Lebanon

Lebanon wraps luxury and legend into one shimmering coastline, where ancient stones meet rooftop infinity pools. Begin in Beirut, checking into a seafront suite at the Phoenicia Hotel or Le Gray, then stroll the Corniche at sunset as yachts carve silver lines across the Mediterranean. Dive into Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhael, where art galleries glow behind restored Ottoman facades, and finish the night with cocktails high above the city lights at rooftop lounges near Zaitunay Bay. Rent a private car with driver and ascend to the Roman ruins of Baalbek, their sun‑bleached columns towering like a mirage above the Beqaa Valley’s vineyards. Pause for a wine tasting at Château Ksara or Château Kefraya, pairing bold reds with local mezze on shaded terraces. Next, glide north to Byblos, perhaps the world’s oldest continuously inhabited city, where stone souks, chic boutiques, and harborfront seafood restaurants blend heritage with indulgence. Spend a day in Batroun, paddleboarding across translucent water before retreating to a boutique beach club, or escape to the Chouf Mountains, staying at Mir Amin Palace overlooking terraced hills. Explore the Jeita Grotto by boat, its illuminated stalactites mirrored in glassy pools, then end your journey in the cedar forests of Bsharri, breathing crisp mountain air as clouds drift below your balcony.
