Red Carnation Hotels

The family-owned Red Carnation hotel collection knows a thing or two about warm hospitality. (Seriously, their staff is amazing.) Prepare to be spoiled and pampered at any one of their sophisticated hotels. There are 18 in total, most of which are in the UK, but you'll also find them in South Africa, Botswana, Switzerland and Ireland. Even better, their close relationships with local communities allow for some pretty special experiences, from enjoying a custom multi-course meal crafted from ingredients you hand-selected at the market that morning (a favorite experience at The Rubens, in London) to exploring the sacred rock art near Bushman's Kloof Wilderness Reserve in South Africa. And when you book Red Carnation with us, you'll unlock VIP traveler perks.

Château Voltaire & Le Manoir de Lorient

Paris is always a good idea, so we've heard, and if you're wondering where to stay, Château Voltaire is the obvious choice. Its location is prime — the Louvre and the Jardin des Tuileries are a stone's throw away — but it's tucked away on a charming side street, so it still feels private and ultra-special. Thirty-two unique, delightful rooms occupy five floors, and the handsome lobby, chic brasserie and sexy bar make for lively rendezvous spots beloved by locals and travelers alike.
But if you're looking for something a bit more tropical, Le Manoir de Lorient, also from the Château Voltaire team, is the way to go. This sprawling seven-bedroom St. Barth's residence is the ideal getaway for a family vacation or friends' trip. A stylishly restored 18th-century manor makes up the main house, and additional bungalows serve as some of the estate's breezy bedrooms. Wander around the tropical garden (and maybe spot a tortoise or two) before lounging by the swimming pool, located on a sleek teak deck. When you book either property with Fora, you'll receive exclusive perks.

Cali Mykonos

After visiting this Aegean oasis on our Greece FAM trip in May, we immediately fell in love. Cali Mykonos upends any preconceived ideas you may have had about the island — like that it's party-party-party all the time, for instance. Instead, it's a veritable retreat, exclusive and perfectly located so that you can escape the party vibe of the island, but still head out for a night on the town if you'd like. The beauty is you get to choose. But be warned: it will be difficult to leave the resort. Here, the decor draws inspiration from its stunning surroundings. Sustainably sourced materials — marble, stone, wood — blur the line between the indoors and outdoors, and natural springs supply the resort with fresh, crisp water. Take a dive in the sparkling seawater-filled pool, indulge in nourishing farm-to-table cuisine and prepare to leave with an entirely new conception of Mykonos. And thanks to Fora's partnership with Cali Mykonos, you will receive allll the travel bennies when you book with us.
