Consider this your bucket list for when it is safe to travel again.
Few destinations can rival the allure of the Mediterranean, with its glittering deep-blue waters, sleepy, bougainvillea-draped villages and secluded beaches. From Barcelona to Dubrovnik, and St. Tropez to Mykonos, the Mediterranean coastline is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes and fascinating cities in the world. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any dreamier, here are nine brand-new luxury hotels to add your bucket list for when it’s safe to travel again: If you thought the Spanish island of Mallorca was all sunburned tourists and budget high-rises, think again. Spaniards in the know come here for the unspoiled Mallorcan countryside, with its striking mountain scenery, organic orange groves and vineyards, and picturesque fishing villages. Now, the team behind the ultra-chic Sant Francesc Hotel Singular in Palma is opening a brand-new rural hideaway in the medieval village of Santanyí. Set in a 17th-century manor house,32-room Can Ferrereta will feature one of the region’s most exciting collections of contemporary art. It will also be home to a Mediterranean restaurant serving local, seasonal produce, two bars, an 80-foot swimming pool and a spa with a hammam and an indoor pool. In case you hadn’t heard, the Balkan nation of Montenegro is fast becoming the must-visit destination on the Adriatic coast and, now, the highly anticipated One&Only Portonovi is about to make it even trendier. One&Only’s first resort in Europe reflects the architectural style of the old Venetian palaces of the region with its grand facades, majestic colonnades, signature red terracotta roofs, lush gardens, and array of indoor and outdoor pools. Meanwhile, the private sandy beach is rumored to rival the finest of the Mediterranean. The resort will feature the Chenot Espace wellness concept, as well as culinary experiences including refined Italian dishes with a focus on wellness from Giorgio Locatelli at Sabia, Asian fusion dining at Tapasake and farm-to-table fresh Montenegrin cuisine. Imagine waking up as the is sun rising over the Aegean Sea, slipping out of your cool, crisp sheets and going for a dip in your own, private heated pool. If that sounds like your kind of vacation then Kalesma is the hotel for you. Opening this spring, Kalesma Mykonos is set on a hilltop above Ornos Bay, overlooking the sea on two sides for sunsets and sunrises.
