Beaches Turks & Caicos offers plenty of perks for travelers of all ages, making it a great overall recommendation. Windsurfing, kayaking, scuba diving and more keep guests busy, but the crown jewel of the property—the 45,000 square-foot Pirates Island Waterpark—absolutely steals the show for many, featuring adrenaline-pumping slides, a splash deck and a winding lazy river for all-day thrills.

All-inclusive rates extend to gourmet dining at the resort's 20 restaurants, ranging from Italian gastronomy at Mario's to freshly caught seafood at Schooners.
Beach at Ambergris Cay.
For an all-inclusive resort that doesn't skimp on luxury, Ambergris Caye offers stylish accommodations in a serene location. The journey to this exclusive, 1,100-acre island resort begins with a stylish private jet charter; once guests land, they can choose from oceanfront bungalows with heated pools to multi-level villas (including a massive estate that sleeps up to 20 guests). The all-inclusive rate includes all meals and premium liquors, as well as activities like beachside bonfires and picnics, yoga and fitness classes as well as a variety of non-motorized water activities. Those who love being immersed in local flora and fauna can try their hand at fishing, hiking or bird and whale watching; the sunset at Whale Watcher's Point is a not-to-be-missed highlight that's sure to dazzle onlookers.
Suite at Pine Cay Resort.
Seclusion is a priority at Pine Cay, a luxe private island resort located just on the edge of the world's third-largest barrier reef. Residents at the property's 12 beachfront rooms and suites are privy to two miles of private beach, ensuring ample peace and quiet under the sun. Elsewhere, personalized pampering sessions (think massages, body scrubs and more) can be had at the resort's Sand Dollar Spa, comprised of just two oceanfront treatment rooms. The property's 'Island Inclusive' rate covers a rotating menu of gourmet meals curated by chef Philipe Aubron; afternoon tea, fitness classes and other activities. For a full day of tropical festivities, join one of Pine Cay's complimentary snorkeling trips aboard a private catamaran, before winding down for the evening at a bonfire-lit barbecue after dark.
Blue Haven Resort exterior.
Kids under 12 stay, play and eat for free at Blue Haven Resort, making it a great value pick for families. The all-inclusive rate includes all drinks and dining at six international restaurants, plus full access to facilities at Alexandra Resort, its sister hotel. At Blue Haven, children can enjoy pickleball, snorkeling and jumping on water trampolines, while families can also kayak to explore neighboring Iguana Island. When parents want to sneak off for cocktails at the swim-up pool bar, the Fun Pals kids' program is also on-site to keep the little ones occupied with a rotating schedule of fun-filled games and arts and crafts. The breezy three-bedroom oceanfront suites, which come equipped with flat-screen TVs, fully stocked kitchens and washer and dryer units, are ideal for larger broods.
Exterior of Sailrock Resort.
Uniquely situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Caicos Bank, this intimate resort on the quieter island of South Caicos offers sweeping, turquoise ocean views around every corner. With meticulous but unobtrusive service and a deep connection to the community that surrounds it, the resort is an ideal romantic escape for couples, who can enjoy activities like boating excursions, guided ATV tours or mixology classes. When sunset rolls around, a private, romantic dinner on the beach is called for—just ask the concierge. All meals and select wines and liquors are included in the property's 'All Inclusive and All Luxury' Package, and the resort's honeymoon and proposal packages offer additional perks like complimentary welcome drinks and couples' massages.
Aerial view of COMO Parrot Cay.
COMO Parrot Cay is a favorite among A-listers—and it's easy to see why. Featuring lush residences and villas with private pools, accommodations are sleek, modern and stylishly minimalist, centering guests right in the middle of tropical seclusion. Wellness lovers will appreciate the rotating roster of visiting fitness experts, who offer private classes and dole out rejuvenating treatments; meanwhile, Asian-inspired holistic therapies soothe guests daily at the spa. Between the light-filled yoga pavilion, bike rentals, Pilates and workout classes, there's plenty offered to keep guests connected with their body and mind all throughout the premises, plus opportunities for extravagant at-sea expeditions via mangrove kayaking and private boat charters.

Prime Video's new action drama series looks like your next thrilling getaway — watch the first trailer now

Filmed in Italy, the streaming service's six-part series whisks us away to a luxury resort on the coast of Positano for a "gripping storyline, fast-paced action and comedy" (as Amazon bills it). The above "Hotel Costiera" teaser trailer was just released today (June 13), after a special preview of the series at the Taormina Film Festival. And, as a taste of what "Hotel Costiera" has to offer, it looks like we're on for a fun fall binge. We get a glimpse at the beautiful environs of the hotel, get to meet some of the hotel's guests, and get to see our hero, half-Italian former U.S. Marine Daniel De Luca (Williams), in action, both going hand-to-hand with some of the resort's problem guests or racing through the steets on a moped. It doesn't give much away about the show, but it's certainly set an intense precedent, and one that has my interest piqued. Like the look of "Hotel Costiera?"

