Is there anything more exciting than visiting a place you’ve never been before? A place you’ve read about, heard about from friends, or seen on social media? Jeremy Jauncey, founder of Beautiful Destinations, takes us on a tour of stunning spots in these beautiful countries that cater to the very best in luxury travel
There is nothing more important in life than travel. It is a force for good in the world, which motivates and inspires people to get acquainted with new cultures, expand their horizons, and connect with others in a way no other experience can.
The right kind of travel (respecting the environment and the people you meet) can break down barriers of race, age, and religion, among others, making the world a better and more enjoyable place. It is with this mindset that I am excited to be joining the Tatler family in Asia to share my experiences with you and, I hope, spark a moment that will excite you to look outside your day to day and get out into the world and explore.
1. Jamaica
Arguably the coolest place in the world, it has a vibe so unique it transcends sport, music, culture, and food—some of this nation’s most famous exports. Long famed for its all-inclusive resorts, the island has seen an exciting revival amongst luxury travellers in the know. It is home to three stunning properties: Roundhill, Golden Eye, and Half Moon—icons with decades of history that have been rediscovered by jetsetters.
The real Jamaica, however, is to be found outside the hotels, sipping a Red Stripe at Dougies Bar, enjoying Caribbean gastropub food at The Summer House in the Liguanea Club, or floating down the Martha Brae on a river raft with Captain Murphy. For those looking for a beach destination rich in culture and people as warm as the climate itself, Jamaica is the place to be this year.
