Set the scene
Just 15 minutes from Providenciales airport, at the quiet end of Grace Bay, Wymara Resort + Villas stands out for its modern minimalist styling. When you arrive your eye is drawn to the central palm-tree lined infinity pool and the white-sand beach and turquoise sea beyond. It’s a view that Caribbean dreams are made of.
Nestled on the third floor of London’s National Portrait Gallery (NPG) between Lord Byron’s amazing decorated folding screen of actors and boxers and a plethora of paintings from the early 1600s art including The Somerset House Conference (1604), one comes across a room of portraits by one of Poland’s most important artists, Stanisław Wyspiański (1869-1907). Critics have widely praised the works.
On a scorching hot weekend at the end of June, Ragley Hall was the venue for the Adventure Bike Rider Festival or ABR.
Set in 450 acres of beautiful parkland, in the heart of Shakespeare’s England, the Ragley estate overlooks the unspoilt Warwickshire countryside.
When exceptional English sparkling wine meets handcrafted British boats, the result is a celebration of heritage, taste, and unapologetic indulgence. To mark the launch of Roebuck Estates’ Rare Expressions No.96, guests were treated to a deliciously slow-paced, sun-drenched day on the River Thames—complete with vintage fizz, electric boats, picnic drawers, and a touch of Gatsby-esque grandeur.
Roebuck Estates: A Toast to English Elegance
Two hours drive from London and only 90 minutes by train from London’s Paddington Station, and set, like Jerusalem and Rome, amongst seven hills is the city of Bath (www.visitbath.co.uk). The city centre is fantastically accessible and walking about is a real pleasure both visually and practically. Very at ease with itself with a vibe that’s genteel and civilised and very clean. Here is the Abbey, clean and light with its fan vaulting to heaven, and the beautifully-preserved Roman Baths.
For decades, wine storage has remained largely functional, often relegated to the shadows of kitchens and utility rooms. Smoked glass, humming fans, and brushed steel: useful, certainly, but rarely something to show off. EuroCave’s new Harmonie changes that. Quietly radical in form and finish, this is a wine cabinet that doesn’t try to hide; it holds its own alongside serious furniture.
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.
Australia is known for many things, including tropical beaches, marine reserves, Aboriginal culture, koalas and kangaroos, rolling wine country, lush rainforests and several World-Cup winning cricket and rugby teams.
One thing I was not aware of is that Australia is the second largest Wagyu beef producer in the world, after Japan. And that it is the largest Wagyu exporter in the world, which equates to 67,000 tonnes or 85% of its 300,000 strong herd, which ends up overseas.
It was stage four of the Maserati GranTurismo Tour—a frivolous, fuel-scented pilgrimage through England’s more indulgent corners—when we found ourselves descending upon Guildford. Not the obvious locale for an evening of overt Asian excess, granted, but then again, neither is a V6 Ferrari-derived engine purring through the Surrey Hills in sport mode. And yet here we were: pistons cooled, collars unbuttoned, and a reservation secured at the impossibly opulent Ivy Asia.
What sort of tour would best suit the brutish, brooding elegance of the new 2025 Mustang Dark Horse? The most muscly of muscle cars, and without doubt the best-looking beast ever to gallop out of the Ford stable, surely deserves something cinematic. Because nothing says subtle symbolism like photographing this snorting V8 beast alongside a real-life stallion — with hooves and attitude.
