Famed for its historic harbour, medieval towers, and vaulted limestone arcades, La Rochelle has always been a reliable choice for a seaside getaway. Yet, there’s a fresh energy here that’s changing the narrative. Thanks to a thriving local university and an influx of talent from Paris and beyond, the city has levelled up, layering its rich naval history with a modern, creative buzz.

Unlike its boisterous Balearic sister Mallorca or the hedonistic playground of Ibiza, Menorca moves to a gentler, more rhythmic pulse. It is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, meaning its coastline remains fiercely protected, wild, and incredibly photogenic. The secret to conquering Menorca's beaches is understanding its split personality: the North is a dramatic, windswept Martian landscape of red clay and dark rocks, while the South is a Caribbean dream of blinding white sand, pine forests, and water so clear boats appear to be hovering in mid-air.

By Sebastian Schoellgen

For those in-the-know, Île de Ré has always been a popular holiday destination. Located off France’s west coast—under two and a half hours from Paris by TGV train and a quick 30-minute drive across the bridge from La Rochelle—this sun-drenched little island serves as the perfect place to slow down and escape the oppressive summer heat of the major French cities.

By Sophie Hay

Mallorca has long outgrown its old reputation as a mere fly-and-flop destination. Today, it stands as the Mediterranean’s undisputed capital of "slow luxury." Between the craggy, pine-scented peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana and the sun-bleached, olive-strewn valleys of the interior, the island has attracted a design-conscious crowd that prioritizes heritage over hype, and architectural restraint over flash.

By 84 Rooms Team

This summer, the travel set is trading the salt-crusted shores of the Mediterranean for something clearer, cooler, and infinitely more refined. Lac d’Annecy—often called Europe’s purest lake—has shed its sleepy Alpine reputation to become the season’s most effortless and compelling playground.

By 84 Rooms Team

A small island in the heart of the Cyclades, Antiparos strikes just the right balance: laid-back and low-key, yet with enough of a scene to spot the occasional familiar face. Days unfold in a sun-drenched rhythm of beach-hopping, long barefoot lunches in seaside tavernas, and boat trips to neighbouring islands like Koufonisia and Sifnos.

While the global summer crowds predictably bottleneck into the cliffside pathways of Positano or the tightly packed harbors of the Cinque Terre, a more authentic, slow-paced slice of the Italian Riviera remains hidden in plain sight. Just a short train ride east of Genoa, where the rugged Apennine mountains slide directly into the glassy, deep-blue waters of the Ligurian Sea, lies a trio of contiguous coastal gems: Nervi, Bogliasco, and Sori.

When it comes to the Basque Country, Biarritz and San Sebastián are always the first places to come to mind — and while both are standout destinations in their own right, there is far more to discover across this region straddling the French-Spanish border. With its unique culture, cuisine and language, the Basque Country rewards those who dare to venture off the well-trodden tourist trail.

If you think Cannes is solely about the glitz of the Croisette and old-world luxury, a stay at Hotel Belle Plage will beautifully disrupt your perspective.

There is a distinct, rhythmic elegance to summer in Forte dei Marmi. Nestled between the dramatic, marble-veined peaks of the Apuan Alps and the wide, golden sands of the Tyrrhenian coast, this Tuscan enclave has spent generations mastering the art of the effortless seasonal escape.

By 84 Rooms Team

The French Riviera has always known how to cast a spell, but lately, the Côte d’Azur is experiencing a dazzling renaissance. Moving away from the hyper-glossy, heavy-handed luxury of the early 2000s, the coast is returning to what made it legendary in the first place: raw Mediterranean beauty, artistic soul, and long, slow lunches under the pine trees.

In Milan, the aperitivo is not merely a pre-dinner drink; it is a civic duty. As the late-afternoon sun hits the terracotta facades, the city shifts gears.

In a city defined by its grand palaces, the real magic often lies behind a nondescript blue door or at the end of a leafy courtyard. For the 84 Rooms traveler, luxury isn't about the gold leaf; it’s about the intimacy of a 12-room hideaway and the perfect morning espresso in a secret garden.

By 84 Rooms Team

There is a specific, fleeting magic to Cadaqués that only reveals itself when the August heat begins to soften into a golden, late-summer haze. Tucked away in the far northeast of Spain on the rugged Costa Brava, this white-washed village sits where the Pyrenees finally tumble into the Mediterranean. For centuries, it was more accessible by sea than by land, and that sense of island-like isolation persists today.

By 84 Rooms Team

There is a specific kind of golden light that only seems to exist in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. It’s the light that lured Matisse, Chagall, and Picasso away from the coast and up into these fortified walls. While the village has long been a pilgrimage site for art history, 2026 sees it entering a new era of "quiet luxury." Between the high-concept minimalism of Fondation CAB and the legendary, creaking floorboards of La Colombe d’Or, Saint-Paul remains the ultimate retreat for those who prefer their Riviera experience with a side of intellectual depth and Provencal soul.

There is a specific, fleeting magic to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic fringe in May and June. The air carries the scent of wild rockrose rather than sunblock; the plazas are humming but not yet heaving; and there is a particular translucence to the sky, a golden sharpness that feels fleeting before the arrival of the sun-bleached, drowsy mists of August. We’ve curated a list of 10 hideaways that capture this "early summer" ethos, where the design is as intentional as the slow-pour Negronis.

Here is our expert insider guide to the Alps’ best-kept secrets, each an easy journey from an 84 Rooms member hotel.

Zurich is unique among European financial hubs. It is perhaps the only city where you can close a deal over breakfast at the Paradeplatz and be carving turns on a sun-drenched piste by lunchtime.

For the spontaneous traveler or the business guest with a free afternoon, we have curated three ski areas that are strictly within a one-hour drive (or train ride) of the city center.
