There’s ‘no one size fits all’ rule for celebrating the holidays, because every culture and every individual has their own unique traditions and ways to embrace the festivities. Our 18-page Festive Season special is filled with the most unique and exhilarating ways to spend Christmas, New Year and beyond. In Winter Wanderlust, travel writer Devinder Bains explores heli-skiing in Greenland, Christmas markets in Salzburg, and dog-sledding with Santa, while I take you on a round-the-world adventure to round-up the most wonderful hotels, destinations and experiences from which to create the most magical memories.
Opening just in time for the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix, the W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island takes pole position as the capital’s leading design hotel, delivering a sleek new concept that draws heavily on Arabian culture. With every space paying homage in some way to the Emirate, from pearl diving and architecture to kufic calligraphy and a desert in full bloom, the hotel is visually arresting both inside and out.
We also speak to world-renowned Italian chef Giorgio Locatelli about sustainability in the restaurant industry, and bring you 10 of the most beautiful watches to wear to count down to 2020.
Until next month, may your travels be rich, wide and wonderful. And remember, if in doubt... Book the ticket.
