The AmiGo Edit 22: a new Paris hot spot, a chic Moroccan hotel...

For warm-weather winter travel inspiration, we’re turning to tastemaker Julia Ashwood, the co-founder of our favorite hotel in Byron Bay, Australia: Sun Ranch, a groovy estate inspired by 1970s California ranch houses. Julia’s incredible taste can be seen throughout the sprawling resort, from the whimsical rooms to the amenities including a wood-fired floating sauna, as well as in her travel recs on AmiGo, ranging from the best pizza spot and spa in Byron Bay to a stylish new boutique hotel that just opened between Byron Bay and Sydney. Follow Julia for more—and wishlist Sun Ranch (or just start planning your trip, it’s that special).

Opened in mid-November, Tarántula is one of Paris’ latest hot spots (add it to your wishlist ASAP). Set in the 11th arrondissement, the northern Mexican restaurant and wine bar has an intimate, candlelit-space and a flavor-packed menu from chef Emmanuel Peña, who was the chef at El Nopal before opening Tarántula, his first restaurant. Expect dishes like grilled onions with white chili sauce, spicy chilaca beef tacos, and a delicious olive oil flan with rosemary for dessert.

There’s no shortage of amazing follows on AmiGo, but this month we’re excited about three users in particular:

@noor_fares: London-based owner and designer of Noor Fares Jewellery with recs in the British capital, Paris, & more.
@claratlan: Paris-based model with recs in Venice, Japan, Formentera, & more.
@warisara_burns: London-based restaurant PR specialist with recs in Greece, London, Amsterdam, & more.

Our November trip to Porto delivered the gritty coolness of Athens and Marseille, a coffee shop scene that rivals the one in Copenhagen (a rare feat), and a lot more that is unique to the trending Portuguese city. Set right on the Douro river, our editor uncovered the city’s latest gems, from the stunning, just-opened Largo Hotel (a major splurge, but worth adding to your bucket list) to the best coffee shops (favorites being A Certain Café and Early Cedofeita) and some world-class art attractions (Fundação Serralves and Piscina das Marés). It’s no surprise that Porto is one of the most searched destinations on AmiGo—we’d recommend it for a mid-Spring trip, followed by a few days in Lisbon.

We take our users’ requests seriously, so we’re happy to share that we have a fix for one of our most asked-about items: a library for all of our editorial articles! All of the stories you know and love from our emails and Instagram can now be found in one central place in the app (so you don’t have to dig up an old email to find the link to articles like the 7 Best Places to Travel this Fall, or Sam Youkilis’ Rome Itinerary).

P.S. Keep sending in requests to info@amigo.app so the product team can keep making AmiGo better for you :)

Marrakech is one of our favorite winter destinations thanks to its warm climate, rich culture, and incredible shopping. And it recently became even better, with last-year’s opening of Rosemary, the first hotel from Belgium-born, Marrakech-based artist Laurence Leenaert, the genius behind home decor brand [LRNCE](https://amigo.app/place/lrnce-studio-marrakesh/g-ChIJo5uYI4rrrw0RJM9ZO3YUt20 ) (which is also based in Marrakech and well worth a visit). The chic, well-priced hotel has just five rooms, all of which are filled with pieces from the label and furnishings by local artisans. And even if you can’t make a trip this winter, follow Laurence on AmiGo for her top recs in Marrakech, Paris, & more cities.
