adventurist who seeks close contact with the incredible wildlife, vast landscapes and stunning beauty of the Galápagos.
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY: COLORADO
Eleven Taylor River Lodge
The perfect setting for families and the friends who have become family, Taylor River Lodge is where blue skies, emerald pines and granite cliffs frame your adventures. Located on the outskirts of Crested Butte in Taylor Canyon, this riverside destination is the ultimate holiday cabin retreat, and fishing is at the heart of the experience.
FOR THE ROMANTIC: TURKS AND CAICOS
COMO Parrot Cay
At COMO Parrot Cay, you’ll relish in luxury at a beachfront house or villa with whitewash interiors and chic teak finishing. Each accommodation option has its own private pool and butler service — an ideal setting for holiday relaxation. If you’re seeking even more room to relax and play, private homes are available to rent.
FOR THE OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST: ICELAND
Eleven Deplar Farm
This Iceland lodge is in the Fljót Valley on the mountainous Troll Peninsula — a gateway to skiing, sea kayaking and stargazing. Here, you can view the spectacular Aurora Borealis due to the region’s notable lack of artificial light. Deplar Farm imitates its natural landscape with black timber cladding and a living roof.
FOR THE BEACH-GOER: INDONESIA
Nihi Sumba
Explorers say a visit to Nihi Sumba is not an escape from life, but the return to a life well-lived. Every detail of the rooms — crisp white bed linens on canopy beds, handmade chocolate in the mini bar, sweeping panoramic views of the Indian Ocean — will make you and your loved ones feel at home, yet completely transported for the holidays.
