In three days on Taj Exotica's sweeping lagoon, Robyn Foyster discovers that its true spectacle lies not on the horizon but beneath the waterline, where reef sharks, eagle rays and mantas glide through water of neon blue-to-green tourmaline.
A flock of white birds fall like confetti from the sky, darting in and out of the…
Hotels & Resorts
From dreamy romantic resorts and serene mountain hideaways to sleek city boutiques, find your perfect stay on Women Love Travel.
I struggle with the same dilemma every single time I book a hotel. It's a throwback to a stint in my twenties spent surviving on smuggled hostel breakfasts stretched to cover lunch, and FlixBuses timed to cross entire European borders overnight so I wouldn't have to pay for a bed.
So even now - older,…
Some hotels impress you. Faena? Faena messes with your whole nervous system - in the best way.

Hyatt’s Andaz brand will make its Australian and Pacific debut on the Gold Coast in late 2026. The new Broadbeach hotel will feature 202 rooms and suites, Mediterranean-inspired dining and an expansive pool club. The arrival comes as the Gold Coast continues to redefine its luxury offering.

Some people talk about ideas. Amanda Archer builds them.
I've known Amanda for years — we worked together closely, and I saw first-hand what she's capable of. About a decade ago, we pulled off something most editors only dream about: exclusive interviews with Paris Jackson and her grandmother Katherine Jackson. And I flew to Los…
I have been romantically unemployed for an extended period of time. And having achieved little success with the “It will happen when you least suspect it” strategy, I have instead adopted an alternative approach and actively committed a significant percentage of my energy to finding the love of my life, of late.
