Slow Escapes is a guide to a new kind of travel, exploring hotels, guesthouses and hospitality venues that are revitalizing rural areas by fostering meaningful connections between people and place. Grounded in the principles of the slow movement, these places embrace ideas of community, sustainability and seasonality, and participate in the preservation of heritage, culture and tradition.

From an 18th-century sheep farm reimagined as a guesthouse in Iceland’s far north, to a new-age estate in the heart of Andalucia; from a farmhouse turned factory and fermentation facility in the Catskills, to Fogo Island Inn, a social enterprise and hotel situated on an island off an island in the North Atlantic, discover the stories behind these places that are changing the way we holiday – for the better.
