Baldwin Ho discovers a softer side to Palma de Mallorca during the off-season. Below, discover his guide to the capital of the Balearic Islands, covering everything from where to eat and stay to immersive cultural experiences.

Out On The Wily, Windy Moors

17th February 2026

News of Emerald Fennell’s racy adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 1847 classic, Wuthering Heights, seems to have had everyone gripped for months - and now it’s finally on our screens. Whatever your thoughts on the film, it’s rare that a production provides an opportunity for both set-jetting and literary tourism - but, as much as critics have raised eyebrows at Fennell’s various departures from the novel, one vital aspect has been retained: the wild Yorkshire moors that provide the story’s physical and emotional landscape.

Where Music Becomes Architecture: Inside Aria Hotel Budapest

17th February 2026

Budapest is a city that already feels orchestrated. Its grand boulevards rise and fall like crescendos, thermal waters hum beneath its streets, and history lingers in the air like a familiar melody. From the ornate cafés of the 19th century to the raw beauty of its ruin bars, Budapest is layered, expressive, and deeply emotional. It is a city that does not simply exist, it performs. Tucked into this musical landscape, just steps from St. Stephen’s Basilica, Aria Hotel Budapest does not merely respond to the city. It converses with it. Here, music is not a theme, but a language, a philosophy, and a way of inhabiting space.

POST Family Resort: A Four-Star Family Neverland in the...

10th February 2026

POST Family Resort is a four-star family neverland we could happily return to again and again. What many don’t realise is that the property carries over 400 years of history. Once a postal station — hence the name POST — the building changed hands in 1955 before eventually finding its true identity in 1985 as a small, family-run hotel with just 25 rooms. Today, after extensive renovations, POST has evolved beautifully for modern families who value comfort, thoughtfulness and quality, without losing its soul.

Das Central Sölden: Where Alpine Precision Meets 007 Glamour

27th January 2026

This five-star Tyrolean gem delivers award-winning wellness facilities including a heart-stopping infinity pool and culinary excellence that rewards every muscle-aching moment on the slopes. Tucked away in one of the Ötztal Valley's most storied ski villages, Das Central Sölden represents a compelling study in modern alpine hospitality. This five-star property has carved out a distinctive position in Tyrol's competitive luxury market, balancing contemporary design sensibilities with the region's heritage of mountain escapism. That Sölden served as the dramatic backdrop for a pivotal scene in Spectre speaks to its visual appeal, though the resort's merits extend well beyond its cinematic associations.
