1. Don Julio

   Argentina

   Don Julio brings Argentina’s parrilla tradition to a corner of Palermo Viejo. Owner Pablo Rivero’s family background in butchery and cattle breeding informs a restaurant built around carefully selected Hereford and Angus beef, with ageing and provenance central to the kitchen’s approach. The meat is displayed before cooking on a V-shaped grill above white quebracho charcoal. The grill channels fat away from the embers, controlling the smoke that reaches the meat. Argentine wines form the focus of the cellar, while the restaurant’s work with regenerative breeding and rational grazing extends its interest in beef back to the land.

2. Asador Etxebarri

   Spain

   Asador Etxebarri is chef Bittor Arginzoniz's restaurant in Axpe, in the Basque Country. Flame-grilled cooking defines the kitchen, with carefully controlled fire bringing out the character of meat, fish and other ingredients. A concise à la carte selection and a tasting menu provide two ways to explore this approach. Dishes associated with the restaurant include egg yolk with white truffle, a matured beef chop and reduced-milk ice cream served with beetroot juice. Service takes place at lunchtime, and the menu centres on meat and fish rather than offering a separate vegetarian or vegan tasting menu.

3. Locavore NXT

   Indonesia

   Locavore NXT in Lodtunduh, Ubud takes the original Locavore restaurant’s commitment to Indonesian ingredients into a larger space for cooking, experimentation and collaboration. The full dining experience follows a set tasting menu, with a limited number of guests at each service. The project extends beyond the meal through programmes exploring the ingredients and environments behind it. Guided foraging experiences take guests into Bali’s jungles and farmland, while culinary gatherings bring visiting chefs together to explore the island. The changing menus and these activities make local sourcing a practical part of the restaurant’s work, connecting the dining room with the landscape from which its ingredients come.

4. Guy Savoy

   France

   At the Monnaie de Paris on Quai de Conti, Guy Savoy places French gastronomy within a landmark setting beside the Seine. Dining rooms look towards the river and the Institut de France, while the table reflects the chef’s long interest in craft and presentation. Signature dishes remain part of the experience, including artichoke soup enriched with black truffle and served with mushroom brioche. Seasonal fish, poultry and vegetables join those familiar touchstones across the à la carte and tasting menus. Lunch also offers a shorter route through the kitchen’s repertoire. A dessert trolley of ice creams, sorbets and small sweets extends the sense of occasion into the final course.

5. Delta

   Athens, Greece

   Delta is a restaurant in Athens, Greece.

6. Jumeirah Burj Al Arab

   Dubai, United Arab Emirates

   Set on an island off Dubai's Jumeirah coastline, Jumeirah Burj Al Arab gives the city's maritime heritage an architectural expression. Its sail-shaped profile rises above the Arabian Gulf, approached by a causeway that separates the hotel from the beachfront. The building's exterior has become part of Dubai's visual identity, while its interiors pursue a deliberately theatrical interpretation of a grand hotel. Gold leaf, Statuario marble and Swarovski crystal are central to that character. Strong colours and intricate decorative work create a succession of richly detailed spaces, with the height of the atrium reinforcing the contrast between the narrow island setting and the building's vertical scale. Its established accommodation concept centres on suites, with separate spaces for living and sleeping overlooking the water or coastline. The hotel is temporarily closed for restoration. Its significance lies as much in its design as in its seaside position. A restoration programme led by interior architect Tristan Auer is intended to preserve the sail silhouette, craftsmanship and much of the bold décor, while refining layouts and introducing contemporary comforts. That approach places continuity at the centre of the property's next chapter, retaining the visual language that distinguishes it within Dubai.

7. Pyramids of Giza

   Giza, Egypt

   The Pyramids of Giza rise from a limestone plateau on the edge of the city, where the scale of ancient royal ambition remains immediately visible. The three principal pyramids were built for Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty. Together with the Great Sphinx, they form the most recognisable features of a much larger funerary landscape. A visit becomes richer when attention moves beyond the pyramids' silhouettes. Smaller queens' pyramids, mastaba tombs, temple remains and causeways reveal how these complexes functioned. The monuments were connected to rituals intended to sustain the dead king, with offerings and worship taking place in buildings around the principal tomb. Looking across the plateau helps restore that relationship between individual structures. The open setting allows visitors to appreciate both the geometry of the pyramids and their relationship to the surrounding desert. General admission covers the archaeological area, while selected pyramid interiors and tombs require separate tickets. Choosing these additions in advance makes it easier to shape a visit around architecture, funerary history or the wider landscape. The site is approached as an extensive archaeological ensemble, with time to explore beyond its most familiar viewpoints.

8. JAN

   Munich, Germany

   JAN is a restaurant in Munich, Germany.

9. Belcanto

   Portugal

   Belcanto is José Avillez’s contemporary Portuguese restaurant in Lisbon’s historic Chiado neighbourhood. Its cooking revisits the country’s culinary traditions through ingredients from different regions, with a tasting menu that traces the restaurant’s development and an à la carte alternative. The à la carte meal begins with small bites and ends with petits fours, framing a choice of starters, a main course and dessert. Wine is another substantial part of the experience: the cellar spans more than 350 references, with Portuguese bottles accounting for around four-fifths of the selection. International wines, Port and Madeira broaden the choices, within a sophisticated dining room that reflects Belcanto’s historic Lisbon setting.

10. Capella Bangkok

    Bangkok, Thailand

    Capella Bangkok brings a residential scale to the banks of the Chao Phraya, with a low-rise building oriented towards the movement of the river. Its address on Charoenkrung Road places the hotel within an established part of the city, while the waterfront setting creates a sense of space around the rooms and public areas. River views are a defining feature throughout the accommodation. Rooms have generous windows and outdoor living areas, and suites add separate sitting rooms and broad balconies. The villas offer another degree of privacy, with gardens, living and dining spaces, and outdoor plunge pools beside the river. Contemporary interiors keep attention on the changing light and the boats passing outside, making time in the room part of the Bangkok experience. Dining ranges from Thai family recipes at Phra Nakhon to Riviera-inspired cooking at Côte by Mauro Colagreco. Stella provides cocktails, while the Tea Lounge looks towards the water and a lily pond. Auriga Wellness adds space for treatments and relaxation. Together, these facilities suit travellers who want to combine the activity of the capital with an unhurried base beside its principal river.

11. Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

    Buccament Bay, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

    Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines occupies a sheltered cove at Buccament Bay, where forested slopes and a river give the beachfront a particularly green setting. The resort is designed for adults, with accommodation ranging from conventional rooms to beachfront villas and two storey overwater villas. Some suites include a separate fitness room, while the overwater accommodation adds decks positioned directly above the sea. The all inclusive approach covers meals, snacks and a broad selection of drinks, alongside a substantial programme of land and water activities. Guests can take out kayaks or paddleboards, join snorkelling excursions or spend time around the pools. Scuba diving is included for certified divers, making the resort a useful base for travellers who want to explore below the water as well as along the beach. Dining offers several different settings, allowing a relaxed lunch to give way to a more considered evening meal. The landscape remains part of the experience, with the cove and surrounding vegetation providing a sense of enclosure. Airport transfers are included, while spa treatments and independently chosen island excursions can be arranged separately. It is a resort suited to couples seeking both privacy and an active holiday.

12. Osteria Francescana

    Modena

    Osteria Francescana treats cooking as a conversation between Italian traditions, contemporary culture and art at its Via Stella address in Modena. The tasting menu draws inspiration from artists and the kitchen's own history, with a sequence that changes as ideas develop. The current Ho Fame! Ho Fame! menu references a ceramic work by Vincenzo Cabiati. Alongside the tasting experience, à la carte dishes include five ages of Parmigiano Reggiano in different textures and temperatures, Modenese tortellini in Parmesan sauce and the playful broken lemon tart. Wine pairings accompany the menu. Meals usually take around three hours, allowing time for the food's references and contrasts to unfold. Dietary needs can be discussed in advance, and the tasting menu is served to the whole table.

13. I Masanielli – Francesco Martucci

    Caserta, Italy

    I Masanielli – Francesco Martucci is a restaurant in Caserta, Italy.

14. Etihad Ballroom at Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental

    Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

    Within Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental on Abu Dhabi’s West Corniche, the Etihad Ballroom brings the hotel’s palatial architectural language to a substantial indoor event space. Marble details, gold accents and three Swarovski crystal chandeliers establish a formal setting for weddings, gala dinners and other private occasions. The surrounding palace, gardens and waterfront give an arrival here a distinctly Abu Dhabi context. The ballroom covers 2,183 square metres and can be divided into three smaller spaces. That flexibility is useful when an event needs separate areas or a more contained atmosphere than the full hall provides. Its combination of Arabian decorative references and contemporary event planning allows organisers to shape the room around a seated celebration, a reception or a programme with several parts. For couples considering a destination wedding, the appeal extends beyond the room itself. Accommodation, dining and leisure facilities are available within the same property, allowing a celebration to become a longer shared stay. The scale of the ballroom remains its defining characteristic, while the ability to subdivide it makes a discussion of layout, guest numbers and individual event requirements an essential part of planning.

