BEACHES 

SECRET 

YOU HAVE TO SEE! 

BY: JOSIE SALDAT 

The world over, traveling to a beach 

is one of the most favorite vacation 

things we collectively love to do. 

The soft sands, crashing waves and 

ever-changing shoreline is simply 

irresistible. But the popular beaches 

are overcrowded and increasingly 

more touristy. If you are searching for 

a true escape, put these seven secret 

beaches on your travel bucket list. 

1DIAZ BEACH 

Cape Town, South Africa 

Dramatic cliffs and pristine 

waters, Diaz beach is scenically 

stunning. Only an hour drive 

from Cape Town, this secret beach 

is situated on Cape Point and 

visible from the lighthouse above. 

Well worth the twenty-minute 

walk to the shoreline, soak in the 

impressive coastal cliffs, but stray 

from the water as rough currents 

make swimming here dangerous. 

1. Diaz Beach, South Africa 


10 . DRIFTTRAVEL.COM 

2. Furore Beach, Italy

2FURORE BEACH 

Amalfi Coast, Italy 

In a small village situated on 

the Amalfi Coast in the province 

of Salerno, Furore is a feast to 

the eyes. The town, known for its 

gorge, is tucked away and often 

called the “town that doesn’t 

exist.” What used to be a scattered 

settlement amongst the mountains 

is now a village, brightly painted 

to entice tourists and visitors to 

their small commune. Bypassing 

the dramatic fjord is a bridge with 

a state road looking down upon a 

sunny secret beach. 

3ASPES BEACH 

Heraklion, Crete 

Only known to locals, Aspes 

is located on the south coast of 

Heraklion and accessible by boat. 

Situated near the village of Tris 

Ekklisies, this beach is one of the 

most remote and inaccessible 

areas of the Asteroussia Mountains 

with high cliffs and sea caves. The 

beach was named Aspes, meaning 

mountain collapse in Greek, due 

to the sliding cliffs in the area. 

3. Aspes Beach, Greece 

4CAPE LEVEQUE 

Western Australia 

At the end of the remote 

peninsula in Western Australia’s 

Kimberly region, Cape Leveque 

offers a unique slice of historic 

paradise. Earthy rocks of rich rust 

color juxtapose the white sand 

extending along the coastline. 

Accessible only by four wheel 

drive vehicle or seaplane, this 

secret beach was once a campsite 

for ancient tribes in Northern 

Australia. 

4. Cape Levesque, Australia 



5. Ao Sane Beach, Thailand

5AO SANE BEACH 

Phuket, Thailand 

This quiet secluded beach 

is tucked away and only found if 

you know where it exists. In close 

proximity to tourist filled Nai 

Harn Beach, Ao Sane is a place 

of solitude and an inviting break 

from the populated bustle. This 

rocky beach is one of Phuket’s 

most tranquil destinations offering 

magnificent snorkeling. 

6BLACK VOLCANIC BEACH 

Wai’anapanapa Park, Maui 

Wai’anapanapa is a prime 

example of a beach of natural 

contrast. Hidden below the state 

park’s walking trail is beach 

access to a stretch of ancient black 

volcanic rocks and crashing waves 

of crystal turquoise waters. This 

beach is a must-stop while driving 

the infamous Road to Hana. There 

are freshwater caves, lava tubes 

and blowholes, all surrounded by 

vibrant green landscape. 

7 

PACHENA BAY BEACH 

British Columbia, Canada 

This protected bay on the 

west coast of Vancouver Island 

is located near the fishing and 

marine community of Bamfield. 

During non-camping months, this 

beach can be devoid of people, but 

rich in marine and wildlife. Many 

backpackers start at Pachena to 

access the West Coast Trail. Here 

you can explore the unspoiled 

west coast by hiking through oldgrowth 

rainforest and partake in 

diving or beach combing.

48HOURS IN... 

HONG KONG 

BY: TRACEY DRAKE 

Hong Kong is a city of many 

personalities - a mix of old and 

new worlds that meet squarely in 

the middle of this sky high bustling 

metropolis. It is also a popular 

layover point for flights to many 

other countries. So, if you find 

yourself in Hong Kong for just two 

days, as I did, here are a few of my 

so I booked into the Ritz-Carlton 

Hong Kong for one night, which 

occupies the 102-118 floors of the 

International Commerce Centre. 

From the airport, take the MTR 

Airport Express train to Kowloon 

Station, which is located in the same 

building as the hotel - for quick 

return to the airport. 

Shopping for scarves at Stanley Market 

The Peak - high above Hong Kong 

from the comfort of my lovely hotel 

room. The hotel is so high, it makes 

all the other skyscrapers seem short 

in comparison. Trust me - you 

will not find this city perspective 

anywhere else in Hong Kong. 

