Traveling to a remote location often comes along with a bit of a “roughing it” mentality, in which things like around-the-clock electricity, wifi, comfy beds, and spa treatments aren’t exactly readily available. But fear not, luxury mavens, we’ve got a whole slew of secluded hotels around the world that offer up the best of the best in accommodations, amenities and chic factor so you don’t have to rough it at all. Since the journey to the destination is half the fun of the adventure, come along as we explore the private islands of French Polynesia, the land reserves of South Africa, New Zealand’s secret homesteads, and some of the most luxurious properties around the world.   Reporter: Alyssa Brown | Venue: Fogo Island Inn

Winter gets a bad rap, often referred to as cruel or harsh. This is very confusing. Have these people never had a snowball fight or enjoyed hot cocoa? Have these naysayers never skied, snowboarded, or snowmobiled? Sure, the coldest season of the year blankets the earth in powder, but isn’t that annual alien landscape an exciting thing to explore, not to mention extraordinarily picturesque? Winter is about totally new experiences, and you need to get in on the fun. When it comes to places to stay and things to do in the snowy season, we’ve got you covered.

New Year’s Eve is one of our favorite holidays here at the Venue Report. Why? Because it’s celebrated by nearly every culture around the world. In Iceland, people burn big community bonfires to get rid of the past year’s bad juju. In South Africa, people parade through the streets in costume. In Newfoundland, people share poetry over a gunfire salute.  And in Miami, well, in Miami people party like rage machines. We’ve covered all your New Year’s celebration possibilities, from California glamping to luxury hotel stays in the Maldives, from African safari adventures to late-night parties in Los Angeles. If you can't make it this year, save these for your dream gatherings and getaways for next year! So, here’s to a brilliant 2016, filled with more opportunities to travel, gather and explore!

We stand on the precipice of 2014 looking back at all that this year has taught us, remembering that the toy of the year is something called a Doc McStuffins, we still haven't solved global warming and your Mom will most likely buy you another snow globe for Christmas. It's time to celebrate all that happened in 2014: the job promotions, the marriages, the break ups, the new babies and all those tears from both laughter and those necessary but ugly cries. Let's all raise a glass to the big, bad, word: Future. You don't have to do NYE alone, or surrounded by thousands in Times Square. So put your air miles to use and fly off with some friends. We've done the research to find you the best places and spaces for filling your glass with Bubbly and welcoming in your new bestie, the year 2015.

For the northern half of the hemisphere a certain chill is setting in, getting us all to bundle up and start thinking gifts. We’ve done you a favor and found the ideal spots to get your gang on the slopes or maybe to celebrate a successful year with your team. Perhaps you’d like to be the first to toss a little confetti this New Years Eve? We propose you embrace the season of cozy and bring your loved ones together for a little winter wandering where you can celebrate those past, present, and future milestones.

World wanderers and contemporary explorers get out your maps and check out the coordinates of Fogo Island, the precise location that is home to the dreamy Fogo Island Inn. This place is so magical that the hands on the clock will strike midnight 30 minutes before any other timepiece on the North American Continent. Celebration seekers, come here for NYE and you’ll be among the first in North America to ring in the New Year! This elemental place offers a precious opportunity to mark the arrival of the New Year from one of the four corners of the earth. On the rocky shore of Joe Batt’s Arm, Fogo Island, Fogo Island Inn is an unexpected place at the edge of the world. This venue is for intrepid, curious and high-comfort celebrators. The buildings' rugged minimalist architecture balances traditional influences with a contemporary sensibility, which architect Todd Saunders has made and built just for Fogo Island Inn. A cultural destination in its own right where visitors and locals meet, the Inn includes an art gallery, heritage library, cinema and rooftop sauna. Each of the 29 guest rooms is unique, every detail has been chosen with purpose, and most of it has been handcrafted by locals. Fogo Island Inn has supported and will continue to support the local communities of Fogo Island by using only materials found on the Island and neighbouring Change Islands. The goal of the Inn is to promote growth on the island and help the economy. HOW WILL MY GUESTS GET HERE?:  All points may be reached via national and international connections by scheduled commercial airlines and charter services. Air charters out of St. John’s reach Fogo Island within 40 minutes. The shortest charter flight from Gander airport is 30 minutes to the Fogo Island airport’s 3,000ft/914m asphalt runway. The airstrip on Fogo Island can easily accommodate a fixed-wing 12-passenger Beech 1900D aircraft. A helicopter-landing pad also located adjacent to the Inn. Alternatively, the Inn may be reached from Gander by way of an hour drive to Farewell’s ferry terminal and an additional picturesque 45 minute ferry ride to Fogo
