A Vietnamese village by the sea
Designed as a contemporary Vietnamese coastal village, Park Hyatt Phu Quoc is expected to open this December 2026, just in time to welcome guests for the festive season. Great for guests who value community as much as privacy, the resort features 114 guest rooms and suites, 54 pool villas and an eight-bedroom private residence, amidst a collection of courtyards and gardens. The surrounding nature and cultural voices further enrich the guest experience, taking you to join rice farmers in the paddies, the trails of Phu Quoc National Park or traditional fish sauce houses.

Continuing its traditional tribute to Mexico’s Day of the Dead, Chopard has unveiled yet another unique interpretation of the very accomplished L.U.C Full Strike. Arriving just ahead of the holiday (which is observed on 1 and 2 November 2026), this one-of-a-kind repeater comes encased in 42.5mm ethical rose gold, with a calavera dial featuring rye straw and eggshell marquetry, and a hand-wound LUC Calibre 08.01-L on the inside.
The Leica Q3 43 Formula 1 Edition

The festive season has yet to arrive, but it appears that Dior Maison is already in a celebratory mood. Paying tribute to 30 Montaigne, the historic Paris headquarters of the House of Dior, the Maison brings its iconic ironwork and balconies to the table with the new Balustrade collection. Crafted with a graphic yet understated balance, the luxury home line features white Limoges porcelain tableware with delicate grey arabesques and scroll motifs, accompanied by soft textiles such as white cashmere blankets.
