Holiday like Rami Malek, who
rates Mandarin Oriental,
Bodrum due to its
“tranquility and
peace”. The actor
is the newest
ambassador
for Mandarin
Oriental’s global
ad campaign “He’s
a Fan/She’s a Fan”.

Be inspired by
The Emirates
Airline Festival
of Literature
in Dubai (1-
March), which
has an engaging
line-up of sessions,
including the Happy
Ever After talk devoted to
crafting fairy-tale endings.

Monte-Carlo Société
des Bains de Mer in
Monaco boasts
the highest
number of
Michelin stars
of any resort in
Europe. The title
was clinched thanks to
a star recently awarded to Le
Grill (headed by Chef Franck
Cerutti), bringing the resort’s
total number to seven.

We’re loving the collab
between TUMI and father-
daughter duo Lenny and Zoë
Kravitz, which was shot in the
Bahamas. “It was amazing to
travel to the other
side of the island
for my first time
to see where my
family originated
from and to pay
respect to our
elders and those
who came before
us,” says Zoë.

NEW HOTELS


ADD TO ITINERARY


Louvre Abu Dhabi

STAY... SHANGHAI
Nicknamed ‘the earthscraper’, the
subterranean InterContinental
Shanghai Wonderland in Sheshan has
been built directly into the side wall
of a quarry that was decommissioned
for over a decade. Just two floors are
above ground while 16 stretch below the
surface, with the lowest two submerged
inside an hypnotic aquarium.


RESERVE... BANGKOK
Set on the riverbank of the Chao
Phray, the ultra-luxurious, all-suite
Capella Bangkok, opening in Q2, is
courting tastemakers with its signature
restaurant by Michelin-starred chef


Mauro Colagreco and Asian spa
therapies. Chill at The Capella Living
Room, which brings the neighbourhood
vibe to life with its hip line-up of local
artisans, music and culinary events.

WAIT FOR IT... DUBAI
You’ll have to hold tight until
September, but when JA Lake View
Hotel opens, it’ll make JA The Resort
in Jebel Ali Dubai’s largest experience
resort. Adding a further 348 rooms and
suites to the 128-acre holiday haven, it
promises restaurant concepts driven
by Michelin-star chefs, three outdoor
swimming pools and a rooftop bar with
views of the golf course and the sea.
