Extravagant Escapades

There are many elements to factor in when you want a luxurious getaway with all the glitz and glam, but the key factor is actually comfort. Comfort is knowing that you'll have a good night's sleep, that your dietary restrictions are taken into account when preparing your daily meals, and that everything you need to relax and leave your worries behind is at your fingertips. That's why we put together a list of divine destinations in Jakarta, Singapore and Hong Kong for opulent city getaways, and in Bali for idyllic island getaways, to guide you with marvellous ideas this summer holiday season.

Discover the latest fashion trends and coolest styles in the Style and Luxury pages. We also show you some gorgeous Paul Ropp creations against the beautiful backdrop of the new The Apurva Kempinski Bali resort in sunny Bali. Next, take a culinary journey through Cantonese cuisine at Hakkasan in Jakarta or Nikkei cuisine at Sugarsand in Bali in our Gourmet pages.

Get inspired by the general managers of the biggest hotels in the region in the Inspiration pages, and hardworking hoteliers who have mastered the art of keeping their properties in the public eye in the In The Spotlight pages.

We have more quality content to read by the pool or in between cocktails, so have a great summer everyone! In the meantime, we wish everyone who celebrates, happy fasting and a blessed Eid Mubarak, and we'll see you next time.
