VIVOOD pool villa infinity pool

The Suite Life: VIVOOD Landscape Hotel

VIVOOD is a landscape hotel up in the mountains on Costa Blanca, Spain, a 30 minute drive from Benidorm. It’s not as intimate and paired back as Juvet in Norway, and not as luxurious and caregiving as Rosewood Mayakoba in…

Amass is a top-level restaurant in Copenhagen, with a strong focus on in-season and organic produce, even using greens from it’s own garden, but without the far-reaching experimental side that alienates and divides some guests to the most famous New…

La Guarida review

La Guarida is one of the older paladares in Havana, being established in 1996, and definitely the one leading the new wave of privately run hospitality establishments that shows what Cuba could be. Semi-rustic food and drinks, which are probably…
