This year, we’re going to try things differently. The (evidently soggy) grounds at Indio get my undivided attention, but with questionable weather, social-space snagging brands, and an influx of folks flocking to the fest, there’s no doubt that a bunch of bashes are worth the crashes.

Here’s where to party in Palm Springs…

Neon Carnival.
Neon Carnival was created by Bolthouse Productions in 2010 and continues annually at the Aviation Airport during music’s biggest festival weekend in Coachella Valley. For two years and counting, it has become a playground for its invited guests consisting of celebrities, music VIPs, and concert goers. Recreate the scene from Fear. Yeah I said it. 

Burton Bash.
Busy P and a BBQ sound brill, but Burton Girls, sound even better. Mingle with the Madame’s at Burtons backyard bash. And no, this is not just because I’m a Burton Girl… It’s because of Nina Dobrev. 

The Saguaro Desert Weekend.
From A-Trak to Brodinski, The Saguaro has a weekend lineup to fill the festival hungry LA crowd, who may or may not actually make their way to Indio. 

Lacoste LIVE.
Photobooths, Elijah Wood, more Busy P and some mysteries, Lacoste will serve up 6 hours of wholesome fun in the sun.  

MUSE & The Art of Esylum.
Join Wildfox, CIROC and Muse for an all out sensory experience. Think light installations, themed lounge areas, a dance floor with surprise guest DJ’s, Geodesic domes, and art installations done by fine artists Anthony James and Kevin Llewelyn, this event will BLOW YOUR MIND.

Here at Jetsetter, we work round-the-clock to bring you hotels and trips that unlock classic and under-the-radar destinations around the world, and we hope you’ll forgive us if we take a moment to brag about a few milestones. In the last 365 days, we’ve debuted Jetsetter 24/7, our black book of hotels available year-round; Personal Travel Planning, and the brand-spanking-new Jetsetter Homes. To toast another landmark year, here are some hand-picked hotels fit for a party. It’s our party, we can stay if we want too… Kampaii!

Turkey. Barbaros Bay - Kempinski Hotel.
Thirty minutes from Bodrum, Kempinski Hotel Barbaros Bay is a sprawling spa resort in a postcard-perfect setting. Views of the Aegean take center stage, whether through floor-to-ceiling windows in rooms and suites, in some of the six on-site restaurants or from the enormous infinity pool — one of the largest in Turkey. The private beach and 60,000-square-foot Six Senses Spa (with a traditional Turkish hammam) make this destination for sun-worship and spa time, but the city action and historic sights in Bodrum are just a short drive away.

oundup of my favorite things this week….
A party for summers sake, the final lift-off and a Peruvian hideout
….follow it, don’t judge it
 

Party. Jetset Farryn & Friends.
You heard me rattle and rave about CO-OP Food & Drink, the newly opened modern American brasserie & sushi bar at the Hotel on Rivington…. now they’re kicking off a series of summer’s eve events and yours truly will be taking part in the festivities. Join me, Grungy Gentleman, The Velveteen and Austyntatious for some food, drinks and serious flirting. Tuesday July 12th. 

Hotel. Titilaka Lodge.
On a small, remote peninsula on the shores of the earth’s highest navigable lake, Hotel Titilaka brings the sophisticated boutique hotel experience to one of the world’s most physically and culturally stunning places. The 18-suite retreat immerses you in the cuisine, landscape, mystery and brilliance of the ancient Andes, and includes all meals, plus a choice of local excursions from mountain biking and bird watching to rowing and sightseeing.

Lift-Off. Goodbye Nasa.
The Atlantis blazed a path into history today as it rocketed off the launch pad for a final time, marking the last-ever liftoff of the 30-year-old American space shuttle program. The storied spacecraft is carrying a crew of four US astronauts toward the International Space Station on a 12-day mission to re-stock the orbiting lab. The mission marks the end of an era in human spaceflight, leaving the United States with no spacecraft capable of taking astronauts to orbit and leaving Russia’s three-seat Soyuz capsule as the sole taxi to the ISS (via nationalpost)

In honor of Miami Music Week, I sat down with Plum TV to chat about the world’s best party destinations. Clearly Ibiza is not one of them… just kidding (18 min. into the video)

Ultra Music Festival kicks off on Friday, and this weekend, Miami has a new religion. Say hello to the Mecca of Music…. Here are my top 5 sacred spaces for sun, sand and shaking away the day. 

