Just Opened in Mumbai
Fairmont Mumbai is a 446‑room Art Deco‑inspired hotel that has opened next to Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Along with the convenience of the location for anyone flying, the property has five inventive restaurants, a rooftop pool and an entire wellness floor offering cryotherapy, red‑light sessions and more.
There’s also a kids’ club and separate pool to keep families entertained.
Changi Rules the Roost!
Singapore’s Changi Airport has clinched its thirteenth World’s Best Airport title at the Skytrax awards in Madrid. Voters highlighted its calm terminals, varied eateries and spotless washrooms, revealing how a steady investment in traveller comfort has turned stopovers into pleasant breaks. Alongside the accolade, Changi has rolled out fresh flight connections, pocket‑friendly promotions and a handy guide to local adventures.
Transformed in Bali
Meliá Hotels International is reopening its four‑decade‑old Meliá Bali, with the refreshed luxury resort offering 485 suites, seven villas, four pools, eight restaurants, a 12‑room spa and curated activities that lead guests beyond the hotel.

Scandi by the Sand
Vietnam’s Suoi Nuoc Beach has a lively new addition with the opening of Radisson Resort Mui Ne. The 126 rooms and villas – many sporting private pools – follow clean Scandinavian lines, and there’s a green drive in play here, with bottled‑on‑site water and solar power. Available activities include sand‑dune hikes, paddleboarding, unwinding in the spa, and tasting dishes built on Vietnamese produce and coffee. There’s a kids’ club for families too! The beachside hideaway is around three hours by car from Ho Chi Minh City.
Ride the Rim of the Grand Canyon
With multiple departures available from May to October, Escape Adventures steers cyclists from the hot lowlands to the crisp 9,000‑foot North Rim of the Grand Canyon for a five‑day escape. Highlights include winding through tall pines on the Kaibab Plateau, rolling across Rainbow Rim’s five cliff‑edge points, hiking secret canyon paths, and sleeping beneath brilliant stars.
Guides handle cooking, permits and repairs, while support vans carry baggage. Prices start from US$1,399, with optional bike or camping rentals.
A New Life for Historic Buildings
Amsterdam Revival
After a decade of restoration, the 17th‑century Palace of Justice in Amsterdam’s canal belt has been reopened by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts as a 134‑room haven where marble halls, a Piet Oudolf garden, a holistic spa, and Dutch‑focused restaurants now take centre stage. At Rosewood Amsterdam, you can enjoy waking to canal views, stepping into stories from the city’s past, and finding culture, comfort and conversation all under one roof.

Old Meets New in Prague
The opening of the Fairmont Golden Prague has breathed fresh life into a 1970s brutalist landmark beside the Vltava River in the Czech capital. Lead architect Marek Tichý has preserved blown‑glass chandeliers and gilded fixtures while weaving in calm, art‑rich rooms, skyline restaurants and a garden‑linked spa. Travellers can now explore the city’s Old Town through a new cultural lens.
Explore LP
La Résidence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang has introduced a three‑night immersive experience where you get the chance to greet the Mekong sunrise from a hilltop, shop a dawn market with a chef, cook Lao classics, cruise the river at sunset, offer sticky rice to monks, and walk colonial avenues with a historian. There are warm‑oil bamboo massages in the afternoon, and then alleyway cocktails and story‑driven tasting menus at night.
The package weaves food, faith, architecture and landscape into one itinerary, with every meal and excursion arranged in advance for an easy, breezy holiday.
