Mykonos has a new boutique hideaway worth knowing about. Deos, perched on a hill above the old harbour and less than ten minutes from town, brings a calmer, more architectural take to the island. The 60 rooms and suites are all about indoor–outdoor living, with private terraces, hot tubs or pools, and widescreen views across the Aegean. Days unfold between the infinity‑edge pool, a small spa with an indoor pool, and an all‑day restaurant serving modern Greek and Mediterranean dishes. As part of the family‑run Myconian Collection, it blends polished design with a sense of place – a quiet sanctuary within easy reach of Mykonos’s energy.

One travel trend we’re leaning into this year is high glamour – read our trend report here. And few places capture that sense of la dolce vita quite like Lake Como. There’s no shortage of glamorous stays, but Villa Lario offers something quieter and more intimate. Set on a private stretch of shoreline in Pognana Lario, the boutique hotel occupies an 18th-century villa with just a handful of suites, each with sweeping lake views and a contemporary, understated design. Guests can spend days drifting between the infinity pool carved into the cliffside, the hotel’s private jetty for boat trips, and long lunches on the terrace overlooking the water. With its discreet service, serene gardens and away-from-the-crowds setting, Villa Lario is one of Como’s most refined hideaways for a grown-up escape.
