Estancia is the Spanish word for estate. In Argentina, many of the most beautiful old country homes were built in the city of Cordoba by Jesuits in the 1600s.

“Take a Vow” is Daily Candy’s take on the best locations for the perfect honeymoon and they’ve put together a noteworthy list. Given they lack the discipline that 3LUXE has (smile) they’ve mustered a list of nine locations. And they’re some pretty amazing choices. This list is a follow-up to Daily Candy’s article on best wedding destinations, which included El Colibri, one of our honeymoon choices above (so perhaps we have similar sensibilities). Let me narrow it down to my three favorites, which is what we can’t help doing at 3LUXE. Like us, they feature a remote South American choice (Mantra Resort-Spa-Casino, Punta del Este, Uruguay), a wine country choice (Capofaro Malvasia & Resort, Aeolian Islands, Sicily), and a private island choice (Mounu Island Resort in Tonga). Check them out, and if you think one of these is a better choice than our three best honeymoon destinations let us know
