The Residence at The Loren on Pink Beach⛱️ This 6 bedroom beachfront Bermuda villa became famous when The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City had a throw down here😂

THERE IS NO ADDRESS ON THE ISLAND MORE DESIRABLE😎

The Loren has set a new standard for contemporary luxury on Bermuda, and The Residence is perhaps the ultimate example. The six-bedroom home measures 10,700 square feet and sits on 5.5 acres adjacent to the resort. With its own private beach, tennis court, pool, chef’s kitchen, and media room, among other features, it is the ultimate vacation home.

This week we are kicking off a Japan trip for a fa

This week we are kicking off a Japan trip for a family of 4 as a graduation present 🇯🇵. While chatting with our client she had a lot of great questions, and I wanted to share some tips for planning Japan. I have travelled to Japan personally, and lived with a Japanese family while studying their language in college. Let me tell you there is a lot to know and understand about the culture! This is not the type of trip that you want to just wing it. Japan is safe and clean and a GREAT place to take children. From Sumo to Anime to the infamous gaming districts; this country is wonderful for kids. There is a major language barrier 😃

A few tips:
-Cherry blossom seasons is late March to early Arpil typically, and their peak season
-May is a great time to visit, except fo the first week which is a holiday.
- Always plan part of your stay in a Ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn)
-Prepare your tastebuds (and definitely your children’s) for the wonderful and unusual tastes of Japanese food
-Manners- it is considered impolite to speak loudly in public places
- Shinkansen- take the world famous bullet train
- Get outside of the big cities! Get to know Japan by leaving Tokyo and Kyoto, trust me, you will see a completely different version of Japan!

As a culture, the Japanese are the kindest people. DM to begin your trip to Japan today!

Oh Portugal I could just explore all day and see the beautiful tiles throughout the cities. Portugal has been a popular spot for Americans over the last decade. With this influx of tourists, it's our job to find the "off the beaten path" experiences for our clients so they get to know the real Portugal.

This week, we have been working on a June trip for a family of 3. We found out what interests this family has and tailored a trip for their interests. Here are the highlights:

-Private walking food tour in Lisbon

-Private Sintra Coastline walking tour with lunch

-Father/son fishing trip

- 2 Hrs Private sailing cruise in Lisbon;
Port Wine Lodge visit and wine tasting

-Winery visit with premium wine tasting

-Private Vintage Boat cruise with lunch

-Dinner reservations at 2 Michelin Star restaurants

Budget 💸- the question everyone hates and no one knows the answer! We get it! Just as you set aside money to decorate a room, a vacation needs a budget too. At Travel Modern we tailor your vacations to your budget and likes. This is not a canned trip that you can buy online or AI, we carefully select the destinations, hotels and types of excursions to maintain your budget⛱️

I don't know about you, but I have been dreaming of fall weather and wide open spaces (and by open spaces, I don't mean the soccer fields I have been standing on for kids' soccer for 2 months). Dude ranch vacations are the perfect way to reconnect with family and friends over the holidays. Watch the leaves change, plan horseback, fishing & hiking trips. Take a break to reconnect by disconnecting.

At Travel Modern, we have a handful of wonderful properties we enjoy booking for clients. Some are family oriented and some are adults only.
Brush Creek is set on 30,000 acres of working cattle ranch in Wyoming’s Sierra Nevada mountains, Brush Creek Luxury Ranch Collection offers an authentic ranch experience with a flare for luxury. Surrounded by the grandeur of the Great American West, a stay here offers a pause from modern life – especially nowadays – where you can reconnect with the land and experience activities with childlike joy.

Tag a friend or family member who would love a Dude Ranch Vacation🔥

Virtuoso Amenities include:
-Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
-Daily Breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, served in the hotel restaurant
-$100 USD equivalent Resort or Hotel credit
-Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability
-Complimentary Wi-F
