In an age of repurposing - objects, spaces, textiles - there are few among us who don’t love to see an old building having new life breathed into it, rather than razed. Even so, restoration isn’t always carried out sympathetically, with reverence for the bones of the original construction.

W Ibiza: Island Luxury, Amplified

24th July 2026

Some hotels ease you in gently. At W Ibiza, the impact feels immediate. From the moment guests arrive, it’s hard to ignore the strong current that runs through the place. Here, welcomes feel less like a check-in and more like an invitation. A call to sit back and relish the charm of Ibiza as it washes over you in waves.

The Best Places and Times to See the Northern Lights in 2026

23rd July 2026

In Brief The Sybarite’s 2026 guide lists the best places to see the Northern Lights such as Tromsø, Lofoten, Abisko, Kiruna, Iceland, Yellowknife, Whitehorse, Fairbanks, and more. Abisko is popular for “Blue Hole,” a portion of clear sky, even when nearby areas are cloudy. Iceland is located just below the Arctic Circle and near the North Pole and has minimal light pollution. Tromsø, also called the “Gateway to the Arctic, is popular for high aurora activity. Best Season: September to early April.

How To Holiday With A Baby

20th July 2026

The first time packing for a family holiday with your baby is a true shock to the system; a feat of organisation and preparation to make your head spin. You can’t quite fathom how much additional STUFF this tiny person can require, as you write and re-write packing lists, getting perilously close to exceeding your baggage allowance. Whether a weekend staycation, or far-flung two week island escape, you soon realise you need just as much, regardless of the duration. However, before you pack the literal kitchen sink, review this edit to make life in your home away from home infinitely easier — from whizzy tech, to sleep aids and compact travel solutions, these clever essentials will add order and calm, protect precarious sleep schedules, and allow everyone to enjoy some much needed downtime.

Hotel Riomar Ibiza: Balance Restored

17th July 2026

There are two sides to Ibiza. One is defined by beach clubs, late nights and a high-octane energy that rarely subsides. The other is quieter, characterised by mornings that begin with the sound of gentle waves, hidden coves dotted along the coast, and a pace of life shaped by wellbeing rather than nightlife. Riomar Ibiza, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, firmly leans into the latter, bringing together restorative wellness rituals alongside Mediterranean charm.

It currently has a fleet of three ocean-going vessels: Lucy Mary, Emma Jane, and Elizabeth G. Each has its own quirks and charms, but the experience is shaped by the same four-person crew: skipper, chef, steward, and wildlife guide.

With its crystalline beaches, punchy cuisine and affordable rates, Phuket is every inch a backpacker’s paradise.

24th June 2026

In recent years, travel priorities have fundamentally shifted from checking off countless countries to seeking transformative experiences. While cities offer memorable sights, true travel is defined by experiences that create lasting impressions and reshape personal perspectives - whether that’s witnessing the northern lights in Arctic silence, exploring ancient ruins at dawn, or observing wildlife in undisturbed habitats. Such immersive moments are the real catalysts for memories that last a lifetime.

Ella Álkyna: The Greek Escape For Grown Ups

22nd June 2026

Greece is not exactly short on beautiful hotels. Nor is it short on whitewashed promises of barefoot bliss, infinity pools and seafood lunches that appear to have been art directed by the (Greek) gods. The challenge, these days, is finding a Greek island escape that still feels graceful rather than overexposed. Somewhere with the sun and the sea, yes, but also a little quiet. A little culture. A little grown-up restraint. Ella Álkyna, the newest adults-only resort from Ella Resorts, makes a compelling case for Corfu as the answer.

There is something undeniably seductive about Rhodes in spring. Before the summer crowds arrive and the temperatures begin to climb, the island feels wonderfully composed - long stretches of untouched beach tickling the sparkling Aegean sea, which in turn glitters beneath a cloudless sky. It is the perfect time to revel in the scent of bougainvillea and enjoy the warm sea breeze whilst sipping on a freshly prepared cocktail or enjoying your final sea dip of the day.

The Art of the Algarve

17th June 2026

Dabbing away at a white tile, the tip of my fine brush dipped in cobalt blue paint, a swallow in flight began to take shape. These birds appear everywhere in Portuguese culture, symbolising fidelity and home - a desire to return to the nest; a strong bond with family. Indeed, the ceramicist overseeing our attempts to create our own azulejos - the decorative glazed tiles seen all over the country, smothering both interior and exterior walls - was Margarida Palma Gomes, the mother of our hiking guide, Francisco. His ecotourism operation, Algarvian Roots was established in 2020 with the aim of promoting appreciation of the Algarve via time outdoors combined with cultural and artistic immersion. It’s easy to see how the two prongs align: time in nature has long inspired artists of all disciplines.

NH Collection Ibiza: Where Revelry Meets Refinement

10th June 2026

Ibiza is often reduced to a single narrative: day parties, superclubs and excess. Yet beyond the Champagne showers and sunrise DJ sets lies another side of the White Isle - one steeped in history, design, gastronomy, and understated luxury. For travellers looking to experience both worlds, NH Collection Ibiza strikes the perfect balance.
