41 THE
CELEBRITY
SHOPPING
EXPERIENCE
No online experience
can quite compare to
that special feeling
you get when you step
into a luxury boutique.
“When a customer
walks into our store,
it’s supposed to feel
like a home – [with]
very luxurious
touches, such as the
handmade wallpaper.
It’s supposed to be
a journey,” says
Van Cleef & Arpels’
Asia-Pacific
president Catherine
Alix-Rénier of the
transformative
experience of
walking into the new
Sydney boutique (like
no home we have
ever known). And if
you buy a diamond
solitaire – Van Cleef
does only the most
“irreproachable
colour categories”: D
(exceptional white +)
and E (exceptional
white) – on your
way out, so be it.

Tropical resorts are
slowly wising up to
the need for a greater
eco-friendly focus –
from organic, on-site or
locally sourced produce,
to the use of grey water
on gardens and solar
panels for energy. Six
Senses was one of the
ꛜȱ•ž¡ž›¢ȱ‘˜Ž•ȱ›˜ž™œȱ
to nail a stay that’s good
for the planet without
feeling like a bad jungle
hostel. The new jewel in
the crown is Zil Pasyon,
a 30-villa outpost on the
private island of Félicité
in the Seychelles. Snorkel
in crystal-clear water,
dine on Creole-inspired
seafood caught fresh
that morning, take in
the view during a yoga
class or visit the just-
opened day spa (tucked
into the natural rock, it
could be the secret base
from Thunderbirds).
Even those who aren’t
much for a “do nothing”
getaway will struggle
to ꗍȱŠž•ǰȱ˜›ȱŽȱ
bored, here.
