Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangaroo Island, Australia

Unwinding on PACIFIC ISLES

At last: After too long an absence, we made it back to Australia. The main goal of our return was to evaluate the new incarnation of Southern Ocean Lodge, one of the continent’s star resorts. We connected our stay there with hideaways in Tasmania to make a compelling and unique southern Australian itinerary. On a completely different island in the Pacific, a splashy new opening in Hawaii encouraged us to compare and contrast luxury beach hotels on the Kohala Coast — a pleasure of a duty indeed! In our Cruise News column, we delve into culinary collaborations at sea. And finally, we have another Member Spotlight column. We love these interviews that are about your travels.
