VIK Chile is a fabulous property that I was so fortunate to experience recently! It’s an amazing spot to start or end a wonderful South America adventure. It’s an architectural dream sitting on 11,000 acres, nestled in Chile’s Millahue Valley.
The property boasts unprecedented architecture, design, art and décor as well as world-class wine offerings from it’s own vineyard, which is located right on property.
The hotel is approximately a 2-hour drive south of Santiago and has 22 suites.
Each suite is uniquely designed with one-of-a-kind artwork and furniture from around the world.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the rooms and throughout the property give guests panoramic views of the beautiful landscape, filled with rolling hills, vineyards and a picturesque lake.
The bathrooms in each suite are also uniquely designed with different colors, materials and themes.
Vik Chile is the perfect destination for those wanting to relax and unwind. The property has a holistic spa offering wine-infused treatments that were designed to renew physical and mental energy.
There is also a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the Millahue Valley as well as on-site gym.
Outdoor yoga sessions overlooking the lake are also available.
As a part of you stay, guests are invited to visit the on-site vineyard, Vina Vik for an afternoon of wine-tasting.
The wine-tasting is led by a skilled sommelier who will explain the unique tastes and complexities of their wines.
For those wanting to keep busy, there are plenty of activities including: hiking trails in the vineyards, horseback rides through the vines and mountain biking through the valley. These activities are very unique to the destination and I would recommend taking advantage of as many of them as possible.
The hotel’s restaurant, Mila Mila offers a superb dining experience marked by vibrant flavors and focusing on authentic South American cuisine, including traditional barbeque, fresh fish, seafood from the coast and locally grown produce, paired with VIK wines that have been bottled on-site.
VIK Chile is an amazing destination that I’d highly recommend. If you’d like to start planning your honeymoon or vacation to visit this amazing spot in Chile, please email me. Not only will you be VIP guests but you will receive a $100 spa credit, plus top priority for room upgrades.
I recently explored The Bahamas, a coral-based archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, located a short 50 miles off the coast of Florida. The Bahamas are comprised of over 700 breathtaking islands and cays, with the clearest turquoise water you can imagine!
When most people think of The Bahamas, the first thing that comes to mind is Nassau or one of the larger islands. But on this trip I was able to get off the beaten path and explore Eleuthera, a smaller and less developed island. Eleuthera is a unique destination that is laid-back, serene, and untouched with stunning beaches!
When visiting Eleuthera I highly recommend staying at The Cove It is perfectly located right on the beach surrounded by swaying palms and white sand coves. It is secluded, seductive and stylish, offering five-star impeccable service. Every luxury that you could want is at your fingertips!
The intimate, 57-room resort has a selection of stylish seaside cottages and villas, embraced by endless turquoise waters.
Each suite is decorated in a chic and modern style, with neutral tones and clean white lines complemented by luxury amenities like: air conditioning, enormous and comfortable beds, floor to ceiling sliding glass doors, ultra-modern furnishings, large flat screen TV’s, Wi-Fi and luxurious bathrooms.
Some suites even have their own plunge pool!
All of the villas feature amazing beachfront views that you can enjoy from the comfort and privacy of your bed or outdoor patio.
The property has a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the Caribbean Sea as well as private white sand beaches that are available only to hotel guests.
There is full beach service throughout the day with lounge chairs, towels and food & drinks and the staff are extremely friendly, exhibiting that warm hospitality that the Bahamian people are so well known for!
There is also a bevy of activities to keep you busy including: snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, biking, horseback riding, and scuba diving!
There is a fitness center and spa on property as well as a gourmet restaurant that serves excellent sushi. Their kitchen uses only sustainable produce and vegetables from their own gardens and locally sourced seafood.
Be sure to arrive in style and on your own schedule! Nothing is more Luxe than taking a private plane straight from Miami for the short 50-minute flight.
Once you’ve arrived, make sure to carve out time to explore every hidden gem of this beautiful island. The Cove offers Jeep rentals on property, so you can explore on your own! I suggest visiting The Glass Window Bridge, which offers amazing panoramic views of the rich blue Atlantic Ocean and the calm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The contrast between the two bodies of water is truly amazing.
After that, head over to the Queen’s Bath on the Atlantic Ocean. Here you will find natural pools that you can soak in with crystal clear water that has been naturally warmed by the sun.
Finally, make sure to visit the Blue Hole. This is one the most beautiful cenotes that I have ever seen and if you’re brave enough – leap in!
Eleuthera is a destination not to be missed! If you’d like to start planning your honeymoon or vacation to The Cove please email me. Not only will you be VIP guests but you will receive complimentary breakfast daily, a $100 hotel credit, plus top priority for room upgrades.

The property has a beautiful pool and large fire pits where you can unwind after a long day on the slopes or post hiking. They’ll even provide you with everything that you’d need to make s’mores!
There is also a chic Veuve Cliquot yurt where you can get your Apres Ski on! Make sure to stop by for a glass of bubbly and an Instagram pic! #CliquotInTheSnow!

