RONALDO MAGIC AT PESTANA CR7 Pestana CR7 Lisboa, brainchild of football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, was voted ‘Europe’s Leading Lifestyle Hotel’ and Pestana CR7 Madrid named ‘Spain’s Leading Hotel’ by World Travel Awards.

64

BESTINTRAVELMAGAZINE.COM

Ronaldo, one of the greatest football players of all time, is also renowned for his off the field success – a shrewd entrepreneur, with successful ventures spanning different industries.

One of his best known is Pestana CR7 hotel chain, a collaboration with the Pestana Group.

The idea for the Pestana CR7 hotel chain came about when Ronaldo met Pestana CEO Dionisio. The two men began discussing the possibility of a hotel chain that would combine Ronaldo’s star power with Pestana’s in hospitality expertise.

Ronaldo said: “In my opinion, he’s the best guy to do business with in Portugal…

He’s from Madeira too, so it was a good partnership. He has the experience, not just in Portugal but all over the world…Dionisio is the number one and I’m the number one in football so, we have everything.”

The first Pestana CR7 hotel opened in Ronaldo’s hometown of Funchal, Madeira, in 2016, and has expanded to properties in New York, Madrid, Lisbon and Marrakech.

65

Technology and innovation are at the forefront. Each hotel features state-of-theart amenities, including virtual reality headsets, smart mirrors, and interactive walls. The hotels also incorporate a number of sustainable features, such as energy-efficient lighting and water-saving systems.

Ronaldo takes a strong interest in the design and marketing of the properties.

66

BESTINTRAVELMAGAZINE.COM

He works closely with the Pestana’s design team to create the distinctive aesthetic of the hotels. He also serves as the face of Pestana CR7, appearing in campaigns for hotels everywhere.

He is also a hands-on investor, holding a 50 percent stake in the venture.

According to reports, Ronaldo has invested around €40 million into the chain.

He has also been known to make surprise visits to the properties, check in with staff and guests, and offer feedback on everything from the food to the decor.

The success of the Pestana CR7 hotel chain is a testament to Ronaldo’s vision and business acumen. The brand has been recognized with a number of awards and accolades, including Portugal’s Leading Lifestyle

Hotel and Europe’s Leading Lifestyle Hotel by World Travel Awards.

Ronaldo’s partnership with the Pestana Group goes beyond just the hotel chain.

Ronaldo and Pestana are embarking on a new luxury real estate project in Madeira: Pestana Residences CR7.

The project involves an investment of €50 million and will be built on a plot of land owned by Ronaldo at Praia Formosa. The development will feature 88 apartments and will be a 50-50 partnership between Ronaldo and the Pestana Group.

VIRGIN ATLANTIC FLIES TOWARDS JET ZERO

The airline, voted ‘Europe’s Leading Airline to North America 2023’ by voters of World Travel Awards, plans to fly across the Atlantic from London Heathrow to New York JFK to test and showcase the feasibility of flying on 100 percent SAF. SAF is fuel derived from non-petroleum based renewable sources that 78

Virgin Atlantic’s net zero ambitions have taken a step forward with the carrier granted a permit by the Civil Aviation Authority to fly using fully sustainable aviation fuel.

is capable of being used as a replacement for, or blended with, kerosene. SAF can currently be used in jet engines to a maximum blend of 50 percent with traditional kerosene without the need for any modifications. When fully replacing kerosene, SAF could reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by over 70 percent compared to conventional fossil jet fuel.

The Civil Aviation Authority permit follows a programme of technical reviews by the regulator, which analysed different aspects of the planned flight, including undertaking ground testing with Rolls Royce on a Trent 1000 engine running on 100 percent SAF. Led by Virgin Atlantic, preparation for the flight

has involved a consortium of companies comprised of Boeing, Rolls-Royce and BP to demonstrate SAF as an alternative to regular jet fuel.

Shai Weiss, CEO of Virgin Atlantic said: “The Civil Aviation Authority’s permit to fly Flight100 marks a key milestone and a huge achievement for all the teams working towards this historic flight. Getting to this point has been more than a year in the making and taken radical collaboration across our consortium partners and government.”

Rob Bishton, Chief Executive at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, said: “This permit not only allows Virgin Atlantic

and others to showcase their commitment to sustainability, but also serves as an example of how the industry is always exploring new technologies.

“Innovation and sustainability are vital areas of work, but they must go hand in hand with safety. This is a reminder that together we can drive change, reduce emissions, and make the skies greener for generations to come.”

Transport Secretary Mark Harper said: “The world’s journey to decarbonising flight starts here in the UK, with today’s announcement helped by Government funding so people can continue to travel how they

want, in a way that’s fit for the future.

Virgin Atlantic were awarded up to £1 million UK government funding in December 2022, following a challenge from the Department for Transport to support the industry in achieving the first transatlantic flight on an aircraft powered by 100 percent SAF. The Permit is one of the approvals required for the flight and paves the way for Virgin Atlantic to submit applications to Federal Aviation Administration, Irish Aviation Authority, and Transport Canada to allow the flight to travel through US, Irish and Canadian airspace.