Beatport Beach at the Gansevoort.
Missing out on the Masquerade? Fear not. Our buddies at Beaport have put together a weekend full of free showcases, including those sexy SHM Swedes. Kicking off Friday at 1 pm with AC Slater vs. Jack Beats, the lineup includes Fedde Le Grand, Roger Sanchez and Bad Boy Bill; DJ Chuckie, Mark Knight and L.A. Riots on Saturday; Afrojack, AN21, Ingrosso, Angello and Wolfgang Gartner on Sunday. It’s first come first serve at the Gansevoort Beach, so sleep on it - the line, literally.

It’s February and you’re sitting at your desk with the all too familiar mid-semester blues. And you may not be in college anymore (don’t worry, me neither), but its okay. It’s simply your body’s way of saying it’s time to plant the Spring Break seed.

Here at Jetsetter we’re planning now for vacations over the next few months with family, friends or your sweetheart be it a beach getaway, an all-purpose family resort or one last ski trip before the season ends. Make the most of Spring Break, the Jetsetter way. Here are my five picks for Spring Breakin-it.

It’s a tough life, but someone has to ring in the New Year with Jay-Z and Coldplay… So Jetsetter and the brand-new Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas (yes, from those trippy commercials) are hooking you up with one sexy New Year’s Eve package: Hova and Coldplay in concert, a preview of the new Marquee nightclub, dinner for two, a celebrity fitness workout and more. You’ll be staying three nights in a Terrace Studio at the Cosmopolitan, where your private outdoor space will prove a lot warmer than cozying up to a stranger at midnight in Times Square. Did I mention that Florence & The Machine will be there too? Just in case the Chris Martin or Jay-Z don’t do it for you. 

Spend New Years Eve with Jetsetter.com… I promise, we’re worth it. 

It’s the high holy day of Halloween and here’s the Top 5 ways to spend the weird weekend. Or just spend the weekend getting weird….

Thursday. Deadmau5 Trifecta & “Unhooked” 
Kick off the holiest of holidays with a religious experience. Recently profiled with a feature in Rolling Stone’s “Hot List” issue, @Deadmau5 will make his last North American appearances this year with three shows at Roseland Ballroom (October 28, 29 & 30). The first two nights of his ‘Trifecta’ shows will feature the famous festival set with Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Erol Alkan, Afrojack and JDH & Dave P (we hear Die Antwood too!). The final night - “Unhooked” - will feature calm and collected collaborator @Kaskade with Calvin Harris, Pete Tong and Sleepy & Boo. 
Doors open at 8 pm

So it’s pretty clear I like music, and heading out to concerts and events in NYC is my little way of escaping when I can’t actually escape. International DJ’s and musicians bring some flavor to the everyday, and @Pacha NYC packs in all the action.

Last weekend, renowned DJ @Bob Sinclar brought Jamaican beats to a massive and curious crowd. For the last two years, the French disco maven was holed up in Kingston, Jamaica with Sly & Robbie’s legendary crew, re-imagining all his biggest hits in a reggae style. And on Friday, Pacha hosted Tim Bergling aka @Avicii aka 1 of 3 of Swedish House Mafia whose broad sonic palette has given me a sweet tooth for Swedes.

So if you can’t travel to the city, let the city travel to you…. In honor of Pacha’s Five-Year Anniversary, here’s a month of transporting tunes, so gear up!

See all the action with the amazing video by SPREADhouse 

France: David Guetta
Friday, December 3.
Grammy Award-winning sensation David Guetta is coming back to the booth from which he first rocked New York. In just four years, Guetta has gone from Ibiza’s favorite son to every pop star’s go-to producer and an international star in his own right, gracing the cover of Billboard magazine.

Ibiza Gran. Baleric Islands.

There’s nowhere better to be in the summer than Ibiza. The Balearic Island is known for its stone-studded beaches and celeb-studded scene. Located a ferry hop from Barcelona, Ibiza’s all-star DJ lineup hits its zenith in August. Hear the world’s best DJ’s spin in their natural habitat as 10,000 people bounce to the beat at Amensia or Pacha, two of my favorite clubs in the world. You haven’t danced till’ you’ve danced in Ibiza and we’ve partnered with White Ibiza to give you the info you need to get down and dirty. Need a reservation or a tip, @White Ibiza and resident blogger Miss W have got you covered. 

Tcherassi Hotel. Cartagena, Colombia.

I love the sexiness of Cartagena; it’s got the old-world charm of Havana and the sophistication of Buenos Aires. You go to Cartagena for the balmy climate, spectacular sunsets and of course, salsa music. And, the sultry colonial city in Colombia is only a 2 ½ hour flight from Miami.

DJ’s come from all over to play in front of gigantic crowds, giving people a place to escape from their daily routine. Don’t miss your chance to party, and stay at the Delano Miami on Jetsetter.
