Whether it’s a tent camp or luxury accommodation, Italy or Mexico, there’s something for everyone in our Travel News of the Month.
Places
Blue Lagoon
As a child, we all dreamed of having our own tree house. And ever since we heard about the Hotel Boca de Agua in Mexico, this dream has been rekindled. On the Yucatan Peninsula, between lush jungle and crystal-clear lagoon, the tree house-like accommodation blends into the surroundings. Here you become one with nature. However, despite the luxury accommodation, nature should be left in peace as much as possible: 90 percent of the surroundings are part of a protection and regeneration program.

Nice to Have
Ready for the island
Off to Ibiza! If you can’t physically follow this call, the book “Ibiza Bohemia” will help. The spirit of the island is captured so vividly page after page that, with a little imagination, you almost feel like you’re on the beach. And to make your mind’s eye flicker even more vividly as you leaf through the pages, we light the scented candle that goes with the book.

Unfuck the World
Campfire romance
We all know that air travel is not climate-friendly. Camping in the wilderness sounds more like being in harmony with nature. However, camping and outdoor equipment is often not produced fairly and sustainably. Elisa Fuchs and Patrick Lenzbauer from Graz have a solution:
In their online store Ethicamper, camping enthusiasts can find everything they need for an adventure in the great outdoors – made from fair production and sustainable materials. As the couple enjoy being out in nature themselves, you can trust their tips: The pair compare and test every product themselves. Only if they can ethically and morally justify an offer does it end up in their online store. So, browse through Ethicamper, pack your rucksack and off you go!

Crush
We don’t really want to know how roughly our luggage is handled while we’re sitting comfortably on the plane sipping tomato juice. The suitcases from Crash Baggage make sure that you don’t see any of this: they are already properly dented – and thanks to their polycarbonate shell, they can withstand a lot. We have a real crush on the bright green version, which was created in collaboration with MSGM. We are the first to spot our belongings in the baggage claim area.

We Love
Amore
This summer we are booking a room at the Windsor. No, not with the royal family in England. Liguria is home to the Windsor Hotel, which can easily compete with the British castle in terms of luxury and comfort. Rooms with sea views, the hotel’s own bar and the historic village of Laigueglia just around the corner – you’ll definitely feel like royalty.

Tent camp
Camping is romantic – if it weren’t for bugs, mud and hard ground. For all those who would prefer to take their bed at home with them on an outdoor adventure, “Thule Outset” is the right choice. The tent for the trailer coupling takes the journey from the camp feeling to glamping. It is easy to assemble, has a soft integrated mattress and offers a panoramic view.

Planning a summer in Italy? Maybe this hotel in Venice is something for you.
