Aruba
What to do near Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA)
Crystal waters, high-end beachfront resorts, and perfect weather nearly every day of the year. Aruba offers the ease of direct jet access and the refined calm of Eagle Beach, plus a thriving culinary scene that blends Caribbean and Dutch influences. While others crowd into the usual Caribbean hot spots, you’ll enjoy privacy, exceptional service, and a place that feels like it was designed for your kind of summer.
Fly into Queen Beatrix International and you’re instantly connected to everything Aruba does best: from world-class snorkeling at Mangel Halto to the pristine serenity of Eagle Beach. Venture inland to explore Arikok National Park’s rugged desert beauty, then circle back to Oranjestad for boutique shopping, colorful streets, and a taste of island life at its most vibrant. And if you’re staying through sundown, Palm Beach nightlife offers all the energy you want, just steps from your suite.
Bermuda
What to do near L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA)
Only 90 minutes from the East Coast but a world away. Bermuda’s pink-sand beaches and limestone cliffs pair beautifully with luxury stays like Rosewood Tucker’s Point and cliffside golf that rivals any in the world. Once you land at L.F. Wade International, the island unfolds quickly: from snorkeling at Tobacco Bay to wandering the historic streets of St. George’s. Spend the afternoon admiring underground wonders at the Crystal Caves or teeing off with an ocean view at Port Royal Golf Course. And if you’re looking to unwind, Horseshoe Bay’s pink sands are never far.
Nice, France
What to do near Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE)
Fly into one of Europe’s most iconic jetports and you’re immediately immersed in Côte d’Azur elegance. From the airport, you’re minutes from promenading along the Mediterranean on the famed Promenade des Anglais or sipping espresso in Vieux Nice’s sun-washed squares. Hike up Castle Hill for sweeping views of terracotta rooftops and yachts below, or spend the afternoon at the Chagall or Matisse museums. Looking for a garden escape? Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat’s Villa Ephrussi awaits with manicured splendor. With Monaco, Èze, and Saint-Tropez nearby, Nice is a launchpad for Riviera adventures or a destination all its own.

Porto’s legendary port wine cellars await just across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia, while Matosinhos Beach and the Serralves contemporary art museum offer a balance of nature and culture. Less saturated than Lisbon and lighter than the Algarve, Porto is Portugal for those who know the difference.
