Endless Summer: Keep The Vibe

Going at These 6 Spots

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Goodtime Hotel, Miami, FL

Daytime pool party more your style? Then head to The Pool at Strawberry Moon, the retro-cool, coral-hued pool at David Grutman of Groot Hospitality and Pharrell Williams’s newly opened hotel on South Beach. On the weekends, you’ll find a rotating roster of celeb DJs in the 30,000-square-foot pool space, along with an outdoor bar,  Strawberry Moon restaurant, and to top it off, VIP cabanas. Once you’re partied out, head back to one of the hotel’s 266 rooms, which have fun nostalgic details like pink rotary phones, printed robes, and leopard-print benches—not to mention some with water views of either the Atlantic or Biscayne Bay.

PUBLIC, New York, NY

Soak up all of NYC’s summer energy—and it’s been a good one—at PUBLIC on the Lower East Side, which reopened this past June and offers up a cutting-edge culinary team in Peru’s Chef Diego Muñoz and NYC’s Chef John Fraser. There are numerous dining and drinking spots to try, including Popular and Cantina & Pisco Bar. “Our pisco sours and chilcanos are great to start with outdoors at Bowery Garden or before a meal at Cantina and Popular, which is a very cozy, lushly green environment that attracts all the energy that summer brings us,” says Muñoz. “The Latin flavors, catchy salsa tunes, and our live band on weekend nights lifts guests from their chairs to show off their best moves.” Two can’t miss options: “Our Ceviche Bar, which exemplifies freshness and produces at its peak, enables us to ‘cevichify’ anything that comes to our minds,” says Muñoz. “A bit of citrus, a bit of chili, and a little salt create the perfect balance.” And, of course, dessert: “For dessert, our guests are transported culinarily to the Peruvian desert and the low hills of the Cordillera with our indigenous produce—lucuma, chirimoya, and maracuya. Our journey continues all the way to the Amazon, with the very best Peruvian chocolates that come together in an exuberant dish,” he says.

Six Senses Ibiza, Ibiza, Spain

If you’re past the foam parties of your youth but are still looking for a great time, then Six Senses Ibiza, which just opened in July on Xarraca Bay on the northern coast of the island, should be on your list. With its secret recording studio and live entertainment, music really takes center stage here, with offerings put together by music industry exec and Columbia Records alum, Shivas Howard-Brown. At sunset—particularly on Wednesdays and Saturdays this season—you’ll find pop-up performances, local bands, and DJs (like Jaime Fiorito, Rakim Under, and Sadeedo, to name a few), plus more in the works for 2022. And with the resort’s cliffside beach caves, outdoor boxing ring and yoga studio, and fun experiences (we’ve got all the insider tips), there’s plenty to keep you busy beyond that, too.
