There are certain invitations that are impossible to turn down. When Accor invited me aboard Orient Express Corinthian as one of its Preferred Partners, I knew this would be something rather special. Not only is it the first sailing yacht from the legendary Orient Express brand, but it’s also the largest sailing yacht in the […]

The reopening of Aman Sveti Stefan earlier this week felt like more than just another hotel returning to business. It also felt like the perfect moment to take a closer look at Aman’s new hotel openings, from the beaches of Baja California to the mountains of Japan. For five years, one of Europe’s most iconic […]

On the 18th June 2026, the UK government lifted its advice against all but essential travel to the UAE, marking one of the most significant travel updates of the year for anyone planning a trip to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the Indian Ocean.

Sometimes it’s the water – that impossible spectrum of turquoise that never quite looks real, even after a week of staring at it. More often, it’s the feeling of island life itself: music drifting out […]

A new generation of safari stays is arriving across Africa – more private, more design-led, and more closely tied to the landscapes around them. The week Sir David Attenborough turned 100 felt like a fitting moment to think about safari. Few people have done more to shape the way we look at the natural world […]

Every May, the Côte d’Azur slips into its most glamorous guise. As the Cannes Film Festival returns from 12–24 May 2026, the French Riviera becomes a magnet for Hollywood stars, superyachts, rooftop parties, and travellers chasing that unmistakable South of France energy.
