Most Colorful Cities

Not all cities are grey concrete jungles

When one thinks of a typical metropolis, it's sky-high buildings with grey exteriors that normally come to mind, but there are plenty of vibrantly chromatic skylines around the world that are worth traveling for. These snapshots of rainbow villages and uniquely shaped buildings and streets will fill you with wanderlust and have you daydreaming about your next color-filled getaway. Keep scrolling for multi-hued spots that will lighten and brighten your travel bucket list.

Want to hit the slopes this season? 🚠🗻 🎿 Swipe to see our four favorite places to get in on the powdery action and see more info on each below.

Schweitzer Resort, Idaho: Best for casual skiers/snowboarders and those who skipped investing in an Epic or Icon pass this year.

Hörnli Mountain, Switzerland: Accessible via private lift from the tschuggengrandhotel, the mountain is ideal for luxury lovers.

Windham Mountain Club, New York: Under three hours from NYC, it's perfect if you’re after an uncrowded day on the slopes (especially if you get access to the members-only side of the mountain through a stay at amannewyork).

Whistler, Canada: With 200+ runs, a sliding center where you can bobsled or skeleton, and plenty of galleries and shopping, there’s something for everyone at North America’s largest ski resort.

Would you go on a quietcation? One of this year’s biggest travel trends has us seeking out silence—like the kind you’ll find if you’re in Bali on March 19th for Nyepi. For 24 hours, the island goes quiet in celebration of the Hindu New Year, giving residents and guests space to cleanse negative energy, reflect, and welcome in new beginnings.

Hello, gorgeous. 😍 A true celebration of Moroccan craftsmanship and design, elfennmarrakech has always been one of the best places to stay in Marrakech. And thanks to a refresh that’s breathed new life into nearly every corner of the iconic property (and earned it a record-breaking sale to new owners), it’s more beautiful than ever. We’re planning our stay, ASAP.

Want to experience one of the most remote pockets of the country without roughing it? Sheldon Chalet, a luxe, five-bedroom home nestled into the heart of Alaska’s Denali National Park, proves it's possible. 🗻 Accessible only via helicopter, guests fuel up on gourmet meals and recharge in the sauna in between backcountry skiing, glacier trekking, snow cavern spelunking, and rock climbing.

California’s Highway 1 is back in business after being closed through Big Sur for nearly two years — here’s what you can’t miss along the PCH:

🌊 Carmel-by-the-Sea: Stay in town at laplayaca or laubergecarmel, which offer easy access to shops, tasting rooms, and great restaurants. If you’re in the mood to golf, book a night at the historic Lodge at Pebble Beach.

🌊 Big Sur: Hit the trails at Point Lobos on your way out of Carmel, then soak up the iconic drive as you head to ventanabigsur or postranchinn.

🌊 Cambria & San Luis Obispo: Book a tour at the iconic Hearst Castle as you make your way out of Big Sur. Then, stay in charming Cambria at the whitewatercambria (we recommend getting up early, grabbing a coffee, and heading to Moonstone Beach to watch the surfers catch waves). Or, make your way just a little further south for a night in SLO, named one of the happiest cities in California.

🌊 Santa Ynez Valley & Santa Barbara: Cut inland for a day or two of wine tasting in Santa Ynez Valley (stay at sanysidroranch or matteistavernauberge), or head directly into Santa Barbara, where you can hop between tasting rooms on the Urban Wine Trail, soak up the beautiful beaches, and take in the Spanish-style architecture.

🌊 Malibu & Santa Monica: Many of Malibu’s trails, beaches, and hotels are open a year after the devastating Palisades Fire. Spend the night at one of them — you can’t go wrong with thesurfridermalibu or noburyokanmalibu), or make your way into Santa Monica.

🌊 Laguna Beach: Soak up the art scene and lounge by pristine beaches with a stay at casalomabeachhotel, montagelaguna or the new lepetitpali.

🌊 San Diego: For your last stop, spend a few days brewery hopping, touring the museums at Balboa Park, and wandering the city’s diverse neighborhoods. pendrysandiego and delcoronado are both great places to stay.

Whether you want to embrace the winter weather or are looking to escape it, these are the destinations that should be on your itinerary from now until March.

🇦🇹 Vienna: Head to the city from Jan-April for ball season to catch an opera or a very, very elegant night out

🌴 Palm Springs: Modernism Week returns to the desert from February 12-26

🏔️ French Alps: Skip the Olympic madness in the Dolomites and head to Les 3 Vallées, Europe’s largest (and perhaps most luxurious) ski area.

🇯🇲 Jamaica: Beloved resorts in hotspots like Ocho Rios, Negril, and Montego Bay have reopened after Hurricane Melissa, and visiting is one of the best ways to support the island nation as it recovers.

🇲🇽 Mexico City: There’s never a bad time to visit CDMX, but the temps are especially mild in January and February—perfect for long days wandering trendy neighborhoods.
