Forget overcrowded Mediterranean beaches and scorching temperatures. Travel's elite have made their choice: this summer, true luxury is coolness. The "Coolcation" phenomenon—a blend of cool and vacation—is revolutionizing the high-end travel industry. Escaping to northern latitudes in the middle of August is no longer a mere alternative; it has become a genuine quest for well-being, space, and silence. Wearing a cashmere sweater on a summer evening, reading by a wood fire overlooking a Norwegian fjord, or falling asleep under the Icelandic midnight sun are the new markers of ultra-luxury. We have selected 10 extraordinary suites, from Austria to the Faroe Islands, to experience this summer revolution. Here is your guide to a vacation where pure air is the ultimate privilege.
