With the end of the summer, it’s time to start your winter holiday planning, and we sure have lots of options for you to choose from! The Southern Hemisphere is blessed with warmer weather during the year end, which signals the perfect time to explore Australia’s many gems, including swimming with the local marine life off Ningaloo Reef. If in Tasmania, remember to savour seasonal specialties and fresh local produce as you drink in the pristine landscapes and meet some adorable indigenous critters. As the seasons turn, Korea and Japan offer a plethora of great eats, riveting culture, soul-stirring sights, and retail therapy galore.

Everyone knows that leisure travel is good for stress relief, but did you know it’s good for your physical health as well? Studies have shown that in addition to lowering stress levels and increasing work productivity, leisure travel also reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and subsequent dementia.

A nine-year study of 12,000 men found t​hat those who took at least one vacation per year were 30-percent less likely to die from heart disease, and another 20-year study of women aged 45-65 showed that those who vacationed at least twice a year had significantly lower instances of heart attack or coronary death compared to those who only vacationed once every six years or less.

With such brain-boosti​ng and heart healthy benefits, travel also means slower aging and increased life satisfaction!

So the next time you’re cruising down a river in Myanmar, hiking the peaks of Indonesia, or snorkelling with the fishes in the Philippines, remember all the cognitive and cardiovascular health benefits you are treating yourself to as well.

You definitely deserve it.

AMPERING OUR SENSES NO LONGER stops at touch, taste and scent. Good hoteliers know that visual appeal plays a large part in the perception of luxury (and our derivation of pleasure) and seek to bring ocular gratification to all who pass through their doors. Good design doesn’t just stop at choosing a pleasing palette or hanging a few decorative pieces on the wall – it permeates the atmosphere, seeps into the ethos, and inspires you to live a life more beautiful and adventurous than before. Whether through a unique floor plan, gorgeous furnishings, or bespoke art, here are five hotels that play the design game exceptionally well.

PARIS PICNIC

‘Le pique-nique’ is one of the things I love most about the city; during the warmer months, it’s the only way to eat. Having always lived in tiny flats far too small to invite lots of people round, I was forever ringing my friends and saying ‘meet me here, and bring some food.’ Parisians don’t do the whole blanket-and-hamper thing. For them it’s not about the accessories, but the ingredients: usually a baguette, cheese, cured meats, fruit and a bottle of wine, all bought from markets or local independent shops.

Paris Picnic does that bit for you, and delivers the picnic wherever you want to eat. My favourite spot is the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, but beside the Canal Saint-Martin is a classic choice.

WHAT IS ITS AESTHETIC APPEAL? The most outstanding design element at Hotel Claris is the sheer size of its art collection, whether paintings, sculptures, or furniture. In addition to being distributed throughout the common areas and rooms, the hotel’s exceptional assemblage of art can also be viewed at its first-floor museum, which houses rare Egyptian artefacts,19th-century Turkish kilims, Roman mosaics and sculptures from the second and third centuries, sketches by Catalan painter Josep Guinovart, original etchings commissioned by Napoleon in 1812, and fifth- to eighth-century Burmese and Indian sculptures, amongst many others. Its exterior is equally a sight to behold, the former nineteenth-century neo-classical Verduna Palace reworked and extended upward using glass and steel to house a rooftop pool and provide a constant stream of natural light.

BEYOND ITS BEAUTIFUL WALLS? Located in Barcelona’s central Eixample neighbourhood, just steps away from the bustling Passeig de Gràcia, Hotel Claris is a great base from which to explore the city’s world-famous architecture and exciting gastronomy. Visit the top tourist attraction in town, La Sagrada Família, educate yourself on the eponymous painter’s early years at the Picasso Museum, or drink in the plethora of sights and sounds along colourful Las Ramblas.

MINI GUIDE

Enter this rough-hewn 1843 sandstone pub to meet some locals and grab an earful of the swing, folk, old-time jazz and Celtic bands (Fri–Sun).

Downstairs is a dungeon where, in days gone by, drinkers would sleep off a heavy night before being shanghaied to the high seas via a tunnel leading straight to the harbour (heroofwaterloo. com.au; 81 Lower Fort St; 10am–11pm).

THE SYDNEY CONSERVATORIUM OF MUSIC

The castellated ‘Con’ was designed in 1817 by convict architect Francis Greenway. It was later converted into a music conservatorium, and has since created five world-class venues that showcase the talents of its students and their teachers. Choral, jazz, operatic and chamber concerts happen from March–November, along with free Weds lunchtime recitals (music.usyd.edu.au; Conservatorium Rd).

