TAKING OFF THE DEFINITION OF LUXURY CONTINUES TO EVOLVE. At NetJets, it’s about providing the highest level of Safety and Service – two words that we intentionally capitalise to create emphasis and priority among our employees and those we serve. Safety and Service are the foundations for creating peace of mind, exclusivity and exceptional experiences. It’s about making each flight special and personalised. As we enter the spring season after several cold, wintry months, we begin our busiest time of year – a great opportunity to capitalise on the luxuries we provide. Similarly, within this edition, we feature the best and brightest hotels and restaurants, all aligned to the same goal: to create a memorable, luxurious experience. All that to say, we embrace the opportunity with the new season, the thriving travel and hospitality industries, and the chance to underscore our commitment to Safety and Service. We look forward to serving you and your family. Only NetJets! Adam Johnson Chairman and CEO C O N T R I B U T O R S DEVORAH LEV-TOV The New Yorkbased travel writer explored an array of hotels and resorts for Costa Rica Cool (page 60), all of which place as much emphasis on preserving the natural beauty of the country as on providing ultimate luxe for visitors. MITCH PAYNE From his studio in East London, the photographer enjoys playing with contrasts of colour and light in his work, as demonstrated in Time Travel (page 68), in which he portrays pilot watches against an apt aerial backdrop. SUSANNAH SKIVER BARTON The veteran wine and spirits expert, with qualifications on both sides of the Atlantic, casts her eye on Mexico in Mezcal’s Moment (page 78). The tequila alternative is, at last, proving a hit with connoisseurs globally. JOHNNY DAVIS In Dreaming Big (page 24), the London-based fashion journalist gets a glimpse of the future from the men behind Vollebak, a clothing company which does not so much think outside of the box as out of this world. JEREMY WAYNE An Englishman in the US, the acclaimed food writer headed to Chicago to discover America’s Culinary Crossroads (page 72), a city where established restaurateurs and inventive newcomers are giving the dining scene a fresh face.
