Paris is at its best when art, fashion, and history meet, and right now the city is staging exhibitions that make your Paris Fashion Week trip irresistible. Each show feels like stepping into a world of visionaries, where craftsmanship and imagination reshape how we see style and culture.

What makes them remarkable is not just the beauty of the pieces but how they’re displayed, inviting you to slow down and take in the details. The settings themselves are part of the experience, from grand museums to intimate galleries, adding another layer of wonder. For anyone who travels for inspiration, these exhibitions belong on the calendar.

Isn’t it time to plan your next Paris escape around fashion?n

Standing on the shore of the world’s most striki

Standing on the shore of the world’s most striking beaches is like stepping into a dream you didn’t know you had. These places are where nature experiments with colour, creating landscapes that feel almost unreal.

Travelling to see them is not just about ticking off a destination, it’s about immersing yourself in an experience few have witnessed. If you could choose just one of these extraordinary beaches to visit next, which would it be?

Vietnam’s most compelling restaurants understand

Vietnam’s most compelling restaurants understand that dining is as much about place as it is about flavour. In Ho Chi Minh City, intimate counters and design-led spaces create a focus on the plate, where chefs blend local ingredients with a global precision. In Da Nang, the energy is more open, inviting you to linger over dry-aged steaks or seafood pulled from nearby waters.

These are restaurants worth travelling for, each one offering a sense of occasion that feels entirely natural. When you plan your next trip, which of these tables will you secure first?

Traveling with pets is no longer a challenge but a

Traveling with pets is no longer a challenge but a luxury of its own.

From the elegant shores of Mykonos to the countryside estates of the UK, pet-friendly hotels are transforming the way we travel with our four-legged companions. These luxurious retreats not only welcome pets but pamper them with tailored amenities, spacious suites, and outdoor adventures.

For travellers seeking luxury pet-friendly hotels in Europe or the best vacation spots with dogs, these destinations offer the perfect blend of indulgence and inclusion.

Floating between the serenity of still water and t

Floating between the serenity of still water and the allure of design-led luxury, these swimming pools transform a getaway into an immersive escape. Each location offers its own rhythm, from tranquil mornings with reflections dancing overhead to warm afternoons spent drifting between sun and shade. Here, time slows, conversations stretch, and every swim feels like part of a private ritual.

The best luxury hotels know a pool is more than a place to swim - it’s a stage for memory-making. Whether you seek the calm of a secluded courtyard, a chic indoor retreat, or a horizon that melts into the sea, these are destinations worth planning a trip around.

Which one would you dive into first?

There is a clarity in waking up alone in a place t

There is a clarity in waking up alone in a place that gently asks, “What next?” Every choice matters because the only approval you seek is your own. That awareness, the sense that your trip is unfolding on your terms, is what it means to travel with main character energy.

Those places let you choose your own path. You might stop in a bookstore because the window caught your eye. You might stay by the water because the thought of moving on feels unnecessary. Your decisions are small, maybe unremarkable, but entirely yours.

Travel shaped by intuition is richer. It becomes a collection of moments that resonate because you allowed them to sink in. A table chosen for its light. A gesture from a local that felt like a quiet welcome. A path taken simply because it looked interesting. These are the scenes that linger.

Paresa Resort in Phuket delivers a rare kind of lu

Paresa Resort in Phuket delivers a rare kind of luxury where every element feels considered and in harmony with its surroundings. The ocean views aren’t just a backdrop, they’re part of the experience, visible from your villa, the infinity pool, and even the dining tables. Service is intuitive, the atmosphere is calm, and the design quietly amplifies the beauty of the Andaman Sea.

It’s a place where privacy meets style, and where days flow easily between indulgent dining, restorative spa time, and simply absorbing the view. For those looking for the best places to stay in Phuket, this is a destination worth travelling for.

Would you choose to arrive and never leave?

Using your birth month to pick a hotel isn’t sci

Using your birth month to pick a hotel isn’t science but it’s a surprisingly fun way to look at places that might not have been on the radar. There are patterns: people born in certain months tend to gravitate toward specific energies - slower mornings, louder nights, sharper aesthetics, or softer edges.
Hotels that align with how different people like to experience things. For travellers tired of the usual search results, it’s a fresh filter. The best places to go, based on something personal - not an algorithm.

Sometimes the time of year you were born is a better guide than a trending destination list.

Mykonos has a way of making every drink feel like

Mykonos has a way of making every drink feel like the first sip of summer. From rooftop terraces where cocktails come with panoramic Aegean Sea views to beach clubs where the soundtrack is the sound of waves, this island knows how to set the scene.

If you’re planning where to drink in Mykonos, the best cocktail bars here are as much about the atmosphere as the mixology. Which of these would be your first stop?

