The Capaldi Hotel, Atlas Mountains
There are many things Morocco has in abundance: excellent food, hours of sunshine, and – growing exponentially over the last five years – luxury accommodation options. The country is riding the wave of an ever-growing tourist boom, but rather than buckle under the pressure of additional demand, the sector has embraced unparalleled levels of serviceContinue reading “The Capaldi Hotel, Atlas Mountains”
Domaine de Métifiot, Provence
Nestled among the rolling hills of St-Rémy-de-Provence, through a valley so winding that it’s earned the name ‘Val de l’Enfer’ (the valley of death) lies an estate that has been owned by the same family for four generations.

Boulevard, Barcelona
Nowhere does day-to-night quite like Spain, a country where a liqueur coffee in the morning is perfectly acceptable, and where a night out can comfortably begin at 2am. We travelled to Barcelona to test the unique hybrid of a sit-down three-course meal that melts into a dance party. Boulevard is one of the city’s newerContinue reading “Boulevard, Barcelona”
