A Season of New Beginnings—Where Will Spring Take You?
Japan Cherry Blossoms
Spring has always been a season that speaks to me—it's a time of possibility, where nature reminds us that fresh starts are always within reach. As the world awakens from winter’s slumber, the landscapes shift, colors emerge, and new opportunities take shape. Travel, to me, mirrors this awakening. It’s a chance to step outside, embrace fresh air, and welcome new inspiration.
Whether it’s the cherry blossoms in Japan, the golden dunes of Morocco bathed in the glow of sunrise, or the vibrant blooms of the Berkshires and Hudson Valley, Spring is an invitation to embrace new beginnings.
This season, I want to share some of my favorite journeys that spark creativity, renewal, and a sense of wonder.
Morocco
🌸 Awaken in the World’s Full Bloom Destinations
Cherry Blossoms in Japan: Few things are as breathtaking as sakura season, where petals drift through the air like confetti. One of my favorite ways to experience this is through the age old custom of Hanami “flower watching” for a sakura-viewing picnic with a local guide for a period of reflection and appreciation.
The Amalfi Coast in Bloom: Spring is my favorite time to visit before the summer crowds arrive. Stay in a private villa draped in vibrant wisteria, with sea views and the scent of lemon groves all around.
Moroccan Desert Escape: There’s nothing quite like watching the sun rise over the golden dunes of the Sahara. In early spring, if the winter rains have been generous, the desert bursts into life with delicate wildflowers—desert lilies, poppies, and wild irises—creating a stunning contrast against the golden sands.
Costa Rica
🌿 Fresh Perspectives: Wellness & Outdoor Rejuvenation
Forest Bathing in the Swiss Alps: Imagine stepping into the crisp Alpine air as spring breathes new life into the mountains, with wildflowers beginning to emerge along the forested trails. A guided forest therapy walk followed by a spa treatment at a mountainside retreat makes for the ultimate rejuvenating experience.
Costa Rica’s Wellness Retreats: Spring in Costa Rica is a time of lush greenery, warm breezes, and rejuvenation. Experience a luxury eco-retreat where yoga, meditation, and holistic healing blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of the rainforest. Enjoy spa treatments with volcanic minerals, guided waterfall hikes, and organic dining with ingredients sourced from the surrounding jungle.
Aegean Awakening at Amanzoe & Amanruya: I love recommending these two resorts as they reopen for the season—think panoramic sea views, minimalist luxury, and a connection to nature that’s truly grounding.
Amalfi Coast, Itlay
🏛 Cultural & Creative Exploration: A New Season of Inspiration
Charleston’s Springtime Charm: With cobblestone streets lined in blooming azaleas and dogwoods, Charleston is perfect for history lovers and food enthusiasts seeking a vibrant yet laid-back escape.
Exclusive Festival Access: Spring brings some of the most enchanting celebrations, from Seville’s Feria de Abril, a dazzling week-long celebration of Andalusian culture featuring flamenco dancing, horse parades, and lively casetas (private party tents), to England’s famed Chelsea Flower Show, where the world's top garden designers unveil their breathtaking floral displays. With the right planning, I can arrange VIP access that brings you into the heart of these unforgettable traditions.
Michelin-Starred Spring Menus: Food is such a reflection of place and season. Spring’s fresh flavors shine brightest in destinations like Quebec’s fine-dining scene and the Amalfi Coast’s lemon-scented trattorias. Let’s plan a journey around exclusive tastings and private chef encounters.
Berkshires
💼 Corporate Retreats & Executive Wellness: Reignite Creativity & Innovation
Strategic Retreats in Tuscany: Spring is the perfect time for leadership teams to step away and refocus. Imagine a private Tuscan estate where executives can strategize amid rolling vineyards, with curated wellness experiences and exclusive culinary events.
Nordic Leadership Retreats in Scandinavia: Spring in Scandinavia is a time of renewal, where long winter nights give way to endless daylight. Imagine a corporate retreat in Norway or Sweden, where executives can recharge in luxurious lodges surrounded by fjords and forests. Activities like guided mindfulness hikes, Viking-inspired leadership workshops, and Nordic spa experiences create the perfect balance of adventure and restoration.
Executive Wellness in the Berkshires & Hudson Valley: Balance business with well-being through customized corporate wellness retreats. Think hiking, organic farm-to-table dining, and world-class spas set against the backdrop of budding trees and tranquil mountain landscapes. Spring in the Northeast is a time of renewal, with lush forests, serene lakes, and crisp fresh air.
