THE PRIVATE ESCAPE
Conceived by architect Manuel Aires Mateus, Pa.te.os is a quartet of minimalist geometric vacation homes tucked at the end of a country road in the Alentejo. Filled with natural light, the interiors were designed to emphasize the outdoors: floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors offer views of the low-lying Arrábida hills and the Atlantic shimmering on the horizon, while the surrounding landscape, with its gnarled oak trees and abundant vegetation, makes the place seem breathtakingly wild. Each of the four exclusive-use houses comes with breakfast service and a triangular infinity pool - but for ocean swimming, the town of Comporta and its pristine beaches are a 30-minute drive away. Villas from $611.

DESTINATION OF THE YEAR Thailand
Full disclosure: I didn't like Bangkok at first. I didn't get it—the chaos, the traffic, the fact that everything was hard to find. But like all good love affairs, my relationship with Thailand—which deepened when I moved from Vietnam 12 years ago to work at Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia, where I'm now editor in chief—took time to blossom.
