The Journal tells you where to stay, where to go and what to wear. If your heading out, get ready from one hell of a weekend.

THE HOTEL – USHUAIA

This is the one place that everyone is talking about this summer. We say with free access to the hotels epic parties “what’s not to love?”, they say “the rooms at Ushuaïa are your mission control center for your pre, during and after party maneuvers… Minimalist décor and natural finishes come together with the latest technologies to offer a comfortable and one-of-a-kind stay”. ushuaiabeachhotel.com

THURSDAY NIGHT – ESPIRITU LATINO, HOSTED BY QUINTESSENTIALLY LIFESTYLE, In true Quintessentially fashion they are hosting a party at Aura Ibiza, commencing at 9pm with a drinks and canapes reception, followed by a dinner you won’t forget.

Here you will be able to recoup from the night before with some seriously impressive food and wine. After lunch you can lay in the shade on one of the deluxe sun loungers for a well earned nap.
