BEACHES + FJORDS

There’s no better time for a Caribbean escape than February, when those of us in the northern U.S. have long since tired of gray skies and heavy coats. We realized that we haven’t reviewed any resorts on the dramatically scenic island of St. Lucia in more than 15 years. That indefensible gap in our coverage has now been rectified: We discovered two sybaritic properties to recommend there. We also explored Norway’s two largest cities and tested an unforgettable golf-themed cruise around Scotland. Now is the time to start planning if you wish to visit either destination this summer. And look in this issue for new New York recommendations and a roundup of exciting-looking hotel openings in Italy.
