Luxury

Flying directly into the tiny airport of Bolzano from Gatwick with SkyAlps makes the journey into South Tyrol unusually simple. Within half an hour of landing you are driving through the Val d’Ega, its meadows and forests framed by the jagged peaks of the Rosengarten and Latemar. Nestled in this landscape is Engel Ayurpura, the first dedicated Ayurveda hotel in the Dolomites and one of only two in Italy.

Set the scene
Before Bora Bora, before overwater villas became shorthand for South Pacific luxury, there was the InterContinental Tahiti. Opened in 1974 and refreshed multiple times since, this sprawling resort sits just 10 minutes from Papeete’s airport and is often used as a stopover before or after a cruise of Polynesia, but it deserves more than a cursory glance. The rambling buildings sit in lush tropical planting and the seafront position provides views of Moorea on the horizon.

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt.

Norton was born in Birmingham in 1898. In 1902, Norton unleashed their maiden motorcycle onto the world, and by 1907, they were already racing and winning, taking a win at the inaugural IoM TT .

This week, Norton started revealing to the world a new era for the brand. They are about to turn the page on the next chapter of the Norton story. 

When it comes to cosmetic treatments, brows are quietly transformative. They change nothing, yet somehow change everything. And Nez Hasan is widely regarded as one of the best in the business.

Known for her natural, softly structured aesthetic, Nez has built a reputation as one of the most trusted microblading specialists in the UK. Her client list includes some of the most recognisable (and carefully groomed) faces in London - Emma Willis and Edward Enninful among them - and her name is often passed between those in the know.

If you’ve ever met Dr Brendan Khong, you’ll know one thing immediately: his skin is immaculate. Glassy, poreless, somehow both glowing and calm at the same time. People want what he has. Unsurprisingly, he works hard for it. A rising name on London’s aesthetics scene, Dr Khong combines serious medical credentials with a meticulous approach to skincare that’s built around one principle: consistency.

Whisky often gets framed as a finished product. But with The Wave, Bladnoch invites us to witness whisky as a process, fluid, experimental, and deliberately unresolved. Led by Master Distiller Dr Nick Savage, each release explores one of Bladnoch’s five production pillars, such as spirit character, time, or cask influence, layered across time using a system of progressive marrying tuns.

Right in the heart of Wardour Street, where Soho’s energy pulses through every neon sign and restaurant window, Kanpai Classic Soho stands out - not just for its sleek exterior but for what lies within: a bold reimagining of Japanese Wagyu dining. And when I say "reimagining", I mean it quite literally. This isn’t just a place for a good meal - it’s a steakhouse with a philosophy, a precision-crafted performance of meat, fire and flair, combining the elegance of a Kyoto tea ceremony with just enough Soho swagger to make it feel like the most exciting seat in town.

Tucked deep into the folded countryside of North Hampshire is a truly unique destination. One that marries the rustic honesty of its agrarian roots with an unapologetically sharp eye for rural luxury.
