Tribute to the Finest

Time flies when you're having a good time, and that's what we feel here at Exquisite Media. It's almost time to wrap the year up, so we have festivities to celebrate the holiday season. For the first time ever, we are hosting the Exquisite Awards, where we pay tribute to the best hotels, villas and spas. You can learn more about the categories and nominees in our cover story pages and help determine the deserving winners by casting your votes at awards.exquisite-media.co.id.

We have the finest destinations in Jakarta and Bali spanning across categories that include Best Luxury Hotel, Best Family Hotel, Best Suites and Best New Hotel, among others. The winners will be announced later in October for the Jakarta categories and in November for the Bali categories.

We also have the top travel destinations to give you some ideas for leisure getaways in 2019 in the Top Places pages. From all-time favourites in Asia, like Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and Maldives, to the ones beyond, such as France, Turkey, Kenya and Peru we've got you covered with things to do, places to stay and delicious bites to eat.

Our Destination pages, on the other hand, showcase excellent accommodations in Bali, Surabaya, Sumba and Bangkok – great ideas to plan your next exotic excursions. In between, we offer more great reads for you. From Christmas and New Year happenings, to luxury gift ideas and the latest happenings.

In the meantime, Exquisite Media has its own celebration as I was deeply honoured to be recognised as a winner in the recent Best Inspiring & Creativity Women Awards 2018.

We wish you a fantastic rest of the year, and here's to even greater 2019! See you next year!