When many couples think about their honeymoon, they love the idea of staying in an Overwater Bungalow! It’s become synonymous with romance, relaxation and the start of a new life journey. I have some fun ideas on gorgeous resorts that feature overwater bungalows. I’ve explored the best properties around the world and from my travels I’ve come up with this list of THE BEST Overwater Bungalows!
SONG SAA PRIVATE ISLAND
Cambodia
WHAT MAKES THIS PRIVATE ISLAND IN CAMBODIA SPECIAL & UNIQUE
It’s a romantic and secluded destination that combines well with many places in South East Asia – Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT
November to April which is their dry season.
HOW DO I GET THERE
Song Saa private island is located in Cambodia’s untouched Koh Rong Archipelago. To get there you’ll need to take an international flight into Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. From there, you’ll take a 45-minute local flight to the coastal city of Sihanoukville, and then you’ll catch a 45-minute speedboat to the resort.
WHY STAY AT SONG SAA
Song Saa is the nicest luxury option for an overwater bungalow in South East Asia. The property has gourmet cuisine prepared by excellent chefs, private pools, unique cultural experiences and lots of activities for adventurous couples. An added bonus is that the property is ecofriendly and gives back to its local community through The Song Saa Foundation.
INSIDER TIP
Have the concierge setup a picnic on a private island for you. It such a unique and romantic experience! Also make sure to go on a bioluminescence swim at night to see the water light up! It is one of the few places in the world that you can see this.

FOUR SEASONS BORA BORA
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
WHAT MAKES BORA BORA SPECIAL & UNIQUE
Bora Bora is an exotic destination that is perfect for honeymooners looking for the overwater bungalow experience but not wanting to travel too far. It is an easy destination to get to from the West Coast and it’s a Zika free destination that is very easy to travel within. The scenery and views of Mount Otemanu are unbeatable.
BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT
May through October has the least amount of rain, but it’s still nice to visit during other months of the year.
HOW DO I GET THERE
It’s a nonstop 8-hour flight from LAX to Papeete, Tahiti. From there you’ll take an additional 1-hour flight to Bora Bora. Upon arrival a speedboat will whisk you away to paradise.
WHY STAY AT FOUR SEASONS BORA BORA
It’s a beautiful and romantic property with the best of everything. The villas are gorgeous – some even have their own private plunge pools. The water is crystal clear and you can dive-in directly from your villa’s deck. The food is delicious, there is a wide assortment of water activities, and most importantly they offer unparalleled service that is by far the best you will find anywhere in Bora Bora.
INSIDER TIP
Book a Mountain View overwater bungalow that is farther down on the pontoon. These bungalows have the most privacy, the best views of Mount Otemanu and they are far enough out that you can jump right off your deck into the water.
Also, have the concierge setup a private island dinner for you. You’ll take a short boat ride to get to the island, that you’ll have all to yourself because they only host one couple per night.

GILI LANKANFUSHI
The Maldives
WHAT MAKES THE MALDIVES SPECIAL & UNIQUE
The Maldives are a very unique and exotic destination, located between the Arabian and Laccadive seas. The Maldives are about as isolated as you can get and the perfect destination if you really want to get off the grid. The water is the clearest that you’ll find anywhere in the world – you can literally see fish swimming around your villas. It is considered one the best destinations for snorkeling and scuba diving and it’s a destination that pairs well with Thailand, Oman, Sri Lanka, and Dubai.
BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT
December to April has the least amount of rain, but it’s still really nice other months of the year.
HOW DO I GET THERE
To get to the Maldives you’ll need to take an international flight into Malé. You can fly with major airlines like Emirates. Then you will take a speedboat to Gili Lankanfushi.
WHY STAY AT GILI LANKANFUSHI
Gili Lankanfushi has a great sense of place and getting there from Malé is easy! It’s a short 15-minute speedboat ride whereas many other properties require a long boat ride and/or a seaplane transfer. Once you arrive, you’ll embrace the “No News, No Shoes” barefoot culture that promotes complete relaxation.
The property has huge spacious villas that are rustic but luxurious with overwater hammocks. There is an endless assortment of water activities for the more active couples. The food is delicious with a unique Indian influence and during the entirety of your stay you’ll have a private butler whose sole job is to make sure that you are well taken care of.
INSIDER TIP
My favorite villas are the Crusoe Residences. They are stand alone villas with their own hammocks, only reachable by boat.
Also, be sure to carve out time for a massage or a facial at the overwater spa. They offer unique treatments and the treatment rooms have glass bottoms, so you can watch the sealife while you enjoy your massage.
SPECIAL VIP PERKS YOU’LL RECEIVE WHEN BOOKING WITH EVER AFTER HONEYMOONS
As guests of Ever After Honeymoons you’ll receive daily buffet breakfast, a 30-minute spa treatment for two, a $100 Food & Beverage Credit, and top priority for room upgrades.
