Editor’s Letter

The sun is shining brighter, and summer shows signs that it is closer than we would like it to be. We love our Middle Eastern lifestyle and loads of sunny days, but the scorching heat in the months ahead is not so pleasant, and many people tend to go away on holidays during this period. We know that with Covid-19 still very present in our lives, travelling might be postponed (again!) or at least very well planned. To help you with this task, our issue this month is dedicated to this subject. Our fashion pages bring different packing styles inspired by your destination (pg10), while our cover story showcases the most exclusive stays around the globe. You can pick one as your next landing spot or embark on a visual trip to these beautiful retreats with us (pg 66). We also care about your beauty routine on the go, and we bring some tips on how to take care of your complexion while exploring the world (pg58).

Are you a jewellery enthusiast? If so, delve into our astonishing spread to find the latest jewels and watches available in the market (pg24). In the beauty section, you find a new range of fashionable makeup (pg52), a review done by our team on a natural skin and haircare brand (pg56), and one of our contributors had her locks transformed at this kingdom of beauty (pg62).

We were lucky enough to feast at two dining locations before Covid-19 restrictions were placed; you can book your table to embrace this experience as soon as they re-open (pg72). To complete our journey, we drove the new BMW520i Sedan, and we can tell that your motoring itch will tickle (pg78). We saved a seat for you – join us!