In addition to dealing with the hotel's wealthy guests' problems, Daniel is also on the trail of Alice, one of the owner's daughters who disappeared a month earlier. Daniel must do everything he can to bring her home, but facing those who kidnapped the girl will be more challenging than any problem Daniel has ever faced."

Coordinated protests against tourism levels planned in Spain, Portugal and Italy
By Joan Faus and Corina Pons BARCELONA (Reuters) -Activists against overtourism are planning protests across Spain, Portugal and Italy on Sunday, with one group urging people to bring water pistols to the demonstration in Barcelona. Anger has been growing in southern Europe against what protesters say are excessive levels of tourism that they complain are forcing locals out of affordable accommodation, pushing up living costs and clogging up city centres. International travel spending in Europe is expected to rise by 11% to $838 billion this year, with Spain and France among the countries set to receive record numbers of tourists. Protests are planned in Barcelona and seven other Spanish cities, including Granada, Palma and Ibiza; Portugal's capital Lisbon; and the Italian cities of Venice, Genova, Palermo, Milan and Naples, according to announcements issued by several of the organising groups. Organisers, some of whom dismiss the counterargument that tourism brings jobs and prosperity, told Reuters that they wanted to build on scattered protests across Spain last year with the coordinated day of action. They are joining forces with groups in Portugal and Italy under the umbrella of the SET alliance - Sud d'Europa contra la Turistització, or Southern Europe against Overtourism - Daniel Pardo Rivacoba, spokesperson for Barcelona's Neighbourhoods Assembly for Tourism Degrowth, said. Some 26 million tourists swelled Barcelona's 1.6-million population in 2024. A survey conducted by Barcelona last year showed that 31% of residents considered tourism to be damaging, the highest figure on record. "When they (officials) say that we have to specialise in tourism, they are basically telling us that you have to get poorer so that other people can get richer," Pardo Rivacoba said, complaining of low pay and poor or non-existent contracts. ANTI-TOURIST GRAFFITI Graffiti saying "Tourists go home" has become an increasingly common sight across the Mediterranean city and Barcelona's tourism agency was spray painted on Thursday with a message about the planned protest. The agency said in an open letter published on Friday: "If you hear someone from Barcelona say, 'Tourists, go home', you should know that most of us don't think that way." It said the city welcomed tourists because they brought diversity, while underscoring the challenges brought by mass tourism and the measures taken to address them, such as a ban on tourist apartments and an ongoing tourism tax. Barcelona, which depends on tourism for 15% of its GDP, announced last year it would shut all short-term lets by 2028. The mayor said at the time rents had risen by 68% in the past 10 years and the cost of buying a house had risen by 38%, becoming a driver of inequality, especially among young people. Jaime Rodriguez de Santiago, head of vacation rental platform Airbnb for Iberia, said this week that Barcelona's restrictions scapegoated short-lets, which he said can help redistribute visitor flows to less crowded parts of a city. Catalonia's Socialist president also announced the expansion of Barcelona's airport this week, saying it was critical for the airport to become a major hub for intercontinental connections, drawing further condemnation from campaigners. Demonstrators have been urged to bring water pistols to the Barcelona protest, Pardo Rivacoba said, after groups squirted tourists last year in a protest that was criticised by the government and travel companies. A Catalonia regional police source said the force would guarantee the right to protest and citizens' right to move freely, but declined to comment further. The protest in Venice looks set to be more low-key, with one organiser saying members would display banners in two locations to denounce the impact of overtourism. "Each city in the SET network organises a demonstration in its own way," they said. While residents in Rome or Venice have staged anti-tourism protests, in poorer southern Italy a tourism boom is helping make some neighbourhoods safer and bringing much-needed cash.