A spa trip can completely reset the way you feel a

A spa trip can completely reset the way you feel about travel. These luxury escapes are not just about treatments but about slipping into a slower rhythm where every moment feels indulgent. Imagine the stillness before a morning swim, the warmth of a private sauna, or the view from a hydrotherapy pool as evening light softens outside.

The best spa hotels in the UK and beyond are places where design, service, and atmosphere align to make you feel entirely looked after. Each has its own personality, yet all share a dedication to creating space for deep rest and renewal.

If you could step away for a few days, where would you choose to recharge first?

In Scotland’s Highland Perthshire, days can move

In Scotland’s Highland Perthshire, days can move as quickly or as slowly as you choose. From the edge of a tranquil loch, Fonab Castle offers a way to experience Pitlochry that is less about rushing between sights and more about letting the landscape, the culture, and the town’s rhythm shape your time.

With theatre, hiking trails, whisky tastings, and quiet moments all within easy reach, it is the kind of stay that makes you want to unpack once and see how the days arrange themselves.

Bali’s nightlife is a world within the island, where each venue delivers a distinct signature. Some nights begin with sunset over the ocean, music slowly building until the dance floor is full. Others start in intimate lounges where cocktails are crafted like fine art before the energy shifts toward a pulsing beat. The island’s top clubs draw international DJs, stylish travellers, and a crowd that understands how to pace a night until the early hours. From beachfront scenes to dramatic interiors, every space feels designed for immersion.

In a place where nights can stretch endlessly, which address will you claim for your most unforgettable party in Bali?

This summer, Europe’s most sought-after coastlin

This summer, Europe’s most sought-after coastlines are becoming curated playgrounds for fashion-minded travellers. In Portofino, Forte dei Marmi, Saint-Tropez, and Ibiza, heritage labels like Dolce & Gabbana and Loro Piana are shaping entire beach experiences, from bespoke design details to discreet, attentive service.

These destinations aren’t simply places to spend the day; they’re where taste, leisure, and setting align. If your travel plans value both style and atmosphere, securing a sun-lounger here feels as essential as booking the flight.

Which of these shores will frame your next perfect summer?

Mexico City is home to one of the strongest Michel

Mexico City is home to one of the strongest Michelin star restaurant lineups in the world, and it’s only getting better. These are the date night destinations where every detail is intentional, from the first glass poured to the final bite. The mood takes over the moment you walk in.

The range is exceptional, from intimate tasting menus to mezcalerías with precision-driven plates, led by chefs who balance innovation with tradition. You’ll move through neighbourhoods and styles, yet the level of excellence never wavers. One evening might begin with a quiet courtyard dinner under candlelight and end with a multi-course masterpiece where every dish feels like poetry.

If you value where your time and appetite go, start here. Which of these Michelin star date night spots is calling your name first?

Some gardens aren’t just beautiful – they feel l

Some gardens aren’t just beautiful - they feel like destinations in themselves. The kind of places where every path pulls you toward a new perspective, where light moves differently, and silence feels like part of the design. Traveling to the world’s most remarkable gardens is a reminder that luxury isn’t always about marble lobbies or infinity pools - it can be a centuries-old oak, a hidden water feature, or a perfectly framed view that feels entirely yours. These are the gardens you plan a trip around, the ones that linger in memory as vividly as any city skyline.

Among the best places to go for travellers who collect experiences over things, the question is simple: which garden will claim your next perfect afternoon?

Evenings in Vienna unfold like a quiet invitation.

Evenings in Vienna unfold like a quiet invitation. Step beyond the museums and palaces, and the city rewards you with candlelit courtyards, golden rooftops, and wine bars that feel like well-kept secrets. Luxury here lies in the way the light hits the Danube at dusk, or how a glass of Grüner Veltliner tastes better after wandering through cobbled streets. This is the side of Vienna seasoned travellers come back for: a city that slows down just enough to let you savour it.

If you’re planning your next European escape and want the perfect mix of culture, style, and atmosphere, why not make Vienna your evening playground?

Rockliffe Hall is one of those rare destinations w

Rockliffe Hall is one of those rare destinations where every moment feels like a quiet indulgence. Tucked into the County Durham countryside, it’s the kind of place where mornings begin with mist over the golf course and afternoons linger in a world-class spa that redefines relaxation. The suites strike that perfect balance of elegance and comfort, making it hard to leave - but the estate invites exploration, from serene woodland walks to fine dining that celebrates local ingredients with finesse.

It’s a retreat that feels designed for travellers who collect experiences, not just stays. If you’re curating your list of the UK’s best luxury escapes, Rockliffe Hall belongs near the top.

