COTTAGE IS THE NEW COOL
THE OTHER DAY at the airport, I watched masked travellers walk past me while announcements about social distancing played on a loop. And I was struck by how quickly we have adapted to this COVID-era reality, when less than two years ago all of this would have sounded like a dystopian novel. The way we travel has changed, perhaps forever. It made me wonder: what else has changed about our journeys?
My accommodation preferences certainly have seen a dramatic shift. This year, I found myself searching for cottage-style resorts, drawn to the privacy and physical distancing that they naturally offer. I stayed at places that ranged from a little Goan beach shack to a garden resort in Ladakh—all worlds apart, but with a few striking similarities. Here are four charming resorts of note that I checked into over the last one year.
