Bermuda rewards the active traveller: surfing, sailing, golf and tennis but there’s equal appeal in simply claiming a lounger and doing absolutely nothing. The island had its heyday in the ‘80s - when it was the destination for understated, old-world luxury – and while a handful of beautifully designed modern restaurants have emerged, much of Bermuda’s charm still lies in its unhurried approach to change. While the weather can be unpredictable, you’ll be hard-pressed to find bluer waters, with seas teeming with parrot fish, stingrays and turtles that you can snorkel alongside from the shore. The pink sandy beaches here remain largely unspoiled and under-touristed.
This big, beautiful state is reason enough to hit the West Coast when you're in the US. Rent a car and cruise along the coast to see it in all its glory.
No other state in America feels quite so much like its own country. The food is serious, the music is everywhere and the pace is gloriously unhurried. New Orleans sets the tone with brass bands and beignets, but the bayous and Cajun towns of the interior are equally worth your time. Order the gumbo. Follow a second line parade. Stay up too late.
It is called the Land of Enchantment for a reason. New Mexico is truly a special place; ancient cultures, vibrant arts and stunning landscapes come together here. Discover the magic for yourself in places like Santa Fe and Taos.
New Orleans operates on its own logic and always has. The French Quarter is louder than you expect and smaller than it looks on a map; Frenchmen Street on a Tuesday night has more live music per square metre than most cities manage on a Saturday; and the food, from a bowl of gumbo at a counter to a white-tablecloth Creole dinner in the Garden District, is unlike anything else in America. The city has a complicated, layered history that it does not shy away from, and a capacity for joy that is entirely its own. Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready for a late night.
