4 Reasons To Stay At Capella Singapore On Sentosa Island

When Roger Tempest inherited Broughton Estate at the age of seven, tadpoles flowed from the taps and the main house was so exposed to the elements that in winter the billiard table gathered a light dusting of snow. The family dined in hats and gloves. The land had been given to his ancestors in 1097, in the aftermath of the Norman invasion, when wolves still roamed England. For almost a millennium, these 3,000 acres on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales have mirrored the history of our land: the enclosures, the persecution of predators, deforestation, modern agriculture and the gradual eradication of the wild. Today, Broughton is part of a new conversation about land use that could rewrite the book on what England looks like.

Most people who have visited the Caribbean are familiar with the island of St. Barthélemy (a.k.a. “St. Barts”) in the French West Indies.

Saadiyat Island Abu Dhabi was awarded the Guinness World Records™ title for the largest display of messages in bottles. The destination’s achievement stands as a testament to its uniqueness and was celebrated with a memorable stunt. 1,100 bottles, each containing a unique message, were collected, and prominently displayed at Saadiyat Beach. Inspired by Paris’s iconic Pont des Arts bridge, Saadiyat Island invited guests to partake in this endeavor. Participants were encouraged to write a brief note expressing their fondness for Saadiyat Island or sharing their personal reflections on the concept of love. These heartfelt notes were then carefully placed inside glass bottles and transported to Saadiyat Beach Club a week later where a local sand artist creatively arranged the bottles into a large installation forming the words ‘I ♥ Saadiyat Island’.

The proper way to arrive at Porto Zante Villas & Spa on the Greek island of Zakynthos is by yacht. Not just because that’s probably the best way to get to any island, or the fact that this resort in the green, hilly Ionian chain in the country’s western stretch recently installed landing piers for this purpose. Skipping the road in from the airport allows you to also skip the sight of the pubs clustered around Zakynthos town that appeal to the young British vacationers who have used this island as a party island for decades. Over on the island’s east coast in a secluded setting, Porte Zante lives in a totally different world: intimate, cossetting and very, very private.

In my tiny home country of Singapore, we're all obsessed with overseas travel. Our closets are stuffed with a baffling quantity of winterwear, considering we live in year-round tropical heat. Supermarkets stack suitcases for sale next to carts of durians. Grocery runs to neighboring Malaysia are weekly affairs. A study by Visa once ranked Singaporeans the most frequent leisure travelers in the world. But when the 2020 lockdown happened, we were forced to do something we'd never done before: look inward and consider what our own 280 square miles had to offer.