15. The French Laundry

    California

    The French Laundry in Yountville, California, began as Thomas Keller’s long-held project to create a destination for fine French cooking in the Napa Valley. He came across a rustic two-storey stone cottage in the early 1990s, and the courtyard and compact scale of the building helped set the tone for a restaurant that feels carefully rooted in its setting rather than grandly imposed upon it. The building itself carries an unusual history. Constructed in 1900 from river rock and timbers as a saloon, it later became a residence and then, in the 1920s, a French steam laundry; it was converted into a restaurant in 1978 before Keller bought it in 1994. That layered past gives the name real context, and the preserved cottage form suggests a dining experience shaped by memory as much as by modern precision. The kitchen combines classic French techniques with a menu that changes daily. Ingredients and the progression of dishes are central to its approach, rather than a fixed selection that visitors can expect to encounter on every visit. The restaurant gives guest service equal importance, treating the way a meal is delivered as part of the experience. Its emphasis is on a complete fine-dining occasion, with food and hospitality considered together. A three-acre culinary garden across Washington Street supplies much of the restaurant’s produce, connecting the cooking directly to its Yountville surroundings. Keller also describes a kitchen supported by solar panels, on-site energy storage and a geothermal system used for water, refrigeration and heating. Those practical details add another dimension to the restaurant’s identity: behind the historic cottage and carefully composed food is an operation concerned with how ingredients are grown and how the kitchen itself functions.

16. Tuju

    São Paulo, Brazil

    Tuju is a restaurant in São Paulo, Brazil.

17. Qatar Airways Business Class and Qsuite

    Doha, Qatar

    Qatar Airways gives its business cabin a distinctive identity through Qsuite, a design that can adapt to solo travellers, couples and small groups. Individual suites have sliding doors, adjustable lighting and seats that become fully flat beds. Forward and rear facing positions create different perspectives within the cabin, while enclosed storage helps keep personal belongings close at hand. The central seating is particularly thoughtful. Movable panels allow neighbouring suites to become a shared space for conversation, work or meals, with selected combinations forming a double bed or a four person arrangement. Those travelling alone can instead choose a more secluded position. Bedding and a turndown service support overnight rest, while personal entertainment screens and power connections allow the space to work equally well during waking hours. Dining draws on the airline's international network, with destination inspired dishes and a selection of drinks served at the seat. Qsuite operates on selected flights and is one of several Qatar Airways business cabin configurations. Travellers seeking its doors or particular shared layouts should check the advertised product and seat map for their flight, recognising that operational aircraft changes can affect the cabin provided.

18. The Fat Duck

    United Kingdom

    The Fat Duck turns a meal in Bray into an exploration of memory, sensation and culinary invention. Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant on the village High Street presents menus as experiences, with food, narrative and surprise moving together. The Journey includes dishes such as a nitro-poached aperitif, Hot & Iced Tea, Bacon & Egg Cereal and Sound of the Sea. Those names indicate how the kitchen uses familiar ideas as a starting point for unexpected flavours, textures and presentation. The Mindful Experience offers smaller versions of the dishes, encouraging closer attention to aromas and individual mouthfuls. Topsy-Turvy reverses the usual progression, while The Top Seat gives a solo diner a place in the kitchen to watch and speak with the chefs. Menus change, including seasonal experiences, so the precise sequence varies. The enduring character is a meal that asks diners to engage their imagination as actively as their appetite.

19. Da Vittorio

    Brusaporto, Italy

    Da Vittorio brings the Cerea family’s approach to Italian hospitality to a country estate in Brusaporto, outside Bergamo. Gardens, paths and small lakes establish a leisurely setting before guests reach the restaurant. Its position in the Lombard countryside gives the experience a sense of retreat, while the family’s long involvement remains central to both the kitchen and the welcome. The cooking combines regional traditions with a broad interest in exceptional seasonal produce. Seafood has an important place, alongside meat, game, vegetables and the mushrooms and truffles associated with the changing year. Tasting menus and an à la carte selection provide different routes through this repertoire. Careful sourcing is part of the restaurant’s identity, with ingredients drawn from specialist producers across Italy rather than from a single narrow area. Pastry receives sustained attention, making the final stages of a meal a substantial part of the experience. The wine cellar extends the same interest in provenance, with staff helping to connect bottles to the food. Dining here suits an unhurried itinerary, whether as a destination meal from Bergamo or as part of a longer stay on the estate.

20. Sushi Saito

    Tokyo, Japan

    Sushi Saito is a restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.

21. Grace Bay Beach

    Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

    Grace Bay Beach follows the north coast of Providenciales, with a broad ribbon of pale sand and water that changes from translucent turquoise to a deeper offshore blue. An outer barrier reef helps shelter the bay from Atlantic swell, while the open shoreline creates space for long walks. The named beach extends for a little over three miles, linking into neighbouring stretches of coast at either end. Much of Providenciales' resort life gathers here, so restaurants, beach services and accommodation are close at hand. The beach remains the main attraction, with swimming, paddleboarding and boat excursions offering different ways to experience the bay. Snorkelling trips usually head towards reef sites farther offshore or nearby, as the central sandy swimming area is not itself a coral garden. Grace Bay forms part of Princess Alexandra National Park, placing its familiar resort landscape within a wider protected coastal setting. Early walks reveal a quieter side before beach activity increases, while later in the day the changing light provides a different character. Conditions still vary with wind and weather, but the combination of accessible services, open sand and expansive water makes it an unusually versatile beach destination.

22. Yod Abyssinia

    Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

    Yod Abyssinia is a restaurant in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

23. Musée du Louvre

    Paris, France

    The Musée du Louvre occupies a former royal palace beside the Seine, with galleries that reveal both the history of art and the changing ambitions of the building itself. The glass pyramid provides a contemporary entrance to a complex of courtyards, ceremonial rooms and long exhibition spaces. A visit can move from the remains of a medieval fortress to richly decorated state apartments before reaching the collections. Those collections range across ancient civilisations, sculpture, decorative arts and European painting. Familiar works such as the Mona Lisa and the Winged Victory of Samothrace share the museum with quieter galleries where individual objects can be considered at length. The scale makes a focused route useful, whether the interest is Egyptian antiquities, Islamic art or a particular school of painting. The palace setting is part of the attraction, with staircases, ceilings and views that punctuate the route through the galleries. Visitor trails and interpretation help make the collection more manageable, while the Tuileries and Carrousel gardens extend the experience outdoors. The Louvre rewards repeat visits, each shaped around a different period, medium or corner of the former palace.

24. Double Chicken Please

    New York, United States

    Double Chicken Please approaches cocktails through the shared language of food and design. On Allen Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the bar houses two complementary experiences: Free Range and The Coop. Familiar flavours are taken apart and reassembled, giving drinks an identity that draws as much from a meal as from a conventional cocktail recipe. Free Range introduces a playful, interactive menu alongside shareable dishes. The Coop has a more composed setting with mid-century décor and cocktails organised around culinary ideas. Cold Pizza, for example, brings together tequila, Parmigiano Reggiano, tomato, basil and burnt toast, while Mango Sticky Rice explores rum, mango, tea and coconut. The names offer an accessible starting point for combinations that become more intricate in the glass. Food remains part of the visit, with a full menu in The Coop and dishes intended for sharing at Free Range. Choosing between the two concepts helps shape the evening, whether the priority is interactive discovery or a closer look at cocktails inspired by recognisable dishes. Across both spaces, the connection between flavour, presentation and design gives the bar its particular character.

25. Gulfstream G700

    Savannah, United States

    The Gulfstream G700 approaches long journeys through a sequence of living spaces that can accommodate different rhythms on board. Its cabin can be arranged with up to five areas, allowing a meeting, a meal and a period of rest to occupy distinct parts of the aircraft. Twenty oval windows bring daylight across the interior and give passengers a broad view of the landscape below. The available layouts show how much the experience depends on the individual aircraft. Seating groups can form conversational lounges or dining spaces, while beds and an optional grand suite provide privacy on overnight sectors. A shower is available within the grand suite configuration. The galley supports substantial meal preparation, and a separate crew area can help organise service during an extended flight. Fresh cabin air, adjustable lighting and accessible controls are central to the passenger environment. In the cockpit, Gulfstream's Symmetry flight deck combines touchscreens with active control sidesticks. For travellers, the G700's distinguishing quality is the scope to divide a long flight into several comfortable stages, with enough separation for companions to work, socialise or sleep at different times.

26. Toyo Eatery

    Philippines

    Toyo Eatery explores Filipino food at The Alley at Karrivin in Makati. Chef Jordy Navarra and his wife and business partner May build the restaurant around local ingredients, producers and familiar flavours, translating them into tasting menus. Among the kitchen's established ideas is Bahay Kubo, a vegetable dish inspired by a children's folk song. Three-cut pork barbecue reworks a familiar street-food skewer, while heritage ingredients such as asin tibuok salt connect the food with traditional artisans. A plant-based tasting menu provides another route through Filipino cooking. The focus extends to relationships with suppliers and the handling of food waste, including partnerships that turn kitchen scraps into compost. These practices link the restaurant's culinary approach with the communities and land supplying its ingredients.

