Best of AMAN HOTELS: Although Aman properties are generally the holy grail of luxury, comfort, and sheer chic style, one of the other hundred reasons we’d choose to stay at an Aman resort is for the adventure. Believe it or not, there are a handful of Aman destinations that stand out above all else when it comes to pushing your limits. We’re not talking about the stuff you can do in your hometown – we’re thinking more along the lines of camel polo and Via Ferrata routes.

And let’s face it, you dream of the same.

Top Places to Travel: PAWS UP, MONTANA . . . Montana is a breath of fresh air, and Paws Up is no exception. The 37,000-acre private working ranch a complete change of pace – and don’t let the word “ranch” throw you for a spin: these people know how to provide a luxury experience. Their goal was to change the idea of “roughing it” to “roughing it in style.” But at Paws Up, no one’s “roughing” much of anything.

Top Places to Travel: PALM SPRINGS, CA . . . If you’re wondering who the property was built for, the answer is Dinah Shore, the 1940s American singer and actress. If you’re asking, ‘who vacationed there?’ the list includes names such as Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, and Elvis Presley. But when it comes to, ‘who owns the place now?’ it’s one of our favorites: Leonardo DiCaprio.

Top Places to Travel: ISTANBUL . . . Six Senses resorts are known to be where history meets hospitality. But now that they’re opening a location in Bosphorus Strait, Istanbul, they may need to change their slogan.
