Orlando Luxury Travel For Adults, Families and Business Travelers: The Loews Portofino Bay Resort

Filed under: celebrity travel, wine, adventure travel, culinary tourism, chef, Orlando Luxury Travel, Orlando Luxury Resort, Orlando Family Travel, Orlando Dining — luxurytravel @ 2:42 pm

 

 

Orlando is a great destination for family travel and luxury adult vacation. With nightlife, golf, spa, entertainment and great dining options, Orlando has made it on the map as one of the best luxury destinations.

journeyPod had the pleasure to stay at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal, a property that boasts impressive Italian decor and service. Reminiscent of Portofino, Italy, the hotel sends guests on a journey to the Almalfi coast (minus the passport).

Send the kids to Campo Portofino and indulge in a spa treatment, room service, bocci ball, fine dining and entertainment. Lay by the villa pool with cucumbers on your eyes, in an Italian garden, and truly feel like you have traveled miles away from home.

Enjoy nightly opera performances and let “Mamma” cook for you at Mamma Della’s, an authentic Tuscan restaurant in the heart of the piazza.

Only a water taxi ride away from Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, City Walk, Loews Pacific and the Loews Hard Rock Hotel - Loews Portofino Bay Resort is the ideal getaway for any type of traveler!

Your Own Piece Of Paradise - Six Senses Hideaway Ninh Van Bay

Filed under: luxury travel, exotic destinations, Asia Travel, Luxury Resorts, Spa, Honeymoon Destination, celebrity travel, celebrity chefs, food, wine, adventure travel, culinary tourism, chef, Fiji Resorts, Fiji Honeymoon Bures — luxurytravel @ 11:28 am
journeyPod is your guide to luxury travel around the world. And around the world and a boat ride later is where we found a “hideaway”, an island tucked away off the coast of Nha Trang, Vietnam in the middle of the South China Sea.

Ever dream of your own private beach villa, complete with private pool, and private beach, and butler that answers to your every whim? Dream no further. journeyPod has found it for you!

Nha Trang, Vietnam, capital of Khánh Hòa province, is located about 280 miles north of Saigon. After you’ve trekked around Nha Trang and experienced the fascinating culture, the incredible food, and the most accommodating people, head to a place of total relaxation and privacy. A place so exclusive you need a private boat to travel there. And once you are there, you have nothing to do but relax. journeyPod recommends a Thai massage, performed by Tam, over a babbling brook.

journeyPod sat down with Six Senses Hideaway Ninh Van Bay’s GM, Godfrey Vas, for an inside look at this amazing island property. Although there are only 58 villas on theis island resort, they staff at Hideaway numbers over 470!  That’s more than 7 staff for each villa…talk about service!

Six Senses Hideaway Ninh Van Bay sister property is located about 30 minutes via boat across the bay on the mainland.  Ana Mandara is another journeyPod pick.  Be sure to check out the Ana Mandara podcast from a previous show.

For now, I’ll leave you with the tropical sounds of Sugar Fix and their song “Private Island”.

Filed under: luxury travel, celebrity chefs, food, wine, bars, culinary tourism, chef, portland restaurants, portland nightlife, portland luxury travel, portland luxury travel, oregon wine, pinot noir, breweries, vineyards — luxurytravel @ 12:05 pm

journeyPod and Foodtrekker have teamed up to explore the culinary hub of Portland, Oregon. Portland is a big small city with a wide variety of unique neighborhoods. Each neighborhood tells a unique story and the people around you are extremely friendly and laid back.

Take the MAX transit system to the neighborhoods of Hawthorne, Sellwood and Alberta or drive an hour to the nearest beach, volcano, mountain, vineyard or brewery.

Erik Wolf, President and CEO of the International Culinary Tourism Association and Publisher of Foodtrekker.com explains that culinary tourism is more than a 5-star restaurant and focuses on the culinary culture of a city - chefs, local ingredients, cooking schools, recipes, etc.

Sip on a Depth Charge or Mexican Coffee at Coffee People. Enjoy a Pineapple Habanero Martini at Vault and Clark Lewis and let your tastebuds hop around at one of Portland’s many Breweries like the Alameda Brewing House.

Enjoy podsafe artist Allison Crowe and her hit “This little bird”.