27. Iliana Beach Club at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    Iliana brings a Greek coastal sensibility to the beachfront at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab in Dubai. The setting combines open-air dining, sea views and the resort's poolside landscape, with the sculptural outline of Burj Al Arab giving the horizon a distinctly local identity. It is a place to build a day around the water and a long lunch, with shaded dining areas providing a comfortable pause from the sun. The kitchen centres on Greek flavours, moving from dips and salads to seafood and dishes for sharing. Grilled octopus, courgette fritters and feta wrapped in crisp pastry sit alongside raw fish preparations and a market selection of seafood. Citrus, herbs, yoghurt and olive-led Mediterranean accents keep the menu closely connected to its seaside setting, while more substantial dishes broaden the options for an extended meal. The mood changes as daylight softens and the restaurant moves towards dinner. Its beachfront location makes the view an integral part of the experience, whether visiting for lunch with friends or a quieter evening meal. Pool access and rooftop arrangements should be checked when booking, as individual areas follow their own seasonal programme.

28. SHA Wellness Clinic

    Spain

    SHA Spain is a residential wellness destination at El Albir in Alicante, close to Altea and the Sierra Helada Natural Park. Its position above the Mediterranean gives the programmes a coastal setting, with accommodation designed for time spent within the property. The SHA method combines medical assessment, preventive-health work and a broader wellness routine. Stays are organised around individual programmes, so the experience is more structured than a conventional hotel break. Suites have been redesigned with rest in mind, including Grand Suites by Lázaro Rosa-Violán overlooking the sea and mountains. Residences offer a more independent layout, with selected categories adding private gardens or terraces. SHA suits travellers seeking accommodation integrated with a planned wellness stay, in a setting connected to the landscape of the Alicante coast.

29. The Chairman

    Hong Kong

    The Chairman is a Cantonese restaurant on Wellington Street in Central, Hong Kong. Its cooking follows traditional methods and aims to emphasise the original flavour of each ingredient. Local fishermen, condiment makers and food producers form part of its sourcing network, with seafood selected at Aberdeen Fish Market. The kitchen produces its own flavoured oils and uses a farm in Sheung Shui for preserved meats and pickles. Preparations described by the restaurant include razor clams with aged lemon and herbs, and baby pigeon smoked with Longjing tea and chrysanthemum. Fresh ingredients, carefully made sauces and relatively simple cooking underpin the menu's distinctive approach.

30. Dewakan

    Malaysia

    Dewakan serves a Malaysian tasting menu on level 48 of Naza Tower in Kuala Lumpur’s Platinum Park. Its name combines the Malay words for god and food, reflecting a kitchen focused on the country’s produce and the people behind it. Most ingredients are grown, planted or reared in Malaysia. Dinner progresses through a succession of dishes shaped by seasonal availability. Wine pairings and a non-alcoholic pairing provide different accompaniments to the tasting menu. Dietary requirements need to be discussed in advance, as adaptations require notice and remain at the kitchen’s discretion. The elevated city setting frames a meal whose principal interest lies in Malaysian ingredients.

31. Orfali Bros Bistro

    Dubai, UAE

    Orfali Bros Bistro is a popular Arabic restaurant located in Dubai, known for its delicious Middle Eastern cuisine and cozy ambiance. The restaurant offers a wide range of traditional Arabic dishes, including kebabs, mezze, grilled meats, and freshly baked bread. Whether you're craving hummus, falafel, shawarma, or a hearty lamb dish, Orfali Bros Bistro is sure to satisfy your taste buds with authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere and attentive service make it a great spot for enjoying a meal with family and friends.

32. Messe Frankfurt

    Frankfurt, Germany

    Messe Frankfurt brings large international exhibitions into the fabric of the city. Its exhibition grounds combine interconnected modern halls with the domed Festhalle, a historic building that gives the campus a recognisable architectural centre. The setting allows business visitors to move between a trade fair, city hotels and Frankfurt's restaurants without basing an entire trip around an isolated convention district. The halls offer different sizes and configurations, supported by meeting rooms, foyers and circulation routes designed for substantial visitor numbers. The Forum and Congress Center extend the choice of spaces for presentations, conferences and accompanying events. Exhibitions can occupy individual halls or spread across several buildings, creating very different experiences according to the subject and scale of the show. For visitors, checking the relevant entrance and hall before arrival makes the grounds easier to navigate. Public transport links connect the district with the wider city, while the skyline provides a constant reminder of Frankfurt's commercial character. Messe Frankfurt is particularly distinctive for this meeting of established trade fair infrastructure, historic event architecture and an urban setting that offers plenty beyond the exhibition floor.

33. Bora Bora

    Bora Bora, French Polynesia

    Bora Bora’s outline is unmistakably volcanic, with Mount Otemanu rising above a lagoon enclosed by reef and small, palm-covered islets. Part of the Society Islands in French Polynesia, it is a destination shaped as much by the water around the main island as by the land itself. The changing blues of the lagoon provide the setting for boat journeys, quiet beach time and stays on the surrounding motu. Matira Beach offers an accessible introduction to the shoreline, while guided lagoon trips open up coral gardens and sheltered places to snorkel. Kayaking and paddleboarding bring a slower perspective, with the mountain remaining a constant point of reference. Accommodation ranges from guesthouses on the main island to resorts with overwater bungalows, so the choice of base has a real effect on how a visit unfolds. Beyond the lagoon, village life, ancient marae and local crafts connect a stay with Polynesian culture. Meals might include poisson cru, prepared with fish, lime and coconut milk. Boat transfers are part of daily life for visitors staying on a motu, making it useful to plan time on the main island as well as at the resort.

34. Presidential Suite at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris

    Paris, France

    The Presidential Suites at Four Seasons Hotel George V interpret a Parisian residence through generous rooms, traditional decorative detail and views towards the hotel's marble courtyard or Avenue George V. Large bay windows bring natural light into interiors furnished with French School paintings, crystal chandeliers and carefully arranged flowers. The setting places a substantial private retreat within the streets of the city's Golden Triangle. The suite's approximately 200 square metres allow living, dining and sleeping to take on separate roles. Configurations vary, with connecting arrangements available for guests travelling together. Fabric-covered walls and objets d'art give the rooms a collected character, while the marble and Baccarat crystal bathrooms add rain showers and distinctive bathing facilities. Some layouts include a particularly large living room or a more extensive office. A dedicated personal attendant and the hotel's wider services support longer stays, private meals and small gatherings. The accommodation is designed to be enjoyed in its own right, with enough space to pause between visits to galleries, shops and restaurants nearby. Its appeal lies in the combination of residential scale and a richly detailed hotel setting, with the courtyard and avenue providing two different perspectives on Paris.

35. One&Only Aesthesis

    Glyfada, Greece

    One&Only Aesthesis occupies a stretch of the Athenian Riviera in Glyfada, where wooded grounds meet the sea within reach of central Athens. The resort draws on the coast's mid-century holiday architecture, using low buildings, stone and generous outdoor spaces to create a relaxed relationship with the shoreline. Its setting allows a stay to move between beach days and the cultural life of the capital. Accommodation ranges from centrally positioned rooms to bungalows, suites and villas with more extensive outdoor living. Private pools feature in many categories, while gardens, terraces and seafront positions give each a different connection to the landscape. The distinction matters when choosing a stay: some spaces offer direct coastal outlooks, while others emphasise seclusion among the grounds. Dining includes Mediterranean cooking at ORA by Ettore Botrini and Peruvian influences at Manko, which also brings a beach-club atmosphere to the resort. The Guerlain Spa, swimming pools and sporting facilities provide options for quieter days on site. Glyfada's shops and restaurants add another layer nearby, making Aesthesis a coastal base with an urban dimension as well as a place to settle beside the Aegean.

36. MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson)

    United States

    Jimmy Donaldson, known professionally as MrBeast, creates filmed challenges, elaborate competitions and large-scale entertainment for digital audiences. His work centres on a clear premise, a group of participants and a sequence of escalating decisions, with editing that keeps the mechanics of each challenge easy to follow. The resulting videos combine game-show structure with the direct presentation of a creator speaking to his audience. That approach also informs Beast Games, his competition series for Prime Video. Across these formats, purpose-built sets, physical tasks and cash prizes provide the framework, while contestants’ reactions and choices shape the story. His productions are useful examples of how an online video concept can develop into a longer programme without losing its recognisable visual language or emphasis on participation. A separate strand of his public work is Beast Philanthropy, the charitable organisation he founded. Its videos document projects undertaken with communities and local partners, connecting online storytelling with practical aid. Taken together, the entertainment and charitable channels show the breadth of Donaldson’s professional output, from tightly constructed spectacles to filmed accounts of work beyond the studio.

