Birthday Treats

Venice has played host to Aman’s canalside outpost for the past 10 years. To celebrate a decade of hospitality inside the 16th-century palazzo, Aman has curated a veritable festival of experiences, including chef-led tours of the Rialto market and private boxes for the opera at La Fenice, alongside dining courtesy of chef Norbert Niederkofler and excursions aboard the hotel’s elegant 1930s Art Deco-style Venetian launch. From $2,799 per night. aman.com

Between the Vines

When the South of France is too crowded and Paris uncomfortably warm, consider a weekend in wine country at Como Le Montrachet. Featuring 30 rooms situated across three heritage buildings hugging a quaint village square (and a stone’s throw from the nearest vineyard), this is a sensitive reimagining of the Hotel le Montrachet, a 19th-century “place du village” inn located in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet, Burgundy. Dabble in a cooking class or take the sommelier André Berthier up on his offer of private tastings before devouring seasonal, wine-paired menus at Le Montrachet restaurant. From approximately $690 per night. comohotels.com

The Getaway

If the bustle of the city gets too much, turn your gaze towards South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula — as close to the end of the earth as you can imagine. Here awaits Yambara (named for the Barngarla word for “away”, or “out of sight”), a designer-crafted tiny house nestled on the beachfront, with cinematic views of Sleaford Bay, Whalers Way and Lincoln National Park. Sink into bliss inside the zero-carbon sanctuary, whose modest footprint belies its luxurious finishes, such as handmade Moroccan tiles and oversized double-glazed windows that visually connect guests with the surrounding landscape and private beach. From $550 per night. eyreway.com
