The Best For 2026

As we look ahead to a brand new year of possibilities, I wanted to share a little travel inspiration to spark your wanderlust. Every December I start hearing the same thing from clients: “Where should I go next?” And honestly, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years in a long time—full of new openings, revived cities, and places that feel wonderfully untouched.

This curated list gives you some of “The Best Places to Go in 2026” and is perfect whether you’re planning your next big adventure or just love imagining where your passport might take you. What caught my attention this year is how different these destinations are from each other—one moment you’re reading about forest safaris at the foot of Mount Meru, and the next you’re dreaming of Barbados’ wild Atlantic coastline or the artistic buzz transforming Brussels. Each place offers something fresh: new museums, new ways to experience nature, new cultural spaces, and of course, new stories waiting to be made by you.