37. Den

    Japan

    DEN is a restaurant in Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo, identified on its official site as DEN, with the entrance on Gaiennishi-dori Street at Architect House Hall JIA. The operator’s pages confirm that this is the Tokyo restaurant itself rather than a generic listing. The venue keeps a limited evening service, with opening hours shown as 18:00 to 20:00 and Sunday listed as the regular holiday. The reservation line and booking information are published directly by the restaurant. The restaurant is led by owner-chef Zaiyu Hasegawa, whose note presents DEN as a place for cooking that is meant to be welcoming and satisfying to guests. The current format is omakase only, so diners are not choosing from an à la carte menu. The menu changes according to seasonal ingredients, which means the dishes vary from day to day and the experience is shaped by what the kitchen receives and selects for service. Reservations are taken by telephone only, with the English site stating bookings are accepted Monday to Saturday between 12:00 and 17:00. The restaurant does not take online reservations or bookings through third-party services, and parties are limited to up to four people. Guests are asked to mention allergies or intolerances at the time of booking, although the restaurant cannot guarantee that every request can be accommodated. The restaurant’s published policies also set clear boundaries around service changes, with same-day cancellations or reductions in diner numbers charged at the full pre-fixed price. Taken together, the official materials describe a compact Tokyo dining room built around advance booking, a fixed evening sitting and a changing seasonal menu. Its identity is strongly tied to direct communication with diners, with the kitchen’s approach defined by omakase service and the practical limits of a small reservation-led operation.

38. FYN

    South Africa

    FYN is a restaurant in Cape Town, South Africa, trading from the 5th floor of Speaker’s Corner at 37 Parliament Street in the city centre. The restaurant presents itself as a modern African dining room shaped by South African ingredients and a Japanese culinary philosophy, with a menu built around seasonality and restraint rather than a fixed à la carte format. Its current online menus show lunch and dinner seatings, with the option of experience-style dining and separate plant-based and pescatarian menus. The kitchen’s food language draws on the Cape and broader South African landscape: dishes reference Cape Peninsula tuna, kingklip, langoustine, springbok, ostrich, lamb, kelp, abalone and indigenous botanicals such as buchu, Cape mountain sage and kapokbos. The official site also notes that FYN can accommodate most dietary needs with prior notice, while excluding severe or fatal allergies and allium or garlic allergies. Menus indicate a cashless payment policy and a discretionary service charge. The restaurant’s service is organised around tasting-menu experiences for lunch and dinner, with paired drinks available, including a South African terroir pairing and a cellar and rarities pairing. Current menus show a weekday-to-Saturday schedule, with lunch and dinner seatings at set times and some lunch formats available only for a limited period. The site also states that guests may order the dinner experience at lunch if seated by 13:00, which reinforces the restaurant’s tightly managed pacing. FYN’s online identity emphasises a compact, elevated city-centre setting rather than a broad hotel-style operation. The restaurant describes its space as intentionally balanced between stillness and energy, and its team is led by chef-founder Peter Tempelhoff, culinary director Ashley Moss and sommelier and service director Jennifer Hugé. Together, the setting, menu structure and ingredient-led cooking create a precise, contemporary fine-dining experience anchored in Cape Town’s urban and coastal character.

39. Royal Albert Hall

    London, United Kingdom

    Royal Albert Hall stands on Kensington Gore, where its elliptical form, terracotta exterior and domed roof give it an unmistakable presence. Opened in 1871, the hall remains a working performance venue with a programme that extends well beyond classical music. Concerts, film screenings with live orchestras, comedy and other events bring different audiences into the same richly layered interior. The auditorium's tiers, boxes and central arena create a distinctive relationship between performers and audience. The atmosphere changes with the production, from the concentrated listening of an orchestral concert to the collective energy of a large popular-music performance. The BBC Proms is a familiar part of its identity, but the year-round calendar offers many other ways to experience the building. Guided tours provide an alternative for visitors who cannot attend a performance, introducing the hall's architecture and history. Restaurants and bars allow a meal or drink to become part of an evening, while the nearby museums and Kensington Gardens make the area rewarding earlier in the day. A visit is most memorable when the event and setting are considered together, giving time to appreciate the building before taking a seat.

40. Sorn

    Thailand

    Sorn explores the cooking of southern Thailand from a restored house on Bangkok’s Sukhumvit 26. Chef Supaksorn ‘Ice’ Jongsiri draws on his upbringing in Nakhon Si Thammarat and on research across the south’s 14 provinces, working with farmers, fishermen and home cooks to trace ingredients and techniques back to their sources. Traditional methods remain central to the kitchen. Charcoal cooking, clay pots and stone grinding give the food its foundations, while chilli pastes are worked in a mortar. Seasonal produce from small southern communities helps determine the progression of the meal. The house extends those references beyond the plate. Natural textures, woven objects and antique utensils sit alongside Thai art and pieces from the chef’s collection. The design takes inspiration from a southern forest, giving the restaurant a setting tied to the region it studies. A substantial wine cellar provides another dimension. Selections are considered against spice, acidity and smoke, helping diners follow the menu’s changing intensity from one course to the next.

41. SkyPark Infinity Pool at Marina Bay Sands

    Singapore, Singapore

    The SkyPark Infinity Pool runs along the top of Marina Bay Sands, placing swimmers on Level 57 above central Singapore. Its long vanishing edge aligns water with the city skyline, creating a perspective that changes between daylight and the illuminated buildings after dark. The pool is part of the hotel's elevated SkyPark, where planting and open terraces soften the scale of the three towers below. Stretching for 150 metres, the pool offers room for swimming as well as lingering at the edge. Loungers and shaded areas support a slower visit, with the panorama remaining the central attraction. From the water, the dense arrangement of towers around Marina Bay becomes easier to read, while the height introduces a different sense of the city's coastal geography. Access is reserved for registered hotel guests, so this experience forms part of an overnight stay at Marina Bay Sands. It can be combined with time in the hotel's restaurants, shops and wider waterfront complex, though the pool has its own distinct appeal. Early and later visits reveal different light and atmosphere, making it a place guests may return to several times during a stay.

42. Pujol

    Mexico

    Enrique Olvera's Pujol explores Mexican ingredients and culinary traditions from its address in Mexico City's Polanco district. The restaurant offers two distinct experiences: a seasonal tasting menu in the dining room and a taco omakase that gives corn and its preparations a central role. Mole madre is a defining course. The sauce matures over years and is served alongside a freshly made mole, drawing attention to the changes that time brings to flavour. Through this combination of preservation, seasonality and contemporary technique, the kitchen gives familiar Mexican food a different expression while keeping its regional roots in view.

43. Great Barrier Reef

    Queensland, Australia

    The Great Barrier Reef extends along Queensland's tropical coast, offering a wide range of experiences rather than a single dive site. Coral gardens, reef walls, islands and open-water habitats create markedly different underwater settings, with marine life and conditions changing across the region. The scale of the reef makes the choice of departure point and itinerary an important part of planning a visit. Day boats provide access from coastal towns, while island stays and liveaboard trips allow a more sustained focus on the water. Divers can explore reef structure and fish life, and many operators also cater for snorkellers or travellers taking an introductory experience. Guided interpretation adds context, helping visitors understand the relationships between corals, marine animals and the wider environment. A visit is most rewarding when the programme matches individual experience and interests. Some travellers will prefer a comfortable day trip with time above and below the surface; others may seek several days exploring different reefs. Weather, visibility and local conditions influence what is possible, while marine park rules guide responsible access. The destination's lasting appeal lies in its variety, from small details among the corals to the broad seascapes visible from a boat.

44. Erth Restaurant

    Abu Dhabi, UAE

    Erth Restaurant is a restaurant in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

45. White Rabbit

    Moscow, Russia

    White Rabbit is a restaurant in Moscow, Russia.

46. Verbier

    Swiss Alps

    Verbier is a mountain resort in Val de Bagnes, forming a central part of Switzerland’s 4 Vallées ski area. Winter visits revolve around the slopes and the destination’s established freeride culture, with a town that supports the sport through restaurants and accommodation. Summer changes the use of the same landscape. Hiking trails, mountain-bike routes and the Bike Park offer different ways into the hills, while golf and family activities broaden the options. Music festivals and an active arts scene add reasons to visit beyond outdoor sport. Food ranges from regional traditions such as raclette to international cooking. Verbier therefore works across the seasons, with mountain activities at its centre and a developed resort town providing the setting before and after time outdoors.

