wanderlust: areias do seixo
we’ve always wanted to travel to portugal. so much of the country seems to intrigue us. coincidentally, we just happened to have stumbled upon another reason to book our flights to what some call the gentle land. areias do seixo is a boutique hotel made up of 14 rooms on portugal’s costa de prata. just an hour away from lisbon lies this eco-conscious hotel with an eclectic vibe all its own. we are totally into the mix of rustic and contemporary decorative accents that make up the hotel decor and we love the fact that the hotel’s designers took inspiration from morocco and india (two other countries on our must visit list) when dreaming up the hotel.
there seems to be something truly special about this place, it’s got personality but it isn’t pretentious and the fact that the vegetables and herbs served at the hotel come from the hotel’s very own organic garden definitely is an added bonus. and have you seen the hotel bathrooms? swoon-worthy to say the least! let’s just say we’re brushing up on our portuguese…

wanderlust: hotel endémico
tucked away in the village of valle de guadalupe in baja california, hotel endémico seems to be the kind of place we wouldn’t mind spending a good week or two. the hotel is made up of 20 luxury cabins all situated on the hillside providing unobstructed views of the beautiful valley below. from a design standpoint, this hotel has so many elements we love and appreciate: simple clean lines, minimal decor, and an emphasis on natural materials and the natural surroundings. if these images don’t make you swoon at first glance we suggest you take a second look!
