The moment we've all been waiting for is finally (almost) here.

Summer travel, that is. ⛱👒🌴👙

Where are you off to this summer? Those flights we booked months ago are creeping up on the calendar and it’s time to prep, shop, and pack. Whether it’s Paris or Portfino, or a getaway to Greece for some R&R and sunshine, here’s a mega dose of inspo for early summer travel, occasions—including what to wear, where to to stay, and what to eat in our favorite European destinations. Shall we?

Portofino

With less than 500 full-time residents, Portofino is a true seaside village that begs you to take it easy. No itinerary here—just slow afternoons spent strolling its little streets, indulging in a treat at Gelateria Bar, and lounging poolside at the beloved Splendido (when drinking in storybook views under a big umbrella is your trip’s sole purpose, a luxury stay just makes sense).

Where to stay in Portofino

Tucked into the hillside, Belmond Hotel Splendido is the #1 hotel in Portofino, known for luxury amenities, top notch food and drink, a renowned spa, and of course, the best views you can find. Its sister, Splendido Mare, is a charming, slightly more modern and slightly more affordable option, with a more boutique-y feel but no less perks. At either spot, take advantage of their offer for an hour boat tour exploring the Riviera.