47. Silo

    London, UK

    Silo is a restaurant in First floor, Unit 7 Queens Yard, White Post Lane, E9 5EN, in London’s Hackney Wick district. The business presents itself as the world’s first zero waste restaurant, and its current official website places it in partnership with CRATE Brewery at The White Building since October 2019. The site also describes the kitchen as working from a closed-loop approach shaped by natural farming and sustainability. The menu is built from ingredients in their whole form, with the restaurant saying it grinds its own flour from ancient wheat varieties, churns its own butter and rolls its own oats. It also highlights a root-to-leaf and nose-to-tail philosophy, using animal and vegetable produce as fully as possible, together with in-house fermentation to create garums and other flavour bases. That gives the food a strongly craft-led, contemporary character rather than a conventional brasserie style. On the practical side, Silo offers reservations for tables of up to eight in the main dining room, while walk-ins are welcomed when space allows. The official private-hire information says a separate private dining room is available for parties of up to fourteen guests, with booking enquiries handled directly by email. This suggests a compact, intimate dining room with a second space for smaller gatherings. The restaurant’s zero-waste identity extends beyond the plate into the room itself. Its official philosophy page explains that reusable deliveries, compostable residual waste, upcycled furniture and fittings, and materials such as mycelium, crushed wine bottles and recycled packaging are all part of the operating model. The result is a restaurant experience centred on sustainability, fermentation and careful use of ingredients, with the design reinforcing the same message throughout.

48. Tresind Studio at St Regis Gardens The Palm

    Dubai, UAE

49. Amanoi

    Vietnam

    Amanoi overlooks Vinh Hy Bay within the landscape of Nui Chua National Park. Curving roofs, latticed windows and natural materials link its pavilions and villas to Vietnamese design, with accommodation distributed between the wooded hills and the coast. Mountain Pavilions have timber sun decks looking towards the national park. Other villas introduce private pools, while larger residences combine separate living and dining pavilions with generous outdoor space. The resort's facilities move between different parts of the landscape: a clifftop pool, a lakeside Aman Spa and a beach club on the sandy shore. Dining likewise follows the setting, with Vietnamese flavours and international dishes served above the bay and beside the beach.

50. Regent Seven Seas Cruises

    Miami, United States

    Regent Seven Seas Cruises offers ocean voyages centred on suite accommodation, attentive service and a broad range of inclusions. Its itineraries connect established ports with smaller destinations, covering regional journeys as well as extended crossings and world voyages. The atmosphere is designed for travellers who value a comfortable base at sea and substantial time exploring ashore. Suites provide ocean views and living space, with layouts and additional services varying by ship and category. Restaurants include main dining rooms and speciality venues, allowing guests to change cuisine and setting during a voyage. Bars, lounges, theatre performances and enrichment activities shape life on board, while pools, fitness areas and spa facilities offer a quieter rhythm on sea days. Shore excursions are a central part of the proposition, with included options complemented by additional experiences and pre- or post-cruise land arrangements. Travellers can therefore approach a destination through guided visits or independent time, according to the sailing and their interests. The line is particularly suited to those who prefer many practical elements to be arranged within one booking, while retaining choices over dining, daily activity and the length or geographical scope of their journey.

51. SkyPark Infinity Pool at Marina Bay Sands

    Singapore, Singapore

    The SkyPark Infinity Pool stretches across the rooftop of Marina Bay Sands, placing swimmers fifty-seven storeys above Singapore. Its long, level edge creates the impression that the water continues towards the city's towers, while palms and loungers turn the surrounding deck into an outdoor living space. The skyline changes character through the day, from a sharply defined urban panorama to a field of lights after sunset. At 150 metres long, the pool offers room both to swim and to pause at the edge. Separate adult, family and children's sections give different groups their own areas, and heated outdoor Jacuzzis provide another place to linger. Poolside food and drinks make it possible to spend several hours here, with the elevated setting remaining the central attraction. Access is reserved for registered Marina Bay Sands hotel guests, who must present their room keycards. A ticket to the observation deck does not provide entry to the swimming pool. For those staying at the hotel, the experience adds a distinctive perspective on the city, combining an ordinary swim with a setting closely identified with Singapore's contemporary architecture.

52. Qatar Airways

    Doha, Qatar

    Qatar Airways connects its international network through Hamad International Airport in Doha, making the city both a destination and a meeting point between long-haul routes. The airline's identity combines a global schedule with a distinctly Qatari home base, and passengers can choose to continue directly through the hub or build a stopover into a longer journey. On board, the experience varies by aircraft and route. Qsuite, available on selected services, gives Business Class passengers enclosed personal space and flexible arrangements for travelling together. Other aircraft use different premium seating, while Economy Class combines meal service with entertainment options. Oryx One provides films, television, music and other content, and the dining programme draws on international influences. At Doha, eligible travellers can use the airline's lounges, while the wider airport provides shops, restaurants, art and the indoor Orchard garden. Privilege Club links flights with Avios rewards and status recognition across participating partners. The appeal of Qatar Airways lies in how these elements connect across a journey: an extensive network, a substantial transfer hub and a range of cabin experiences. Checking the scheduled aircraft remains useful when a particular seat or suite is central to the trip.

53. Bandon Dunes Golf Resort

    Oregon, United States

    Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is a golf lover’s paradise that features six distinct courses, each with its own character and challenge. The resort is located on the rugged Oregon coast, where the wind and weather shape the landscape and the game.

54. Maido

    Peru

    Maido in Miraflores brings Japanese techniques together with Peruvian ingredients through Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura's Nikkei cooking. Opened in 2009, the restaurant increasingly draws on Amazonian produce and traditions as well as the coast. Its name is a Japanese greeting, echoed by the team as guests arrive. The Maido Experience follows 12 courses, with pairings that combine wine and sake or use native Peruvian fruits and teas without alcohol. Its documented repertoire includes sea snails with yellow-chilli foam, squid ramen with Amazonian chorizo and preparations of paiche. Maido Hub, nearby, opens the kitchen's research space to private group experiences centred on live cooking.

55. Mirazur

    Menton

    Mauro Colagreco's Mirazur sits above the Mediterranean in Menton, close to the Italian border. The dining room looks across the Bay of Garavan towards the old town, placing the coast in view while the kitchen takes its direction from five hectares of gardens. A nine-sequence surprise menu responds to the day's harvest and deliveries of fish and meat. Four recurring themes, Roots, Leaves, Flowers and Fruits, follow the restaurant's biodynamic calendar, giving different parts of the plant a central role in the meal. The main dining room has restrained materials and plant arrangements, while La Mesa seats up to eight guests within the kitchen, close to the chefs at work. A sheltered patio offers another space to extend the occasion outdoors.

56. La Tour d’Argent

    Paris, France

    La Tour d’Argent is a restaurant in Paris’s 5th arrondissement, at 15 Quai de la Tournelle, set on the sixth floor of the historic tower above the Seine. Its dining room faces the river and takes in views of Notre-Dame and Île Saint-Louis, placing the meal within one of the city’s most recognisable Left Bank settings. The official house presents the restaurant as part of a broader property, yet the dining room remains a clearly defined destination in its own right. The kitchen is led by Chef Yannick Franques, who reinterprets emblematic house recipes in a contemporary style while keeping them linked to the restaurant’s heritage. That approach gives the menu a balance of continuity and renewal, with seasonal dishes sitting alongside established signatures. The dining room also has an open kitchen, so service and preparation are visible from the room and become part of the overall atmosphere without breaking the formality of the setting. Dining is arranged as a composed restaurant experience rather than a casual stop, with tasting sequences offered for the whole table. The menu includes dishes such as foie gras, caviar, morilles, lobster Thermidor and duck preparations, suggesting a kitchen that works through classical French references with careful structure. The house also asks gentlemen to wear a jacket at lunch and dinner, which reinforces the restaurant’s polished code of service and dress. Taken together, the location, cooking and service create a restaurant that feels ceremonial but current. The elevated position above the river gives each table a strong sense of place, while the open kitchen and Chef Franques’s reinterpretations keep the experience anchored in present-day cooking. It is a Paris dining room defined by history, yet one that presents that history through exacting service, a formal atmosphere and a view that remains central to the meal.

57. Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre

    Singapore, Singapore

    Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre places business events within the dense urban fabric of Marina Centre. Connected to the wider Suntec City development, it combines meeting and exhibition facilities with immediate access to shops, restaurants and nearby hotels. Its central location is particularly useful for delegates who want to move between a conference programme and the city without lengthy transfers. The venue offers configurable meeting rooms, exhibition halls and larger spaces for conventions, presentations and corporate functions. Level Three contains a substantial collection of meeting rooms that can be adapted for different group sizes, while larger halls accommodate trade fairs and public exhibitions. Digital screens, audiovisual support and on-site event services help organisers move between plenary sessions, demonstrations and smaller discussions. The surrounding district adds practical value. Restaurants range from quick lunches to more substantial evening meals, while rail connections and pedestrian routes make other parts of Singapore accessible. Arts venues and the waterfront are nearby for time outside the programme. Suntec's appeal lies in this combination of flexible event infrastructure and an established mixed-use neighbourhood, making it suitable for both tightly scheduled business visits and conferences with a broader social itinerary.

58. Old Course at St Andrews

    St Andrews, United Kingdom

    The Old Course begins and ends beside the streets of St Andrews, with the town's stone buildings forming an unusually intimate backdrop to championship golf. Its broad opening fairway, shared greens and coastal turf preserve a form of links golf shaped over generations. The sea, weather and contours are as important to the experience as the course's long association with The Open. Much of the interest lies in choosing angles. Expansive putting surfaces can leave a demanding second putt, while small, deep bunkers influence shots from well beyond their immediate surroundings. The closing stretch brings the Road Hole and the Swilcan Bridge, familiar landmarks that remain part of a working public course. Firm conditions invite players to use the ground as well as the air. Access requires planning through St Andrews Links, which publishes reservation options, a ballot and information for individual golfers. Handicap and playing requirements should be checked before travelling. Caddie services and practice facilities support a round, while the town's restaurants and West Sands make it easy to extend the visit beyond golf.

