Editor’s Note

by | Apr 1, 2014 | Dec-Jan 2015

Our magazine is growing! Over the last couple of years, we have witnessed an increased popularity in our travel segments and diversity of coverage in all things travel. With a broader editorial selection to inspiring new departments that focus on luxury travel ideas, we rebrand ourselves as World Travel Magazine. The Wellness & Travel section will cover the latest wellness trends, excellent spas around the world and the Spa lifestyle.

We give you the quick and easy on seven dream destinations that are a must in any traveller’s list. These are some of the most breath taking places to visit in 2015. Speaking of breath taking, we review some of the most luxurious properties to stay in Dubai and Marrakech. The opulent Arabic design, decor and architecture coupled with exceptional hospitality makes these some of the most sought after places to stay in the region.

We take an in-depth look at the world of Hammams. There is nothing quite as sublime as sinking into a deep bath and the transformative power of hot water and steam restore tired muscles and renew a weary mind. This is undoubtedly one of life’s simplest, yet greatest pleasures.

With so much money flowing into Hong Kong, the luxury bar is set high in this prosperous city with the finest establishments competing to stay on top of each other, making this one of Asia’s top city destinations for luxury travellers. We cover the best places to stay, dine and shop in this Asian hotspot.

Kerala, in all its emerald splendour, is certainly a glowing gem in India’s cultural crown. It’s called god’s own country for a reason! Rajasthan on the other hand is royal and majestic. From the natural beauty of the varied landscape to the glorious heritage, delectable cuisine and much more, these two regions are excellent starting points to explore the vastness of India.

With Christmas and New Year celebrations in full swing, the temptation to indulge and surrender in the battle of the bulge is ever-present. We shortlist some of the best healthy escapades worth exploring around the world that are perfect for an active and healthy getaway.

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Enjoy reading!
