7 Best Airbnbs in Slow-Paced, Sun-Splashed Sardinia
Slow-paced, sun-splashed, and teeming with natural wonders, it's no surprise that Sardinia is famed as the site of the first ever identified Blue Zone region. Travelers in search of la dolce vita need not look much further than Sardinia's exquisite selection of Airbnbs for a sense of the elusive secret to a long, healthy, and happy life. As the second-largest Mediterranean island, narrowly missing out on the top spot to its noisier sister, Sicily, this glamorous Italian outpost flaunts more than 1,200 miles of white sand and polished pebble coastline—and yet there's so much more to Sardinia than just its beaches.
Acres of vineyards recount a wine history that dates back thousands of years, while the rugged mountains and hills are peppered with hiking trails and archaeological phenomena. Italian cuisine is always popular, but the intense and rustic nostalgia of Sardinia's restaurants leads even the most seasoned tastebuds into new territories. With such a dense culture to unpack on this Italian island, Airbnbs are essential to really get under the skin of the place, not to mention to meet the lovely locals. Whether you're seeking an escape to the coast or countryside, below are seven of the best Sardinia Airbnbs to tick off your travel bucket list.

Antonio Marras Resort 2026 Collection
What makes Antonio Marras a unique presence in fashion is his ability to tell stories imbued with visceral authenticity.'Flying over Porto Conte with Antoine and Consuelo' is a journey that begins and ends in Alghero, the Sardinian city where the Marras family has its roots. 'This land is an inexhaustible source of richness, always offering stories we can draw from,' the designer said. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry—the famous French writer and aviator—spent the final months of his life in Alghero, and Marras's resort collection was born from imagining that his beloved wife Consuelo Suncín-Sandoval Zeceña de Gómez joined him there by air, flying the very same aircraft her husband used during his missions. A Salvadoran writer, painter, sculptor, and artist, she studied art in San Francisco. In Mexico, she met Diego Rivera; in Paris, she spent time with André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Balthus, Max Ernst, and Picasso. Salvador Dalí was one of her dearest friends. In the United States, she opened her home to Ingrid Bergman, Jean Gabin, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, and Jean Renoir. She was the inspiration for The Little Prince, and in this collection, Marras imagined the wardrobe she would have packed for a journey to an island where the wind tousles your hair. Embodying the romanticism of a vaguely dandyish femininity, the collection takes shape through embroidered pinstripes, damask fabrics, and plaid cottons; rubberized flowers and aged-effect leathers; sculpted silhouettes, hidden pleats, and balloon volumes; faded denim, kimonos, and sheer fabrics. Faux furs are made of silk, knitwear is adorned with appliqués evoking a starry sky or worked in jacquard depicting a postcard of the dome of San Michele in Alghero, while patchworks of floral prints recall the island's wild flora. The colors reflect a landscape seen from above, where nature spreads across the warm tones of the earth and the airy blues of the sky; a bordeaux shade stitches it all together.

This Is How Long Travelers Hold Their Bowels and Bladder While Traveling, Survey Finds
There are a lot of things that can throw off your digestion while traveling. From the airplane ride itself to eating new foods in your destination that are far from your typical meals, it's no surprise when our tummies get a little upset. The key thing to know here is that it's nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, a new QS Supplies survey shows that 51 percent of travelers experience "digestive changes" while traveling. But that's not the wildest stat it found. In March, the online bathroom warehouse brand, released the findings of its Toilet Troubles While Traveling Study, which surveyed more than 1,000 UK and American travelers to learn the "unfiltered truth about what really happens when nature calls on the go." The most critical piece of information this survey found is that if you're a traveler it's important to try to overcome any fear of public toilets, which is a real diagnosable disorder known as parcopresis, or "shy bowel syndrome," which the IBD News Daily explains, is "the inability to defecate in public." It noted that while the American Psychiatric Association doesn't officially recognize parcopresis, it does consider paruesis (aka shy bladder syndrome) a social anxiety disorder. Paruesis impacts up to 16.4 percent of people. The reason it's critical to address this before traveling is because the QS Supplies survey found that the average traveler will hold their bladder and bowels for 83 minutes if they are traveling instead of using an unfamiliar toilet. It also noted that "one in five travelers hold it for more than two hours before using an unfamiliar toilet." The survey stated that 89 percent of respondents said they hold it over "cleanliness concerns," followed by 60 percent citing "bad smells" and 53 percent citing "no toilet paper or soap." "Brits tend to hold it longer than Americans, waiting 90 minutes on average before using an unfamiliar toilet while traveling, compared to 79 minutes for Americans," the team shared in the findings. "This hesitation extends to the air as well, where opinions on in-flight etiquette vary. More than half of travelers (52 percent) believed people should never fart on an airplane and should hold it in, with Americans (54 percent) more likely than Brits (47 percent) to agree." Again, can't stress enough, science says to please just pass the gas. You can hurt yourself holding it in. Still, the respondents to the QS Supplies survey certainly had feelings about other people's stomach issues. Nearly 1 in 5 respondents (19 percent) said that passengers with "particularly smelly farts should be removed from a flight, while 29 percent of travelers said they should be "reimbursed for sitting next to someone who farts, with Americans (33 percent) more likely than Brits (24 percent) to feel entitled to a refund." This, despite the fact that 40 percent of respondents also stated they have experienced a bathroom emergency while traveling. So yes, digestive drama on the road is more common than you think and remember: we're all human and none of this has to be as embarrassing or scary as it seems. Just maybe don't skip the pre-boarding bathroom break if you've got the chance.