59. La Pergola at Rome Cavalieri

    Rome, Italy

    La Pergola occupies an elevated setting at Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel, with wide views across the city. The restaurant gives a meal a different perspective on Rome, bringing the skyline into the dining experience while creating a sense of distance from the streets below. Its interior combines a formal approach to hospitality with a strong emphasis on the surrounding panorama. Heinz Beck’s cooking draws on Italian and Mediterranean ingredients, using contemporary techniques to explore flavour, balance and texture. Tasting menus provide a structured route through the kitchen’s work, while an à la carte selection allows guests to make a more individual choice. The repertoire develops with the seasons, making the relationship between produce and preparation more important than any fixed list of dishes. The wine cellar is a substantial part of the restaurant’s identity, with the service team guiding selections to accompany the food. A visit is well suited to a dedicated evening rather than a hurried stop between sights. For travellers staying elsewhere in Rome, the setting also offers a reason to experience the hotel itself, with the restaurant’s city views forming a memorable part of the occasion.

60. The Gleneagles Hotel

    Auchterarder, United Kingdom

    Gleneagles spreads across a Perthshire estate at the foot of the Ochil Hills, pairing a substantial country hotel with a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Its rooms and suites use individual decoration, layered fabrics and generous furniture to create a residential atmosphere. The scale of the grounds allows a golfing stay to unfold alongside walks, riding and time spent in the gardens. Three championship courses provide the core golfing choice: the King's, Queen's and PGA Centenary. Their differing landscapes and designs give repeat rounds variety, while the academy and practice facilities support lessons or preparation before play. The clubhouse creates a natural meeting point, with dining options that suit an early start, a relaxed lunch or conversation after a round. Beyond golf, the hotel has a spa, swimming facilities and a broad collection of restaurants and bars. More formal dining can be balanced with casual meals, afternoon tea or a quiet drink. Families and non-playing companions have enough to build their own days, making Gleneagles particularly useful when a group shares an interest in the countryside but not necessarily the same appetite for golf.

61. Quintonil

    Mexico

    Quintonil is the Mexico City restaurant of Jorge Vallejo and Alejandra Flores, who opened it in 2012. At its Polanco address, the tasting menu explores Mexican ingredients and traditional techniques through Vallejo's contemporary approach to the country's biodiversity. Recent courses have included Baja California steelhead trout with chicatana ant adobo, an ayocote bean tamal with young corn and plantain foam, and cactus paddle sorbet. Mexican cornbread with nixtamal rompope continues the theme into dessert. Mexican wine and non-alcoholic pairings are available, and the menu can be adapted for vegan, vegetarian or pescatarian diets when arranged in advance.

62. Marina Bay Sands

    Singapore, Singapore

    Marina Bay Sands is a prominent part of Singapore’s waterfront, with three hotel towers linked by the elevated SkyPark. The architecture gives the resort a recognisable outline, while its position beside Marina Bay connects guests with the city’s central waterfront. Shopping, dining, exhibitions and entertainment are gathered within an extensive development around the hotel. Rooms and suites offer different views and amounts of space, with higher categories adding more generous living and dining areas. The rooftop infinity pool, reserved for hotel guests, is a defining feature of a stay, placing the skyline and the bay within the same panorama. Restaurants and bars at different levels provide other ways to experience the architecture and outlook. The casino forms part of a wider programme that includes The Shoppes and ArtScience Museum, allowing a visit to move between gaming, cultural attractions and time by the water. Dining ranges from informal meals to restaurants associated with internationally established chefs. Marina Bay Sands suits travellers who want a city resort with substantial facilities and a memorable architectural setting, while keeping much of central Singapore accessible.

63. Dubai International Airport

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    Dubai International Airport is a major gateway to the city and a connecting point between long-haul routes. Its terminals bring together an international mix of airlines, shops and restaurants, with the scale of the operation especially apparent in the concourses used by Emirates. For visitors, the airport provides a first glimpse of Dubai's emphasis on transport, hospitality and retail. The experience extends beyond departure gates. Dining ranges from quick meals and coffee to seated restaurants, while shops cover travel essentials, gifts and luxury brands. Hotels, lounges and other rest options allow passengers with longer connections to break up their time at the airport. Access and charges vary by facility, ticket and membership, so the available options depend on the individual journey. Terminals 1 and 3 connect directly with the Dubai Metro's Red Line, while taxis, buses and car hire provide alternatives. The airport's digital maps help with the distances between services and gates. Its distinctive quality is the combination of a substantial global transfer operation and immediate access to a city built around international visitors. Allowing time for the correct terminal and any onward connection makes that scale easier to navigate.

64. Au Cheval

    Chicago, USA

    Au Cheval is a restaurant in Chicago, USA.

65. Round Hill Hotel and Villas

    Montego Bay, Jamaica

    Round Hill's private villas occupy a leafy hillside above the sea on Jamaica's north coast. Their individual architecture and gardens give the estate the atmosphere of a collection of homes, with the hotel's beach, dining and leisure facilities close at hand. Open living areas frame views of tropical foliage and the bay, while bedrooms provide a cooler retreat from the afternoon heat. Accommodation ranges from two to six bedrooms, making the villas particularly suited to families and friends travelling together. Classic Villas preserve the property's established Caribbean style; Signature Villas provide larger layouts and private pools. Most Classic Villas also have pools, although some are positioned near the main resort pool instead. Outdoor showers, terraces and generous bathrooms extend the sense of space beyond the bedrooms. Dedicated staff prepare breakfast in the villa each morning and help organise dining, spa visits and activities. The Estate Villa adds two pools and several open-air gathering spaces for a larger party. As layouts and outlooks differ between houses, the appeal lies in choosing the right balance of shared living, privacy and access to the wider resort.

66. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

    Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

    Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque introduces Abu Dhabi through a combination of religious life, architecture and public cultural interpretation. White marble domes and minarets rise above a large courtyard, while reflective pools give the building a changing appearance as daylight fades. The scale is considerable, but individual details reward a closer look, from floral stone inlay to calligraphy and decorative glass. Inside, the main prayer hall brings together a hand-knotted carpet, chandeliers and richly worked columns. The varied craft traditions reflect the international collaboration behind the mosque's construction. Guided cultural tours explain these elements alongside the role of the building as an active place of worship, making the visit more informative than a simple circuit of its photographic viewpoints. The wider complex includes the Light & Peace Museum, a multimedia visitor guide and spaces for learning about Islamic culture. Souq Al Jami' provides cafés, shops and visitor facilities beneath the approach. Modest clothing and respect for worshippers are part of the experience, and access follows the mosque's visitor arrangements. Allowing time for the courtyard, prayer hall and interpretation gives a fuller understanding of this important civic landmark.

67. Explore the temples and waterways of Angkor, Cambodia

    World

68. Wynn Las Vegas

    Las Vegas, United States

    Wynn Las Vegas combines a curved bronze tower with gardens, water features and richly decorated interiors on the Las Vegas Strip. The property forms a connected resort with neighbouring Encore, bringing a substantial choice of restaurants, shops and entertainment into one setting. Its landscaping gives the arrival a different atmosphere from the busy boulevard immediately outside. Rooms and suites have large windows and generous living space, with different categories offering alternative views and levels of privacy. Pools, a spa and fitness facilities provide ways to spend time away from the public areas. Wynn Golf Club adds a landscaped course within the resort grounds, an unusual feature for a hotel in this part of the city. The casino includes table games and slot machines, while the surrounding restaurants and lounges make dining a significant part of a stay. Lake of Dreams uses water, light and performance to create an evening focal point, alongside the wider programme of shows and nightlife. Wynn suits visitors who want the range of a large casino resort with close attention to the design of both its indoor spaces and outdoor surroundings.

69. Atomix

    New York

    Atomix is Junghyun and Ellia Park's Korean tasting-menu restaurant in New York. Its name draws on an old Korean word for gift, reflecting the couple's intention to present the chef's cooking through Korean traditions and techniques. The signature experience takes place at a U-shaped counter facing the open kitchen, with reservations required. A separate tasting menu at the upstairs cocktail bar differs in its dishes, length and format, offering another route into the kitchen's seasonal work. The wine list combines established and more experimental producers. Dietary flexibility at the chef's counter is limited, including restrictions on vegetarian, vegan and several allergy-related requests.