Fish and chips in the beer garden at the Watsons Bay Hotel

WATSONS BAY HOTEL

One of the great pleasures in life is languishing in the rowdy beer garden of the Watsons Bay Hotel, mere metres from the ferry wharf, with a jug of sangria after a day at the beach. Stay to watch the sun go down over the city and grab some seafood if you’re hungry – fish and chips or a seafood platter with crab, octopus and oysters (watsons bayhotel.com.au; 1 Military Rd, Watsons Bay; 10am–11pm; platter US$67).

l In the mid-’90s, a business began renting loungers on Tamarama Beach, offering waiter service. It didn’t last long.

Even at what was Sydney’s most glamorous beach, nobody was interested in that kind of malarkey. l For Australians, going to the beach is all about rolling out a towel on the sand with a minimum of fuss. Ice-cream vendors are acceptable; martini luggers are not. l In summer, one of the more unusual sights is the little ice cream boat pulling up to Lady Bay (and other harbour beaches) and a polite queue of nude gentlemen forming to purchase their icy pops. l Surf lifesavers have a hallowed place in the culture and you’d do well to heed their instructions, not least of all because they will be in your best interest.

Singapore Night Festival

Gion Matsuri in Kyoto July is peak summer for the northern hemisphere and while many may choose to stay indoors to get away from the heat, the Japanese are one to head outdoors for a Natsumatsuri.

Natsumatsuri (夏祭り), or summer festivals, are like street carnivals, where locals get together to enjoy the warm weather with food and games.

The Gion Matsuri is no different and is considered one of the most famous festivals in Japan.

Held in Gion, the geisha district of Kyoto, the ancient festival originated as part of a purification ritual to appease the gods that caused natural disasters and plagues. By far the highlight of the festival is the Yamaboko Junkō parade. The Yamaboko are giant wooden 30

Up close and personal with Australian nature // COVER //

Steve Irwin once said that where Australians live, a hug comes from the heart.

Similar to its people, many Australian animals await the warm interactions with humans. Touching a koala in a zoo may be one thing but there’s no truer experience than interacting with an animal in the wild and revitalising the bond between creature and man. Here are our recommendations for must-try animal bonding experiences and nature’s most astonishing eye-candies.

5 not to be missed animal interaction experiences Meet Australia’s happiest animal, the Quokka (Western Australia)

Cross a grey teddy bear and a tiny kangaroo and you will have God’s happiest creation in nature. This tiny little critter, which is rarely seen anywhere else except on the beach grounds of Rottnest Island, is terribly social and will quickly nibble away at vegetation such as grass or leaves when offered. Visitors should keep in mind not to feed or touch the little creature when taking pictures of it.

How to get your quokka selfie: Rottnest Island is a 90-minute ferry ride from Perth City.

Watch kangaroos lounge on the sand (NSW)

Long regarded as the symbol of Australia, the kangaroo needs no introduction. The eastern grey kangaroos located at Pebbly Beach on the New South Wales South Coast often hang out pretty near holidaymakers. If they get close enough for a gentle pat, don’t be afraid to pose for photographs with this lovely creature.

How to spot them in the wild: Drive from Sydney towards the South Coast and look for Pebbly Beach in the Murramarang National Park.

Ride a camel at Cable Beach (Western Australia)

Camels may not be readily synonymous with Australia but the country is said to house the World’s largest herd of camels, reaching figures of over 750,000 roaming the wild. The imposing creature can often be seen snaking up the fine sand of Cable Beach in the town of Broome. There is no easier way to fall into a state of relaxation than with a camel ride into the vast sunset.

Getting to Broome: Embark on an 8-day selfdrive adventure along Western Australia’s Coral Coast from Perth.

Snorkel with sea turtles (Queensland)

Whether it’s Crush the sea turtle from “Finding Nemo” or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles yelling “cowabunga”, turtles will always have a special place in our hearts.

A good place to view these is the Great Barrier Reef, where scuba divers or snorkelers can find them cruising by. Here’s the perfect chance for you to interact with them after a free snorkelling lesson. As you gaze through your snorkel mask, there’s a good chance you’ll encounter sea turtles flitting through the aquamarine waters — just follow one of the many snorkelling trails on your own, or take a guided snorkel safari.

Try something new: Spend some time exploring Tropical North Queensland — there are plenty of

04

things to enjoy besides the Great Barrier Reef.

