1. THE ROAD TO ADVENTURE
Lost among the rugged beauty of untamed mountains, Montenegro is a destination renowned as a playground for those who enjoy the finer things in life. This month, Regent Porto Montenegro has partnered with GoBaloo to offer 4X4 off-road adventures for thrill seekers craving exploration. Taking guests beyond the Adriatic coast and into Montenegro’s wild mountainous terrain and untouched forests, you can soak up panoramic views that reveal the country’s hidden gems including the Museum of Living History, Fort St Andrija and the historic village of Gornji Stoliv. The hotel sits elegantly on the natural beauty of Boka Bay with 460-berths across Porto Montenegro. With a Venetian-style design and timeless elegance, the property is the perfect place to retreat to after a day of exploring the wilderness.

2. SWISS GRANDEUR
There is something so special about the town of St Moritz in the winter. A haven for those travellers searching for snow and glamour, the town shines brightest when the sun is at its most shy, and at the heart of this snowy enclave is the Hotel Grace La Margna. Blending historical grandeur with contemporary 20th century sophistication, the property surrenders sweeping views of the snow-covered lake that glistens in the morning sun. Minutes away from the legendary Corviglia ski slopes, pristine runs await skiers of all levels. The boutique hotel’s first snow package runs until December 20 and includes room upgrades and ski passes for those who hang their hat at the property for at least three nights.
