November is almost here. Asking yourself where you should travel to next month? HAP Founder Brandon Berkson shares his November-time recommendations below. ⬇️
Lisbon, Portugal:
Mild temperatures and sunny days are the November norm for Lisbon, Portugal. When here, shop the city's modish concept stores—we love Embaixada, which is situated in a storied building's courtyard; make an appearence at luxe, design-forward restaurant & boutique, JNcQOI; learn about traditional Portuguese-style architecture at the National Azulejo Museum; and peruse the palatial grounds of nearby Palacio dos Marquesas da Fronteira.
TO STAY:
If you love clean contemporary design, poolside lounging with cityscape views, and upmarket accommodations, then Memmo Principe Real is perfect.
Atacama Desert, Chile:
Reopening on November 1, Chile is a must-visit. Check out the Atacama Desert, where moon-like landscapes, start-abundant skies, salt flats, and colonial-style towns like San Pedro de Atacama exude beauty.
TO STAY:
Tierra Atacama
is a boutique, eco-conscious hotel employing breathtaking contemporary design in the middle of the desert. Guests looking for adventure can opt to hike or horseback ride when at the hotel, and those seeking rejuvenation can head to the Uma Spa for tantalizing treatments.
Taos, NM, USA:
This New Mexican mountain town is known for its adobe-style architecture and Native American roots. Visit the Kit Carson Home & Museum, stroll the galleries of Taos' historic district, and perfect for November, witness the last month of fall foliage, before the primary ski season starts.
TO STAY:
Ojo Caliente Resort is all about nourishment: homey southwest-style accommodations, healing on-site hot springs, and a detoxing spa do the trick.
Okanagan Valley, BC, Canada:
November sees the leaves turn yellow, orange, and red in Southwestern Canada's Okanagan Valley. Plus, its wine scene is top-notch—among many other wineries, we adore Mission Hill Winery.
TO STAY:
Peaceful and secluded, family-owned Burrowing Owl Winery hosts 11 rooms surrounded by vineyards.
