You’re officially invited to Holiday: VR Summer Club☀️🦢. This edition of our Holiday collection is our ode to nostalgic summer holidays and the rituals that make them so easy to romanticize years later: family vacations marked by overpacked suitcases and a lobby full of anticipation, cars tracing miles of coastline, rows of floppy hats claiming striped pool chairs, and those obligatory last-night dinners that somehow become a very late check-out. Summer is the season of bell carts at arrival, SPF on the counter, and another reason to be outside with your favorite people. Longer evenings, warmer weather, and everyone’s renewed willingness to leave the house make gathering feel less like logistics and more like spontaneity. If you’re anything like us, by March you’ve already drafted a detailed itinerary and sent it out to friends and family: a girls’ trip in June, a destination wedding in July, the inevitable birthday dinners, a weekend booked simply because the calendar allows it, and “pool party” written in just about every open slot. Consider this your summer guidebook for celebrating well, traveling beautifully, and making the most of every invitation on the calendar. Inside, you’ll find resorts for group getaways on cinematic rail routes, girls’ trip favorites, rooftop restaurants pouring collegiate cocktails and serving caviar in lunchboxes, destiantion-weddings in the French Riviera, terraces built for dinners at sunset, and hotels with enough momentum to host an entire weekend. Gather your luggage tags and ring up your crew. These are the venues, scenes, and summer plans that deserve a place on your calendar.

When you think of a tropical getaway with your friends or loved ones, what comes to mind? Hawaii? Cabo? Miami? Maybe all of the above? While Miami is a go-to choice for many, it’s not the only Floridian city that deserves a spot on your travel list. Located about an hour north of Miami lies an idyllic oceanfront town – Palm Beach. Of course, you’ll need a place to stay so naturally, we found the perfect resort that checks all the tropical vacation boxes for families and friends alike. Come along as we explore all of the reasons Eau Resort & Spa is your next group getaway’s home base.

Home is where the heart is, but who wouldn’t want to tie the knot in paradise? As the seasons change and your hometown venues prepare for cooler weather, there’s only one thing to do for the couple on the hunt for the eternal summer: plan a destination wedding. While much of coastal Europe is closed for the season, the rest of the globe delivers with dreamy venues tucked in tropical oases, sprawling savanna landscapes and shimmering white sand beaches.  From the US and Central America to Africa and beyond, these 24 bucket-list venues are the key to locking down your dream destination wedding venue.
