Tucked between the reddish rugged cliffs just outside Buggerru, Cala Domestica is a proper hidden gem. Beyond the main cove, a narrow path carved into the rock leads to a smaller, more secluded beach – quieter, more intimate, and often nearly empty.

A long, unspoiled stretch of nearly three kilometres, Scivu is framed by low dunes and Mediterranean scrub and deep emerald green waters. Wild and wonderfully open, it remains one of the most pristine beaches along Sardinia’s southwest coast.

This 220,000-work collection captures the essence of British society. There is a vibrant painting of Zadie Smith by Toyin Ojih Odutola as well as oils of Shakespeare and Lord Byron, and the annual Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait exhibition is always a joy. For anyone passing, it’s worth stopping just to look at the bronze doors scribbled with the faces of 45 women by Tracey Emin.

There is no end to the things we love about NOMAD. From its chic and modern rooftop bar, to the menu that incorporates modern international influences into traditional Moroccan cuisine, to the flourless orange cake served as dessert.

For a big, comforting bowl of ramen, treat yourself to a little Fou Fow. We like to perch on one of the stools in the window and watch the world go by as we slurp.

This sweet little brown café is here to prove that the Brits don’t have a monopoly on the intimate gastropub. Though this is a traditional drinking establishment that’s perfect for slinging back a few beers, they are also pumping out fresh, delicious dishes to accompany one of their unexpectedly good bottles of natural wine. If you’re a carnivore, be sure to order the bone marrow. We implore you.

If you’ve been in any major city in the past five or ten years, then you have certainly heard of Soho House. The Amsterdam outpost of this hip, international chain is just as cool & thoughtfully decorated as the rest. The rooms are (relatively) reasonably priced, & there’s a gym, movie theatre & rooftop pool to make your stay all that much more exciting.