The 8 best Little Italy neighborhoods in the U.S.
Frank DePasquale was a teenager in 1955 when his family left the foot of Mount Vesuvius in Naples to immigrate to Boston's North End. His father was chasing the Italian dream of expanding his company Ambrosio, now one of the world's biggest Italian confetti candy (Jordan almond) suppliers. Sadly, he passed away shortly after they arrived and never lived to see it. 'My lifelong ambition here is to make his dream of running Italian American businesses come true,' says DePasquale. Today, DePasquale is one of the 5.5 million Italians who immigrated to America between 1820 and 2004. He runs eight eateries in Boston's North End. In the Italian community, families (like his) pass down their beloved recipes. From Philadelphia's South 9th Street Italian Market to San Francisco's North Beach renaissance, and all the Chicago pizza in between—these are some of the most iconic Italian neighborhoods, with the best Italian restaurants, delis, markets, and bakeries in the United States. Mozzarella stretching, sausage stuffing, and a ceiling full of meat! Jo Franco is discovering what makes New York's Little Italy so authentic. Stream National Geographic's "Big Little Italy" now on YouTube. Click here to see the YouTube playlist for National Geographic's Big Little Italy. Little Italy, New York City Lower Manhattan's Little Italy was once the primary American settlement for Italian immigrants, reaching 10,000 Italians in 1910. After Chinatown moved in, Little Italy was pared down to five blocks on Mulberry Street. This is where travelers can still visit America's oldest pizzeria, (Gennero) Lombardi's (1905), the first Italian cafe, Ferrara Bakery (1892), and one of its original Italian restaurants, Barbetta (1906), serving Piemontese cuisine. Stop by the Scognamillo family-owned Patsy's (1944) in Frank Sinatra's old stomping grounds. The neighborhood hosts the annual Feast of San Gennaro in September with parades, live music, and street food like calzones and zeppole (fried dough). Meanwhile in the Bronx, often dubbed New York City's 'Real Little Italy,' Italian shops and restaurants—like Mario's—have lined Arthur Avenue for a century. Italian Americans shop at Arthur Avenue Market, developed by former Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia in 1940. In New York City, revelers hang out at the San Gennaro Festival in Manhattan's Little Italy neighborhood. The feast celebrates the life of San Gennaro of Naples, the Bishop of Benevento, Italy, who was martyred in 305 A.D.

Mantel/Redux North End, Boston Pillowy gnocchi baked with sweet marinara, buffalo mozzarella, and basil in a wood-fired oven is worth the indulgence at DePasquale's Bricco restaurant—especially when paired with pepperoncini juice in a hot and dirty martini topped off gorgonzola-stuffed olives.'My whole goal is to keep the traditions going, like the feast of the seven fishes the way we celebrated in Italy and Sunday dinners,' says DePasquale, who opened his first restaurant, Trattoria Il Panino, in 1987. 'It's keeping this neighborhood the way it was.' In the historic North End, between the 1680 home of Paul Revere and the Old North Church, there are over 100 Italian restaurants, most of which are still run by generational Italian immigrant families. With newcomers, some still occupy brick apartments above touristy outdoor eateries, like Boston's first Italian cafe, Caffé Vittoria, brewing since 1929; oldest Italian restaurant, Cantina Italiana; and first pizzeria, Pizzeria Regina, open since 1926. New restaurants, including renowned Italian chef Tony Susi's Little Sage, maintain old-world flavor. Bova's, Mike's, and Modern bakeries still compete in Boston's 'cannoli wars' for bragging rights, while Parziale's has been serving pizzelle since 1907. Take it all in on Prince Street, where Prince Spaghetti was first made by Sicilian immigrants in 1912 and later filmed for the famous commercial; on a North End Boston Food Tour by life-long North End resident Bobby Agrippino; or at the annual Saint Anthony's Feast in August. Boston's North End, a working-class Italian-American neighborhood, showcases an array of architectural styles including Italianate, colonial revival, Romanesque, and Renaissance revival. Photograph By Marcio Jose Bastos Silva/ Shutterstock North Beach, San Francisco The California Gold Rush drew Italian American stoneworkers to San Francisco to build mansions for the rich who'd struck gold. Sicilian anglers found blue seas off Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco Bay, and Italian businessmen opened anchors like Ghirardelli chocolate. After the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, Italian Americans brought into the city's North Beach neighborhood their legendary eateries, including Liguria, the city's oldest bakery with the best focaccia. From the tricolor crosswalks to the new Honor Walk celebrating local notable historic Italian Americans, what's clear is San Francisco's Little Italy is experiencing a renaissance. Find all pizza styles at Tony's Pizza Napoletana owned by Guinness World Record Holder pizza tosser Tony Gemignani, and visit Fior d'Italia, open since 1886 and touted as the country's oldest Italian restaurant. Italian foodies have a lot to consider, from the rum-soaked St. Honore sponge cake at Victoria Pastry Company, the tiramisu at Stella Pastry & Cafe, and the Italian marionette show and pizza acrobatics at Festa Italiana. Although not located in San Francisco's Little Italy, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company was founded by Italian chocolatier, Domenico Ghiradelli in 1852. Ghirardelli was born in Rapallo, Italy, and moved to California during the Gold Rush. Photograph By F11 Photo/ Shutterstock Little Italy, Chicago While pizza was first rolled out around the 6th century B.C., Chicago gets credit for its sink-your-teeth-in pizza crust. Americans inspired by pizza-tossing Neapolitan-Italians created the first deep-dish 'Chicago-style' pizza at the original Pizzeria Uno in 1943. Italians who settled in the Windy City came looking for factory jobs in the 1800s and settled in the Little Italy neighborhood of the city's Near West Side, where Italian American heritage remains strong on Taylor Street at Conte di Savoia and the family-run Pompei. Chi-town's second claim to Italian food fame—the thin-sliced Italian beef sandwich with au jus—was invented at Al's Beef by Tony Ferreri in 1938. For a James Beard award-winner try Tufano's Vernon Park Tap; for the red-sauce joint go to Peanut Park Trattoria; and for little romance, it's been The Village at Italian Village since 1927. In Chicago, food lovers can try a delicious deep-dish pizza at several restaurants around the city, including Malnatti's Restaurant on Rush Street. Photograph By Robert Haidinger/laif/Redux Little Italy, Cleveland Many Italians who came to Ohio via New York City followed in the footsteps of Joseph Carabelli. The stonecutter arrived from Lombardy in 1880, and today, the monuments he carved still stand proudly beside Cleveland's Little Italy. The original Italian neighborhood developed by Sicilian immigrants disappeared to urban renewal after World War II. Carabelli's neighborhood greets visitors with longstanding establishments, like Guarino's, established in 1918 and still family-run. Mama Santa's is the spot for a Sicilian slice and if it's chicken marsala you're after, go to La Dolce Vita, where you can still catch live opera performances. Cap off the meal with cappuccino and biscotti at Presti's, Cleveland's oldest bakery, or grab a cannoli from Corbo's. The West Side Market is considered the oldest operating market space in Cleveland, Ohio.

