Made for summer.

This is the collection for the months when the good stuff moves outside. Places with an outdoor shower for cooling off, a garden that ends where the dunes start, a tub you can soak in ’til the stars come out. Some are a barefoot walk from the water. Some are a proper drive from anything, which is the whole point. All of them are the sort of place where you turn up planning to do a lot and end up doing very little, gladly.

All of these, somehow, still have some availability in August. Now that we know this summer’s a scorcher – it’s time to make your move. They won’t hang around much longer.
