El Albergue
Ollantaytambo, Peru
Alden Wicker, editor-in-chief of EcoCult, a fashion and travel blog with a sustainable sensibility, spent four months in South America—and she calls El Albergue "the most authentic, beautiful, memorable, and of course, sustainable" destination she visited. There's a working farm, a micro-distillery, a coffee roaster—and even an eco-conscious elementary school on site.

Beyond by Geisel
Munich, Germany
Tokyo-based food and travel writer Melinda Joe found the adults-only, luxury city residence Beyond to be aptly named. "Beyond in Munich was so surprising and hidden, and the service was incredible—24-hour kitchen, and you could just take wine from the cellar."

White
Lagoa, Azores
Travel writer Zoe Macfarlane calls the Azores—an archipelago of nine rocky islands off the coast of Portugal—the Atlantic's playground. And, in particular, she found the new boutique hotel White to be "absolutely stunning." Once a private manor and wine storage area, it is now a sleek, rustic-modern luxury destination, each room with an incomparable view of the Atlantic.