70. Alchemist

    Denmark

    Alchemist is a restaurant in Refshalevej, Copenhagen, Denmark, operating from Refshalevej 173C, 1432 Copenhagen. The restaurant’s own materials identify chef Rasmus Munk as head chef and describe the venue as a former welding hall at the B&W shipyard, later used by the Danish Royal Theatre for backdrops and sets, which gives the dining room an industrial setting with a strong sense of place. The restaurant is built around a long-form tasting experience rather than an à la carte format. Its official materials say the experience can comprise up to 50 impressions, combining edible courses with purely experiential elements, and is designed to unfold through a sequence of physical spaces during an evening of around four to six hours. Tickets are released in advance through its online booking system, with tables offered for parties of two, four and six. Food at Alchemist is presented through what the restaurant calls holistic cuisine, bringing together gastronomy, theatre, art, science, technology and design. The official experience page notes a full menu and several beverage pairings, including wine-focused and non-alcoholic options, while the reservation pages make clear that drinks are handled separately from the main ticket. The overall approach is staged and immersive rather than conventional restaurant service. The setting and service model suggest a highly controlled, tasting-led visit suited to guests seeking an extended gastronomic occasion. Alchemist also notes that it may not be ideal for business discussions or a first nervous date, reinforcing its character as a deliberately immersive and attention-demanding experience. The restaurant’s official communications and press materials are centred on this singular format rather than broader hospitality facilities or casual dining.

71. Blue Hill at Stone Barns

    New York, USA

    Blue Hill at Stone Barns is a restaurant in New York, USA.

72. Jumby Bay Island

    Jumby Bay Island, Antigua and Barbuda

    Jumby Bay Island gives a destination wedding the atmosphere of a shared island stay. Reached by boat from Antigua, the property has beaches, landscaped grounds and a variety of accommodation, allowing the celebration to unfold across several days. The sense of separation from the mainland is part of its character, with the sea remaining close to the social spaces. Ceremonies and receptions can use different settings, including the beach and the Estate House, whose historic architecture brings a more formal mood to an evening gathering. The events team assists with arrangements such as flowers, photography, entertainment and the wedding cake. Menus and the sequence of the celebration can be discussed around the chosen venue and the people attending. Cottages, villas and private estates offer different ways to accommodate guests, from couples staying independently to families sharing a house. Restaurants, watersports and wellness facilities provide options between organised events. The island works particularly well when time together matters as much as the ceremony, with room for a welcome meal, quieter conversations and days at the beach to become part of the occasion.

73. Emirates Skywards

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    Emirates Skywards connects flights on Emirates and flydubai with a wider network of travel and lifestyle rewards. Its appeal extends beyond a single journey: members can collect miles through eligible flights, hotel stays, car hire and other partners, then use the balance towards future travel or selected experiences. The programme is particularly relevant to travellers whose itineraries regularly pass through Dubai. Skywards Miles form the spending currency, while Tier Miles track progress through Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum membership. Redemption options include eligible reward flights and cabin upgrades, with Cash+Miles providing another way to apply a balance to a booking. Airline partnerships broaden the places where miles can be earned or spent, although eligibility and availability depend on the individual arrangement. Higher tiers add benefits such as priority services, baggage allowances and lounge access under the relevant conditions. The programme also includes a family feature that allows participating relatives to pool miles. Its practical value comes from how closely a member's normal travel and spending match the network, rather than from a single headline reward. Checking fare eligibility and comparing the total cash and miles cost helps turn a growing balance into a useful journey.

74. Le Bernardin

    New York

    Le Bernardin is a seafood restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, New York, at 155 West 51st Street, and its official website identifies the house as Le Bernardin by Eric Ripert. The site presents the New York branch with reservations, dining-room, lounge, wine and private-dining pages, confirming an active, formal restaurant rather than a casual neighbourhood operation. Its published contact details and branch-specific information establish the exact business and location. The restaurant’s own descriptions make seafood the centre of the experience, with a stated commitment to responsibly sourced fish and menus built around that focus. Lunch and dinner pages show a structured format, including tasting-style choices and lighter midday courses, while the lounge has its own offering. That arrangement suggests a carefully paced meal in which the sequence of dishes matters, rather than an open-ended all-day menu built for quick service. Menu pages illustrate the kitchen’s scope with oysters, tuna, hamachi, lobster, striped bass, halibut and other seasonal fish, and the house also notes that its cuisine and philosophy are supported by a professional wine programme. Aldo Sohm is named as wine director on the restaurant’s team page. The presence of wine service and cocktails, alongside a formal dining-room setting, points to a polished restaurant experience shaped around food, drink and precise service. Practical information further defines the atmosphere. The restaurant asks for business casual dress, recommends jackets and does not permit children under ten; strollers, high chairs and a children’s menu are not accommodated. These policies align with an adult dining room in central Manhattan, where the emphasis is on exacting seafood cookery, attentive service and a disciplined house style. The result is a highly specified restaurant identity rather than an informal or family-focused one.

75. Jumby Bay Island Private Estates

    Jumby Bay Island, Antigua and Barbuda

    Jumby Bay Island’s private estates offer a residential way to stay on a small island off Antigua. Reached by boat, the island has beaches, gardens and paths that encourage an unhurried pace. The houses occupy individual plots, with some opening directly towards the sand and others arranged around lawns, terraces and views of the sea. Each estate has its own architecture and bedroom configuration, so choosing the house is an important part of the experience. Pools, generous living and dining spaces, and landscaped grounds allow families or friends to spend time together without sharing every moment. Larger properties add features such as separate guest pavilions or sports facilities, while the individual listings set out exactly what each home includes. Dedicated household teams, including chefs and hosts, support private meals and the practical details of a stay. Guests also have access to the wider resort’s restaurants, beaches, wellness facilities and activities. This combination allows a holiday to move between the privacy of the house and island life beyond it, with space for several generations to settle into their own routines.

Inside, the atmosphere is refined yet intimate, with soft lighting, attentive service, and a menu that reimagines Jamaican cuisine at the highest level. Signature dishes include oxtail ravioli, peppered shrimp, and locally caught fish paired with inventive sides, all executed with international flair. The wine list is extensive, carefully curated to complement the bold, layered flavors of the menu. Guests dine either indoors or al fresco, surrounded by the manicured gardens of the Half Moon estate. More than just a restaurant, Sugar Mill is an experience that combines Jamaica’s rich history with the luxury of modern hospitality. Consistently ranked among the Caribbean’s top fine dining venues, it is the jewel of Montego Bay’s culinary scene.

80. Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som

    Al Ruwais, Qatar

    Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som occupies a quiet coastal setting near Al Ruwais in northern Qatar. Low buildings, open water and pale desert tones establish a restrained atmosphere, with the pace of a stay shaped around wellness activities and time outdoors. The resort draws on traditional Arabic and Islamic approaches to wellbeing, presented through its consultation-led programmes and hospitality. Two areas serve different kinds of guest. Zulal Serenity focuses on adults, while Zulal Discovery welcomes families and offers activities intended to bring different generations together. Rooms and suites provide a calm base, with more spacious layouts available for family stays. Fitness spaces, pools and hydrothermal facilities sit alongside treatment rooms, giving guests a choice between active sessions and quieter periods of relaxation. Dining forms part of the wider retreat experience, with menus considered alongside individual preferences and the programme selected. Guests can choose a structured visit or concentrate on particular activities, depending on their aims and available time. Zulal is distinctive for combining a dedicated wellness setting with a separate family experience, allowing adults travelling with children to consider a retreat without assuming that the whole resort follows one pattern.

81. Eden Rock St Barths

    St Jean, Saint Barthélemy

    Eden Rock occupies a rocky promontory on St Jean Bay, where red roofs and white buildings meet a pale sweep of beach. Its position places guests close to the boutiques and restaurants of St Jean, while terraces and beachside gardens provide quieter corners within the property. The relationship between the rock, the sea and the village gives the hotel a distinctly intimate island setting. Accommodation is individually designed, with rooms, suites and villas distributed across the promontory, gardens and shoreline. Art, books, wood and stone give the interiors a residential character, and the different settings create a meaningful choice between elevated views and immediate access to the sand. Larger suites and beach houses offer additional living space for longer stays or travelling companions. Dining centres on the Sand Bar, with menus shaped by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, alongside the Rémy Bar and beachside drinks. Eden Spa uses Ligne St Barth products in its treatments. Days can move easily between swimming, a treatment and exploring St Jean, with the hotel’s small scale keeping its seaside atmosphere close at hand.

82. TURK Fatih Tutak

    Turkey

    TURK Fatih Tutak approaches Turkish food through memory, regional ingredients and a changing twelve-course tasting menu. In Istanbul’s Bomonti district, chef Fatih Tutak takes familiar culinary references and reshapes them with contemporary techniques, allowing the country’s geography and producers to guide the cooking. The restaurant accommodates around thirty guests each evening. A chef’s table brings diners closer to the kitchen, while AVLU, the courtyard space, provides a place to begin the experience before entering the dining room. The meal lasts approximately three hours, giving the sequence of small courses time to develop rather than compressing it into a conventional dinner.

