The just-added destinations we can't stop thinking about

It's quite the haul… [View in browser]( [Image]( [HOTELS]( [INSPIRATION]( [OFFERS]( [Image]( We miss postcards. Having dropped through your letterbox, those glossy little messengers would sit patiently in your hall, waiting to deliver greetings from far away. So today, we’re playing the postman, bringing you a parcel of brand-new destinations (and hotels, of course). Some we’ve had our eye on for a long time (well hello, Havana). Others stand out for their pure uniqueness, such as a tiny Polynesian island with a big Hollywood connection. Forget 'wish you were here'. Once you've seen these, it'll be 'wish I was there'… [Alternate text]( [Alternate text]( FRENCH POLYNESIA TETIAROA He might have had a heart of darkness but even Colonel Kurtz needed time off. Or at least Marlon Brando did, spending time between shoots on Tetiaroa, his beloved atoll in French Polynesia. He wasn’t the first to come under its spell: long before the screen royal signed a 99-year lease, actual Tahitian royalty were using the island for premarital beauty rituals. Now it’s home to [the Brando,]( where you play an exceptionally pampered castaway. And while its gone all-in on luxury, the resort goes all-out to preserve the island's ecology (the actor's unwavering passion).

Sheath your cutlass, dreamer – it’s just the palms rustling outside your window at [Long Bay Beach Resort](, Tortola. With opalescent waters, place names like Smugglers Cove and a historical association with Blackbeard and Captain Kidd, the capital of the British Virgin Islands sure has a swashbuckling streak. Having hung up its pistols long ago, it's now a place of profound peace. The rum hasn’t gone anywhere, however… [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( CUBA HAVANA Colonialism, mob rule in the Fifties, the trade embargo: Cuba has shouldered a lot but has never lost its intoxicating charm. And now, after much searching, we’ve a standout stay in Havana. A far cry from the state-sanctioned hotels, [A|S Boutique Residence]( holds a mirror up to Old Havana’s faded beauty and gloriously muddled culture. With its baroque features and five-metre-high ceilings, this maverick stay has a certain European elan – as well as an art gallery, roof terrace (mojito, anyone?) and a café brewing fragrant Cuban coffee. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( [Alternate text]( PANAMA ISLA PALENQUE, CHIRIQUI GULF A 400-acre private island with only nine rooms? It sounds like the stuff of midwinter dreams but it’s very much a reality at Panama resort [Isla Palenque](, bordering the Chiriquĩ Gulf National Marine Park. Each sustainably-built casita is ensconced within nature-rich forest and sufficiently secluded that you can use the open-air bath with reckless abandon. And with so few fellow guests, you won't exactly be fighting for attention when you go kayaking in mangroves, rock fishing, or picnicking on desert islands. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( SLOVENIA JEZERSKO Valleys carpeted with pasture? Check. Fir trees marching up the slopes? In abundance. Rocky, precipitous peaks? You bet. Described like this, you’d think we were talking about Austria or Switzerland. But in fact it's our latest high-altitude find Jezersko, in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps of northern Slovenia. Chalet-style stay [Vila Planinka]( is the perfect pairing for the landscape, built of local spruce and larch. Pretty wooden balconies and features like a Finnish sauna should be familiar enough, but chef Blaž Derlink’s tasting menus and the all-Slovenian wine list are among the qualities sure to surprise and delight. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( [Alternate text]( CANADA PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, ONTARIO Been there, done that? Then we suggest a trip to Prince Edward County, Ontario, a delightfully offbeat destination capable of inspiring cult-like passion. Did you know you can sprawl out on a white-sand beach on the banks of Lake Ontario? Or that the local restaurant scene punches well above its weight thanks to an influx of talent and top-tier produce? Oh, and there are wineries. Dozens of them. We’ve got the perfect stay, too, in the form of [Merrill House](, a redbrick mansion filled with vintage treasures, exotic artefacts and other eccentricities.
