Casa Angelina is one of our favorite boutique gems on the Amalfi Coast. It’s away from the crowds and feels like your own oasis, perched on an idyllic cliff in the authentic village of Praiano. This year, they’ve announced their longest season yet, extending from March 28 through November 4. Plus, the hotel’s gourmet restaurant, Un Piano Nel Cielo, recently received a coveted Michelin Star. If that weren’t reason enough to pack your bags, the brand-new Suite Vermarine will be open for business March 28. It’s a sprawling retreat designed by the ultra-talented Paola Lenti, who drew inspiration from Casa Angelina’s lush natural surroundings — expect soothing gem tones, the most prominent being a pale green inspired by prasiolite, or green quartz.

Inside, you’ll find gourmet restaurants helmed by a masterfully curated assortment of Michelin-Starred chefs, as well as a three-story health and wellbeing club brought to you by Clinique La Prairie.

Here, you can take advantage of expert one-on-one training on the hotel’s Fitness Lab, an entire floor dedicated to physical optimization.

The intimate, gorgeous Menorca Experimental Hotel, located within a 19th-century finca on a sprawling paradisiacal stretch of land, is slated to reopen March 27. Here is where one can truly escape, where travelers can enjoy nourishing, locally sourced cuisine, practice yoga and meditation, relax in the hammam and sauna, receive tailored spa treatments, connect with local producers, enlist a personal trainer and so much more. It’s a veritable retreat for the body, mind and spirit.
New opening alert: Six Senses La Sagesse
In May, Six Senses will open its first Caribbean resort, Six Senses La Sagesse, in Grenada. The breezy, chic rooms and villas were built using sustainable and repurposed materials, and the resort has optimized its energy use and waste management systems for sustainability. The carefully sourced, homemade food champions Caribbean and South American flavors. (And don’t miss the complimentary shaved ice or fresh ice cream at the delightful Scoop Café.) But if you must do one thing, head to the spa. The two-story marvel is equipped with one of the best hotel gyms we’ve seen, plus a dreamy yoga pavilion, a hammam, a panoramic sauna and hot and cold plunge pools.