SEE 

The other popular 

place from which to 

see the whole city is atop The Peak. 

The vintage funicular tram ride up 

to The Peak is as much fun as the 

destination, and the Peak Tram is 

easy to reach by foot from Central 

Station (MTR). I recommend 

purchasing the Sky Terrace pass, 

428 meters above sea level, giving 

you access to the highest elevation 

deck with 360 degree stellar views 

of Hong Kong. 

short-stay recommendations on 

where to stay, where to eat and what 

to see to make the most of your two 

days in Hong Kong. 

STAY 

I was looking for 

a unique hotel 

experience that offered beautiful 

accommodation, convenient 

location and one-of-a-kind views, 


The hotel is luxurious, elegant and 

tall. Did you know that the Ritz- 

Carlton Hong Kong is the highest 

(not the tallest) hotel in the world? 

The deluxe harbor view suite (500 

square feet, and spacious by world 

hotel standards, never mind Asian) 

was on the 116 floor and the views 

over the city were astounding. It was 

like a week’s worth of sightseeing 

There are many amazing markets 

in Hong Kong -Temple Street 

Market and Ladies Market are huge, 

very busy and time consuming - 

somewhat impractical for a two 

day itinerary. I would suggest 

Stanley Market. One of the oldest 

fishing villages in Hong Kong, it is a 

charming place with a lovely beach, 

Tin Hau Temple, and a great market 

for buying well priced silk garments, 

art, jewelry and souvenirs.

Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong and city below 

AT A GLANCE 

RITZ-CARLTON HONG KONG 

View of Hong Kong from the 116th floor 

• High above Hong Kong on floors 

102-118 of the International 

Commerce Centre. 

• 312 guest rooms, each with 

astounding city or harbor views. 

• The highest bar in the world, 

OZONE is 490 meters in the 

sky, serves tapas and has a great 

cocktail menu. 

• The hotel boasts 360-degree 

views that will take your breath 

away. 

• Five restaurants in-house that 

range from local cuisine to 

authentic Italian. 

• An indoor infinity pool and spa 

are located on the very top floor. 

• Club floors: 24-hour access to the 

Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge and 

dedicated Club Concierge, work 

stations, business center and 

express check-out. 


Aberdeen Fishing Village and Jumbo Floating Restaurant 

An absolute sight to behold, and 

one of my favorite places in Hong 

Kong is Aberdeen Floating Fishing 

Village, where you can see more 

than 600 working junk boats, a 

floating village that houses about 

6,000 people, and even a massive 

floating restaurant - all set in the 

midst of midtown Hong Kong. 

EAT 

Hong Kong is a 

foodie wonderland. 

Be sure to stop, buy and sample 

from street carts and outdoor food 

stalls. In Central, try the egg tarts at 

Tai Cheong Bakery and the shrimp 

wonton soup at Mak’s Noodle. 

If you are feeling adventurous, 

I highly recommend spending 

four hours with Cecilia and 

Silvana, sisters and owners 

of Hong Kong Foodie Tours 

(hongkongfoodietours.com). It is 

the absolute best way to taste your 

way through authentic Hong Kong 

- in other words, eat like a local 


instead of a tourist. Silvana took 

us to Tai Po Market. Off the beaten 

path, the pedestrian boulevards 

are lined with family owned food 

stalls. The tour included handmade 

sweets, seafood at a Dai Pai Dong, 

delicious roasted goose, snake soup 

and mind-blowing steamed rice 

rolls. You can taste the proud local 

heritage in every bite. 

Tai Po Market 

Hong Kong is 

48 HRS an intoxicating 

city that awakens the senses with 

tastes, sounds, smells and sights 

that are truly unique and forever 

memorable. With just forty eight 

hours to experience it, have a game 

plan for making the most of your 

two days in Hong Kong.

Photographer Notes: 

(left) Muun tribe lady from a remote area of Myanmar, close to Bangladeshi 

border in Chin region. These women are known for their facial tattoos. Tattoos 

were applied to thirteen year old girls to ensure they were not taken against 

their will. This tradition was outlawed many years ago and will die within a 

generation. 

(above) Paduand woman at Lake Inle. Copper rings were applied to push down 

the shoulder plates and make neck appear longer. This practice comes with health 

concerns, and is now outlawed. Younger generations do wear neck rings but with 

no shoulder plate pressure, so their natural posture is not affected. 




(left) This lady was selling Betel nuts and smoking the biggest 

homemade cigar in a village in Bagan. Ladies do like their 

tobacco in Myanmar. 

(below) Just 100 meters away from the smoking lady, I came 

upon a factory where local ladies were weaving fabrics. 



