Europe This Summer: Six Destinations Worth Every Moment
Sun, warm water and evenings that take on a life of their own. Here are six destinations to put on your radar this summer — curated by the L'invité concierge for members planning their most memorable European season yet.
Milos, Greece
The Aegean's most dramatic island
Volcanic landscapes, lunar beaches and hidden sea caves reachable only by boat. Milos is what the rest of the Greek islands were before everyone arrived — rugged, quiet, and impossibly photogenic. Base yourself at Skinopi Lodge on the west coast for the sunsets.
Sardinia, Italy
The island that does it all
From the superyacht glamour of Costa Smeralda in the north to the untouched coves of the Gulf of Orosei in the east, Sardinia offers some of the clearest water and most beautiful coastline in the entire Mediterranean. A different island every 30 miles.
Menorca, Spain
The Balearic island that kept its secret
Hidden coves, pine-fringed cliffs and water so clear it barely looks real. Ciutadella's harbour at sunset is one of summer Europe's most effortlessly beautiful evenings. The quieter alternative to Mallorca and Ibiza — with the same water, none of the noise.
D Maris Bay, Turkey
The Aegean's best kept secret
Where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean on the Datça Peninsula, surrounded by pine forests, white-sand beaches and a breathtaking bay that feels genuinely hidden from the world. Five beaches, an Aman-style spa, and the kind of privacy money usually can't quite buy.
Bay of Kotor, Montenegro
Europe's most underrated summer escape
Mountains dropping straight into flat water, medieval walled towns and a superyacht marina at Porto Montenegro. The Bay of Kotor has no real equivalent in Europe — the fjord landscape of Norway with the water temperature of the Mediterranean.
Hvar, Croatia
The Adriatic's most glamorous island
Superyachts in the harbour, a beautiful walled old town and the Pakleni Islands reachable only by boat. Hvar does glamour and natural beauty in equal measure — the Croatian coast's answer to Capri, with lavender fields and vineyards inland.
