WORDS Marilise de Buck

As the gloobles team reflected on last year, we could not help but ponder all the best places we had the pleasure of visiting. As a dynamic team from all over the world we like to pride ourselves on knowing a thing or two about the best places to dine, sleep, boogie and more. 

We pored over our favourites, compiled our lists and then asked you guys to help us determine the ultimate winners of the 2024 gloobles awards. Curious about our winners? Read all about them here. 

get hungry

Vivant 2, Paris

Vivant 2
Vivant 2

Selected by not just one, but two members of our team, Vivant 2 was an obvious winner for getting hungry. This lovely restaurant has good food and an exquisite wine list. It has been popular since the day it opened, and we're certain it's going to be so for a long time to come.

get sleepy

Somalisa Camp, Zimbabwe

Somalisa Camp, Zimbabwe
scintilla

I mean… look at that picture. Somalisa Camp is what dreams are made of. This beautiful lodge in Hwange National Park is known for its huge population of elephants. It's the perfect spot for adventurous stay in Zimbabwe.

Vespa Ride along the Amalfi Coast

Vespa Ride along the Amalfi Coast
Kasia Rachuba

Is there anything dreamier than Vespa-ing alongside the Amalfi Coast? We think not. Take in beautiful views of the sea while your hair whips in the wind and the sun warms your face.

get shopping

Clic, NYC

Clic, NYC

Whether you are looking to buy some knick-knacks for your new place, need to find the perfect gift or just want to window shop, Clic is the place to be. This beautiful shop is always stocked with the best pieces, and the art on the walls is perpetually inspiring. 

get coffee

Weltons Tiny Bakeshop, Charleston

Weltons Tiny Bakeshop, Charleston
Weltons Tiny Bakeshop

An ideal day spent in Charleston must include a stop at Welton’s Tiny Bakeshop. This small shop houses some of the best coffee and pastries we have ever tried, an obvious winner if ever there were one. If you are looking for a bottle of wine or some gourmet nibbles for a picnic, pop by—picnic basket in tow.

get drinks

Gem, NYC

Gem

A real gem of a place (see what we did there?), this cosy wine bar is perfect wine lovers. If you're lucky, you may catch one of owner Flynn McGarry's pop-up interiors sales.

get groovy

LouLou's London

LouLou's London
@kate.fullman

Our loyal poll-takers were tied between two iconic get groovy places: LouLou’s in London and La Gare Le Gore in Paris. In our hearts, there is space for two, especially since they are so different. LouLou's is a private member's club known for its swanky vibe, and Le Gare - Le Gore starts as a jazz bar turns into a cool techno spot. 

get beautiful

Spa Clēmēns, Paris

Spa Clēmēns, Paris
@seoulmonamour

We dream of this aquatic spa in the heart of Paris. Here, you can experience relaxation on a new level with various treatments or a dip in the pool. Breathe in, breathe out, aaaaaaand relax.

get cultured

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen

Jeremy Jachym