Young monk in a monastery in Yangon. I was 

told that living in a monastery is something 

every Burmese person goes through at least 

once in their lifetime. I saw this young 

apprentice playing with a toy car and had to 

smile... boys will be boys! 



MYANMAR (FORMERLY BURMA), 

geographically the largest country in 

Southeast Asia, is made up of more than 

100 ethnics groups. It borders India, 

Bangladesh, China, Laos and Thailand. 

The nation is home to progressing cities, 

traditional villages, regional markets, 

as well as parks and stunning lakes. As 

one of the most inspiring destinations 

for travelers in Southeast Asia, Bagan 

has inspired visitors to Myanmar for 

nearly 1,000 years. Ancient chronicles 

say that there were once 4,446 temples in 

this region; today approximately 2,230 

remain. To learn more about travel to 

Myanmar, visit www.myanmar.travel. 



Lake Inle fishermen have 

a unique way of rowing 

a boat with their foot. 

Conical fishnets are being 

used for the daily catch. 

Since modern and effective 

fishing methods are being 

used more and more, this 

tradition is dying fast.

It doesn’t matter whether this is your first or 51st visit to Myanmar: you won’t 

fail to notice the energy, hope and possibilities for the future that hang in the air. 

SIMON RICHMOND, TRAVEL WRITER 

[LONELY PLANET MYNAMAR (BURMA) TRAVEL GUIDE] 


PINK SANDS CLUB 

CANOUAN ISLAND, ST. VINCENT & THE GRENADINES 



It isn’t every day that you get to 

experience how the other half 

lives. You know - wealthy beyond 

imagination with access to well... 

everything. In December, I had 

the pleasure of spending five days 

at Pink Sands Club, an exclusive 

hotel property located on the 

Caribbean island of Canouan in 

St. Vincent and the Grenadines. 

With villas that rent for as much 

as $20,000 per night, I wasn’t sure 

what to expect, but it far exceeded 

anything I could have imagined. 

In fact, it was pure pink perfection. 



Pink Sands Club officially opened 

in October, 2016 and it is already 

garnering worldwide attention. It 

may be the breathtaking seclusion 

that grabs your heart the moment 

you set foot on Canouan Island. It 

might be the world-class service 

and authentically friendly staff that 

leaves a lasting impression. And it 

might be the hotel’s location, right on 

the pristine white sands of Godahl 

Beach that has you never wanting 

to leave. For me - it was all three. 

With just 26 suites and 6 villas, Pink 

Sands Club is an exclusive paradise 

for those looking to get away from it 

all, without giving up anything at all. 

The Pink Sands Club Spa, with 

nine hillside villas and two overwater 

palapas, offers the best in 

recuperative luxury. I indulged in a 

spa pedicure that came with the most 

amazing massage and foot treatment. 

The award winning 18-hole 

championship golf course, designed 

by Jim Fazio, offers a challenging 

course with the longest par 3 in the 

world and the best views of the island. 

Sunset from the 13th tee is a must! 

Guests are truly spoiled when it 

comes to dining at Pink Sands Club. 

Pre-beach breakfast at Lagoon Cafe, 

lunch at The Pool Bar 

or dressed up for dinner 

at Juliet, every culinary 

option is available. From 

the moment I arrived, 

every staff member knew 

my name, how I liked our 

eggs and how I took our 

coffee. It was impressive. 

For anyone traveling 

with children, there 

is a spectacular Kids 

Club that will appeal to 

toddlers as well as teens. 

A lot of time, attention 

and money has gone into 

ensuring the little ones 

have a great vacation too. 

This was fun! Each suite 

is assigned a dedicated 

golf cart to navigate 

the impressive and 

expansive grounds, 

estate, second beach 

club and golf club house. 


WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND GO 

TO YOUR HAPPY PLACE, IT IS PROBABLY 

CANOUAN ISLAND... 

EVEN IF YOU’VE NEVER BEEN HERE. 

IT’S TRULY THE STUFF THAT 

DREAMS ARE MADE OF. 

The number of unspoiled islands 

that have not been taken over by 

tourism becomes fewer and fewer 

each year. Canouan Island is one of 

the rare ones. This island has it all - 

stunning white beaches, clear blue 

waters and lush forests. It is also 

home to one of the largest living 

coral reefs in the Caribbean, rife 

with colorful marine life, ideal for 


snorkeling and diving. Directly to 

the south of Mustique Island, and 

a 35-minute flight from Barbados, 

the famous Tobago Cays Marine 

Park, where you can swim with sea 

turtles, is a short boat ride away. The 

weather on Canouan (pronounced 

Can-o-wan)is warm and sunny but 

with much less humidity that other 

tropical destinations. 