Stewart, Nat Geo Image Collection Little Italy, San Diego Italian families first came to San Diego in the 1920s for tuna fishing—a longstanding Sicilian tradition. This northwest Little Italy neighborhood went quiet for years, until its revival through Italian urban public art, waterfront green space, and events—thanks to its Little Italy Association. Tucked in among over 70 Italian food establishments is the award-winner that helped bring the neighborhood back to life in 2003, Market By Buon Appetito. Other gems include Enoteca Adriano, Pappalecco (serving Italian coffee, gelato, and paninis), and Vincenzo Cucina & Lounge and its pasta bar. There's also a farmer's market open twice a week and a European-style gathering space, Piazza della Famiglia. The Little Italy Association oversees and expedites the revitalization and beautification of the Little Italy neighborhood in downtown San Diego. Visitors will find trendy cocktail bars, restaurants with busy patios, upscale clothing boutiques, and indie music venues, but the weekly Little Italy Mercato Farmers' Market draws crowds. Photograph By Gabriele Maltinti / Shutterstock Bella Vista, Philadelphia Early Italian immigrants made Philadelphia's Bella Vista neighborhood a home. At the heart of this still-lively, charming neighborhood sits the country's oldest continually operating outdoor food market, South 9th Street Italian Market, established by early Italian immigrants living in Antonio Palumbo's boarding house. Two of the country's oldest continuously operating Italian restaurants reside in the market district: Ralph's (1900) and Dante & Luigi's Corona di Ferro (1899). Take an Italian American-led StrEATS of Philly Food Tour, and savor the sweet sfogliatelle (a flaky, shell-shaped, cream-filled pastry) at Isgro Pastries, and salty provolone and prosciutto at DiBruno Bros. market, opened in 1939 by Italian immigrants Dann and Joe Di Bruno. Philadelphia's South 9th Street Italian Market is the oldest working outdoor market in the U.S. Photograph By F11 Photo/shutterstock Federal Hill, Providence Anyone who has visited Providence knows that Italian roots run deep in Rhode Island's capital city. 'Growing up with my Italian grandparents was a gift—their homes were always filled with the aromas of simmering sauce, fresh pasta, meats, baked treats, and stories told around a crowded kitchen table,' says Rick Simone. Today, Providence's Federal Hill is still home to third- and fourth-generation Italians, feeding us like we're family at Camille's and Scialo Brothers Bakery. There's meat and cheese from the DiCicco family-owned Tony's Colonial Market, and Angelo's Civita Farnese—the city's oldest restaurant open since 1924. And don't forget the handmade pasta, kneaded for 80 years now at Venda Ravioli and fourth-generation meat market Antonelli Poultry. 'Italian food wasn't just a meal. It was a celebration of love, family, and tradition,' says Simone. 'Those early experiences taught me the deep value of connection, and they continue to shape everything I do today.'
