Introducing the Villa 88 Spring 2023 edition that marks the familial spirit of Ramadan and Eid. The cover, together with Vacheron Constantin, features Mr Nasser Al Nowais, co-founder and Chairman of Rotana Hotel Management Corporation in the UAE, and his daughters Amna, Shamma and Shaikha, who’ve proven their mettle in diverse fields and are laying the groundwork for future generations. The issue spotlights Emirati changemakers Sonia Al Hashimi, Hind Al Mehairbi and AlDana Bani Hashem; agripreneur-inventor AlMaha AlMuhairi; and the riveting people and places of Saudi Arabia in the ‘Explore’ section. It also takes you on a curatorial adventure, surveying the most delightful heirloom jewels by Egyptian designer Azza Fahmy, adorned by Emirati architect-cultural entrepreneur Mashael Al Ali in Dubai, and the finest fashion on the chic streets of Lisbon.

The Villa 88 Winter 2022 issue is dedicated to the unwavering spirit of Emirati women entrepreneurs, like cover star Elham Al Arif, a multi-business owner whose pioneering spirit we celebrate with Buccellati. It also shines the spotlight on entrepreneurs like Aisha Bin Hendi behind jewellery brand TOi; Manar and Sharifah Alhinai, the founders of Khaleeji Art Museum; and Mthayel Al Ali, who gives us an exclusive tour of her stylishly tranquil home. Among the magazine centrepieces is an artwork series featuring the luscious landscapes of the seven Emirates, which have been paired with the latest high jewellery creations by Emirati artist Arwa Alshamsi. This, and so much more awaits you in this gem of an edition that you’re sure to fall in love with.

Villa 88’s Fall 2022 edition places women thought leaders at the centre of the conversation. On the cover are Maral Artinian, founder and creative director of MARLI NEW YORK and Emirati architect-urbanist-historian Dr. Alamira Reem Al Hashimi, whose shared love of cityscapes, creative ingenuity, and, of course, chicness are at the core of this issue. This, and so much more awaits you in this gem of an edition that you’re sure to fall in love with.

Discover the issue now that's sure to accompany you on your travels.

Villa 88’s latest edition honours Muna Easa Al Gurg–the entrepreneur, philanthropist, patron of the arts and, most importantly, woman, as she discovers Henry Jacques’ latest invention Clic-Clac, which offers a lesson in craftmanship and watchmaking expertise. This issue is also a celebration of the new wave of bitcoins and blockchains, and a joyful reminder that it’s essential to hold onto tradition whilst looking towards the future. Discover it now.

Villa 88 commemorates the UAE’s 50th National Day with Emirati creative Alia Al Shamsi in Chaumet jewels on the cover, which says the words 'عام الخمسين' – 'Year of the 50th', as we celebrate 5 decades of the Spirit of the Union and look towards the next 50 years.

This issue is a loving, lyrical essay to the UAE, as it celebrates its spectacular landscapes, diverse community and, most importantly, Emirati women. Awaiting you is this and much more about the incredible people who make up the fabric of this beautiful, forward-thinking country that we’re so proud to call home.
