This may not seem like the ideal moment to take the kids on safari. In part because of that growing demand, Angama added a mobile four-bedroom safari camp in 2020 that follows animal migration patterns. "The American family market has been extraordinarily resilient during COVID", said Calvin Cottar, a member of the fourth generation of Cottars to run safaris in Kenya. [Extracted from the article]

CEO of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas Beachfront cocktails at sunset and couples massages in ocean-view cabanas are par for the course at luxury Caribbean hotels. Adaptive reuse is nothing new, but few hotels combine sumptuousness and sustainability as successfully as the 390-room Villa Copenhagen - opening April 1 inside a neo-Baroque post office in the heart of Denmark's capital. Physicians are available for free 24/7 consultations through a telemedicine program, and the hotel goes beyond the usual 401(k) savings plan and company match, offering free financial counseling.

But San Domenico's local owners, the Melpignano family, brought an exacting attention to detail that made this property an outlier - a new, spiffed-up breed of hotel for this part of Italy. Since San Domenico's opening, many stories have been told about Puglia's scenic towns, like Alberobello, a hilly maze marked by trulli, the region's now iconic, white-domed conical houses. We'd talk to other couples over drinks and then retreat to our respective tables, briefly glance at the menu, and leave ourselves in the hands of Puglian chef Tommaso Sanguedolce, the Castello's wunderkind and secret weapon. In northern Puglia, near Fasano, you'll find Masseria San Domenico (masseriasandomenico.com; doubles from $300), a 15th-century farmhouse with a magnificent freeform pool and a thalasso therapy spa.

Our annual guide to the essential hotel openings (and reopenings) of the year took us to 32 countries in search of the unforgettable - from a spring-fed resort in Taiwan with the world's most luxurious bath to a West Texas escape that feels like a supersize Donald Judd sculpture. WHAT GIVES THIS eight-room bolt-hole an edge in a town packed with great hotels? I found enough to do on site that I almost forgot about the city beyond: each of the 84 guest rooms and villas has a private terrace and swimming pool, and there are fitness classes, hammam and spa treatments, falconry, wine tastings, and an ayurvedic wellness center that offers weeklong retreats. For food and cocktails, there's Greenbrier Swim & Social, which essentially uses the entire hotel as its dining room - servers would bring me a breakfast wrap, kale salad, fish tacos, or a bottle of rosé whether I chose to lounge poolside or hang in the light-filled lobby.

Departments IN THE SPRING OF 1983, my mother booked our family on a two-week driving tour of Sri Lanka, on a loop that included the ancient temples of Polonnaruwa, the fortified city of Galle, and the tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya. In 1971, Judith Friedberg, a contributor to the magazine for more than 20 years, reported that Myanmar - then Burma - was "opening up." A journey to Sri Lanka was fairly daring for American travelers in the 1980s. [Extracted from the article]
