"There was so much beauty, so much more than enough for everyone, that it did appear to be a vain activity to try and make a corner in it." This quote captures the essence of Villa Beatrice, where beauty and luxury converge in a breathtaking setting.

These reefs are living, breathing snapshots of a watery world that you can peek into: refreshing oases where the noise of the land falls away; in its place, an intricate and utterly at-ease slice of life that you're lucky enough to witness.

"I think Marbella is a little misunderstood and is often viewed as simply an ostentatious resort destination. It is still an authentic coastal town, and it's one of few places on the Spanish peninsula where you can experience so much diversity and vibrancy year-round."

Victoria and Richard bought the Yankee in 2001, not long after losing their namesake brand in bankruptcy proceedings. The couple needed studio space (they eventually started another company in 2004), but, apparently, Manhattan was largely out of reach on their budget. And so they looked to the "fringes" of the island, as MacKenzie-Childs put it in an interview last year.

With this season, we wanted to capture the feeling of being in the Mediterranean-the light, the energy, the colors of the coast. Travel, for me, has always been about the memories you create along the way, the moments that stay with you long after the trip ends. When designing this collection, we focused on translating that experience into the product itself, creating pieces that connect the spirit of the destination with the journeys our customers take.

Located within the Maddalena Archipelago National Park, Rosa dei Budelli is one of the Mediterranean's most closely protected beaches. Its pale pink hue, created by microscopic organisms mixed with crushed coral, has made it famous, but access is tightly regulated. Visitors may arrive only by boat and must admire the shoreline from designated areas offshore.

If you've never docked a boat before, consider yourself lucky. There are plenty of popular TikTok channels devoted to shaming those who bring their craft back home clumsily or berth them with something less than finesse. Tricky crosswinds, unpredictable surf and even the jeers of passersby can make it a stressful experience at the best of times. Brunswick, which owns more than 50 water-borne brands like Sea Ray, Bayliner and Mercury Marine, has a solution.

There's something romantic about sailboats that still speaks to us in this hyper-connected age. The idea that you can harness nothing but wind and water to glide across the ocean feels almost magical. But here's the reality check: even the most old-school sailor needs power these days. Your GPS has to stay on, your radar needs juice, those navigation lights aren't optional, and let's be honest, nobody wants to lose their phone charge mid-voyage.

Some crew - Aesha, Josh, and especially Sandy - feel the pressure to end the season on a high note. Some others face their last two days of work with the jubilant indifference of a senior on the last day of school before summer break. The chicken nuggets debacle throws Cathy and Max off and affects their work. Uncharacteristically, Cathy is whiny; Max, characteristically whiny, decides that he can put himself down for a nap whenever the mood strikes him.

Despite decades of jokes and occasional bad publicity, cruise vacations are more popular than ever - just ask the tens of millions of Americans who take one every year and together represent more than half of all annual cruise travelers. Today's ships are massive, complex affairs backed by giant corporations and celebrity commercial sponsorships, all commanding big money. And while to the uninitiated, a ship may just seem like any other ship, experienced cruisers increasingly understand that unique offerings make all the difference.

Over New Year's Eve, St Barths hosted the largest-ever gathering of 100-metre-plus superyachts ever recorded at a single event - 13 in total - surpassing even Monaco, and had hundreds of vessels lining the island's iconic harbors. Jeff Bezos' $500 million Koru, WhatsApp founder Jan Koum's 100.75 metre Feadship named Moonrise, and Google co-founder Sergey Brin's Lürssen flagship were parked in the vicinity, with US tech billionaires contributing greatly to the unprecedented concentration of megayachts in the Caribbean's waters.

Whether you prefer river or ocean voyages, many of the best cruises for couples are all-inclusive, with unlimited food and alcohol, free Wi-Fi, plenty of onboard entertainment, and other perks. Some cruise lines even throw in unlimited shore excursions, free spa access, airfare, and private transfers-so there's no need to bring along extra cash. For a tranquil onboard vibe, couples can opt for an adults-only sailing or a ship with exclusive spaces for grown-ups.

This is something that was initiated and driven by our guests,

Both cruises and all-inclusive resorts promise stress-free vacations, thanks to upfront pricing and built-in entertainment. But despite similar perks, the travel experiences couldn't be more different. Choosing between a floating resort that whisks you between several ports and a property that promises everything in one place depends on personal travel style. Do you crave variety and a busy schedule, or prefer settling into a single destination? Do you thrive with structure, or prefer flexible days at your own pace?

My forearms are throbbing, my feet are cramping and my eyes burn from the salty sting of the Atlantic Ocean. And yet I'm oddly euphoric, high on the rush of flying above the water, propelled by the wind. Around me, wings launch 10, even 20 feet in the air, like fireworks lighting up the sky. My wing zips around beneath them, my board barely hovering two feet above the sea - nowhere near as high as I'd like to be, but there's still time.