GETTING TO CANOUAN ISLAND 

• Commercial Airline: Canouan Island is an island 

hopper away from Barbados, Grenada, and St. 

Lucia, with scheduled flights daily (often included in 

4-7 nights stay). 

• Private Jet: The Pink Sands Club resort has two 

private jets for guests who prefer a more elegant 

mode of air transportation (included in 10+ nights 

stay with certain accommodation). 

• Canouan Marina: A brand new luxury marina 

opened on the island (adjacent to the airport) 

which features 80 slips, six of which are for yachts 

up to 100 meters in length. 


The accommodation at Pink Sands 

Club is special. I stayed in the one 

bedroom suite. It was oceanfront, 

with unobstructed views of the 

white sands, turquoise waters, lush 

island mountains, and the everchanging 

Caribbean skies with the 

most spectacular sunrises. 

The suite featured a spa bathroom 

that is larger than most New York 

apartments. It came well equipped 

with a separate water closet, huge 

double marble vanity and immense 

soaker tub. Of course, toiletries and 

bath products were provided as well 

as Evian mineral water face mist, 

and other niceties. I am not known 

for my light packing abilities and 

I couldn’t fill up the three closets, 

valet and drawer space in the 

wardrobe area. 

True to the name, there is a lot of 

pink in the suite and personally, I 

loved it. It was a deep tone of pink 

that felt right at home on Canouan 

Island. The large bedroom with 

king cloud-like bed and luxurious 

Pratesi Italian linens, was separated 

from the living room by a wall 

that featured a huge mirror, which 

magically turned into an embedded 

television. Then, at the touch of a 

button, the wall opened, offering 

magnificent ocean views directly 

from bed. There was a tablet that 

conveniently controlled everything 

in the suite. 

My favorite part was the Italian 

inspired terrazza. Unlike dinky 

hotel balconies, this terrace is made 

for living. It opened wide to bring 

in the cool ocean breeze or closed 

tight to keep out the tropical midday 

heat. The restorative vistas had a 

healing effect on my highly stressed, 

over worked psyche.

MUST-SEE 

CITIES FOR FOODIES 

BY: LEE DRAKE 

Food is as good an excuse to travel 

as any and often the local cuisine 

is an adventure in itself. Food can 

tell stories of wars fought, lands 

colonized, cultures merged. Travel 

and food go hand in hand but, as 

the world becomes more accessible, 

where are the best cities for foodies? 

As airfares decrease in price and 

the world’s farthest reaches become 

not-so-far-flung, food based travel 

is an increasingly popular option. 

The world’s greatest restaurants are 

more accessible than ever and the 

tastiest food and most refreshing 

drinks are just a plane hop away. 

Street vendor in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. 

1. HO CHI MINH 

CITY, VIETNAM 

The hectic buzz and verve of 

Vietnam’s largest city is matched 

only by the vibrant nature of its 

cuisine. Drawing on its colonial 

history, Ho Chi Minh City blends 

French and Vietnamese flavors and 

styles. The famous sandwich, the 

banh mi, is just one such beautiful 

result of the European and Asian 

cultures coming together. 

What really makes Ho Chi Minh 

stand out however, is the variety and 

quality of its regional street food. 

On every corner is another plume 

of smoke and steam erupting over 

a sizzling grill. Fantastic aromas 

and exotic flavors are to be found 

wherever you look. 


The bohemian neighborhood of Barrio Bellavista in Santiago, Chile. 

2. SANTIAGO, CHILE 

The food on offer in Chile’s capital 

city is highly dependent on the 

season, and as such, is always 

guaranteed to be the freshest 

around. The reliance on, and 

appreciation for, local ingredients 

gives the food in Santiago a very 

distinct style. Traditional flavors 

combined with contemporary 

techniques results in this South 

American culinary powerhouse 

being must-taste on any foodie 

world tour. Not to be missed 

is Barrio Bellavista, a Chilean 

neighborhood known for its street 

art, cafes and restaurants.

GROUND

3. LONDON, UK 

London has aggressively and 

triumphantly shaken off the UK’s 

poor post war culinary reputation. 

Top chefs from all around Europe 

and the world are flooding to the 

capital’s restaurants and the results 

are plain to see. Food from dozens 

of cultures and cuisines are on 

offer just a stone’s throw away from 

one another. From traditional pub 

grub to nouvelle cuisine, London 

has it all and more. The city is ever 

changing and the future looks 

bright - and tasty. 

