Among the Canary Islands, Lanzarote is perhaps the one that has best preserved its original identity. While it has become an internationally renowned destination, the island has successfully avoided the large-scale overdevelopment seen elsewhere, maintaining a distinctive character shaped by volcanic landscapes, black lava fields, dramatic coastlines, and an almost otherworldly beauty

There is a side of Menorca that escapes the busiest travel routes—defined by soft light, elegant silence, and landscapes that feel suspended in time. It is here, overlooking the golden sands of Santo Tomás, that Villa Le Blanc Gran Meliá takes shape: a retreat where luxury is not about display, but about harmony.

There are places you don’t expect. Turquoise waters, powder-soft pale sand, almost Caribbean shades… yet we are in Marsa Matrouh, on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt.

Here, a refined and still under-the-radar address is attracting curious, design-minded travelers: Sakhra.

There are places that define a way of travelling. Not only for the beauty that surrounds them, but for how they interpret the very concept of hospitality. The Royal Palm Beachcomber, on the north-west coast of Mauritius, belongs to this category: one of the island’s most sophisticated experiences, designed for those who seek calm, elegance and a service that anticipates every wish.
