In the autumn edition of Luxury Travel, our cover story, Limelight Locations, delves into the surprising influence of film and TV on our holiday plans. From fan favourite, Italy, to more surprising destinations such as Samoa, South Korea and the UK’s Cotswolds, we unveil the destinations on the rise in 2024 and beyond.

We venture to the ends of the earth in White Out – a tale of voyaging to the Geographic North Pole aboard Ponant’s luxurious ice breaker, Le Commandant Charcot; and take things a little slower in oft-overlooked Laos, aboard a striking new ship on the upper Mekong. Journalist Bella Falk has a wild awakening in Botswana, a country where true luxury is about connecting with nature in true seclusion; and Belinda Craigie finds in Ireland a country that makes a lasting impression on the soul.

Our latest City Guide gives the low-down on where to stay, play and dine in dynamic Dubai, while our latest photo essay showcases a place of wonderful contrasts in Mexico City.

Back on home soil, we check into Kangaroo Island icon, Southern Ocean Lodge, four years after it was left in ashes, discover a rustic retreat in France’s island gem, Corsica, and find Kokomo Private Island to be the epitome of an island idyll.

From the Dolomites to Osaka, England to Venice and even Peru, this issue of Luxury Travel takes you around the world in beautiful, authentic and sustainable luxury.
