6 Cool Destinations You Don’t Know…yet
6 Cool Destinations You Don’t Know…yet
Sure you’ve been to St. Thomas, Maui or even Cabo San Lucas. We love those destinations too! But if you want to try a villa somewhere just a little different, check out these 6 locations you probably haven’t heard of yet, but won’t easily forget.
Punta Mita, Mexico
This is the absolute brightest up-and-comer on the luxury villa scene. Located on Mexico’s west coast, near Puerto Vallarta, this totally self-contained community is high-end, high-style and unadulterated fun for the whole family! Golfers will love its new Nicklaus-designed course with unique island green.

The Maremma, Tuscany
Home to the traditional butteri cowboys, the Maremma is a little bit Tuscany and a little bit old west. Bordered by the sea and Tuscany’s famous wine regions, you can hit the beach one day and a vineyard the next. Talk about ideal!

Zakynthos, Greece
The Greek Isles are certainly not seen-one-seen-em-all, if Zakynthos is any indication. This island is under the radar, long in the shadow of its more popular cousins Santorini and Mykonos, but we think it deserves a visit precisely for its quiet charm. Another unsuspected draw? Scuba diving!

Nail Bay, Virgin Gorda
The Caribbean outpost of Virgin Gorda is lesser-known to begin with, but we’re upping the ante on this British Virgin Island by pointing you towards Nail Bay, a soft crescent of sand within its borders. Home to 6 of our luxury villas, it is an unassumingly gorgeous place fitting of Virgin Gorda’s laidback lifestyle!

Playa del Secreto, Mexico
We’re not surprised that you haven’t heard the name of this Riviera Maya beach community – it’s a secret! Luxury Retreats offers 4 villas in Playa del Secreto, all located right on the beach, which is shared between just a handful of other homes. We love the quiet “neighborhood” feel of the area, only just 20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Playa del Carmen.

Chalk Sound, Turks and Caicos
It’s tough to find a corner of the Turks and Caicos that isn’t gorgeous, but we think this unique part of the island really stands out. Chalk Sound is a shallow inlet divided by the sea by only a sliver of land, just enough to let the water remain a uniform electric turquoise. It’s truly a sight to see!
