Pink Sand? Green Sand? Black Sand, Oh My!

The impending gloom of winter is upon us, but these different shades of sand will lighten up your mood and inspire your next beach vacation or weekend getaway. The wide spectrum of sand hues, that are sure to make a splash on your Instagram feed, are caused by erosion from nearby landscapes, volcanic eruptions, and sometimes decades of crushed up sea shells. In return, we have stunning colored sand beaches to feast our eyes on. From bright white to pink, red, and green...what color do you see in your future?

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. 📸 Courtesy of Hoshino Resorts #quietcations #traveltrends #luxurytravel #bali

Sometimes, over-the-top trips look like five-star hotels and private jets. Other times, it looks more like this: taking in the stars while on a guided horseback trek across Mongolia’s wild steppes, deserts, and mountains with pelorusx. What’s more your speed? #luxurytravel #travelinspiration #bucketlist #mongolia
