Forget the juice cleanse. The most serious women in wellness are heading to the Roman countryside for something considerably more rigorous. Images courtesy of The Raven PR & Palazzo Fiuggi. There is a certain kind of exhaustion that no amount of Pilates fixes — the low-grade, post-summer kind, equal parts inflammation, inflight meals, and the

Clinical judgement shapes the quality of aesthetic care, from understanding a patient’s concern to deciding whether treatment is appropriate. Estimates from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery indicate that plastic surgeons performed nearly 178,000 non-surgical aesthetic procedures across six Southeast Asian markets in 2025, including 11,753 in Singapore. These figures exclude treatments administered by

Connoisseurship is where wealth becomes wisdom. Access to exceptional ingredients, bottles and objects has rarely been broader, but acquiring them is only the beginning. Knowing how, when and with what to enjoy them sharpens judgement, deepens pleasure and reveals qualities price alone cannot explain. Glass of Champagne & Caviar on a mother-of-pearl spoon.

The suit is returning to menswear at precisely the moment when fewer men are required to wear one. Across 2026 collections, tailoring has moved away from the rigid corporate uniform towards what buyers have described as a “new formality”: relaxed double-breasted jackets, softly structured silhouettes, pleated trousers and fabrics chosen as much for comfort as

As luxury evolves beyond indulgence, wellbeing is becoming a more considered pursuit, shaped by what nourishes the body, restores the mind, and enriches everyday life. LUXUO explores this shift through three acts: Nourish, from Javanese herbal traditions to mindful dining; Restore, from sleep science to longevity; and Reconnect, through meditation and mindfulness. Together, these stories

More than looking for a marketing strategy, Azimut executives did some real soul-searching to identify the needs of today’s yachtsmen when creating their Seadeck series. Three key points came up, comprising the need to reduce emissions, to incorporate sustainable build materials, and to provide ways to enjoy the sea in a simple, direct and even

For more than six decades, the Seiko Prospex line – short for “Professional Specifications” – has occupied a singular place in sports timekeeping, if not in timing. Rather than treating dive watches as luxury signifiers styled after functional templates, Seiko developed this type of watch through rigorous field trials in extreme environments. From the freezing

You will already have heard about what was once the year’s worst kept secret but once again, for the record, IAMWATCH is back for its second edition this year from 12-15 November. It will happen at the same place, the Singapore EDITION, and the programme details have not been published yet, but here is what

Gandhidham is often seen as a practical stopover for travellers heading to Kutch, but spend a little more time here and you will witness a very different side of the region. There are historic landmarks, royal residences, coastal landscapes and reminders of the area’s connection with trade. Whether you are travelling for corporate commitments or

What led you and your husband to design and build Villa The Antidote in Mexico?In 2020, living in Singapore with the world at a standstill, we started a small yacht charter business, and being out on the

There are two kinds of summer camp. There is the sort involving laminated name tags, communal cabins and someone called Darren shouting about canoeing. And then there is Forte Village. Here, in the Sardinian sunshine, young athletes are more likely to be found training with Olympic champions than making friendship bracelets — and post-training recovery

When beginning a search for your next hotel stay, it’s only natural to turn towards online travel agencies (OTAs) like Booking.com, Trivago, Expedia, etc. The appeal of an OTA is that it brings together thousands of different hotels on one platform, making it (seemingly) easier for you to find what you’re

In London, luxury is increasingly defined not only by what people own, but by knowing what matters, where to find it and why it carries cultural significance. As luxury retail becomes more globalised and the same maisons, watches, jewellery and fashion can be found across major cities, context has become harder to reproduce than product.

Teji | Cowie, the superyacht law firm launched in September 2025, is celebrating its first anniversary after a year in which it advised owners on matters representing approximately €1.5 billion in yacht value and more than 25,000GT of vessels. The firm opened its doors with a straightforward proposition: that owners, family offices and industry professionals

London has been refining the culture of private nightlife for more than three centuries. The gentlemen’s clubs of St James’s date back to the late 1600s, where the American Bar at the Savoy opened in 1893. The capital’s grand hotels have long served as places to dine, drink and socialise away from the streets and

At Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2027 show, some of London’s oldest specialist skills appeared in distinctly contemporary forms. Huntsman of Savile Row produced three bespoke menswear looks, each cut and made at its 11 Savile Row workrooms, while London-born master jeweller Shaun Leane created a sculptural harness by hand in recycled silver. The collaborations offered a

When watch enthusiasts think of Zenith and its iconic El Primero, they no doubt have in mind the brand’s legendary integrated chronographs. Yet, since its momentous arrival in 1969, the calibre has teased with its potential as a pure timekeeper. After all, the calibre has been defined by something fundamentally useful to timekeeping: the unrelenting

Fleet inspections protect drivers, preserve vehicle availability, and reveal maintenance issues before they disrupt dispatch. Paper forms and disconnected spreadsheets make these tasks hard to track, especially when vehicles operate across multiple locations. A digital inspection process gives technicians a consistent checklist, records defects with evidence, and routes corrective work to the right person. The

Runways have been flooded, converted into supermarkets, crossed by trains and staged against some of the world’s most recognisable landmarks. Yet spectacle alone rarely guarantees permanence. Perhaps, a clarification is required. An icon earns its status through endurance, influence and cultural memory; something can be iconic

What Makes a Champagne Gift Feel Thoughtful, Not Generic? Champagne has long been a way to mark milestones, express appreciation, and honor the people who matter. But the difference between a gift that resonates and one that feels routine often comes down to three things: the recipient’s taste, the occasion, and how the bottle is

After a crash, getting back to normal can be hard enough without feeling pressured to accept less than your injuries and losses deserve. In 2025, Missouri recorded 908 fatalities, down from 958 in 2024. The state also reported 103,960 crashes in 2024, with 40,302 people injured. These figures show why the financial impact of a

Some brands have enough novelties that selecting a few (or just the one) for periodicals like this becomes its own challenge. The editor told me he decided on the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Automatic Chronograph x Gulf purely on the merits of the bracelet, even though he has not yet seen it in the metal.

Personal development is one of the few investments that can continue generating value throughout every stage of life. Money can buy comfort, access, and experiences, but developing your knowledge, skills, health, judgment, and relationships increases your ability to create and appreciate them over time. For a luxury-minded audience, this distinction matters because genuine wealth extends

As the 2026 Formula 1 season races heats up the tarmac in Singapore, LUXUO floors the accelerator on a different kind of pursuit: the search for emotion in an increasingly technological car. There was a time when the appeal of a performance car was easy to understand. An engine came alive, a gearshift marked each

Roads are closed and floodlights take over Marina Bay while thousands gather across the city as Formula 1 (F1) returns for the Singapore Grand Prix. Since its debut in 2008 as F1’s first night race, the event has become one of

Engagement ring shopping in 2026 gives couples more flexibility than ever when it comes to diamond size, shape, setting, and overall design. Among the options available today, lab-created engagement rings have become a mainstream choice for couples looking for the familiar qualities of a diamond while having more flexibility in how they approach the ring.

In whisky making, it begins with choices made years before a bottle is opened. This shared philosophy sits at the centre of the second
