Expedia’s 2025 Island Hot List has my wanderlust in overdrive! 🌴✈️
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
They’ve rounded up the top 10 islands to visit around the world—plus when to go and where to stay.

One of my favorites on the list? Sardinia, Italy! With its turquoise waters, incredible food scene, and laid-back Mediterranean vibe, it’s no surprise it made the list. (Fun fact: it’s also one of the world’s Blue Zones, where people live longer, healthier lives!)

What I love about using Expedia is how easy it makes planning your entire trip. Flights, stays, car rentals, and activities—it’s all in one spot, which means less time juggling tabs and more time daydreaming about your next island escape.

Did your favorite island make the list?

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