4. FLORENCE, ITALY 

Florence is known as a city of 

culture, but its food more than 

holds its own beside the incredible 

architecture, art and history. The 

city’s many restaurants deal in 

mainly traditional fare, serving 

sauce-heavy pastas and thick slabs 

of bread. However, the food in 

modern Florence has shot into 

the 21st century with a delicious 

bang. Fine dining experiences can 

be found all over the city with 

unbeatable ingredients and Italy’s 

best chefs competing to give the 

intrepid foodie an unforgettable 

experience. 


5. NEW ORLEANS, USA 

North America’s entry on this list, 

like many other great foodie locales, 

has a culinary make-up inspired by 

numerous different cultures. Traces 

of a host of Caribbean flavors, as 

well as French, Native American, 

and African can be found in this 

historical melting pot. The spices 

from the various cultures combine 

with Louisiana’s freshest seafood to 

create an eating experience unlike 

any other.

how to save on your 

HIGH SEAS 

cruise vacation 

BY: BONNIE CONRAD 

Cruises are among the most popular 

of all vacations, and it is easy to 

understand why those seagoing 

getaways are so sought after. As 

hotel prices have continued to rise, 

cruises have become an even better 

value. When you consider that a 

5-star hotel can cost upwards of 

$300-500 a night, it is easy to see 

why a deep discount cruise package 

is such an attractive value. 

Cruising into Montenegro 

The fact that modern cruise 

liners are so impressive in scale, 

accommodations and amenities 

doesn’t hurt either. New cruise ships 

are like 5-star hotels that float from 

one port to another. Consumers 

have benefited as cruise companies 

have raced toward the newest, 

biggest and best ships on the sea. 

Norwegian Cruise Line’s Breakaway at sea 

The economy has also strangely

anxious to try out a cruise vacation, 

as well as cruise enthusiasts who 

simply cannot wait to get back 

on the water. As the recession 

deepened, cruise companies began 

to offer better and better prices, 

translating to excellent value for 

savvy travelers. 

If you are flexible with scheduling, 

you may be able to save even more 

money. The economy has resulted 

in some incredible sales, so you 

can hit the high seas for a week, for 

less than the cost of a few nights 

at a hotel. Also keep in mind the 

money saved on other vacation 

costs including rental cars, baggage 

handling, entertainment and meals. 

With a cruise vacation, especially a 

discount one, you unpack once, and 

your hotel moves with you. 

If you yearn to experience the 

vacation of a lifetime at a price you 

can afford, consider look at great 

deals on 2017 cruises and see how 

vacationing on the water can save 

money while delivered a memorable 

travel experience. 

Working with a travel agency, in 

person or online, you may save 

you even more on the cruise of 

your dreams. While booking 

airfare on your own makes a lot of 

sense, sometimes it helps to have a 

professional in your corner when 

choosing a cruise line and a cabin. 

A good travel agency will have 

established partnerships with every 

cruise line in the industry, allowing 

it to create the trip of a lifetime at an 

unbelievable price. If you know how 

to shop, you can save a substantial 

amount of money on the vacation of 

your dreams. 

Then there is last minute travel, and 

its associated discounts. If you are 

flexible with your travel plans, you 

may be able to save even more. Like 

hotel chains, cruise lines always 

have unsold inventory, and if they 

do not fill it they lose that revenue. 

Those cruise lines would rather sell 

those last remaining cruise cabins 

at a deep discount than miss out on 


Celebrity Solstice resort deck 

the revenue altogether. You may be 

able to land a real bargain simply 

by checking those last-minute deals 

and packing your bags. 

Even if dropping everything and 

hitting the high seas is not your 

style, you can still find great deal. 

Cruise lines offer a number of 

special discounts aimed at many 

different demographics, from 

families and couples to older adults 

and members of professional 

organizations and even employees 

of certain companies. Check with 

your employer - it just may save you 

money or qualify you for upgrades 

on your next cruise vacation. 

It is easy to see why vacationing on 

the open sea is such a popular thing 

to do. If you are looking for your 

next great adventure, just check out 

what the cruise lines have to offer. 

You might be pleasantly surprised. 

According to a 2017 report by 

U.S. News, the best cruise lines 

for the money:

#3 NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE

LIFE+STYLE 

by: ERIC HIMEL 

Less wrinkles mean less hassle when traveling from 

point A to point B and knowing what fabrics pack 

well is, well, half the battle. 

FABRICS TO AVOID PACKING 

Cotton is a ubiquitous fabric that feels good against the 

skin and is in everybody’s closet. A personal favorite! 

However, 100% cotton is one of the worst materials 

you can pack in a suitcase if you want to get to your 

destination unwrinkled. If you have to take pure cotton, 

roll it neatly in your suitcase to minimize wrinkles and 

opt for cotton blend. Avoid silk and linen at all costs - 

both are difficult enough to wear and look sharp even 

when you are not traveling! 

