EDEN ROCK
ST. BART’S
On the island of St. Bart’s—the epitome of barefoot luxury in the Caribbean—Eden Rock has reopened its doors following an extensive two-year renovation in the wake of Hurricane Irma in 2017. The 1953 grande dame is set on a hill above turquoise-hued St. Jean Bay, where the resort’s 37 guest rooms were reimagined by owners Jane and David Matthews with bright splashes of color and contemporary art. Some rooms now have private plunge pools. The Swedish designer Martin Brudnizki has revamped the Sand Bar restaurant in shades of green and gold—a color palette that extends to the Rémy Bar, which debuted in a new building. From $990. oetkercollection.com

AMAN KYOTO
JAPAN
Wait for the forest to invite you in. So goes the first rule of , or Japanese forest bathing. Savvy travelers will await the invitation at the lanterns, charcoal timber slats, and cypress-wood soaking tubs. Even modern touches—heated stone bathroom floors, e-bikes—are discreetly incorporated into the ancient surroundings.
