Dear JetSet Traveler,
After exploring more than 150 countries, one of the questions I hear most often is:
“Susan, what are your favorite luxury resorts?”
The answer isn’t always simple.

The secret to an unforgettable vacation isn’t just where you go—it’s when you go.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce Susan’s Elite List—my personal collection of extraordinary travel experiences, carefully selected to help you travel better, travel smarter, and travel elite.
Luxury Resorts at Their Best

In this first edition, I’ve selected five exceptional luxury resorts along with the ideal time of year to experience each one at its finest.
Each destination has earned a place on Susan’s Elite List because of its 1exceptional setting, outstanding service, and unforgettable guest experience.
Whether you’re dreaming of an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora, a romantic escape in St. Lucia, or a private villa in the Maldives, choosing the right season can make all the difference.

Planning Your Next Luxury Escape?
I’d love to help you find the perfect destination and create an unforgettable vacation tailored just for you.