With the advent of Athleisure and technical fabrics 

everywhere these days (for men and women) the 

delineation between casual and athletic wear and hybrid 

fabrications continues to be crossed and muddled. 

Good thing for stylish travelers that these clothes are 

suitcase friendly! 

SO WHAT SHOULD YOU PACK? 

A good rule of thumb? Look for materials that are 

mixed with something synthetic in them like viscose, 

rayon, nylon, spandex or Lycra. These will wrinkle less 

and won’t hold lines when you fold them. They are also 

what gives clothes that little bit of stretch which makes 

them more comfortable! 

Here are my go-to 

fabrics and designers 

that are absolutely 

ready to travel! 

JERSEY 

Lightweight, elegant and 

will not wrinkle. My fave is 

the DVF iconic wrap in a 

modern romper.

WRINKLE-FREE PACKING!

POLYESTER & SPANDEX 

Don’t be turned off by Polyester - it is no longer the same 

as those shirts that were popular in the 70’s at Studio 54. 

Polyester is so much more sophisticated these days and high 

end designers have blended it into dreamy travel options. 

(right) Alice + Olivia sleeveless sheer black maxi dress in 

polyester/spandex blend. 

TECHNO COTTONS 

Many companies offer an exceptional cotton shirt (men 

and women) that are great travel staples. Look for fabric 

like Brooks Brothers Supima® cotton broadcloth dobby, 

specially treated to resist wrinkles. 

(below) Brooks Brothers non-iron regent fit shirts. 

ERIC'S EXPERT TRIP TIPS: 

• Upon arrival, unpack immediately. Never 

hang knitwear to avoid shoulder marks. 

• For a quick refresher, hang items in 

bathroom and turn on hot shower to steam 

• Bring a travel-size can of Static Guard or 

pack Bounce dryer sheet in your suitcase to 

eradicate static cling.

when was the last time you saw 

something for the first time? 


Elizabeth Taylor would have approved of the newly 

renovated Casa Kimberly, her holiday home in Puerto 

Vallarta for more than a quarter century. In 1964, then 

lover Richard Burton gave Casa Kimberly to Elizabeth 

Taylor as a birthday gift, and within the walls of this 

luxurious Mexican hacienda, the two shared a heady and 

hedonistic life, the essence of which still shines bright in 

Puerto Vallarta. It is their love affair in this very special 

Mexican (then sleepy) fishing village that put Puerto 

Vallarta on the world map. The history in this place is 

palpable; it feels royal and rare, and I reveled in every 

moment that I spent at Casa Kimberly. Set over the 

sparkling blue waters of Banderas Bay, amidst the Sierra 

Madre Mountains, and surrounded by a city known for 

CASA KIMBERLY . 


PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO 


• Getting Here: Located in the residential neighborhood of Gringo 

Gulch, Casa Kimberly is just a short walk from downtown Puerto 

Vallarta, and a short taxi ride from the airport. 

THE FINER POINTS 

• Packing: Warm weather resort wear for dining at Casa Kimberly is 

appropriate and required. There is also some hill walking involved 

so be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes. 

• Attractions: You may feel the urge to hunker down and never leave 

Casa Kimberly (I certainly did!) but put aside at least one full day to 

explore this charming city, walk along the Malecon, and take a boat 

ride to Los Arcos for a little snorkelling.

its terracotta rooftops (one of my 

favorite things about PV), Casa 

Kimberly is nestled in the residential 

hillside neighborhood of Gringo 

Gulch, and offers discriminating 

guests an exquisite escape. 

With just nine suites, the property 

boasts an inner courtyard, original 

swimming pool and terrace, spa, 

dining, bar and of course, all the old 

world Hollywood glamour you could 

ever want! 

The fine dining restaurant, aptly 

named The Iguana Restaurant is 

open air, offering diners beautiful 

evening views of Puerto Vallarta, and 

a menu that expertly blends delicious 

regional and continental fine cuisine. 

Luckily, even if you cannot stay 

overnight, The Iguana is open to the 

public by reservation. 

Named after Elizabeth Taylor’s 

starring role in National Velvet, the 

1944 movie that truly made her 

famous, we stayed in The Velvet Suite 

and it was magnificent. 

Our bedroom (previous page) 

featured a stunning carved bed and 

antique early 19th century decor 

including crystal chandeliers and 

oriental rugs. Even the massive clawfoot 

tub in the opulent bathroom 

offered breathtaking views from a 

soaking position. 

Large wooden paned sliding doors 

lead to an incredible terrace (opposite 

page) with a raised 2-person Jacuzzi 

and stellar views of Banderas Bay and 

the city of Puerto Vallarta below. End 

of day is a special time here. In fact, 

this room could have been named 

The Velvet Suite because of the way 

the velvety, warm sun washes over 

the terrace at sunset. 


