Have you ever dreamed of wandering through the Shire, gliding across a Regency ballroom, or standing atop the misty Highlands where time travel (and smoldering Scottish warriors) feel real? Welcome to set-jetting — where travel meets storybook fantasy, and you become the heroine of your own unforgettable escape.

For most of us women, this isn’t about ticking off tourist spots. It’s about living the romance, the magic, the nostalgia. It’s reliving your favorite movies and series, breathing in the setting, and creating new core memories in places that feel instantly familiar — because they already live in your imagination.

Below are four iconic destinations calling your name, each brimming with cinematic magic, soul-stirring scenery, and moments waiting to become your next main-character memory.

New Zealand: Middle-Earth Awaits (The Lord of the Rings)

If you’ve ever wished to walk through Middle-Earth, this is your sign. New Zealand’s jaw-dropping beauty isn’t just the backdrop for The Lord of the Rings — it is the fantasy. From the golden plains of Edoras to the lush serenity of Hobbiton, you’ll be immersed in landscapes that feel like pure magic.

Where to Stay

• Blanket Bay in Glenorchy — pure luxury with lakeside views worthy of Rivendell.
• Huka Lodge in Taupo — legendary elegance meets Shire tranquility.

New Zealand offers more than fantasy — it’s adventure, wellness, nature, and storytelling all wrapped into one unforgettable journey.

England: Bridgerton & Austen Dreams in Bath

Welcome to Bath — a city where Jane Austen’s wit and Bridgerton’s flair come to life in the Georgian grandeur of honey-stone buildings and cobbled lanes. It’s where romance lingers in the air and every corner feels like the beginning of a love story.

What to Do

• Stroll through the Jane Austen Centre and join a Regency walking tour
• Sip tea like a duchess at a traditional afternoon service
• Dance at the Jane Austen Festival (empire-waist gowns encouraged)
• Take in countryside picnics and hilltop walks with views that feel straight out of a period drama

Where to Stay

• The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa — opulent Georgian luxury
• The Gainsborough Bath Spa — modern wellness meets historical charm

✨ Let the rolling hills, honey-colored stone, and romantic ambiance sweep you into your own Austenian daydream.

York: A Set-Jetting Destination for Romance and Luxury

If Harry Potter or Downton Abbey have inspired your wanderlust, York should be at the top of your set-jetting travel list. This historic English city is a real-life film set, where cobbled lanes, medieval walls, and Gothic spires transport you straight into a period drama.

What to Do

• Wander The Shambles — this crooked medieval street inspired Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter films, and today it’s one of Europe’s most photographed lanes.
• Climb York Minster — the grandeur of this Gothic cathedral feels like a backdrop for a sweeping drama, and the views from the tower rival any cinematic landscape.
• Stroll the City Walls — York’s 13th-century fortifications offer the kind of moody, romantic walk you’d expect from a BBC period piece.
• Step Into York’s Chocolate Legacy — imagine a sweet storyline unfolding in the city known as England’s “Chocolate Capital.”
• Escape to the North York Moors — rolling hills and windswept heather create scenery worthy of Wuthering Heights.

Where to Stay

• Grantley Hall — the premier place to stay in Yorkshire. This five-star countryside estate is the epitome of luxury, offering Michelin-star dining, a serene spa and wellness retreat, and heritage elegance blended with modern comforts. If you’re searching for the ultimate luxury hotel near York, Grantley Hall is an experience in itself.
• The Grand, York — a historic landmark turned five-star city hotel, offering elegant rooms, fine dining, and a central location perfect for exploring York’s cobbled streets.

✨York offers the best of both worlds: romantic city breaks filled with history, culture, and charm — plus easy access to the Yorkshire countryside for those who crave nature and serenity. From candlelit dinners and afternoon teas to scenic walks and luxurious spa retreats, York is one of the best destinations in England for couples and Set Jetting experiences.

Scotland: Outlander’s Highlands & Timeless Romance

You don’t have to time-travel to feel the magic of Outlander. Scotland’s rugged landscapes, ancient ruins, and mystical energy will do the trick.

What to Do

• Stand at the hauntingly beautiful Clava Cairns (those standing stones!)
• Visit Lallybroch (aka Midhope Castle)
• Reflect at Culloden Battlefield, rich with history and emotion
• Hike misty glens where love and legend feel equally real

Where to Stay

• Lochardil House Hotel in Inverness — tranquil and timeless
• The Balmoral in Edinburgh — pure elegance and royal flair

✨ Whether you’re retracing Jamie and Claire’s steps or writing your own love story, the Highlands will move your soul.

White Lotus Vibes (Luxury, Drama & Dreamy Views)

Of course, no set-jetting list is complete without White Lotus. From Sicily’s cliffside luxury to the tropics of Thailand and Maui, these decadent settings are as much a character in the show as the guests themselves.

Where to Stay
All seasons of White Lotus were filmed at Four Seasons properties, so you can absolutely live the drama-free version (we hope) of your favorite episodes. Sip Negronis in Taormina or soak in a Thai sunset — wherever the next season lands, luxury awaits.

✨ Want the White Lotus look without the chaos? I’ll help you channel the vibe, minus the murder mystery.
