Since 2014, husband-and-wife team Oliver and Cat Barker, guided by the wisdom of Oliver’s grandfather Ken, have breathed new life into a 60-year-old North Yorkshire dairy farm whilst also raising a family. The humble beginnings of a simple camping field within the Bolton […]
Wānaka has a habit of making you feel as if the world has been turned up a notch. What we call locally the ‘big skies’, and the varying blues of the glacial rivers and lakes settle a light on the landscape that photographers love and that’s best seen from a helicopter. The mountains look close […]

It’s tinged with saltwater and volcanic earth; with every breath, giving you a sense of the natural, pristine state of the archipelago; a place where life moves at a gentler pace. Giant tortoises lumber through open spaces as if they own the […]
At the bottom of the mighty Mt. Kilimanjaro lies the beautiful Amboseli National Park, known for being the home of the super tuskers.

It becomes less about seeing everything and more about sharing the time. New […]

The 2026 solar eclipse in Mallorca that will overshadow any other destination for your 2026 travel plans and now is the perfect time to start planning your visit to witness it with your own eyes. […]

Communal meals. It’s a structure most accept as part of the deal. But what if that’s not the way a safari is meant to be enjoyed? As a […]
The Fish Hotel is an inviting take on Scandi-cool-comfort and contemporary country living. Delivering hygge for the Cotswolds, The Fish is an innovative country retreat, a rural playground of some 500 acres on the Gloucestershire and Worcestershire borders. Home to buzzards, deer and foxes, as well as weary urbanites and salivating foodies. More rural community […]
The car rental counter at Keflavík Airport is always busy. Visitors collect their keys, load up on insurance options they half-understand, and drive into a landscape that looks, from the terminal window, like it should be easy. Wide roads, no traffic, open sky. Forty minutes later, somewhere on a coastal highway, the wind picks up. […]

During our most recent vegan luxury travel adventures throughout Southeast Asia, we have been impressed by how seriously luxury hotels are taking plant based dining. In Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore, Bali, and Saigon, we found hotels that don’t just offer a token vegetarian or vegan option, but genuinely thoughtful and indulgent culinary experiences.

The landscape of high-end travel is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. For decades, the five-star hotel served as the undisputed benchmark for luxury, offering a reliable, if somewhat predictable, blend of quality and service.