Next-Level Room Service: 7 Hotels With Extraordinary In-Room Dining
Room service has long been a hallmark of hotel luxury, but in today's ultra-competitive hospitality landscape, some hotels are going off-menu and thinking outside the box. Room service isn't what it used to be getty Perched high above Central Park South, Preferred Hotels & Resorts' member Park Lane New York is a reimagined icon in the heart of Manhattan, offering cinematic views of the skyline and a bold new take on modern luxury. It's also home to one of the city's most extravagant in-room experiences: the Caviar Hotline. Guests simply dial '5' from their room phone, and a decadent spread of Bemka Royal Ossetra Caviar arrives at their door, alongside all the traditional trimmings like crème fraîche, blinis, and even chicken nuggets. Set in a grand townhouse near the Spanish Steps, Portrait Roma is a quietly opulent boutique hotel known for impeccable service and postcard-worthy views of the Trinità dei Monti. It also has a genius take on in-room dining: instead of one hotel restaurant, guests can sample dishes from over 15 of Rome's best eateries (including Michelin-starred Il Pagliaccio; Enoteca La Torre Aroma; and Zia) all without leaving their suite. Nobu Hotels have always blurred the line between luxury lifestyle and culinary prestige, thanks to their legendary founder chef Nobu Matsuhisa. At every Nobu Hotel worldwide, guests can enjoy the restaurant's most iconic dishes—miso black cod, rock shrimp tempura, and yellowtail sashimi—all served right in their room. At Nobu Hotel London Portman Square, things go even further with the 'Nobu All Night' menu, available from 10:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Tucked away on Phuket's lush northwestern coast, Trisara is known for its privacy, palm-fringed villas and serene sea views, but it's also quietly revolutionizing the idea of in-villa dining. Their newest concept is a bespoke Cultural Street Market brought directly to you. Guests are treated to live food stations replicating the sights, sounds, and scents of a traditional Thai street market with stalls dishing out made-to-order Phad Thai, green papaya salad, satay skewers, tropical fruit platters, and coconut ice cream. With its hilltop setting, lush gardens and rare art collection, Rome Cavalieri, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel, feels every bit the Roman emperor's playground, and for those who want to feast like Caligula, the hotel offers an in-room Imperial Breakfast that's more like a tasting menu than a morning meal. This lavish 15-course spread includes Sicilian citrus lobster, black truffle scrambled eggs, tuna tartare on pineapple carpaccio, and canapés with everything from fried yolks to bottarga. Whether enjoyed in bed or on a private balcony, it's the ultimate way to start your day in the Eternal City. Located along Vietnam's Cam Ranh coast, Alma Resort is rethinking guests' morning coffee order with its immersive in-room Vietnamese coffee service. Here, a barista pedals up to your pavilion by bicycle, ready to handcraft your perfect brew in front of you. Choose from iced black or white coffee; bạc xỉu (Vietnamese style coffee, with more milk than coffee); or savory-sweet salted coffee. The experience is a nod to Vietnam's rich coffee heritage, as the country is the world's second-largest coffee exporter after Brazil. Nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps, The Brecon is a new chalet-style retreat known for its Wes Anderson design and all-inclusive service (a rarity in the Swiss Alps). Each night, post-ski and pre-dinner, the hotel's bartender makes the rounds with an old-fashioned bar cart, knocking on guests' doors to offer freshly made cocktails or a coupe of champagne. Both unexpected and endearing, this après room service trolley tradition has become so beloved that many guests make a point to be in their rooms at cocktail hour just to catch the moment.