There’s a compelling calm to Matfen Hall that surprises even seasoned travellers. This Jacobean country mansion, recently restored with meticulous attention, feels alive in the quiet glow of its stained‑glass Great Hall, the warmth of its carved wood, and the expansive views across pristine parkland. Spa days here mean swimming beneath a glass roof, followed by treatments that leave skin and spirit glowing .

Dining unfolds across elegant restaurants - Emerald for tasting‑menu finesse, and The Cloisters mezzanine for informal evenings framed by soaring Gothic windows. Combine thoughtful wellness, history steeped in every stone, and views that stretch for miles, and you’ll see why Matfen Hall belongs on any list of best places to go in the UK.

Would you plan your next escape here?

The smarter the celebration, the less likely it co

The smarter the celebration, the less likely it comes in a box. Birthdays, anniversaries, promotions – they don’t need wrapping, they need context. The best kind of luxury is the kind you can step into, live inside, and remember without scrolling back through your camera roll. That’s why more people are skipping the shopping spree and booking a trip instead.

A milestone should leave a mark. A scent of salt on your skin after a morning swim. A plate of something rich you never thought you’d order. The feeling that time has stretched because you chose to spend it well. You could spend the same amount on a handbag. But a luxury trip comes with a view, a soundtrack, a version of you that only shows up when everything else is dialled down.

Celebration travel works differently. You don’t plan it to impress anyone. You go because something in your life shifted, and you want to feel that shift in your surroundings.

Rio rewards those who linger at the table. The cit

Rio rewards those who linger at the table. The city’s restaurants capture its rhythm in subtle ways - sunlight off the water, a Caipirinha mixed tableside, the quiet theatre of seafood arriving straight from the morning boats. Some evenings are all about precision tasting menus; others are a long lunch that stretches into golden hour, surrounded by locals who know they’ve claimed the best seats in town.

The only real challenge is deciding which table will make your night unforgettable - where would you book first?

Richmond feels like London’s secret escape, wher

Richmond feels like London’s secret escape, where the city exhales into riverside calm without losing its cosmopolitan edge. Wandering here is an indulgence - morning walks along the Thames, afternoons discovering tucked-away galleries, and evenings in elegant hotels where service feels effortless and views stretch into postcard-worthy sunsets. It’s the kind of place where luxury is in the details - a glass of wine overlooking the water, a quiet terrace surrounded by history, and the sense that time moves differently here.

For travellers seeking the best places to go in London for a refined, yet vibrant stay, Richmond delivers an experience that lingers long after you leave.
When was the last time a city made you slow down and savour every moment?

Staircases are having a moment – not just in archi

Staircases are having a moment - not just in architecture, but across social media. In design-forward hotels, stairs have become the shot. Clean lines, dramatic lighting, rich textures - they do more than connect floors, they frame your feed. These “selfie stairs” are part of a growing trend: beautifully made spaces people actually want to shoot.

Here’s where they begin - from Mykonos to Morocco, London to the Alps. If you’re into hotels that understand visual impact and subtle drama, you’re going to want to bookmark these.

There’s a reason Prague keeps showing up on lists of the best places to go for food lovers. The city balances tradition and experimentation. Menus are thoughtful, rooms are beautifully lit, and the pace feels right. From quiet corners near the Vltava to rooftop views over the Old Town, these restaurants understand both setting and craft.

The best travel days start with real sleep. When a

The best travel days start with real sleep. When a hotel gets the bed right, everything else follows. You have more energy, more patience, and a better sense of place. These hotels are consistent on the details that matter - supportive mattresses, quiet, high-quality bedding, and spaces designed to let your body actually rest. That’s what makes them worth booking.

Each one brings a different setting - city, coast, countryside - but the standard doesn’t shift. If you care about how you feel on your trip, start with where you sleep. These are hotels that prioritise recovery as much as experience. It’s a small decision that improves everything that comes after.

Which one fits into your next itinerary?

If you’re mapping out the best places to visit in the English countryside, this one earns a place high on the list. The Manor House balances heritage and detail with just the right amount of elevation. It’s quiet luxury in the most literal sense - textures, views, light, rhythm.

The location works year-round, but there’s something about a cool evening and a warm soak, or breakfast with mist across the garden, that stays with you long after check-out.

So, are you adding this to your autumn itinerary or saving it for spring?

Hong Kong is one of the best cities in the world for bar design, and it’s not just about aesthetics. These places are built by people who understand space, sound, light, and rhythm. You walk in and know the night’s going to hold your attention. Sharp detail and strong identity.

If you’re looking for where to go in Hong Kong that actually delivers on atmosphere, this is where the bar is set.

Which one’s already in your itinerary?
