Aesthetic Algorithms: Which Internet Core Is Your Travel Vibe?

We all have our “thing.” Maybe you're someone who stares dramatically out the plane window. Maybe you're curating outfits based on your destination’s energy. Maybe your camera roll is 98% moody sunsets, barefoot dinners, and local cats.

Whatever your niche, there’s a new way to discover your perfect slow travel stay, and it’s not through TripAdvisor. It’s through your aesthetic algorithm. The one quietly shaping your Pinterest board, TikTok and IG feeds and mental wishlist.

Here, we match your internet core to a real-world escape… one that actually lives up to the vibe.

Coastal Grandma Core

You’re linen-clad, lemon-obsessed, and emotionally moved by ceramic bowls.

Stay here:
Manna, Greece - a reimagined sanatorium that’s part Wes Anderson, part marble-drenched minimalism.
Eumelia Farm, Greece - olive groves, organic cooking, and slow Greek village rhythms.

Cottagecore

You’re low-key witchy, high-key pastoral, and idealise mushroom foraging.

Stay here:
Island Houses, Indonesia - whimsical wooden homes hidden in lush gardens.
Kurulu Bay, Sri Lanka - earthy tones, jungle-laced seclusion, and wild garden energy.

Clean Girl Core

Skin glowing. Silhouettes minimal. Accessories? Probably a gua sha.

Stay here:
Gundari, Greece - raw elegance, Cycladic cliffs, and spa rituals rooted in Hellenic wisdom.
Zannier Bãi San Hô, Vietnam - polished yet grounding, with a “quiet luxury” design language.
An Lam Ninh Van Bay, Vietnam - Vietnamese modernism meets nature-soaked serenity.

Witchy Wellnesscore

You book your stays based on moon phases and treatment menus.

Stay here:
Song Saa Private Island, Cambodia - jungle-shrouded sanctuaries and a Buddhist-inspired wellbeing concept.
COMO Laucala, Fiji - volcanic springs, jungle rituals, and a wellness ethos rooted in the land.
Berber Lodge, Morocco - date palms, adobe textures, and mystic desert calm.

Dark Academia

Ink-stained fingers. Architecture envy. Cloudy skies preferred.

Stay here:
Pemako Punakha, Bhutan - striking modernist lines nestled in Bhutan’s spiritual heartland.
Topas Eco Lodge, Vietnam - cliffside drama and mist-laced mountain views.
El Fenn, Morocco - terracotta courtyards, moody hues, and North African romance.

Protagonist Core

You wear headphones on the plane to narrate your own life. Drama is a setting, not a problem.

Stay here:
Soneva Fushi, Maldives - cinematic villas, wine cellars, chocolate AND ice cream rooms, and Robinson Crusoe glamour.
Six Senses Thimphu, Bhutan - architecture that whispers, not shouts: perfect for soul-searching montages.
Dechiu, Vietnam – indie film-worthy interiors, ocean breezes and artistic soul.

Mermaidcore

Salt in your hair, pearls on your wrist, and the ocean always within reach.

Stay here:
Misool, Indonesia – a marine conservation haven with water that looks photoshopped.
Soneva Jani, Maldives – slides from your villa into a lagoon, need we say more?
Bawah Reserve, Indonesia – Islands – an archipelago fantasy with next-level reef restoration.

Nomadcore

You prefer hammocks to hotels, and your camera roll is 70% earth tones.

Stay here:
Umnya Dune Camp, Morocco – luxury camp beneath the Saharan stars.
Gal Oya Lodge, Sri Lanka – jungle trekking, indigenous wisdom, and elephant encounters.
Our Habitas Caravan Dakhla, Morocco – earthy, edgy, and off-the-grid in all the best ways.

Ethoscore

Your vibe: values-first, always. Regenerative > indulgent. Purpose > performative.

Stay here:
Zannier Bãi San Hô, Vietnam – regenerative farming, community projects, and deep connection to place.
Baba Eco Lodge, Thailand – sustainable island life with a leave-no-trace mentality.
Wild Coast Tented Lodge, Sri Lanka – safari chic with wildlife corridors and a light touch on the land.
