Where Do Cool People Vacation Now?

We Asked, You Answered

IT HAS been a burning question, circulating dinner parties and poolside: where do the cool people go on holiday now? There have been waves of vacation trends throughout the last few decades - from Saint Tropez’s golden era (once upon a time you couldn’t swing a Fendi Baguette without accidentally alarming a billionaire in the Côte d'Azur), to Palma, the Seychelles, the beautiful houses of Tunis, to remote resorts in Cancun. The people and places they went to have defined generations of cool folk.

But it’s 2024 and we are perplexed! By the time a holiday destination has become a trend, it ceases to be as desired by the world’s most discerning jetsetter. In search of answers, we asked our audience on Instagram to tell us where the fabulous people are vacationing now. This is what we received, unedited, and unfiltered:
