Atlas Ocean Voyages creates junior suite category
Atlas Ocean Voyages said it is rebranding several staterooms as junior suites and introducing new amenities to distinguish and elevate their value. The staterooms transitioning into junior suites are the former Horizon, Horizon Deluxe and Veranda Deluxe accommodations. Each will now have "junior" in its name and together they will be branded as the Concierge Collection. In addition to welcome canapes and laundry service, guests in Concierge Collection rooms can access 10% savings on spa services, premium WiFi and the onboard boutique; priority access to the behind-the-scenes galley tour; and enhanced in-suite amenities. Guests in higher-tier staterooms will also access the Concierge Collection amenities. The cruise line decided to rebrand the suites and add new amenities to enhance the distinction between the midsize Concierge Collection staterooms and those with the smallest interiors: the veranda stateroom and adventure oceanview, said Jason O'Keefe, Atlas' senior director of guest experience and corporate communications. Adding amenities with the junior suites clarifies that they are a more premium option, O'Keefe said.

The Best Hotels in Marbella, Spain
The international luxury marques may be piling into Spain at breakneck speed, but none has yet achieved the status of the great Finca Cortesin. With 67 suites, Bali-esque pools, a Mediterranean-facing beach club, a vast spa, and a top-brass golf course, it's a paradigm of perfection on the cusp of Casares, a typical whitewashed town near Marbella. Finca Cortesin is more than the sum of its parts; each part has been created by someone of significant talent. Javier López Granados is the big-vision CEO-owner who pulls it all together; Rene Zimmer, the consummate managing director, also helms the new sister property Grand Hotel Son Net in Mallorca. Architects Roger Torras and Ignacio Sierra conceived this take on a classic Andalusian finca, which gleams sparkling white against the deep-blue Med and vivid flashes of potted geraniums. The sleek public spaces, filled to the rafters with antiques, were originally curated by the late, distinguished Portuguese decorator Duarte Pinto Coelho (after his death, the baton passed to exuberant Madrid-based antiquarian Lorenzo Castillo). Landscaper Gerald Huggan planted the perfumed and palm-studded gardens, replete with jasmine and wisteria. The inviting suites are the work of interior designer sisters Ana and Cristina Calderón, who dressed high-ceilinged rooms with bright pieces, boldly hued feature walls, vibrant bouquets, and paintings. To dine with Lutz Bösing, chef at El Jardín de Lutz, is to take a masterclass in classic Spanish cuisine, especially seafood such as a rich mantis shrimp cream soup with lobster and basil. —David Moralejo

You Can Glamp in a ‘Bee Pod' In Ireland—and It Has DIY Pizza, Seaweed Baths, and Easy Access to a Stunning Beach
The pods have an unbeatable location overlooking a beach that's within easy walking distance. The cozy spa has hot seaweed baths, considered to be one of Ireland's only Indigenous wellness therapies. The hosts serve rotating homemade breakfast boxes and evening dessert or cheeseboards every day. There are only five pods, all of which are adults-only, which makes for a very exclusive and relaxing experience. I've just finished hiking western Ireland's Sliabh Liag (pronounced as Slieve League), a nearly seven-mile coastal path that hugs the tips of sea cliffs that soar 1,972 feet in the air. It's chilly, the wind feels like it's trying to punish my very existence, and my knees are aching after a three-hour climb. But as I approach the seaside village of Rossnowlagh, located 50 minutes south in County Donegal, I can feel myself beginning to relax. Its crescent-shaped beach (a popular surfing location with Blue Flag status, a certification that means the water is clean and healthy) stretches for over two miles and is powdered with sand so fine it feels like touching silk. Undulating mountains and cliffs, including those that form the Sliabh Liag, hug the horizon so that it feels like you're standing on the inside of a massive bowl. And, camouflaged among the hills that gently roll down towards the shore, are the Bee Pods, a group of five luxury, adults-only glamping pods and my home for the next two nights. Founded in 2019 by Siobhan and William McGuckin, who also live on the property, the pods are completely ensconced in 3.5 acres of dense growth. The vegetation is not only very minimally landscaped but also actively planted in efforts to maintain and promote relaxation within the Irish wilderness—during my stay, William was in the process of planting 200 Golden Willows. The Bee Pods operate with sustainable principles in mind—the McGuckins shy away from weedkillers, continuously plant trees, plants, and bushes, and make their own fertilizers from plants such as seaweed, nettle, and comfrey. '[We were] inspired by a need to recreate that deep connection to the natural world and share it with others,' Siobhan McGuckin told Travel + Leisure . She and her husband have been living in the area for some 30 years. 