The Alluring South

LUX team • January 18, 2021

A woman is on the cover of a luxury lifestyle magazine.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t’ do than the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain

As we set sail in 2021 we embark on what we all have been looking forward to - a new year with 2020 left far far behind, and with that Lux has a new new look. We hope you love it just as much as we do.

Although the south’s allure is not new, travelers have been wintering in the south for over 100 years, this year it takes on a whole new meaning and appreciation. As we spend more time traveling within the US and less time abroad there are so many wonderful places to visit. Luxury Travel phd takes us on an exploration of their favorites.

From bbq to a healthy shrimp and grits (who knew) to the mint julep, our feast section is filled with tasty tidbits. Do you know where the name cocktails even originated? After reading Born and Raised in the South by Melissa Corbin you will.

Of course, it is "the season" in Palm Beach and we have a peak into the newest on the scene. Nicole Peternel steps inside The White Elephant Hotel a Nantucket icon who recently opened its doors in Palm Beach as well as the new HMF restaurant at the Breakers Hotel. Lux loves all things beautiful and the aesthetics at both are just wonderful, not to mention the food and service. Enjoy the captivating south along with us.

Cheers!