The famous Lover’s Arch, which 

allowed Taylor and Burton to 

move freely, from one side of 

the property to the other, away 

from paparazzi and prying eyes, 

remains intact and original. 

Casa Kimberly is a place of 

silver screen history, modern 

elegance and amenities that are 

world-class. It is a new way to 

experience charming Puerto 

Vallarta, Mexico with a once-ina-lifetime 

opportunity to sleep, 

swim and live where Hollywood 

royalty once did.

RICHARD BURTON’S LEGENDARY LOVE

TASMANIA’S 

EAST COAST 

AUSTRALIA 


BY: JOSIE SALDAT 

The term “pictures do not do 

justice” was probably invented here 

on the magically scenic East Coast 

of Tasmania. So put down your 

smart phone, and truly let your eyes 

wander this heart shaped island, 

located on the edge of the world. 

With a tragic past, Tasmania exudes 

a mysterious wisdom and wondrous 

energy unlike any other. 

Start your road trip up the coast 

in the capital of Hobart; a port city 

with historic architecture, the narrowest 

streets and a diverse artistic 

population. A city of contrast combining 

heritage charm with modern 

living, locals live only a short drive 

away from some of the world’s 

most alluring coastal beaches and 

endless pristine landscapes. For 

local “tassies”, February is the end 

of summer and beginning of a new 

work or school year, but for travelers 

it is a time of vacant roads and 

secluded raw landscapes. It may be 

one of the world’s most underrated 

destinations so be sure to go before 

the rest of the world clues in. 


ROAD TRIPPING IN 

TASMANIA IS ALL 

ABOUT THE JOURNEY 

If there is one thing you should 

know about road tripping in 

Tasmania: it is all about the journey. 

In other words, strive to become a 

Tasmanian sponge and submerse 

yourself into exploring the island. 

Through corridors of green, the 

dramatic windy roads offer vantage 

points to uninhabited turquoise 

coasts. 

Past the small community of 

Swansea lies Freycinet National 

Park, home to one of the most 

magnificent and picturesque 

locales, Wineglass Bay. Opt for the 

trek down to the beach instead of 

the lookout. You will need to walk 

the beach to truly feel the magic of 

this secluded hot spot. The walk is 

worth the legwork of one hour from 

the car park. Besides, if you have 

been sitting in the car it’s a great 

opportunity to stretch your legs. 

With the rugged backdrop of the 

Hazzards, a series of jagged red 

and pink tinted granite peaks, you 

should devote an entire day just to 

explore here. If you want to spend 

a few days, there are many amenities 

accessible including camping, 

hostels, equipped cabins or the 

ultimate retreat, Saffire Freycinet 

which has been named Australia’s 

top luxury hotel. 

Hop out of your vehicle 

and roam the soft white 

and squeaky sand floors of 

Binalong Bay. On the south 

side of the beach lays the Bay 

of Fires which may feel like the 

Caribbean, except swap the palm 


trees for Tasmania’s majestic 

gum trees. Given the name 

in 1773 by Captain Tobias 

Furneaux for the burnt orangehued 

granite boulders hugging 

the coast that contrast against the 

clear blue waters. Here you can 

post up for the night at the Bay 

of Fires Conservation Area which 

offers beach-side camping with 

dreamy views of acacia trees and 

the sea. 

Not far away lies the largest town 

on the north-east coast, St. Helens. 

As the state’s second largest fishing 

port, seafood does not have to 

swim far to your plate. Local family 

owned pizzeria, Timboli’s serves up 

an Italian classic, pizza topped with 

mouthwatering seafood – and yes, 

I recommend ordering a large pie. 

To walk off the copious amounts 

of cheese, grab your sneakers and 

explore the spectacular hour long 


walk to St. Helens Point and the 

Peron Dunes, where you can run 

around pretending you are in the 

Sahara Desert or simply enjoy the 

sunset from a bed of sand. 

Off the Tasmanian Coast are many 

surrounding islands that are lush 

with nature and wildlife. Take a 

thirty minute ferry ride to Maria 

Island National Park, where native 

animals roam freely and pieces of 

the island’s criminal past remain. 

Pack a picnic and wander the island 

to see ruins of the mess room, barn, 

chapel and prison cells - all dating 

back to the Darlington convict 

settlement of 1825. 

who came to the island in 1777 

and carved his initials in a tree 

that burnt down in 1905 and was 

replaced with the plaque. Since the 

1920’s, Bruny has become infamous 

for a holiday hot spot with hiking 

trails, surfing beaches, ancient 

caves and a small friendly local 

community. 

