It's been a long-held dream of mine to publish a magazine dedicated to luxury travel, an industry that was foundational to my career—and that instilled in me a wanderlust that has fueled so many memorable experiences. Bal Harbour Shops is a place that has always attracted global citizens—those who are comfortable in di erent time zones, travel with ease, and seek out the best. To those people—my kind of people—this issue is for you. We want to spark your curiosity about a new destination—have you visited Menorca yet?—or perhaps give you a new outlook on a more familiar one. Travel Editor Mark Ellwood takes us island-hopping through Greece, touching down on a few of the smaller islands that will be the places to see and be seen this season. Closer to home, I plan on using Sari Anne Tuschman's insider's guide to Aspen to plan my own trip there this summer. Since fashion is at the core of what we do here at Bal Harbour Shops, we've also put together a few packing lists to accompany your itineraries— including a musts list for your time in Miami, edited by Bal Harbour Shops' new Head Personal Shopper, Luz Munoz. We also catch up with the fabulous Valentina De Santis, whose Passalacqua hotel in Lake Como became an overnight sensation; racing legend Jenson Button, who shares which Rolex is always on his wrist; and interior designer Nicole Hollis, whose hotel projects include the recently redesigned Kona Village, a Rosewood Resort on Hawaii's Big Island. One of my favorite reads is "Locally Sourced," a roundup of recommendations from our Miami friends. However you choose to spend your summer holiday, I hope it's full of moments of awe and wonder—and maybe a few new accessories. TRAVEL 38 ASK THE EXPERT Third-generation hotelier Valentina De Santis on what makes Lake Como's Passalacqua the best hotel in the world. 42 WANDERLUST Headed to Aspen this summer? We have your comprehensive guide to the town's green season. 48 GREEK REVIVAL Mark Ellwood reports that Greece will be one of this summer's most sought-after destinations, but the jet set's newest hot spots may surprise you. 58 SAN MARCO SECRETS In time for the Venice Biennale, Milan-based writer Laura May Todd divulges where to go, stay, and dine for an art-filled Italian escape.
