10.09 2025 Didn’t get away this summer? Never fear! As we’re sure you know, these are the months that really are the best to travel: fewer tourists, happier locals, easier reservations, and space to breathe. To celebrate these special days, we’ve partnered with GREY GOOSE® Altius to bring you five mini guides with insider tips to short-haul ‘hotspot’ locations that offer an elevated, good time. MYKONOS | SAINT-TROPEZ | IBIZA | PORTO CERVO | MARBELLA Born in the Alps, GREY GOOSE Altius is elegant, smooth, and created to be savoured ice-cold on the rocks, with friends. And, as this is GREY GOOSE’s luxe, high-energy spirit, we’ve kept the guide picks in line with that: these are stylish, lively, refined, fun getaways in the sun. So pack your Studio 54-inspired capsule collection, grab your passport, and come with us to dive into an extended summer. To celebrate a summer of unfiltered moments, GREY GOOSE Altius hosted a weekend in Mykonos, with an Altius lens. Highlights included high seas boat tripping and stylish beach afternoons that flowed into spirited sunset rituals and high-energy Greek nights. Fun, effortless, connected summer days: long may they last. Insider Guide Mykonos is feeling good this year! And with the way hotel prices are in Ibiza these days, it seems, dare we say, almost reasonable. In our Mykonos guide you’ll find details about the lively beach bar Kalua Mykonos; the luxe retreat Soho Roc House; the seafront ‘lifestyle’ Zuma; the newish hotel Anades (home to LPM); and the much-loved open-air Cavo Paradiso club. GREY GOOSE Altius Moments: Catch a vibrant sunset in the Old Town; followed by dinner at the steak and raw favourite, Drakoulis Garden; then energetic dancing and smooth GREY GOOSE Altius at Cavo Paradiso. Take a moment to toast, because an ice-cold serve isn’t just a drink, it’s part of the moment. READ OUR ALTIUS X UJ MYKONOS GUIDE HERE Good Times are Calling Dress code, ready to dance. Insider Guide Is it us, or is Saint-Tropez feeling more appealing lately? No, not the ‘boats’ filled with €1 million worth of Champagne and sparklers, but some of the lunch parties look fun and we’re definitely seeing more great DJ names there. And then there’s the location: pines, sea, and rustic south of France beauty. In our Saint-Tropez Guide you’ll find details of lively lunch spots including Shellona, Loulou Ramatuelle and Gigi Rigolatto; Salama for high-energy late-night dining; plus info on legendary clubs Le VIP Rooms and Les Cave du Roy; and the chic Relais & Châteaux Hotel Messardière. GREY GOOSE Altius Moments: When in Saint-Tropez… start at Shellona on Pampelonne Beach for DJs (everyone plays here) with a side of beluga, stay on for an atmospheric sunset, and make your way to LE VIP Room for a refined night with pristine pours. READ OUR ALTIUS X UJ SAINT-TROPEZ GUIDE HERE Insider Guide Oh Ibiza, we love you. Especially after high season. Now is the time! You’ll still need to make a few reservations before you go, though, especially if you want to get in to some of your favourites – and if that includes Jondal, good luck! That table is becoming harder than Nobu in the ‘90s these days. In our Ibiza guide we highlight the new Soho Farmhouse; the Night League’s Playa Soleil and UNVRS clubs; Club Chinois in Ibiza town; the excellent restaurants Omakase by Walt and Nudo; and the latest club opening Tomodachi, which has a no-phones policy. GREY GOOSE Altius Moments: Begin at the Michelin star eight-seater Omakase by Walt for a tête-à- tete, before you move on to Ibiza’s latest and largest super club, UNVRS, for a high-energy night with dancing, exploring, and glacially smooth vodka. READ OUR ALTIUS X UJ IBIZA GUIDE Extended Summer 2025 Playlist By Luca Cazal Luca Cazal is part of groups – Hot Natured (creators of one of our all time favourite tracks, Benediction) and Infinity Ink – which release music on one of our favourite labels (Hot Creations); he also has a long history of playing at Jamie Jones’ Paradise night (which is now Thursdays at UNVRS, Ibiza). He’s created an elevated extended summer playlist for us, to keep those connected music moments with friends going. Enjoy! LISTEN NOW Insider Guide Pizza, pasta, swim, dance, repeat. For all the bling of Porto Cervo, there are also some remarkable local spots – beaches, corners in discos, restaurants – so it’s a great place to mix it up a bit. In our Porto Cervo Guide we highlight the multi-faceted Phi Beach Club, which has a Nammos pop up this summer; TANIT, the buzzy new seafood restaurant; the open-air club Sanctuary for memorable nights and a boat day recommendation for unforgettable days; and the hotel Romazzino, which recently became a Belmond property. GREY GOOSE Altius Moments: Check in to the new W Sardinia, which has marina views and their signature poolside WET deck for playfully indulgent socialising, featuring ice-cold vodka on the rocks.

Then head over to Dante’s at Claridge’s, who have a Pornstar Martini with GREY GOOSE Altius on the menu, or check out the selection of GREY GOOSE drinks on offer at La Terrasse by GREY GOOSE at Rosewood. Dante Takes Claridge’s is in residence at Claridge’s until 1 January, 2026. Insider Guide If Bodrum is where all the bling brands have headed lately, then Marbella is hot on its heels. COYA, GAIA, Nobu, Cipriani – we could go on – are all now in Marbella. There are also several new hotels, and ones who have had major updates recently, too. In our guide we highlight Nikki Beach in the Don Carlos Hotel, which has recently had a €45 million refurb; Puento Romano, which has over 20 leading restaurants; the local fave candlelit La Tienda Casa Curro; the wild card Mamzel; and Finca Cortesin, the sister property to the excellent Grand Hotel Son Net in Mallorca. Our Marbella insider Maya Boyd also gives us an insightful overview of Marbella’s current comeback, which she says isn’t about re-invention – it’s about finally owning its contradictions. GREY GOOSE Altius Moments: Here it’s all about expert martins and elevated, energetic evenings. Start on the Paseo Maritimo and make your way from tapas, to dinner, to drinks, to dancing.