In total, North Bruny and South 

Bruny together have nine coastal 

enclaves with the most popular 

being Adventure Bay. Dip into Hotel 

Bruny, where freshness and food 

made on premises is their specialty. 

Try the fish of the day, caught by 

local fishermen Dave and Ross, 

who bring in an exclusive ‘catch 

of the day’ that is always changes 

When you return to Hobart you 

can catch a quick passenger ferry 

over to Bruny, the apple island 

that exemplifies the term “room 

to roam”. Consisting of two land 

masses joined by a long narrow 

isthmus, the island was inhabited 

by the Tasmania Aborigines until 

European arrival. Visit a plaque 

dedicated to Explorer James Cook 

and is paired with Bruny Island’s 

original cider. Food for the body 

and food for the mind; indulge your 

inner creative self on an island that 

welcomes you as a local yourself. 

A taste of Tasmania is all one needs 

to spark a connection with this 

heart shaped island and a promise 

to return not too far in the future. 



QIN SHI HUANG’S 

TERRACOTTA ARMY 


BY: GILLIAN PRESLEY 

The first emperor of a unified China, 

Qin Shi Huang, reveled in truth 

and beauty. Consider the Great 

Wall of China and the Terracotta 

Army. However, he loathed 

aging and deeply feared death. 

Sometimes people who fear death 

feel a need to control everything, 

and not surprisingly Qin Shi 

Huang was known as much for his 

creations as he was for his tyranny. 

As emperor, Qin Shi Huang 

reorganized the bureaucracy, built 

a network of roads, simplified 

the Chinese script, standardized 

weights and measures, and minted 

new copper coin. Still, the Qin 

Empire faced recurring threats 

by Xiongnu nomads to the north. 

To fend off the Xiongnu, Qin Shi 

Huang ordered the construction 

of an enormous defensive wall, 

which formed the first section 

of what would become the Great 

Wall of China. Unfortunately the 

Great Wall couldn’t save Qin Shi 

Huang from aging and he became 

obsessed with living forever. He 

ordered court doctors to concoct 

potions to keep him alive. As 

a failsafe, he also ordered the 

construction of an enormous tomb 

for himself, which came equipped 

with molten rivers and an army 

of some 8,000 life-sized terracotta 

clay warriors to be placed in the 

tomb, along with terracotta horses, 

real chariots and bronze weapons. 

The emperor died in 210 BC at age 

49, and today, his legacy continues 

to live on in the magnificent and 

mysterious buried city of death. 


The exquisite Terracotta Army was 

discovered on March 29, 1974, to 

the east of Xi’an in Shaanxi province 

by farmers who were digging a 

well at the foot of Mount Li, a 

location favored for its underground 

springs, gold and glimmering jade. 

According to the Shiji, or “Records of 

the Grand Historian,” the mausoleum 

precinct (city of death) began 

construction shortly after Qin Shi 

Huang became king, and continued 

until shortly after his death. 

Qin Shi Huang had four pits 

excavated to house the terracotta 

army, although only three were 

filled by the time construction 

ceased. Pit 1 is the largest pit, Pit 2 

is the most spectacular, and Pit 3 

houses the command headquarters. 

Traces of Chinese purple and other 

colors may be seen on some of the 

half solid/half hollow terracotta 

warriors, and the bronze swords 

unearthed in Pit 2 remain sharp 

and surprisingly pliable. When a 

331-pound terracotta warrior was 

removed from one of these swords, 

the sword slowly returned to its 

original shape. Scientific studies 

concluded that the Qin swords 

were coated with chrome, which is 

interesting since chrome oxidation 

is a relatively recent phenomenon. 

How did Chinese ancestors do 

it more than 2,000 years ago? 


Qin Shi Huang 

Ancestral name: Ying 嬴 

Clan name: Zhao 趙 

Given name: Zheng 政 

Qin Shi Huang was the king of the 

Chinese State of Qin from 246 BC to 221 

BC [Warring States Period] and the first 

emperor of a unified China in 221 BC. 

In 2007 and 2008, the British Museum 

in London displayed a collection 

of 120 objects and 20 terracotta 

warriors in an exhibition titled The 

First Emperor: China’s Terracotta 

Army. For seven months, visitors 

flocked to the museum in herds to 

marvel at the extraordinary casting 

techniques and artistic abilities that 

dominated the ancient Qin Empire. 

Today, visitors are making trips to 

China to visit the Terracotta Army . 

If you go to China: The Terracotta 

Army Museum, located in Xi’an, in 

West China’s Shaanxi Province, has 

become one of the country’s most 

popular attractions, and it will be 

crowded no matter when you go. 

However, avoid the Chinese National 

Day Holiday and Labor Day Holiday. 

Start early in the day and allow 

for several hours of viewing time.
