Charting New Horizons

Nestled along Great Bay on the eastern edge of St. Thomas, this is Caribbean sailing culture at its most seductive: turquoise waters shifting endlessly beneath the sun, catamarans drifting toward the horizon and secluded coves hidden just beyond the next headland. Aboard the resort’s private catamaran, Lady Lynsey II, guests move easily between neighboring islands, carried farther into the irresistible pull of the open sea.

At The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort, the boundary between sea and sky feels almost indistinguishable. Beneath the resort’s overwater villas, crystalline lagoon waters ripple with tropical marine life, while days drift between outrigger canoe excursions, encounters with reef sharks and rays, and long afternoons spent watching sunlight dance across the water's surface from a private terrace.

With its pastel harbors, crystalline Atlantic waters and centuries-old maritime culture, Bermuda has long drawn travelers toward the sea. Perched above the historic town of St. George’s, The St. Regis Bermuda Resort places guests at the edge of that enduring sailing tradition, where sleek yachts drift across clear waters and the rhythm of island life still feels deeply tethered to the harbor.

Rising like a sail above Darling Harbour, W Sydney places one of the world’s great waterfront cities at your doorstep, with a scenic waterside trail leading to Sydney Opera House, the Royal Botanic Garden and Circular Quay. Ferries cut across the harbor, SailGP catamarans skim the shoreline and the energy of the marina pulses well into the evening.

Set along the postcard-perfect Halifax waterfront, Muir reflects Nova Scotia’s enduring connection to the sea through local craftsmanship, warm design and experiences rooted in Atlantic seafaring. Explore the rugged coastline aboard Little Wing, the hotel’s 36-foot private yacht, or feel the salt spray and ocean wind on your skin on the 24-foot motorboat.

On Lake Como, the lake itself sets the pace. From The Lake Como EDITION’s private dock, sleek wooden boats trace elegant paths across jewel-toned waters toward centuries-old villas and charming lakeside towns framed by cypress-covered hillsides. Blending refined contemporary design with the convivial spirit of the Italian lake lifestyle, the hotel offers a more modern perspective on Como’s enduring allure.
