OutThere reviews The Cove at Atlantis on the Bahamas' Paradise Island

3 weeks ago | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

On Nassau’s Paradise Island, The Cove at Atlantis is big, bold, and unapologetically lavish. Opened in 2007, it’s been drawing in sun-seekers and thrill-chasers for years, offering a mix of high-end comfort and over-the-top entertainment. An all-suite property with 600 accommodations, The Cove at Atlantis is a lot more refined than the rest of the complex, but make no mistake – this is still a resort that leans into its scale.

Mar 27, 2025 | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

Tucked away on Nassau’s famous Cable Beach, Rosewood Baha Mar is the dreamy, high-end standout of the sprawling Baha Mar resort complex – a mix of old-school charm and modern luxury, set against some of the most pristine white sands of the Bahamas. Conceived in the early 2000s, the Baha Mar project was designed to bring Nassau’s tourism sector not only up to date but also up to a higher standard of luxury.
The bubble of Virtual Reality is bursting – do we simply prefer actual reality?

Mar 26, 2025 | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

Once touted as the “next big thing”, Virtual Reality has joined a growing roster of tech innovations that miss the point of what technology once promised: to solve problems or make our lives more enjoyable. And as Zack Cahill shares in the latest edition of The Layover, the industry doesn’t care, so long as you believe its next “innovation” is the actual next big thing. Virtual Reality should be here by now. Back in the ‘90s, VR was the hotness.
Hotel Union Øye, Norangsfjorden, Norway - Hotel review by OutThere magazine

Mar 4, 2025 | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

Some hotels are simply crash pads, serving purely as a base to jump off to more interesting locales. And then there is the type of hotel that is a destination in and of itself. With its compelling history and access to strikingly beautiful scenery, Hotel Union Øye, a hideaway in rural Norway, is of the latter kind. The arrival set the stage: we travelled by boat from Ålesund along the majestic Hjørundfjorden fjord, going past snow-topped mountains, jagged cliffs, caves and organic fish farms.
OutThere reviews West Hollywood's swankiest eco-sanctuary

Feb 25, 2025 | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

If, like us, you romanticize film noir — alcoholic private eyes, neon reflections in rain-slicked streets —then Sunset Boulevard is the only place to stay in Los Angeles. And if you also like a hotel with a conscience, 1 Hotel West Hollywood makes a strong case for itself as perhaps the city’s most sustainable place to stay.
Valentine’s Doom: why love isn’t all Disney (and what Paris has to do with it)

Feb 13, 2025 | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

Paris is always a good idea – except when it’s not. In the latest edition of The Layover, just in time for Valentine’s Day, Zack Cahill explores the lesser-known state of extreme disappointment known as Paris syndrome, which has (mostly Japanese) visitors fall out of love with the city of… well, love? Let’s start with a story. About ten years ago, a friend of mine was maid of honour at her best friend’s wedding in Toronto. I remember the build-up to it. They’d been together six years.
OutThere reviews Nashville's most eco-forward luxury hotel

Feb 6, 2025 | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

Draped with plants and free from plastic, 1 Hotel Nashville opened in 2015 with a focus on luxurious yet sustainable hospitality. The hotel is also completely paper-free (want to write a note? Here’s a chalkboard). Its facade features live greenery and there’s a large art installation home to every invasive plant in Tennessee. If it’s not already entirely clear: this place is hip, natural, eco-forward and even dog-friendly… It’s very much the new Nashville.
OutThere reviews the stylish yet cosy hotel putting Ålesund on the map

Jan 16, 2025 | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

Ålesund is a picture postcard town nestled at the mouth of a fjord in western Norway: relentlessly scenic and replete with art nouveau architecture, it makes for a fantastic base to explore everything the region has to offer. At the heart of this stunning city sits Hotel Brosundet, a fishing warehouse converted into a cosy yet stylish hideaway, now owned by Norway’s famous Flakk family.
Travelling for Christmas? A festive holiday can make you believe – not just in Santa

Dec 17, 2024 | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

Travelling for Christmas can be stressful, hectic and downright disappointing – but as Zack Cahill recalls in his latest The Layover column, a festive journey also holds the potential for lifelong memories. And some trips might even make you believe… not just in Santa. When I started this column, I thought about the times I travelled for Christmas. It should be easy, I thought. I went to Sydney for one year. Here’s the thing about Australia: it is exactly what you think it is.
OutThere reviews an alpine lodge-style hotel in Norway’s dramatic Skodje region

Dec 10, 2024 | outthere.travel | Zack Cahill

Nestled in the mountains of western Norway, Storfjord Hotel is an oasis of old-school alpine luxury and adventure. It’s a real stunner close to the village of Skodje, with a spectacular view of the fjord and the Sunnmøre Alps. The premise is clear: mountain majesty meets modern amenities. The first thing many visitors will undoubtedly notice upon arrival is how beautifully the traditional log cabin design of Storfjord Hotel complements the dramatic beauty of the landscape.
