World Oceans Day might have passed, but in an age when respecting and taking an active role in appreciating nature and our oceans is paramount, every day should be World Oceans Day. These hotels honor and celebrate oceans year-round, allowing guests to further enjoy the beauty and magnificence of our planet’s seas.

Nova Maldives

This sustainable and modern resort lies on a 100-percent natural island with well-established vegetation, a beautiful beach and a protected reef. The resort encourages guests to take a snorkeling or diving excursion to South Ari Atoll to admire manta rays, whale sharks and even shipwrecks. Villas bring elements of the ocean inside with endless Indian Ocean views, natural lighting, minimalist interiors and warm materials.

Rockhouse Hotel, Negril, Jamaica

The award-winning Rockhouse Hotel sits among beautiful rocky cliffs overlooking blue and green waves. The property features 8 acres of tropical gardens and encourages guests to explore and admire Jamaica’s natural beauty. RockHouse Hotel is Green Globe Certified and includes rooms offering the perfect harmony of luxury and nature. While at the hotel, grab a snorkel and swim the clear waters to experience marine life up close.

The Ixian Grand & All Suites

In Rhodes, the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, this dreamy property spoils guests with views of Ixia Beach and the Mediterranean Sea. Head down to the coast to soak up the sun and swim in the waves. Guestrooms see neutral tones and calming patterns come together to further highlight the vibrant and bold colors of the nearby gardens and ocean. While on the island, venture to Seven Springs Waterfall to witness this beautiful spot.

Kandima Maldives

Deeply rooted in Maldivian nature and culture, Kandima Maldives features a wide array of villas and studios, many with their own pools overlooking turquoise waters. The property’s Aquaholics program allows guests to explore the ocean and appreciate the plants and marine life found within. Activities include turtle and dolphin quests, kayaking, sea bobbing and glass canoeing. Kandima also features the first fully immersive virtual platform that can take guests on interactive digital tours throughout the island.

Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler

The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.

A Fusion of History and Modernity Makes Bangkok a Perfect Meeting Spot

In this city of contrasts, glass skyscrapers stand behind century- old temples. Street food vendors sling steaming noodles along roadways while tucked-away restaurants serve multicourse, Michelin-level cuisine. Roadways jam with cars as jewel-toned tuk tuks whizz through the gridlock. Long considered a tourist mecca, Bangkok also makes for a dynamic, budding location for corporate travelers.
