There are those who seek peace, those who seek glamour, those who seek a place where the sea meets culture. But if there is one thing that unites everyone, it is the desire to set off towards a destination that has not already been seen. For summer 2025, luxury is moving towards authentic experiences, less crowded places and tailor-made services. Here are five destinations, between Italy and the world, that promise a season out of the ordinary.
1. Pantelleria ndash; Wild and sophisticated Sicily
It is the island you don't expect. Raw, black, magnetic. Pantelleria is the choice of those who shun fashion, but want the best. Dammusi immersed in capers, natural thermal waters and wine tasting at sunset: here luxury is silent.
2. Hvar Island ndash; Discreet and trendy Croatia
A less photographed but equally brilliant alternative to Capri. Hvar combines white pebble beaches, designer cocktail bars and contemporary design hotels. All just a stone's throw from the Dalmatian coast.
3. Comporta ndash; Portugal in technicolor
Dunes, pine forests and minimal chic farmhouses: Comporta is the summer refuge of Europe's creative bourgeoisie. Not far from Lisbon, it retains a rural soul with an aesthetic studied down to the millimetre.
4. Palau ndash; Sardinia between granites and granites
It's not just a port for La Maddalena: Palau is a privileged point of view on the most authentic Gallura. Boutique hotels with a sea view, water sports and barefoot dinners on the beach tell another way of experiencing Sardinia.
5. Kyoto drsquo;summer ndash; spirituality; between gardens and yukata
For those who want a truly different summer, Japan is a journey into slowness. In Kyoto, between temples and traditional festivals, beauty becomes ritual. With resorts that blend Zen, technology and age-old hospitality.
