Bicycling around Prince Edward Island is an idyllic experience, full of picturesque views and great seafood. (I fell in love with the abundance of boldly-hued lupines lining the roads.)
Along the north shore, I discovered scenic North Lake, known as the World’s Tuna Capital, with its pristine oceanfront beaches and some blustery headwinds.
And yet another dessert that resembles a work of art, served at Raest in Torshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands. Sebastian Jimenez, who hails from Mexico, is one of the most creative chefs around. Presented here on a blue and white tile is a churro containing a dollop of white chocolate along with coriander seeds, and topped with cornflowers. Next to it is a typical triangular-shaped Mexican snack, but here it’s made with rhubarb juice.
Island hopping in the Faroe Islands is an idyllic experience. Transportation to get to the different islands can involve driving through wide subsea or narrow tunnels, or across causeways, flying in a helicopter, or boarding a ferry that can take anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple of hours.
I’ve now visited 10 of the 18 islands that make up the Faroe Islands. No matter where I roamed, I found nothing but stellar views. (That’s Koltur Island in the distance.)
ROKS is one of several delectable restaurants in Torshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands. This stunning dish is razor clam served raw in its shell and topped with foraged flowers. The two-story restaurant is centered around serving fresh-from-the-sea fish and seafood in two multi-course menus.
On the Faroe Islands, the roads that thread along a headland in the south of Eysturoy provide numerous picnic opportunities as well as stellar views of Nolsoy, the small adjacent island that is accessible by a short ferry ride.
I fell in love with the look of this town hall in the Faroe Islands. It’s located in the Eystur municipality and designed by the same architect who did Reykjavik’s stunning Harpa Hall. (You can walk across the grassy rooftop!)
Torshavn, the tiny waterfront capital city of the Faroe Islands, couldn’t be more atmospheric. No matter the weather, it always looks good and offers a warm welcome to this archipelago of 18 islands.
Divers and non-divers alike gravitate to the luxe Harbour Village Beach Club in Bonaire that’s just a few minutes from buzzy downtown Kalendijk. Yet, it seems world’s away, given the serene vibe on a property that feels like a botanical garden. Their restaurant is especially enticing, given their culinary offerings as well as the scenic waterfront venue with prime sunset views. This is my lastest for ForbesLife on this resort.
With spectacular sunsets and fine, creative cuisine, La Balandra, the al fresco restaurant at the Harbour Village Beach Club on Bonaire, is a must dining experience.
With its dramatic stained glass, St. Bernard Church is a serene retreat from the buzzing capital of Kralendijk.
