One&Only Palmilla
San Jose del Cabo, Mexico
Cradled on the cusp of the Baja Peninsula, with panoramas over the Sea of Cortez, One&Only Palmilla is a legendary Mexican retreat. Amidst relaxing spa mornings and adventure-filled afternoons, take some time to savor One&Only Palmilla’s newest culinary experience: Hoshi.
An intimate, 28-seat omakase experience, Hoshi merges traditional Japanese ingredients with modern culinary techniques. Choose from a 10-, 12-, or 13-course set menu, featuring the freshest local ingredients and premium Japanese imports. Each of the plates – from the high-quality nigiri sushi to the light and airy tempura to the adorable petit fours – while seemingly simple, will mesmerize your tastebuds and transport you to The Land of the Rising Sun.

One&Only Cape Town
Cape Town, South Africa
Explore the beauty of South Africa from the ideally located One&Only Cape Town. Wake up to majestic views of Table Mountain or Cape Grace Marina before heading out for a day of hiking, beach going, or city slicking. Beyond the nature and city sights, many visitors are surprised to discover that South Africa boasts a burgeoning wine industry, with half a dozen viticultural regions scattered across the country.
At One&Only Cape Town, you can dive into the mind of local wine expert Luvo Ntezo, the Head Sommelier, with an exclusive wine blending experience. Guided by Ntezo himself, you’ll use beloved local wines to create your own signature blend. Once you’ve found the perfect balance, share your new creation over dinner or have it bottled to take home. Alternatively, take a One&Only Cape Town curated trip to the Cape Winelands’ Wimonsig Wine Estate, where you’ll take a behind-the-scenes tour of a working winery and indulge in a spectacular wine-focused picnic. Either way, you’ll leave with an even greater appreciation for South Africa’s best reds and whites.

My journey into the travel industry began at my 10th wedding anniversary, when I surprised my beautiful wife by booking our first cruise. I enjoyed it so much that as soon as I got off the ship I started looking at other sailing. Before you know it I was cruising with other family and friends. People begin coming to me about advice for their own vacations. Before you know it researching cruises, and other vacations became a favorite pass time.
