Philippine Tatler Traveller takes you through some dreamy adventures as it features luxurious destinations from the subzero climate in Antarctica, the treasure plains of Bordeaux, to the world’s most glamorous sustainable luxury resorts from Botswana to Chile. The captivating and youthful Katrina Razon takes centre stage at this month’s cover shoot in the lush Pangalusian Island Resort in El Nido, Palawan. Adding to the lavish travel journal are trails to Florence and Milan, an exotic experience in Madagascar, and the rising dining scene of Solaire Resort and Casino.

While international air travel and ocean cruises have currently taken a back seat, short-haul jaunts are now possible, in perfect time for the holiday season.

Meanwhile, for all of us who remain grounded at home, a virtual vacation is always uplifting. Where have you travelled lately? We invite you to journey with us through this issue of Tatler Traveller Philippines. Allow the captivating stories and stunning images on our pages to take you on a dream voyage!

With a glass of your favourite vintage or a single origin Malongo coffee in hand, read on about our own tropical gems—El Nido and Siargao —as they slowly reopen; discover some of the world’s most amazing Destinations; travel by taste and savour world flavours through our mouth-watering Appetite features; and re-live cherished travel memories along with interesting personalities. 

Finally, until the day when pre-pandemic travel makes a glorious comeback, be transported to old world glamour through the much anticipated film adaptation of "Death on the Nile". The remake of Agatha Christie’s epic travel whodunit—boasting an all-star cast of impeccably well-dressed travellers led by Kenneth Branagh, Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer—is coming soon to theatres worldwide.

Our adventure began the moment we landed at the impressive Istanbul New Airport, home to Turkish Airlines and gateway between Europe and Asia. Over four marvellous days we criss-crossed the magical city, running from one spectacular sight to the next, as we photographed Mikaela Martinez for our cover story, A Tale of Two Continents.

Bathed in a beautiful light and dressed in a spectrum of colour, Istanbul is a city that keeps on giving, overflowing with amazing places to discover. This confluence—of history, of faiths, of cultures—is home to the sublime Hagia Sophia, the magnificent Blue Mosque, the splendid Topkapi Palace, the spectacular Basilica Cistern, and the dazzling Grand Bazaar. Truly, the list never ends

Philippine Tatler Traveller goes to Hanoi for this issue's cover story as Philippine Airlines
launches its latest routes, opening pathways to more of Asia's cultural gems. With PAL's
new direct flight, the scenic Vietnamese capital is now only three hours away, making it
an easy option for a long weekend-getaway. What makes Hanoi so alluring is that
a visit to this city is like being transported to another world, suspended in time between
a French colonial past and a bustling Asian present.

We were billeted at the Sofitel Legend Metropole—considered the city's most
prestigious address—in the French Quarter, within walking distance to many must-see
sights. Strolling along tree-lined streets and tranquil Hoan Kiem lake, you are
immediately impressed by the seamless dichotomy between colonial-style buildings and
Oriental temples. Behind the doors of many of these finely-preserved heritage buildings
lie the most charming cafés serving up traditional pho, bahn mi, and the ubiquitous
Vietnamese drip-coffee.

Let our pages take you on to other fascinating destinations where wonderful surprises
await beyond closed doors. From the magic realism of San Miguel de Allende's charming
streets and the baroque masterpieces enshrined within Malta's quiet chuches, to the powerful history of the African American people at Washinton DC's Smithsonian Institution and the flood of flavours along the road from Fez to Marrakech, explore new worlds.

Twenty five years ago, Amanpulo—the first ultra luxury island resort to open in the country—welcomed its first guests. We couldn't think of a better cover story destination for this issue on inspiring journeys than the pristine paradise on Pamalican Island in Palawan as it celebrates this milestone. When you go for a swim in Amanpulo's spectacular waters, it's not uncommon for endemic species like giant hawksbill sea turtles to swim serenely alongside you, undisturbed and completely at ease in their natural habitat.

Stephanie Zubiri-Crespi, herself an advocate for environmental preservation, was a perfect fit for cover girl—photographed for our pages against Amanpulo's world-renowned powder white beaches. Find out about Amanpulo 25 years later: how it remains the benchmark for luxury island resorts, and how it gives back to the community.

