Home to rocky red cliffs, secluded coves, and sun-dappled turquoise beaches – the Spanish island of Ibiza – just off the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, smacks of both glamorous and boho sensibility. You’ll also find an array of unassuming beach shacks, airy cafes, classic mainstays, and legendary clubs. Just below, is a snapshot of our favorite Ibiza addresses – and the lowdown where to enjoy an easy-breezy seaside Komos cocktail.
Over the last several years, the cosmopolitan city of Milan – once a culinary afterthought to Rome and Puglia – has experienced somewhat of a gastronomique renaissance thanks to a wave of classic institutions, low-key bistros and new design-savvy bars. And while beloved dishes like cassoeula, osso bucco, risotto alla Milanese still line the menus, you’ll also find plenty of modern takes on the cuisine. For an insider’s perspective, we caught up with seasoned local Meredith Erickson, the Alpine Cooking author, who just last year co-founded Doladira – a chemical-free, low-in-sugar, made-in-Italy rhubarb aperitivo that also happens to be in the Komos family. Here, Erickson shares her favorite restaurants and bars in Milano.
Monaco, the world’s second smallest country is known for its high glamour and classic dining, while the once bohemian-fringed fisherman’s port of Saint-Tropez now smacks of celebratory and bedazzled Champagne corks. Of course, this is the South of France, so Michelin-starred chefs, markets stocked with fresh produce and epic views are all de rigueur. Below, our favorites from the region (including a few where you can sip Komos).
Winter in the French Alps means three things: charming villages, glorious snow-capped peaks and world-class slopes. But that’s not all: elevated eateries, buzzy nightlife, snow-dusted chalets and luxury hotels with knockout views also beckon ski bunnies who flock in droves for a taste of the season’s splendor (epic après and live music included). Below, a handful of our favorite hotels, restaurants and bars.
From the moment you arrive in Jordan – known for its layered landscapes, historical attractions and cosmopolitan culture – you know you’re in for something special. In celebration of Tequila Komos recent unveiling in the country, we’re checking out a few sites, scenes and sounds outside Amman’s bustling city limits. A small country about the size of Portugal, Jordan’s unique milieu defies the laws of nature as we know it; Mediterranean climate mixed with Greco-Roman ruins, arid desert landscapes and the famed Dead Sea. Below, a foursome of not-to-miss experiences in Jordan.
From the charming waterfront city of Zurich, Switzerland’s largest metropolis, you’ll discover the Altstadt (Old Town) hugging the serene Limmat River, a historic area known for its guild houses, churches, and boutiques. That’s not all: fanning out to luxe hotels, sophisticated eateries, buzzy bars, and arty neighborhoods, there’s much more to this global Swiss city than just finance and high-end watches. Just below, we share our favorite spots to see, eat, sip, and stay in the intimate town of Züri.
Certainly, there’s never a bad time to visit the Bahamas. From the iconic white sands of Nassau’s Cable Beach to the surrounding enclave known as Baha Mar, you’ll find plenty of prime Caribbean views and day-into-night entertainment that rivals Miami’s fabled South Beach. We also touch down on Abaco Island where private beach time, conch chowder, and perhaps a generous pouring or two of Komos are on the menu.
About 150 miles from Athens, you’ll find Milos – a once under-the-radar Aegean Sea destination that has been slowly gaining popularity for those seeking quieter days – and nights. Not to mention Milos’ otherworldly, lunar-like landscape is blessed with over 70 beaches – most of which are accessed only by boat – and showcasing some of the bluest water in the Cyclades. Below, some of our favorite spots in the still sleepy (at least, relatively speaking) Greek island of Milos.
Welcome to Aspen. Soaring at 8,000 feet in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, summer wildflowers and green Aspen groves are seemingly everywhere. Head out for first-class art, rotating concerts and outdoor adventure. Later, check out the hot eateries and don’t miss the watering holes that once served the town’s thirsty hippies, artists and outlaws. Below, a few ideas on how to plan your off-season weekend in Aspen.
Pollock. de Kooning. Krasner. Ernst. It’s no secret the Hamptons has long been a source of artistic inspiration. In fact, decades before the glitz and glamor arrived, the bucolic region drew a bevy of groundbreaking artists who, since the 1870s, descended on its seaside milieu to work and recharge
You’ve arrived on Nantucket, a 14-mile-long island blessed with pristine beaches, unscathed dunes and serene moors. An intimate town where sea captains once built elegant mansions on cobblestone streets and charming clapboard cottages housed salty sailors. These days, you’ll find a lineup of seafood-inspired dining, hip bars and iconic hotels (many of which date back to the 1840s). Below, a few ideas for how to spend a summer weekend in “ACK.”
La Colombe d’Or became a de facto gathering place for artists, bon vivants and flaneurs who escaped Paris during World War II. These days, the once tiny three-room inn has morphed into a 25-room property with a museum-like pedigree. Art is everywhere – a living and breathing relic of a time gone by. Just read the inn’s door signage: “Ici on loge à cheval, à pied ou en peinture,” (translation: Here we lodge those on foot, on horseback or those with paintings).
