Once in a Lifetime Vol. 2. Places to Go for Travel and Leisure

Cultivate your wanderlust with this journey to the most beguiling get-aways in the world. Whether a grand hotel, an eco-lodge, or a family-run B&B, this book celebrates the luxury of living unparalleled experiences in extraordinary destinations.

Many of us want to see the world and discover places, cultures, nature, or food that will surprise us. Ideally, we’ll even surprise ourselves with how much we can be affected by such journeys. But where should we go when we want to experience something new or get away from it all? Which places will we always remember? Which moments will we never forget?

Once in a Lifetime Vol. 2 presents a diverse range of unparalleled destinations for those longing for extraordinary travel experiences, whether they are seeking an adventure or a retreat. Some will be attracted to cities — the urban flair of Vienna, the bustle of Tokyo, the rich history of Marrakech — and their sumptuous hotels. Others will want to be pampered at a wellness resort; find peace and quiet in an isolated mountain hut; fulfill a childhood dream of going on a safari; learn how to make wine; or see, hear, and smell a tropical rainforest.

Cultivate your wanderlust with this visual journey to the most beguiling get-aways in the world. The architecture, interiors, and creative details of the featured locations contribute to each destination’s charm, and highly individualized service guarantees an unforgettable experience.

The selection of accommodations in Once in a Lifetime Vol. 2 is enticing yet accessible. Many of them feature offerings suited to various budgets.
