Noctourism & stargazing travel is trending, and we couldnât be more into it. đŤ Weâre adding these 5 trips to our bucket list â what about you?
đ Luxor, Egypt: In 2027, a total solar eclipse will be visible from the Valley of the Kings (a once-in-a-century event). GeoExâs Egypt Eclipse tour may just be the best way to take it in.
đŽđ¸ Iceland: Whatâs better than stargazing? Catching the northern lights while youâre at it. Iceland is your best bet if you want to do both.
⨠Chaco, New Mexico: This Dark Sky Park is one of the best places in the U.S. for stargazing â book a night sky tour with chaco_culture_nhp to learn all about the millennia-old stargazing practices of the Chacoan people.
đ¤ Okavango Delta, Botswana: Perched above the grasslands, the two new Star Beds at atzaro.okavango are the ultimate way to sleep under the stars.
đ Joshua Tree, California: The center of the Milky Way is visible most nights during the summer in Joshua Tree. Book the new Space Out package at parkerpalmsprings for an ultra-luxe way to soak it all in.

Art tourism is in the middle of what can only be called a renaissance (sorry! đ¤)âand weâre looking forward to a summer spent hopping from one art festival to the next. Here are three that weâre most excited about.
đ§đźâđ¨ FestivalPageant, Laguna Beach (Jul 2âAug 29): This festival has been running for nearly a century and is best known for its nightly Pageant of the Masters performances, where models recreate classic and contemporary works of art in life-size tableaux vivants.
đď¸AspenArFair_org, Aspen (Jul 29âAug 2): Put on by 74thArts as part of the annual Aspen Art Week, this yearâs Aspen Art Fair will feature booths from 40 galleries, immersive room installations throughout the historic HotelJeromeAuberge, and artist-led hikes.
SwabArtFair, Barcelona (Oct 2â5): Known for showcasing emerging and experimental artists from around the world, Swab is the perfect way to justify a shoulder-season trip to Barcelona.
Night at the museum, anyone? đźď¸ These four hotels let you get up close and personal with work from iconic and emerging artists alike. Get the scoop đđ˝
đ¨ TheFifeArms: This charming hotel in the heart of the Scottish highlands is the brainchild of the owners of the Swiss gallery hauserwirth. Unsurprisingly, itâs home to a collection of blue-chip art (including a Picasso or two), and you can stay in a suite modeled after a painterâs studio.
đ 21clex: 21c is known throughout the Midwest for its boundary-pushing approach to hospitality and art. Case in point? They recently debuted the âNightwatchâ suite by chrisdoylestudio, a surrealist sleep-in, site-specific installation that comes to life after the sun goes down.
⨠hotelkensington: Beat the queue for the Victoria & Albert Museum South Kensingtonâs new âCartier: A Journey Through Styleâ exhibition by booking the V&A Experience at the always-posh Kensington Hotel.
đ´ bevhillshotel: Under the direction of new art curator Lily Ackerman of ackermanstudios, The Beverly Hills Hotel is leaning into its status as an icon with a series of three exhibitions dubbed âSpotlight LA.â The first (on display until June) showcases the works of LA-based artist VirginiaBroersma.

đ The thegainsboroughbathspa is teaming up with strictlyjaneaustentours for two weekends of Regency-inspired fun this April and October to celebrate Jane Austenâs 250th birthday.

đž Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of âThe Great Gatsbyâ by checking into bellesrives on the CĂ´te dâAzur, where Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald decamped shortly after Gatsby was published, in April 1925, to begin work on "Tender Is the Night." The hotelâwhich is every bit as glamorous today as it was a century agoâis hosting a series of literary happenings to honor the anniversary throughout the year, including a Jazz Age-inspired tasting menu.
