The Pavilions Phuket: A Private World Above the Island
21st May 2026
When the entrance to The Pavilions Phuket finally reveals itself, almost deliberately unmarked between two walls of dense green, you sense immediately that this is not a place interested in spectacle. A thick canopy parts, then closes quietly behind you, as if the outside world has been gently dismissed, whilst a seated Buddha presides over the threshold. What follows is an arrival with an exhale. Now in its third decade, The Pavilions Phuket occupies a distinct position on the island. It doesn’t feel the need to compete with Phuket’s beachfront energy, nor does it attempt to replicate it. Instead, it withdraws upwards, into the hillside, where villas are scattered across a landscape expansive enough to require buggies as a necessity. Thankfully, this is not a place for the beach club circuit.
Zafiro Palace Andratx: Under the Five-Star Sky
20th May 2026
I have never understood the appeal of camping. The idea of sleeping in a field voluntarily, fighting with tent poles and pretending a torch attached to your forehead is somehow charming has simply never resonated with me. If I’m going to sleep under the stars, I would strongly prefer them to come attached to a five-star hotel, excellent wine and a bathroom bigger than my first London flat. Which is precisely why Zafiro Palace Andratx works so dangerously well on me.
48 Hours in Rome During the Italian Open
15th May 2026
If you’re in Rome for the Italian Open, it’s tempting to treat the city as a backdrop to the tennis. That would be a mistake. The tournament at the Foro Italico runs on its own rhythm, which leaves plenty of time to move in and out of the city rather than staying fixed in one place. With two days, you can do both without rushing.

Luxury Redefined: Capella at Galaxy Macau
11th May 2026
Seven-star hotel experiences are rare to come by. Think Burj Al Arab in Dubai. Think La Mamounia in Marrakech. Few will dispute that they are the finest hotels in the Middle East and Africa.

In Prada We Trust: The Ultimate Milan City Guide
8th May 2026
The long-awaited sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is finally on our screens, reuniting the original cast twenty years after Miranda Priestly’s withering contempt made Meryl Streep even more of an icon than she already was (if such a thing is possible). The new release sees Andy (Anne Hathaway) returning to Runway in a features editor role, but that’s not to say that she doesn’t get to visit one of the fashion capitals of the world - Milan. And while Fashion Week is already over for this year, fashion is a constant, not a calendar event, in this glamorous Italian hotbed of style. It is, after all, the home of the sciura - the archetypal Milanese woman known for her impeccable dress sense and attention to quality, detail and elegance. If you want to immerse yourself in sophistication and quiet luxury, Milan is your city. “That’s all.”
Twinpalms Tented Camp Phuket: Luxe Safari Style
6th May 2026
There is something quietly disarming about arriving at Twinpalms Tented Camp Phuket. Not because it is remote (it isn’t), but because it feels like it has edited the world down to its most essential, seductive elements: canvas, light, water, air.
Where Wellness Meets Wonder: A Family Stay at Evian Resort
29th April 2026
Travelling as a family of four our Easter break began with a seamless private transfer from Geneva Airport, winding through Alpine roads for just over an hour before the hotel revealed itself, grand, serene, and impossibly cinematic. Yet nothing quite prepared us for the arrival moment, the French President, Emmanuel Macron was in residence ahead of the upcoming G7 Summit in June, and within minutes we found ourselves unexpectedly meeting him. A quick photo, a flurry of security, and wide-eyed excitement from our children Zachary and Ava, it was the kind of surreal, once-in-a-lifetime welcome that instantly set the tone.
