Banyan Tree Connections Retreat

Banyan Tree Bintan welcomes the discerning traveller to rediscover the art of meaningful connection at its new retreat, a wellbeing experience designed to deepen relationships by fostering shared moments of mindfulness. Set within a lush rainforest against Bintan’s pristine coastline, the three-night journey for two will begin with a personalised wellbeing consultation, before taking you through a curated selection of wellness and bonding activities.

Guerlain’s new Longevity Concentrate

Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today, especially with a good skincare routine. Make up time with Guerlain’s Orchidée Impériale Longevity Concentrate, an age-defying serum that revives the skin from within. The culmination of two decades of research, Guerlain continues to capture the exceptional power of the Vanda coerulea, an orchid capable of living for over a hundred years—a feat our skin can strive to achieve.

Aman at Sea unveils Caribbean itineraries

Reservations are now open for the first chapter of Amangati’s debut Caribbean season. From 21 November 2027 to 2 January 2028, a collection of five- to eight-night journeys will trace the storied harbours and pristine archipelagos of the Antilles, from the volcanic stillness of Saba to the uninhabited Tobago Cays in the Grenadines. The itineraries are shaped by the same philosophy that defines Amangati’s Mediterranean voyages—late departures, overnight calls and a preference for anchorages over berths—and centred around Ashore, a programme of cultural, culinary and naturalist-led experiences.

The art of balance

For Maria Grazia Chiuri’s debut collection for Fendi, the House’s signature Colibrì has been taken up a notch as the Very Colibrì. Stripped back to its essential lines, the new design strikes a balance between sensuality and agility, transforming everyday movement into a poetic expression of grace.