Embark on the Great Tropical Drive from Cairns where 900,000 hectares of the world’s oldest tropical rainforest awaits. Experience Australia’s highest diversity of plants and animals, including many found nowhere else on earth. Strike a rich vein of history in the region’s deserted goldfields and frontier towns like Charters Towers, Chillagoe and Cooktown.

Get up close with a devil (Tasmania)

While some may mock the diminutive and unimposing size of the Tasmanian Devil, visitors are often taken aback when the shrill and aggressive nature of this marsupial is let loose. One of the best ways to see them is at Saffire Freycinet, one of the best boutique hotels in the world. Enclosed within the one hectare free-range enclosure, a meeting with the devil is sure to be eye-opening.

Getting to Freycinet: Enjoy the 3-day round trip around Hobart, via The Great Eastern Drive exploring Friendly Beaches, spectacular Wineglass Bay and the Hazard Mountain Range.

Swim with dolphins (South Australia)

One of Mother Nature’s most intelligent animals, the bottlenose dolphin is playful, wild and curious.

For an authentic experience in nature with these

creatures, nothing beats travelling on a catamaran off the white sand beaches of Glenelg Beach to the middle of the St. Vincent’s Gulf where dolphins roam wild and free. For a memorable experience, join the wild dolphin swim where you hold on to ropes as a catamaran pulls you gently through the water.

Reawaken your love for nature at these astonishing locations Australian Alps

If a chilly alpine route filled with steep valleys, thick forests and clear mountain springs is what you seek, look no further than the hilly ranges of the Australian Alps. The alpine environment provides a habitat for hundreds of species of plant and animal life found

nowhere else on the continent. You can often spot kangaroos and wallabies chewing at the grass by the side of the road. In spring and summer, more than 1,100 species of plants flower and the alpine meadows and snow gum forests put on a dazzling display. It’s a great time for a bushwalk or a horse trek.

Where to find the Australian Alps: This mountainous area stretches from Canberra through the Brindabella Range to the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales and along the Great Divide through eastern Victoria.

Ningaloo Reef 1 Catch the placid whale shark when they visit Ningaloo Reef from April to June 2 Australia’s alps has the perfect environment for more than 1,100 species of plants to thrive in 3 Hop onto camels for a relaxing ride into the sunset at Cable Beach 6 Smile! Quokkas are always picture ready with their happy faces 7 They are called Tasmanian Devils for a reason; behind their sweet exteriors are shrill and aggressive personalities​

One of the world’s largest ocean paradises, the Ningaloo Marine Park stretches for 260 kilometres from near the relaxed fishing town of Exmouth, all the way to Amherst Point near blissful Coral Bay. The coral reef, with its dazzling fish, is a spectacle in itself but nothing can prepare you for a swim with a whale shark in the clear turquoise water. These placid creatures visit the reef each year between April and June.

You can also swim with giant manta rays and dolphins. In late January and February, you can see rare baby turtles hatching from their eggs.

Getting there: It’s a 2-day drive from Perth, but you will be able to see the incredible landscape of the Pinnacles in Namadgi National Park. Imagine red earth and strange rock formations sticking straight up out of the ground.

Honorary Ambassador of Korean Tourism actor Song Joong Ki from the famous Korean Drama series “Descendants of the Sun” invites you to travel to Korea Owing to the worldwide popularity of the Korean drama, filming locations from the series’ most memorable scenes will be featured in the up and coming MATTA Fair, from 2 to 4 September, by the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO).

Among the locations are the Hanbo Coal Mine, the Samtan Art Mine and the Camp Greaves DMZ Experience Centre. Fans will now be able to re-enact scenes in the series thanks to the KTO and Taebaek City’s efforts of rebuilding the film set at the Hanbo Coal Mine, which were removed following the conclusion of the filming.

The Samtan Art Mine, which was previously an abandoned mine, has now been transformed into a cultural and art complex for public visitation. One of the rooms within the mine was previously used by the series’ main actor, Song Joong Ki, during his stay.

As for Camp Greaves, fans will have the opportunity to learn more about real army programmes and to try out real army uniforms from the Korean military for photo taking.

Exclusive merchandise such as a ‘Descendants of the Sun’ photo story album will be given to customers who purchase the ‘Descendants of the Sun’ Gangwon Package at booth numbers 1161 to 1184 in PWTC KL during the September MATTA Fair.

