Travel with Style

These days travelling has transformed from a luxury limited to a few into a necessity for basically everyone, and we're not complaining. We find travelling, especially luxury travel, beneficial, enriching the soul and healing the mind, and we love the joy of escaping to an exotic faraway island or the most happening metropolis.

In this issue, we take a look at picture-perfect destinations in Bali and great city getaways in Jakarta, Singapore and Hong Kong, in addition to a quick peek at the Maldives, Seychelles and Bora Bora. Whether you go by air or cruise the vast sea also makes a big difference as to how you enjoy your trip, that's why we introduce you to the sophisticated services of Turkish Airlines and the Cunard Cruise Line. For the cherry on top of the sweet leisurely life, we also have some tips on where to shop in the region.

On the fashion and beauty front, we have the latest designer fragrances, the classiest watches and the most brilliant diamond-studded jewellery, not to mention shoes and bags from world-renowned brands that you are sure to want. The main show is our exclusive fashion shoot with Dior at the swanky Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort.

As always, we sit down to talk to inspirational people, this time a group of general managers. From Yves Mudry at Raffles Jakarta, to Christian Gerart at The Samaya Bali and Sjefke Jansen at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta.

In between, we have the latest happenings and all the finer things in life. Enjoy!
