Destinations of the World News - May 2025

この号では

Papers straws please; need to change my bed clothes; and we are trains over planes: sustainable travel is on the up as discerning travellers seek destinations and experiences that blend green initiatives with golden luxury before they click ‘book’ on their next adventure. And let’s face it, we all feel better when we know our presences have left a positive impact on Mother Nature and the local economy.
In keeping with the theme of going green, this issue is brimming with escapes that spotlight the best in eco-practices without having to compromise on any luxurious amenities that we so dearly love. Elsewhere, Sarah Freeman checks out the Emerald City of Seattle where she encounters laidback luxury at every turn. In Rome, Robert La Bua escapes the thronging streets to discover some of the Eternal City’s lesser-visited, yet equally mesmerising attractions. Taking the foot off the accelerator and slipping into the slow lane, Joe Mortimer goes into cruise control with a selection of journeys that emphasise relaxation over pulse-pounding exploration.
As for me, I mix style with delectable sweets at the Giorgio Armani-designed, Armani Hotel Milano before enjoying a rejuvenating experience in the clouds at the sky-scraping Ciel Spa on SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences’ 69th floor.
Wherever your travels may bring you this month, think consciously about your surroundings and embrace the new era of sustainable tourism in which we find ourselves. The great, green adventure awaits!
