A Luxury Guide to Making the Most of Shanghai Disneyland
Disneyland may not immediately sound like the definition of luxury, but there is no denying that this world-renowned theme park holds a special place for families from every walk of life. From celebrities such as Kourtney Kardashian, who has shared glimpses inside her frequent Disneyland visits, to families finally ticking a long-awaited trip off their wish list, or even friends making it their mission to celebrate a unique birthday, Disney has an extraordinary ability to appeal to everyone.
For families travelling through Asia, however, deciding between Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai Disneyland can feel surprisingly overwhelming. Each offers a very different experience, and Shanghai, as the largest Disney park in Asia, deserves to be understood in its own right.

Women Who Launch: Lucia Penrod of Nikki Beach
30th September 2026
Luxury hospitality group Nikki Beach is best known for its toes-in-the-sand beach clubs peppered with palm trees and filled with creamy interiors. Their popularity is such that supermodel Naomi Campbell hosted her 33rd birthday at Nikki Beach St. Tropez, while in 2008, singers Beyoncé, Jay Z and Mariah Carey celebrated New Year’s Eve at Nikki Beach Saint Barth. Founded by Lucia Penrod and her late husband Jack Penrod in memory of his daughter Nikki, the brand has grown exponentially over the years, giving rise to a plethora of global beach clubs and resorts, each built on the shared philosophy of ‘Celebrating Life’. Penrod has since taken the brand one step further with the addition of branded residences in the likes of Dubai, RAK, Baku, and Muscat. Amongst their new projects is The Residences at Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Antigua - the island’s first-ever luxury-branded residences perched on Antigua’s longest stretch of sand, Jolly Beach. It features 134 private branded residences, including seven beachfront villas, dining and wellness offerings, concierge services, and a private gym. The official opening is anticipated in 2030.
Alila Shanghai: The Wellness Hotel We Didn't Expect to...
4th September 2026
If you've had the opportunity to stay at an Alila hotel before, you'll know it's a brand that places great emphasis on minimalist design, creating spaces that instantly make guests feel calmer the moment they walk through the doors. Wellbeing is perhaps the strongest theme running throughout every Alila property, and we were excited to experience how Alila Shanghai interprets this philosophy in the middle of one of the world's busiest cities.
The Best Luxury Concierge Companies in London

Andaz Shanghai ITC: A Contemporary City Stay in the Heart...
28th August 2026
Shanghai is a city where location can make a significant difference to your stay, particularly when you're hoping to spend your time exploring rather than travelling back and forth between the hotel and the places you want to see. The recently opened Andaz Shanghai ITC, the second Andaz outpost in the city, is situated within Shanghai's commercial hub, making it a convenient base for business travellers as well as families and couples wanting to be close to the action. With 267 design-focused rooms incorporating strong local Shanghainese influences, the hotel manages to feel distinctly urban while still offering guests a sense of escape once they retreat back into their room. During our two-night stay, we experienced one of the hotel's twin-bed room layouts, which proved to be particularly well suited to our family of four.

It is this seamless blend of independence and hospitality that makes IFC Residence particularly special.
Greenland: Navigating the final frontier with HX Expeditions
24th August 2026
Greenland has frequently been the subject of many headlines lately. But more often than not, geopolitical reasons have dominated over stories concerning the island’s natural beauty. The island, which is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, boasts striking Arctic landscapes, a dynamic Inuit culture, and rare wildlife-watching opportunities. As there are generally no roads connecting the towns in Greenland, the best way to explore this final frontier is by cruising with the likes of HX Expeditions.
