We’re thrilled to share with you a few remarkable, much-anticipated properties poised to open in 2021. Though many openings were delayed in 2020, we managed to visit Austin newcomer Commodore Perry after its debut in July—and the glam retreat has been a big hit for KJT clients wanting a chic getaway. Of course at the below properties, clients can expect to receive the KJ Travel amenities they’re accustomed to (complimentary breakfast, resort credits, upgrades, etc.) and likely some attractive opening offers. Get in touch if you have any questions.
Cheers to a new year and many more travel memories to be made!

Steeped in California “Central Coast lore,” The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern, once a stagecoach stop during California’s Gold Rush and later a surreptitious hangout during Prohibition, is being thoughtfully restored by Auberge. The historic landmark’s newest chapter will offer an authentic and luxurious experience of the Santa Ynez area—think farmhouse simplicity, cottage-style accommodations, and a vibrant, seasonal food program. For a longer vacation, consider pairing an Auberge Los Olivos stay with a few nights in Santa Barbara (if you’re craving beach time), or in San Luis Obispo or Paso Robles (to sample California’s popular central coast wine region). Opening late 2021.
Four Seasons’ fourth Mexican property is a hidden eco reserve located on a private peninsula between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo. Comprised of three enclaves—a protected beach for families, panoramic clifftop for adults, and a private hideaway immersed in greenery—the resort offers a range of experiences grounded in a connection to nature and an appreciation for regional heritage. We recently visited its sister property in Punta Mita (Four Seasons Punta Mita review) and have great feedback from the new One and Only Mandarina in that area; however, if you are looking for a new luxury Mexico vacation destination, Tamarindo will be a good bet. Marked by clean-lined architecture with raw stone and wood finishes, Four Seasons Tamarindo’s accommodations are expansive and blend seamlessly into the natural beauty of the Costa Allegre. For travelers craving local adventures, the charming beach town of La Manzanilla is just 15 minutes away. Opening late 2021.