Scenic marathons to run your heart out Two marathon events remain for this year in Korea which are The Chuncheon Chosunilbo International Marathon (23 October) and Jeju Mandarin International Marathon (13 November).

3 Music, food, events and more await at this cultural fest, the 2016 Busan One Asia Festival

Those looking to enjoy some scenic eye-candy while running can join the Chuncheon Chosunilbo International Marathon, which is commonly referred to as the “Autumn Legend” due to the beauty of its running course.

Fancy a delicious treat after running? Enjoy the succulent mandarin tree oranges of Jeju Island after completing the Jeju Mandarin International Marathon held in November.

Don’t worry if you need more time to train for a marathon. The spring of 2017 brings the Gyeongju Cherry Blossom Marathon which will take place next year on 1 April.

Little Island of Horror

Hospital horrors and hawker centre massacres to accompany Universal Studio Singapore’s 6th Halloween Horror Nights Back for its sixth running, the Halloween Horror Nights held at Universal Studios Singapore this year promises to be its largest and most anticipated scarefest.

Beginning 30 September, the sixth edition of the production will feature five terrifying haunted houses, two horrifying scare zones and two spectacular live shows all ruled by the malevolent Lady Death.

Mr Jason Horkin, Senior Vice President of Attractions at Resorts World Sentosa Singapore is confident that the sixth edition of its award-winning production at Universal Studios Singapore will unleash the darkest nightmares that will resonate with local and international visitors alike.

“Horror with a distinctive Singapore flavour has been a big hit with fans in previous editions. Fans can expect a bigger, better and scarier edition this year, with a record number of haunted houses and our first-ever theatrical procession,” said Horkin.

Visitors should brace themselves for vengeful ghosts that haunt the infamous Old Changi Hospital and zombies who roam free at the Hawker Centre Massacre where radioactive food poisoning has turned victims into savage, flesh-eating creatures.

Step inside Hu Li’s Inn if you dare but beware the powers of deadly seduction that might keep you there forever.

For a skin crawling experience, few, if any, would be able to survive the forbidden grounds of the Suicide Forest, which are filled with desperate cries and a sinister presence that lures victims to their ultimate deaths.

//

Horror with a distinctive Singapore flavour has been a big hit with fans in previous editions. Fans can expect a bigger, better and scarier edition this year, with a record number of haunted houses and our firstever theatrical procession. //

Back again by popular demand this year is Jack’s Recurring Nightmare Circus, which features a live casting call of world-class aerialists, acrobats, contortionists and other freaky friends.

Finally, end your horror journey with the actionpacked March of the Death live show led by the ominous Lady Death.

Visitors can experience the thrills and scares from 7.30pm on 16 select nights across five weekends starting 30 September. Standard tickets on event nights cost S$65 and S$69.

The full line-up of haunted houses and details of the scare zones will be unveiled at www.halloweenhorrornights.com.sg.

Welcome to Western Australia! // TRAVEL //

WA was listed as one of the best value destinations for 2016 by Lonely Planet!

Perth is the capital of Western Australia. It is a cosmopolitan city surrounded by the natural beauty of the Swan River and Kings Park.

Perth’s superb position on the banks of the Swan River and nearby hectares of natural bushland in Kings Park make for a city centred on the great outdoors. But there’s more to the west coast capital than great sunshine and a sparkling river.

A new cosmopolitan perspective and economic growth has given Perth a cultural confidence, which can be found in the city skyline and on other aspects of urban life. This modern city is often described as the most isolated city of its size in the Western World.

Boasting more hours of sunshine than any other capital city in Australia, the pleasant weather and diverse mix of urban, coastal and culinary experiences make Perth an ideal holiday destination for both domestic and international visitors.

The city is lined with pedestrian malls jam-packed with a wide variety of shops that range from inventive boutiques to national and global flagship stores where you can stock up on stylish fashion or even buy Aboriginal art.

Perth is in the midst of an exciting period of expansion and new developments, with bold new design projects and redevelopments such as Perth Arena, Barrack St Jetty and Elizabeth Quay dramatically changing the face of Perth.

Elizabeth Quay features ultra trendy new cafés, bars and restaurants for those looking to get the most out of their dining experience. There’s also a host of activities on offer at the Quay, including cruises.

There are many attractions to visit throughout Perth, including The Bell Tower, The Perth Mint, Perth Zoo, Scitech, Perth Cultural Centre and Kings Park, where you’ll find 400 hectares of stunning natural bushland and grand lookouts — a popular place for taking photos.
