Anguilla is turning up the heat on summer travel with more than just sunshine and beaches.

The island has officially relaunched its summer campaign, Exclusively Yours, aimed at redefining what a Caribbean summer escape can be. Now in its second year, the campaign builds on a strong debut in 2024, when Anguilla saw double-digit growth in summer stayovers. This year, tourism officials are going even bigger, targeting luxury and mid-luxe travelers with a promise of curated, immersive experiences that go well beyond the shoreline.

Running from June through early September, Exclusively Yours positions Anguilla as a true year-round destination. While its beautiful beaches remain a major draw, the campaign’s focus in 2025 includes diving, adventure sports, local cultural immersions, and a wide range of accommodations from five-star resorts to boutique villas.

Luxury travel for less

Drawing inspiration from the art of handwritten letters, the Exclusively Yours campaign emphasizes intimacy and connection through clean visuals and heartfelt storytelling. Central to the message is Anguilla’s signature promise: “Less Screen Time, More Island Time.”

This year, the initiative expands beyond luxury resorts to include exclusive promotions at villas, boutique hotels, and charming hideaways scattered across the island. It also introduces curated experiential tours and rentals, designed to offer a fuller, more personalized travel experience that appeals to everyone.

Some standout deals include “Stay 6 Nights, Pay for 5” at Altamer Villas and the “Exclusively Yours Summer Offer” at Nevaeh Villa. Book six or more nights under the Heavenly package at Nevaeh, and you’ll be treated to a complimentary Caribbean barbecue welcome dinner, complete with unlimited rum punch.

You can explore all of the deals on the Exclusively Yours booking platform.

Savannah Beyond the Postcard

Take a look at one of the greatest southern cities from a different perspective.

Architecture, Building, Spire

Savannah is one of those cities that seems almost too easy to like. The live oaks are dramatic. The Spanish moss does exactly what it is supposed to do. The brick sidewalks buckle in all the right places. The houses look like they were designed by people who understood proportion, shade, and the value of a proper front step. Even the light seems to arrive with better manners than it does in most places.

I have a built-in advantage when it comes to Savannah. We have family there, so we have been back several times, not just once for the checklist version of the city. I have also done a photography workshop there, which is a terrific way to learn any city. You get up early, stay out late, and pay attention to alleys, doorways, ironwork, reflections, and the way a city changes when the tourists are still asleep.

I spent 72 hours in London with only a carry-on. Here’s how I did it in style

Luxury travel doesn't require a checked bag

London

Somewhere between the baggage claim carousel and the Elizabeth Line, I realized I'd already won. As passengers from my Norwegian flight to London crowded around the conveyor belt waiting for checked luggage to appear, I was already on my way into the city. Twenty minutes later, I was headed toward central London with nothing more than a carry-on suitcase and a backpack. I've become a bit of a carry-on evangelist over the past few years. Not because I'm trying to prove some minimalist point or because I enjoy seeing how few shirts I can survive with. I just genuinely think it's the better way to travel, especially for a long weekend in Europe.

My recent 72-hour trip from Copenhagen to London wasn't exactly a backpacker's itinerary. It included a stay at one of London's nicest luxury hotels, rooftop cocktails, dinners worth dressing up for, and plenty of walking through Soho, Covent Garden, and the rest of central London. Somehow, everything I needed fit inside my Travelpro Platinum Elite Slim Cabin Hardshell Spinner V2, with a backpack holding my flight essentials.

This New Montana Hotel Captures the Poetry of the Open Road

Helena's newest boutique hotel revives the spirit of the classic roadside motel.

Corner, Home Decor, Bed

In case you need another excuse for a Montana getaway this summer, a quirky new boutique hotel has opened in Helena, the Treasure State's capital. The Bell Hotel occupies the site of the former Bell Motel, a classic 1950s roadside lodge thoughtfully reimagined by CWG Architecture. Each of its 14 rooms features locally made chocolates, coffee, and artwork. While in town, ask the front desk about the Bell's Picnic in the Park package. The hotel supplies a basket of local treats and a blanket; Montana provides the sublime scenery and glorious weather. You're on your own for companionship.