Speaking of inspiring journeys, Philippine Tatler Traveller embarked on its very first river cruise with the award winning American company, AmaWaterways. We enjoyed excellent, personalised service and wonderful dining on-board the AmaSonata as we sailed down the legendary Danube. Along the way, it was wonderful to explore impressive sites like the scenic Wachau Valley, magnificent Melk Abbey, and the Old Town of Regensberg; to pair fine Austrian Rieslings and apricots; and even to try the most delicious sausages from Germany's oldest sausage makers (600 years old) by the river banks. Cruise with us and fall in love with Old World Europe all over again

Philippine Tatler Traveller trains its lenses on London for this year's annual Art of Luxury Travel issue.  On our cover are bright young sisters Kerry and Kylie Tinga, who both recently completed uni in the British capital.

For this issue, we also travelled across the Indian Ocean to the spectacular W Maldives. On the last day of an all-too-brief visit, I had the most blissful massage at their Away Spa followed by sunset champagne cocktails at W Maldives' Private Island, Gaathafushi. We had the little island, with its powdery sand, all to ourselves that afternoon—apart from a school of baby mantas that swam right by us.

Let's travel vicariously with Katrina Razon, Tina Cuevas, Ana de Ocampo, the Kienle family, and more—as they open windows into their own recent journeys.

Most of us have a travel bucket list—a list of destinations that we dream of seeing at least once in our lifetime. Putting this issue together was amazing as, quite by serendipity, we gathered wonderful stories from contributors who each shared a bucket-list travel experience that many of us aspire to.

On these pages, you will find an assemblage of their incredible journeys: Kaye Tinga hies off to one of today's hottest destinations—intoxicating Havana with its heady mix of old world grandeur and Caribbean charm; Tessa Prieto-Valdes, a self-confessed safari addict, and her husband Dennis, fulfill their dream of finally bringing their children on their first family safari to South Africa; Tina Jacinto takes a Nile cruise and is bedazzled by the treasures of the pharaohs in Cairo's Egyptian Museum; Ana de Ocampo and her food-obsessed family head over to Provence on a tour of some of the region's top tables. And the list goes on... Also, in our cover story, learn about Philadelphia through the eyes of the American fashion designer Tory Burch, and see how this illustrious city has been a creative influence in her life.

Japan's ethereal springtime wonder is in the spotlight in the latest issue of Philippine Tatler Traveller! Rissa Mananquil Trillo graces our cover and shares some stories about her travel experiences in Tokyo, including her favourite sights and eats. Watch out for other inspiring stories of wanderlust courtesy of Curtis Chin, Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez, and Cristalle Belo Pitt, among others.

In the latest issue of Philippine Tatler Traveller, we take you on a journey down to the southern region of the country, Davao—cradle of the Philippines' precious pearls—together with the lovely Tantoco sisters Kat and Bea. 

While in Davao, it is a must to pick up beautiful fabrics from the T'boli and Mandaya Weaving Centres, as well as from the local Aldavinco market, where one may find the most charming and inexpensive batik accessories.

Whether a weekend down south is what you have in mind, or a journey to urban capitals like Vienna, Stockholm, and Barcelona, or a trip to world heritage sites like Pompeii and Mt Kilimanjaro, you'll find some interesting insights in this issue.

In this issue, we take you back to some of our recent sentimental journeys that took us to the most amazing destinations far and wide. From the magnificent Petra to the fascinating Holy Land of Israel, and then on to colourful Cartagena, Colombia, which is the world's enchanting walled city where one may find poetry in the colours, sounds, and textures of every street corner.

Philippine Tatler Traveller takes you on a journey of the senses... from the fashion capital of Milan and the seaside haven of Cinque Terre to the gastronomic delights and languid pleasures of Barcelona from the
magical world of Newport’s lavish mansions to the panoply of sights and sounds in colourful Hua Hin; from the the cosmopolitan streets and fragrant flower gardens of London to the enchanting Dalmatian coast of Croatia; from the pristine views of the Philippines’ remote corners to the austerely beautiful Iceland.