'Sustainability is at the core of everything we do here.' Here, guests will find a pizza pod, spa, a family of pygmy goats, and several beehives from which more than 400 pounds of honey are harvested each year. The pods are also in a prime location. The Sliab Liag is roughly 50 minutes north, while the medieval town of Donegal is only a 15-minute drive away. During my time at the Bee Pods, I visited a craft village to purchase a souvenir from a local artisan, explored the 551-year-old Donegal Castle, and munched on fish tacos at local haunt Blas. Above all, I took time to decompress in my pod after more than a week of some pretty taxing sea cliff hiking, enjoying the views of Rossnowlagh Beach from my king-sized bed and luxuriating in a hot seaweed bath, one of Ireland's only Indigenous wellness therapies, that left my skin feeling baby-soft. The Bee Pods is a luxurious retreat to relax and recharge in the peacefulness of the outdoors, and the experience is only enhanced by the property's hosts, who exude a warm, classic Irish charm. Here's what it's like to stay at the Bee Pods in Donegal, Ireland. With only five pods, staying at the Bee Pods is a quiet, intimate experience. All pods are designed to blend into the hillside and come equipped with a kitchenette (peppered with small luxe touches like Nespresso machines and Smeg kettles), waffle bathrobes, and an outdoor seating area. I stayed in The Hive, the largest and most private of the five. The room came outfitted with a king-sized bed, a dining room area with sea views, and a bathroom that had a rainfall shower, Voya organic products, and underfloor heating. The Hive also had an expensive patio with a fire pit, a Big Green Egg barbecue put, and a clawfoot tub tucked beneath a heated overhang. There were also tables and chairs with stunning views of Rossnowlagh Beach—the perfect spot to listen to the waves and watch the sunset with a crisp Irish craft cider. Each pod also has at least one piece of upcycled furniture. The couch in The Hive, for example, belonged to Siobhan's great-grandmother, while a wooden side table in the spa area was William's grandmother's, and a beautifully-wrought wooden chessboard in The Queen B pod has been owned by the McGurkins for over 30 years. Make your own pizza at The Pizza Pod. Donegal Wedding Photographer/Ghorm Studio/The Bee Pods Every pod receives a welcome basket upon arrival. In mine, I found a small glass jug of milk, two eggs snuggled in knitted beanies, homemade marshmallows for roasting over the fire pit, homemade granola, and a small jar of honey from the property's very own bees. Every morning, the hosts stop by with a wooden box holding some breakfast treats that Siobhan herself prepares. Offerings rotate every day, but guests can expect food and drink like freshly-squeezed orange juice, overnight oats topped with berries, and parfaits, as well as croissants, ham and cheese toasties, or eggs. In the evenings, Siobhan will leave cheese or dessert platters to snack on. The Bee Pods also have their own dedicated pizza pod with an Ooni pizza oven. For a small fee, you can request prerolled dough and pizza sauce, which Siobhan purchases in person from an Italian restaurant in Dublin, to make your own pies—all you need is to bring the toppings of your choice. For those who may not want pizza or to drive to Donegal for dinner, the pods come equipped with kitchenettes, and the grounds feature a greenhouse with vegetables and herbs that guests can freely pick for their meals. The seaweed baths treatment. Asia Palomba/Travel + Leisure The spa area is small but cozy, and has two clawfoot tubs that overlook an enclosed sandy garden area with lounge chairs. For roughly $40, guests can book a hot seaweed bath. You will need to fill out a quick health consent form beforehand, and bookings can be made in advance or once you arrive at the property. When I took mine, the spa was lit with sweet-smelling candles, and Siobhan left out some water and fruit snacks for me to munch on. The bath may smell a bit briny at first, but the seaweed releases many minerals, like magnesium and zinc, into the water that are great for moisturizing the skin and hair. Don't be shy about rubbing the seaweed all over your body and face, and it's recommended not to shower for a few hours after your bath so that your skin can really absorb the seaweed's oils. I left my first Irish spa experience feeling rejuvenated and with incredibly soft skin. For guests who stay in The Hive pod, seaweed baths can also be arranged for the outdoor clawfoot tub. The Bee Pods is an adults-only property, so this hotel isn't the best choice for a getaway with the kiddos. Beach views can be seen from the patio. Donegal Wedding Photographer/Ghorm Studio/The Bee Pods The Bee Pods do not have any rooms that are specifically designed to accommodate guests with mobility issues. Additionally, wheelchair users may find parts of the property difficult to navigate. Sustainability is top of mind at the Bee Pods. For example, seaweed is only used once per guest. Once a bath is finished, Siobhan collects the seaweed, dries it, and then uses it as fertilizer, alongside nettle and comfrey, around the grounds. The property uses timber from their own trees for firewood, and plants at least 200 trees, plants, hedgerows, and wildflowers every year. 'This is for the bees, birds, and wildlife, [to provide] shelter for our pygmy goats, wild foxes, and other animals,' says Siobhan. There are also plans to install solar panels, rainwater collection systems, and electric charging facilities in the coming months. Scenic views of Rossnowlagh Beach from the Bee Pods. Asia Palomba/Travel + Leisure The Bee Pods are located in southern County Donegal and are within an hour's drive from many popular locations, both in County Donegal and in County Sligo. The nearest major airport, Donegal Airport (CFN), is about 55 miles away, or an hour and a half drive. The property is five minutes away on foot from Rossnowlagh Beach, a popular surfing location and one of Ireland's Blue Flag beaches. There's a surf school nearby for those who are interested in learning how to ride the waves. Roughly an hour north lies the Sliabh Liag and the fishing village of Killybegs, while the town of Donegal, Ireland, and its many restaurants and shops can be reached within 15 minutes. For those who are interested in venturing further, Northern Ireland is only an hour away, while attractions like Irish poet W.B Yates' grave, the six-mile Gleniff Horseshoe loop, and the surfing beach of Strandhill can all be reached in nearby County Sligo. Since the Bee Pods are independently owned, they're not a part of any hotel loyalty programs. They don't participate in any travel credit card programs, either. Guests should also keep in mind that the Bee Pods require a two-night minimum. It's recommended to book directly with the property for the best rates.
