Condé Nast Traveller • I had the best sleep of my life on a safari in South Africa

Somewhere between the cool morning breeze and the gentle rocking of the jeep, I noticed something unexpected—my co-passengers were nodding off. I was on my first game drive in Kruger National Park, one of South Africa’s largest and most spectacular wildlife destinations. Bursting with a wealth of landscapes, it had everything: birdlife, the Big Five and the scenic Sabie River. Almost every few minutes, a new animal would rear its head. “How could anyone sleep here?” I wondered.The following days...

Tatler • Kristina Romanova’s green vision for Aman’s Hotels And Resorts

One of Aman’s goals is “leaving a better world to future generations,” an ideology that especially resonates with Kristina, a mother of two. “Motherhood has given me a new perspective on the future and the importance of the choices we make today. It’s no longer just about personal preferences—it’s about creating a world that my children and future generations can thrive in,” she says. Reflecting on how she has become more intentional in her approach to sustainability, she adds that she prioritis...

Travel + Leisure • Exploring Hong Kong With A Gen Z-Approved Itinerary

My companions for this trip are true locals, born and raised in Hong Kong. They’re taking me around town to some of their favourite hangout joints — each more eclectic than the other.

Pottering around with a younger crowd gives you a fresh take on this bustling metropolis and its ever-evolving charm. With a bunch of GenZs as my tour guides, I’m discovering a side of the city I never would have.

“We never take these. They’re too slow,” my friends quip, as we get off the ding-ding tram after a 2

Regent Hong Kong • Hotel Review

In the ’80s Regent ruled the roost in Hong Kong’s hospitality scene, graciously hosting royalty and eminent celebrities. In 2001, however, the hotel was acquired by InterContinental, and many would agree that it lost its original charm as it entered a new era, which naturally felt less glamourous as the hotel industry became saturated with lifestyle hotels and the meaning of ‘luxury’ was arguably left behind.

Travel + Leisure • Discovering Muscat: A Hidden Paradise Right Under Your Nose

Looking to embark upon a family adventure devoid off excessive tourist influx, Travel+Leisure India & South Asia’s contributor found herself uncovering the many treasures of Muscat.

While the rest of the country flocked to Vietnam, my family and I sought a more under-the-radar destination. Predictably, our plan to holiday in Muscat raised many eyebrows amongst friends and family. In reality, the city was a hushed secret bursting with an unimaginable wealth of attractions.

Travel + Leisure • A Mother-Daughter Trip To Thailand's Red-light Area

Neon-lit go-go bars, gyrating pole dancers, ping-pong shows and erotic window displays — imagine witnessing all of this with a 50-something, salwar-kameez clad Indian mother. For my mother and I, our trip to Thailand’s red-light area was eye-opening in more ways than one.

It was our first time in Thailand, let alone the red-light area. Mum and I had just grabbed a steal-deal, which included a 10-day group tour from New Delhi to Bangkok and Pattaya. Our itinerary was pre-planned by the travel ag
