From the heart of Milan to the enigmatic charm of Indonesia, we introduce you to four exceptional destinations that extend an inviting hand to the perceptive traveler.
Reigning in the epicentre of Milan’s fashion district, Portrait Milano debuts as an urban oasis where hospitality meets style and history. Owned by the Ferragamo family, the hotel breathes new life into Milan’s former archepiscopal seminary. All 73 rooms and suites, designed by architect Michele Bönan, evoke a mid-century charm, featuring luxury furnishings and a Carrara marble bathroom that reflect Italian craftsmanship. Guests and gastronomes wishing to indulge in delectable offerings can head to two dining venues on the premises, including the first Beefbar in Italy
Welcoming peace seekers and holidaymakers since the first of August 2023, Shinta Mani Mustang – A Bensley Collection Nepal is an all-inclusive luxury retreat at the foot of Upper Mustang, once the Forbidden Kingdom of Nepal. Designed by highly-acclaimed architect Bill Bensley, the highland sanctuary boasts 29 suites clad in harmony between the modern and the traditional, featuring an open-plan concept, an opulent bathroom, and full-height windows overlooking the Nilgiri Mountain. The Nilgiri Restaurant serves modern Nepalese cuisine and Western dishes, while the hotel’s wellness centre offers invigorating treatments.
“This is perhaps one of the most exciting projects we have ever had. I have never seen such wildly dramatic landscapes as the mountains and valleys of Mustang. I am thrilled that Shinta Mani can be the first to introduce this mystical land to international adventurers.”
BILL BENSLEY, Architect
French house Christian Louboutin has ventured into hospitality with Vermelho Melides Hotel. Incepted in partnership with Marugal Hotel Management, the opulent sanctuary is informed by an eclectic aesthetic and adorned with artisan creations by the designer’s friends. The hotel’s name – Vermelho, meaning “red” in Portuguese – pays tribute to the maison’s iconic colour. Thirteen individually-designed rooms invite guests to enjoy Melides’ gentle pace of life in stylish opulence. Portuguese culinary tradition is celebrated at Xtian where Chef David Abreu infuses the finest dishes with new energy.
Amidst the never-ending search for a sacred sanctuary, The Sanubari Sumba Island sits on a verdant reserve where time stands still. Spanning 100 hectares, the resort invites explorers and travellers to take a journey of self-discovery while experiencing local ancient culture. Accommodations range from cosy studios to two-bedroom pool villas, all featuring minimalist designs, direct beach access and and idyllic panoramas of the sea. For dining, the beachfront Sanubari Restaurant pays tribute to the splendour of the land and the sea with a commitment to sustainability.
