BEYOND the ORDINARY
To think that most people never get to see Bhutan. Its Himalayan valleys and monastery aeries are breathtaking, and crowds have yet to spoil even the most popular places. We found a constellation of new luxury hideaways there to recommend. Bhutan is an archetypal once-in-a-lifetime destination, but we can’t wait to go back. To contrast our time in the mountains, we journeyed to the Canary Islands, a volcanic archipelago in the Atlantic that we explored aboard a striking new sailing yacht, the Sea Cloud Spirit. We also reviewed two fine hotels that make ideal bases for sightseeing and relaxing. And we rounded up some member feedback to learn what’s hot — and what’s not.
