Paul Allen may be the silent backer of Olarro, but this resort is screaming from the Loita hills to get on your radar.  This hillside lodge overlooking the Masai Mara is becoming Kenya’s next high-profile hideaway. Designer Anthony Russell has worked his magic on the seven thatched cottages and a two-bedroom villa: the tiled floors resemble giraffe markings, and the billowing fabric ceilings give the feel of a tented camp. Olarro is exclusive, intimate and stylish with private spaces of extreme luxury complementing the beautiful landscapes. Go. Go now.

In case you have been under a rock, let me introduce you to Pinterest. It’s is a vision board-styled social photo sharing website and app where users can create and manage theme-based image collections. Sexy, savvy, personal, clean, happy. ahh.

Alas, now you don’t need jam and peanut butter to make a PB&J. Ono Organic Farm in Hawaii has apparently finally grown the peanut butter berry. No joke. Kids everywhere….time to celebrate!

Rayavadee Krabi is situated at the heart of the stunning Phranang Peninsular on the edge of Krabi Marine National Park. Nestled discreetly amidst tropical gardens and coconut groves against a backdrop of sheer cliffs, lush jungle foliage and the clear waters of the Andaman Sea. In addition to stylish, five-star accommodation, Rayavadee boasts fine cuisine, one of the most unique relaxation spas in Thailand and warm, attentive service.
A little slice of heaven within a pie of perfection.

Hob knob with the best of em on Marthas Vineyard.  Hideaway in a 9th century gothic revival home transformed into the island’s premier eco-boutique hotel.

Welcome to Hotel Lumen Paris Louvre, where elegance and design come together in carefully designed rooms, and every piece of furniture meets the seductive presence of light, with contemporary taste and charming recollections of the past. Just steps from the Louvre and the Tuileries gardens, its oui oui oui Paris!

Posada de Mike Rapu, Explora Rapa Nui is like a fairytale. Explora’s LEED-certified lodge offers accomodations worthy of its legendary (and legendarily remote) setting 3,700 miles off Chile’s coast. Built to blend into the arid, rocky landscape, the Posada uses pine wood, local stone, and a cylindrical glass-heavy design endowing all 30 suites have enormous windows with broad views of the Pacific (good thing, because there are no TVs.) The property is paradise for active travelers: each morning, guests choose from a menu of excursions, including volcano treks, horseback rides along the coast (bring a picnic lunch!), and scuba dives. It’s transformative.

If Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren had a baby it would be the Washington School House Hotel. The latest piece of heaven to fall into the U.S. landed in Park City just in time for Sundance. Despite the endless parties and films you almost don’t want to leave your room! Lala can honestly say that the staff was one of the best she has encountered in her entire career. Seriously. The perfectly served breakfasts in front of a roaring fire under 16 ft. ceilings were magic. Want a massage? no problem. A res at any restaurant regardless of the extra 50,000 people that have taken over the town…no problem. An extra duffel that magically appears in your room when you have hit the gifting suites a little too hard…again, no problem. Luxuriate in your room, piled in white Pratesi linens, down feather bed and pillows. Have a drink in the chic ski lounge. There’s even a heated pool and spa tucked into the hillside surrounded by aspens, spruce and boulders. I almost want to write about this place all year long just to get your attention because the Washington School House certainly got mine. There are only 12 rooms inside this hideaway…but I’m telling you now…I may just take them all next year…but I can save you one if you ask nicely