Because of the relative short distance between the two countries the routes are optimal for electric ferry transport.

Torben Carlsen, CEO, DFDS, says: “We have a shared ambition with the French Government to accelerate the transition to a greener future for the shipping industry. This is not an easy task. It requires significant investments in innovation, technology and infrastructure, and collaboration and partnerships between the public and private sectors.

Delphina Hotels & Resorts is family-run chain with five and four star destinations located on the north Sardinian coast. The island in the heart of the Mediterranean is famous for its nature, crystal clear water, monuments of the ancient Nuragic civilization, healthy life and genuine food.

Here two Sardinian entrepreneurs built a dozen four and five-start hotels, two exclusive residences, six spas and 24 villas, all immersed in green parks and in the pristine coastline between the Costa Smeralda, the Archipelago of La Maddalena and the Gulf of Asinara, in Gallura.

From the very beginning, Delphina was established on

sustainable principles, choice of the best location and made every single building fit harmoniously into the nature, continuing to balance luxury resorts with an eco-friendly management philosophy.

Every year it makes new goals and green investments: in 2023 green investments include the completion of two solar plants and the launch of a third project.

Another milestone added to the numerous sustainability projects already underway, foremost being the use of 100% green energy from renewable sources in all Delphina hotels and the main office.

146,089 trees annually. This effort culminated in the "We are green®" protocol, conceived and registered

by Delphina to symbolise its commitment to the environment.

TIGNES ON TOP FORM At 2,300m, Tignes Val Claret is one of the highest and most snow-sure resorts in the Alps

The high-altitude resort of Tignes enjoys some of the most snowsure slopes in the Alps, and is linked seamlessly by a world-class lift system.

Whilst the big story from the Alps last season was the lack of snow, with many resorts unable to open until well into January, on my New Year trip to Tignes I found quite the contrary: almost too much snow. Unable to resist the untouched powder

in between the groomed runs, I soon found myself floundering in waist-deep powder, and regretting not having packed my powder board to cut fresh tracks in the superb conditions.

Tignes is geographically blessed with some of the highest slopes in Europe.

The majority of the vast domain Tignes shares with neighbouring Val d’Isère lies above 2,000 metres.

So whilst the Alps has experienced an unseasonally warm start to the ski season, with the heavy rainfall at lower altitudes wiping out the snowbase, I’m in the midst of a powder fest up in Tignes.

More snow has fallen overnight so there’s only one place to head first: La Grande Motte, the highest summit in the region and home to some of Europe’s 143

Tignes, with 1,600 metres of uninterrupted vertical, and an endless choice of itineraries, both on and off piste. Skilled freeriders can opt for La Trilogie, a trio of Freeride World Tour itineraries, including the classic 48-degree Pramecou north face. Recreational folk like me, skiing with kids, have the choice of glorious marked runs that go on forever.

I could have spent my entire trip exploring the La Grand Motte playground, but it’s just one section of the massive Tignes-Val d'Isère area. On a five-day trip, we explored one area per day, giving a great taste for the finest glacier skiing. Getting to the top is all part of the adventure: a funicular railway (world’s fourth longest) up through the heart of the mountain, then a switch to a high-altitude cable car to the summit. It feels otherworldly up there, the snow is light, the air so crisp, and the panoramic views of the other great Alpine peaks – including Mont Blanc and Les Grandes Jorasses – leave you gazing in wonder.

Yet the best part is still to come: the descent back to 144

area whilst realising we would return to delve deeper.

One day we explored the runs around Aiguille Percée, a natural rock arch and alpine version of Durdle Door; the next discovering the slopes around La Tovière.

The lift system works so seamlessly you cover some serious kilometres in a day, and it was always our legs rather than time that got the better of us.

I was skiing with my two kids, who were spending only their second week on skis, so it

was a tricky balancing act of exploring new terrain whilst fuelling their appreciation for why a ski holiday is by far the best getaway you can do as a family.

A ski trip does however require extra planning to get things right. Unlike say a family beach holiday, in which a half-decent pool will keep the kids smiling, with skiing you have other variables. There’s the equipment and clothing, ski lessons, lift passes, corralling a family of mixed abilities

and adrenaline thresholds, not to mention praying the snow gods will deliver. And none of this in the midst of credit squeeze comes cheap.

At times, you question if it’s worth the hassle, but when the sun is out and the snow good, everything clicks.

The operator of Tignes, STGM, has retained a policy to keep skiing an affordable and an equalitarian pastime.

Children under 8s ski for free, under-18s have discounted passes, whilst the five villages incorporate superb 145

beginner areas with free lifts.

This worked out so well for my wife, who’d never skied and found the easy access to facilities at Tignes Les Lac a joy to learn on, and whet her appetite to return for more.

The skiing for all approach has its root in Charles de Gaulle’s post-war Fifth Republic, which facilitated a national plan of connecting

Resorts including Tignes, Les Arcs, Val Thorens, Flaine and La Plagne pushed the boundaries of mass alpine

In these credit-squeezed times, I set out to see if I could still get the family to the Alps on a tight budget.

