There’s a reason Albert Hammond crooned “It Never Rains in Southern California”, with its notorious laid-back rhythm and perpetual sunshine, Southern California is a spring escape with soul. From surf-soaked mornings in Laguna Beach to vineyard afternoons in Santa Barbara, this stretch of coast guarantees golden hours and glowing skin. To soak up the scene in ultimate style, stay at The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, a breezy, design-forward retreat in Oceanside. 

Often overlooked for Marrakech or Casablanca, Rabat is Morocco’s quietly elegant capital. Wander its wide boulevards framed by French colonial architecture, lose yourself in leafy Andalusian gardens or explore the kasbah where cobalt blue doors pop against whitewashed walls. Spring here brings warmth without the intensity of summer, making it the perfect time to explore palaces, galleries and hidden riads. For a stay that encapsulates the city, book The Ritz-Carlton, Rabat Dar Es Salam, located in a lush eucalyptus forest just outside the city.

A shimmering cityscape rises from the desert, flanked by turquoise sea and blue sky. Spring here means balmy beach days, sunset safaris and rooftop cocktails with views that stretch for miles. Whether you’re wandering the spice-scented souks of old Dubai or basking poolside in the futuristic skyline of the marina, there’s an energy to the city that’s as captivating as it is indulgent. To match that vivacity with comfort, we suggest Jumeirah Mina A’Salam for refined beachfront glamour that keeps you close to the buzz of the city. 

Completely otherworldly and unspoiled, Chile’s Atacama Desert is not only the driest place on Earth; it’s also one of the most surreal – perfect as the filming destination for several Mars, Moon and extraterrestrial Hollywood scenes. Days here are a symphony of unearthly contrasts with lunar-like salt flats, steaming geysers at dawn and flamingos wading through rose-tinted lagoons. Explore ancient petroglyphs tucked into wind-sculpted canyons and, when it’s time to unwind, return to Awasi Atacama – Relais & Châteaux a collection of private suites that provides an oasis of luxury accommodation and dining in the untamed Atacama.
