Planning a Trip to These Places in 2022
French Riviera
The French Riviera has been known for a long time as a place where stylish people from all over the world go to relax. With the much-anticipated opening of The Maybourne Riviera, the Côte d’Azur is likely to attract tourists from all over the world who want to see the new gem for themselves. The Maybourne Riviera is perfectly located on a peninsula with sweeping views of the coast. The hotel will be Maybourne Hotel Group’s first venture into France. It will have the same creative and inspiring vibe as Claridge’s, The Connaught, and The Berkeley, which are its sister hotels. The beautiful hotel will have 69 rooms and suites, all of which will have private terraces with stunning views of the sea. Interior design will show how the hotel worked with some of the most famous designers. Andre Fu, Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, Marcelo Joulia, Pierre Yovanovitch, Pascal Goujon, and Rigby & Rigby, each with their own style, as well as the Maybourne in-house design team led by Michelle Wu, all created one-of-a-kind spaces. The Maybourne Riviera will also be a great place to eat, with a number of restaurants run by two of the best chefs and restaurateurs in the world: the legendary Mauro Colagreco of Mirazur and the world-famous Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who will open his first restaurant in the South of France. Hiro Sato, a sushi chef from Japan, will also bring his world-class skills to the property.
Anguilla
Anguilla is a beautiful island in the eastern Caribbean with white sand beaches and clear blue water. At the end of this year, a new, groundbreaking resort will open on the island, making it one of the most popular places to visit in 2022 and beyond. Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club will change the future of the island by giving it a soulful sense of place that honours Anguilla’s rich culture, its natural beauty, and the traditions and personalities that make the island so special. Aurora Anguilla will make it easier than ever to get to the island. When it opens, the resort will have access to private planes and air lift from key U.S. markets. Other unique features will include restaurants run by the famous Chef Abram Bissell, who used to work at Eleven Madison Park and The Modern, a championship golf course with 18 holes designed by Greg Norman, and more. Aurora Anguilla will bring a whole new idea of paradise to the property and the island, which is a beautiful jewel in the Caribbean. The Aurora Anguilla will make sure that every part of the trip is a celebration of the culture that makes Anguilla such a popular destination.
Budapest
Budapest has a long history that goes back to the Roman Empire. It is a busy city with a wide range of architectural styles that are just waiting to be discovered. The restoration of the famous Matild Palace, a UNESCO world heritage site, will be finished in 2022. The palace was built during the Belle Epoque by the famous Hungarian architects Kálmán Giergl and Flóris Korb, and Her Imperial and Royal Highness Maria Klotild of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha wanted it to be the centre of city life. Matild Palace has been turned into a Luxury Collection hotel by the award-winning MKV Design. It has palatial high ceilings, 130 elegantly decorated rooms, and great views of the Danube River. Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Budapest, is also home to the city’s first Spago by Wolfgang Puck. With the opening of Matild Café & Cabaret, one of Budapest’s oldest cafés will be brought back to life. Its sister palace, Klotild Palace, will also get a second chance when The St. Regis Budapest opens there in late 2022 or early 2023. Now is a great time to visit Budapest, whether it’s for the Budapest Spring Festival or the Sziget Festival in the summer.
Jose Ignacio, Uruguay
Uruguay is getting ready for an exciting year because in November, for the first time since March 2020, the country will open its borders again. The bohemian fishing village of José Ignacio, which is often called “where St. Tropez meets Marlborough Country,” has everything you could want from a vacation: beautiful beaches, luxurious accommodations, unforgettable food experiences, and a lively local culture. The most discerning travellers from all over the world have been coming to Vik Retreats for a long time to enjoy an authentic experience that gives them a unique look into Uruguay. The Estancia Vik, Playa Vik, and Bahia Vik resorts are all different, but they all work together to give guests an unbeatable vacation. The properties have been very busy since The Shack Yoga and Wellness at Bahia Vik opened and grew. Isabella Channing, the owner of The Shack Yoga in José Ignacio, a popular studio that both locals and tourists love, worked with Vik Retreats to come up with a new wellness sanctuary and spa experience. Also, Francis Mallmann, a well-known fire master, came back to Jose Ignacio in December 2021 to open Chiringuito Francis Mallmann, an open-flame restaurant just down the beach from Bahia Vik.
Italy
Italy is one of the most interesting places to visit in Europe in 2022, and people can’t stop talking about it. No matter what time of year it is or how you like to spend your vacation, Italy has a place for you. Visitors to Venice can have a once-in-a-lifetime experience by wandering from palace to piazza, visiting art museums, or sipping an Aperol spritz along the canal. The Gritti Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, has a historic look, and The St. Regis Venice, which opened at the end of 2019, has a classy feel. In the coming year, you should also go to the Eternal City. The famous St. Regis Rome is right in the middle of Rome, so it’s a great place to start when going to famous places like the Colosseum or the Trevi Fountain. Visitors to Milan can’t miss Vik Retreat’s first city retreat, Galleria Vik Milano, which opened in late 2019. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of Italy’s most famous landmarks, is the perfect place for the stunningly beautiful Galleria Vik Milano, which has mesmerising views of the Galleria and its famous bull. The 59th Venice Biennale, which will be held in Venice from April 23 to November 27, 2022, and the Salone del Mobile, which will be held in Milan from April 13 to 18, 2022, are two important art and design events in Italy.
Los Angeles
Two famous people from all over the world recently made their first appearances in Los Angeles. This is a very exciting time for the city and is sure to bring tourists from all over the world in the coming year. Damian, the latest venture and first Los Angeles project from Chef Enrique Olvera, Santiago Perez, and their talented team, who are behind Cosme & ATLA in New York, Pujol in Mexico City, and more, has quickly become one of the most popular places to make a reservation. The dishes, which are made by Chef Jess “Chuy” Cervantes, are based on Mexican culture and highlight the best of Californian produce and seasonal ingredients. The beverage programme, which is run by Yana Volfson, puts a lot of emphasis on agave. They serve small-batch agave drinks made by artisans from all over Mexico, as well as a carefully chosen wine list that includes their own label, Dramian. Damian’s backdoor taqueria, Ditroit, serves different takes on traditional Mexican street food made with the freshest ingredients from California. The Maybourne Hotel Group, which is known all over the world, also got into the market with The Maybourne Beverly Hills. When the service and style that Maybourne is known for are perfectly matched with the buzz of Beverly Hills, guests can expect creative food and modern comfort in a landmark location.