We bagged a week during the peak New Year season, staying in traditional Savoyard village of Tignes Les Brévières to keep costs down. Equipment hire we booked online and collected from the local Intersport. We kept food costs to a minimum by shopping in the local supermarket and making full use of the kitchen, as well as packing sandwiches for lunch. Throughout the ski area, we also found prices for food and drink fair and the quality decent.

For the ultimate in highaltitude gastronomy there’s Jean-Michel Bouvier’s Le Panoramic at the Grand Motte mid-station. On the accommodation side too, you can find the very best in sumptuous living. The brand new Club Med Tignes Resort brings all-inclusive sparkle to Tarantaise. Chalet Charlie Tango and Chalet Banksy Tribute are among the host of alpine palaces for high-fliers wanting to experience Tignes from upwards of €30k.

were there to ski, rather than seen to be skiing. Tignes is a purist’s resort, big and confident yet friendly and brimming with joie de vivre.

It’s impossible not to be seduced by the world-class terrain, the brilliant lift system, and the fun activities after the slopes close. And everyone, from the shop staff to lift team, exudes a warmth that comes with living in an alpine paradise.

Time to taste #TimeToBe

It’s time to flow. Leave the sense of urgency behind and toast to the best of life without barriers, without the clock ticking.

Say hello to long and slow shared meals, flavours and aromas of the olden days. Let’s go back to craving for togetherness.

It’s time to taste. It’s time to be.

TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

WITH THE RETURN OF INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL, THE GEORGIAN CITY OF BATUMI IS RAPIDLY ESTABLISHING ITSELF AS ONE OF EUROPE’S MOST EXCITING DESTINATIONS.

Batumi enjoys a delightful setting on the shores of the Black Sea, with a backdrop of the soaring snow-capped Adjara Mountains.

The capital of the autonomous Adjara region is home to a delightful belle époque old town, which has been restored to its original glory.

It also offers a scintillating mix of old and new thanks to a construction boom that is transforming its skyline, with new hotels and glistening towers.

TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

1 ENDLESS SUMMER

Famed for its summer season, Batumi is a fascinating destination in spring and autumn.

Visitors can sunbathe or swim from May, whilst sea temperatures are still ideal for bathing into October due to the long Indian summers. As well as the sea, visitors can also trek to the amazing mountains of Adjara, which soar up to 2,500 m above sea level.

TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

2 OLD MEETS NEW

Batumi is one of the oldest cities in Georgia, and the initial settlement “Batus” dates back to the 4th century BC. The city’s unique history has contributed to its vast architectural diversity. In the 19th century, during the “Porto Franco” period, European architects completed a number of interesting architectural projects.

During the Soviet era, Batumi was developed into a popular seaport and tourist destination.

3 ADJARIAN CUISINE & WINE

Georgian cuisine offers an amazing array of cooking techniques. In mountainous Adjara, dairy products are common ingredients in many dishes. Boat-shaped Adjarian khachapuri is one of the most famous Adjarian dishes. Sweets also play an important role in Adjarian cuisine. Viticulture is an essential component of Georgian culture, with around 50 different grape species in Adjara that are still used in wine production to this very day.

4 BEAUTIFUL BOTANICAL GARDENS

For the scent of plants and flowers in an incredible coastal setting head to Batumi Botanical Garden. The garden features a thousand species of astonishingly beautiful and unique flowers. The plants derive from completely different climatic and landscape zones yet grow together in harmony. For example, the garden has Canary Palms growing side by side with Japanese Sakuras.

6 WANDER AROUND THE OLD TOWN

The Old Town in Batumi is a charming place to wander around. Many of its building date back to the 19th century when Batumi was an important port along the route from Europe to the Caspian Sea. Now the Batumi Old Town was recently restored and can enchant you easily.

TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

7 THE BOULEVARD

The construction of Batumi Boulevard was started in 1881 by a Prussian gardener and landscape architect and later completed by a French architect. Today the boulevard is one of the world’s longest, stretching for eight kilometres long and is distinguished by its broad walking and bicycle paths, magnolia and palm trees, fountains, café-lounges and children’s attractions.

8 MIX THE MOUNTAINS AND SEA

The combination of seaside and mountains makes Batumi an ideal year-round tourist destination. The mountain resorts have excellent conditions all four seasons and are also ideal for romantic weekend getaways. In addition, the protected areas in Adjara and the region’s other natural treasures offer unforgettable experiences for ecotourism.

9 GEORGIAN CULTURE

Georgia is one of the oldest Christian countries in the world, leading to a significant influence on Georgian culture.

Gonio, one of the oldest settlements in Georgia, is located in Adjara. The region is famous for its stone-arch bridges, religious monuments and monasteries. Gelati and Bagrati, recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites, are located just a few hours’ drive from Batumi. Tbilisi, Mtskheta and other parts of Georgia are also very rich in unique and diverse cultural monuments.

10 A GEORGIAN FEAST

The backbone of Georgian social culture, the Supra is a traditional feast. The “Tamada” or toastmaster leads the Supra, and is considered to be the most honourable member of a traditional Georgian Supra, and entertain guests with poems, songs and interesting stories. New courses of food are always served to the guests first, and toasts are made each time, with guests expected to empty their glass with each toast.
