JETSETTER JOURNEYS
The latest in experiences, tours and wellbeing breaks
MYSTICAL ASIA
There isn’t a time of year when Japan isn’t appealing.
This winter, Niseko Village comes to life with
boutiques that beckon, renowned restaurants and
five-star hotels. If you’re travelling for a culinary
experience, warming ramen and udon, fresh
sashimi, and Hokkaido seafood and yakitori will
satiate all cravings. Those who love a warm soak at
the end of the day can dip into their own private
onsen fed by geothermal waters, to reap the
benefits. And those who love the outdoors and
nature can enjoy skiing at it’s best, at the Mizuno no
Sawa, offering the steepest runs and a track for
novices. A stay at the Kasara Niseko Village
Townhouse is a must, boasting Japanese charm,
and a resident concierge, for reservations and to
make fresh tracks for a guided mountain orientation.

IT’S HERE!
By now you may have heard that the UAE’s most expensive hotel
has opened its doors at the seahorse-shaped Jumeirah Bay island.
The highly-anticipated Bulgari Resort & Residences Dubai, in
collaboration with Meraas, is an urban oasis offering the ultimate in
luxury for those who want to sail up to their resort, or treat
themselves to a staycation. Guests can choose to stay at one of the
101 suites that boast gorgeous views of the shimmering waters, as
well as a plush Bulgari throw on each bed, to cosy up in comfort.
Attention to detail is key, with everything from Dhs2,000+ noisecancellation
headsets to shoe-fitting collaborations with Berlutti, a
beach bag, and plenty of other gorgeous necessities. The 20 villas
boast a sizeable private pool on the terrace – large enough for an
intimate gathering – a leather couch to rival most home options,
dining table fit for a feast, and a walk-in closet. Gastronomic offerings
feature the sun-soaked all-day dining Italian café, and Il Ristorante by
renowned chef Niko Romito. Can’t squeeze in a stay at the resort
anytime soon? A trip to the Spa for a hammam treatment and La
Mer facial, followed by a few laps at the indoor pool, will allow you
to experience the resort’s hospitality and Italian luxury at its best.
