Destinations of the World News - February 2024

في هذا العدد

Over the years, Valentine’s Day has evolved from a secret card sent by my mum signed with question mark to flowers from a boyfriend, a romantic dinner with a husband to now, date night with my daughter where we dress up and go eat ice cream together. This month means different things to different people, and for those wanting to eschew the schmaltz, we say why not use this opportunity to fall in love all over again – with someone, with the world, with a single moment.
Hopefully this issue will help ignite that spark, with an exclusive beach dinner under a star-speckled Maldivian sky, a rooftop ‘bubble’ dinner in Paris, watching an eye-watering Namibian, discovering an island all to yourself in French Polynesia and tucking in to high-end fine dining in Zermatt.
We also travel to London to uncover its conscious calling, in which purpose-driven properties, slow fashion, nature-inspired design and zero-waste dining put two ultra-luxe neighbourhoods on the sustainability map. And bring you the biggest round-up of restaurants from around the world – each a love letter to the unbridled joy of gastronomy.
Wherever this month takes you, enjoy the journey, enjoy the company and, most importantly, enjoy making the memories…
Enjoy the issue!