83. Em Sherif Restaurant

    Lebanon

    Em Sherif Restaurant serves Lebanese cuisine on Damascus Street in Beirut’s Monot district. Its approach centres on the country’s culinary traditions, presented through a generous set-menu format that encourages guests to experience a sequence of dishes together. The dining room gives the meal a formal, celebratory setting. The restaurant is part of Mireille Hayek’s wider Em Sherif group, whose separate café, seafood and deli concepts offer different interpretations of Lebanese food. The Beirut restaurant remains the dedicated traditional dining concept, with daily lunch service at its Monot address.

84. Sirocco – lebua at State Tower

    Bangkok, Thailand

    Sirocco is lebua at State Tower’s rooftop restaurant in Bangrak, Bangkok, set on the 64th Floor at 1055 Silom Road, Bangkok 10500, Thailand. The official pages present it as an open-air dining destination rather than a casual hotel outlet, with a dedicated restaurant identity within the broader lebua property. It is described as a refined Mediterranean venue, with reservations managed through the restaurant’s own contacts and booking channels on the lebua site. The food offer is centred on dinner and is supported by both chef’s tasting and à la carte menus. lebua describes the cooking as fine dining, and the current menu structure confirms a polished evening format rather than all-day service. The available dishes are framed around Mediterranean flavours and premium ingredients, with tasting-menu and individual-course choices that suit a more composed meal. Service charge and government tax are noted separately on the menu pages. Sirocco’s character rests heavily on its rooftop setting. lebua presents it as an open-air restaurant beneath the property’s golden dome, designed to give diners a high-level view over Bangkok from the top of State Tower. The atmosphere is shaped by that exposed terrace environment, making the restaurant’s physical position as important as its menu. The official wording places emphasis on height, skyline outlook and an evening experience linked to the city at night. As part of lebua’s restaurant collection, Sirocco stands apart through its formal rooftop focus and destination-dining feel. The official pages concentrate on dinner reservations, menu presentation and the restaurant’s distinctive setting, suggesting a venue intended for a more deliberate evening meal rather than a general-purpose dining room. Its appeal lies in the combination of Mediterranean cooking, elevated outdoor space and a clearly defined identity within the State Tower complex in central Bangkok.

85. Royalton Punta Cana - Diamond Club Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite

    Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

    The Diamond Club Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite at Royalton Punta Cana offers a residential arrangement within an all-inclusive resort on Playa Arena Gorda. Its separate bedroom, living space and dining table allow couples or a small family to spend time together without using the bedroom for every activity. A private terrace extends the accommodation into the tropical surroundings. The suite measures approximately 68 square metres and has a king bed and sofa bed. The bathroom includes a Jacuzzi tub and rain shower, while the living area provides space for a quiet meal or an afternoon indoors. Garden view and swim-out versions are available; the latter connects to a semi-private pool, so direct water access depends on the category reserved. Diamond Club benefits include butler assistance and access to dedicated resort areas. Beyond the suite, the beach, pools and varied restaurants provide the main focus of the day. Guests also have access to the neighbouring Royalton Splash Punta Cana water park, bringing an additional option for families. The combination of separate living space, outdoor access and resort facilities suits travellers who want the convenience of an all-inclusive stay with somewhere comfortable to retreat between activities.

86. Oceania Cruises

    Miami, United States

    Oceania Cruises builds its voyages around food and destinations, using ships that offer several dining settings within a relatively manageable scale. Itineraries range from regional journeys to lengthy explorations linking continents, with both established ports and smaller calls contributing to the route. The onboard atmosphere favours leisurely meals, conversation and time to appreciate the places visited. Restaurants are a defining feature, with menus and venues varying across the fleet. Alongside the main dining room and more casual options, speciality restaurants explore cuisines such as Italian cooking, steakhouse dishes and Asian flavours. Selected ships also have a Culinary Center, where practical classes add a more participatory element to the food programme and connect cooking with destinations along the itinerary. Staterooms and suites provide a range of accommodation choices, while lounges, pools, fitness areas and spa facilities shape the quieter parts of the day. Shore excursions and longer voyages allow travellers to pursue interests beyond the main sights, particularly when a route offers time for food markets, museums or neighbourhood walks. Oceania is well suited to passengers for whom the pleasure of dining and the substance of the itinerary are central to choosing a cruise.

87. La Grande Table Marocaine

    Morocco

    La Grande Table Marocaine is featured in 10 Best Restaurants in Morocco. It holds the No. 1 position in this guide, part of the 10 Best collection for Morocco. Explore the full guide to compare the selections, or save this listing to include in your own 10 Best list.

88. Anan Saigon

    Vietnam

    Anan Saigon is a restaurant at 89 Ton That Dam in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, set within Chợ Cũ, one of the city’s older wet-market areas. The operator describes it as a “tube house” venue tucked into the market streets, with dinner service from Tuesday to Sunday and reservations handled by email. Its setting is central to the experience: compact, urban and closely tied to the market environment rather than a conventional standalone dining room. The kitchen focuses on modern Vietnamese cooking under chef Peter Cuong Franklin, presenting street food and familiar dishes through a fine-dining lens. The current offer includes two tasting menus, alongside à la carte dishes, with examples such as Le Petite Bánh Mì, Bún Chả Bourdain, Hà Nội Turmeric Fish, Bánh Xèo Taco, Đà Lạt Street Style Pizza, Mekong Delta Fish, Cơm Tấm Saigon and Fish Sauce Ice Cream. The menu framing suggests a blend of regional references, local ingredients and French-influenced technique. Facilities are intentionally limited by the building’s scale and location. The restaurant states that tasting menus require advance booking, all guests at the same table must choose the same tasting menu, and no dress code is required. It also notes that children under 12 cannot be accommodated and that the property is not suitable for wheelchairs because of the small walk-up building in the market. These details point to a tightly managed, small-format service rather than a broad casual-dining operation. Anan is part of a wider cluster of venues on the same property, including Nhau Nhau on the second floor and a rooftop dining bar, but these are distinct from the main restaurant and should be treated separately. For Anan itself, the appeal lies in its focused menu structure, market setting and city-centre atmosphere, which together create a concise contemporary portrait of Saigon cuisine rather than a generic international tasting-room experience.

89. Jade Mountain

    Soufrière, Saint Lucia

    Jade Mountain rises above the Anse Chastanet estate near Soufrière, with the Pitons and Caribbean Sea framing its open architecture. Individual bridges lead to the guest sanctuaries, where a missing fourth wall brings the landscape directly into the living space. Stone columns and broad, sculptural forms make the building itself a distinctive part of the stay. Most sanctuaries combine sleeping and living areas with a private infinity pool, creating an unusually continuous relationship between room and water. The Sky category uses a whirlpool bath instead, so accommodation choice matters. Major domos help arrange dining and activities, while the scale and separation of the sanctuaries encourage long periods of private time with the view. The open design also makes changing light, weather and natural sounds part of the experience. At the Jade Mountain Club, dining takes place around an elevated pool, with the Celestial Terrace above offering space for sunset drinks and stargazing. Kai en Ciel provides spa and fitness facilities. Guests also have access to the beaches, restaurants and activities of sister resort Anse Chastanet below, including snorkelling, diving and trails. This combination balances the seclusion of the hillside accommodation with a much wider estate to explore.

90. Azurmendi

    Spain

    Azurmendi is Eneko Atxa's restaurant in Larrabetzu, Biscay, where Basque culinary traditions meet contemporary technique. Its Gran Menú unfolds through several spaces: a welcome picnic, a kitchen table, a garden sequence and the main dining experience. Preparations explore ingredients in different forms, including tomato presented through its skin, pulp, flesh and whey. The menu moves on to seafood, vegetables and meat, with dishes such as oyster with seaweed, charcoal-grilled lobster and Iberian pork cheek. The building was conceived around its relationship with nature; a greenhouse supplies some kitchen produce, while renewable energy and rainwater collection form part of its design.

91. 4 Charles Prime Rib

    New York, USA

    4 Charles Prime Rib is a restaurant in New York, USA.

92. Passalacqua

    Moltrasio, Italy

    Passalacqua occupies an eighteenth-century villa above Lake Como in Moltrasio, where terraced gardens connect the house to the water. The hotel draws on the Italian tradition of spending extended time at a country residence, encouraging a slower rhythm of meals, swimming and lake excursions. Its setting feels closely tied to the landscape, with paths and planted terraces creating several places to pause outdoors. Accommodation is divided between the main Villa, the Palazz behind it and Casa al Lago near the shore. The buildings have distinct characters, ranging from richly detailed rooms in the historic house to more secluded spaces within the garden. Individual layouts and decorative schemes make the choice of room part of the experience, while lake-facing options provide different perspectives on the water. An outdoor pool occupies a garden terrace, and the spa introduces another side of the estate. Beneath the gardens, historic passages lead towards a sauna, steam bath and heated indoor pool. Treatments and a gym in a former greenhouse extend the wellness facilities. Passalacqua suits travellers who want a residential base for exploring Como’s villages, with equal reason to spend a day within the grounds.

93. Una Pizza Napoletana

    New York, USA

    Una Pizza Napoletana is Anthony Mangieri’s pizzeria on Orchard Street in New York’s Lower East Side, trading from 175 Orchard Street, New York, NY 10002. The business presents itself as the current and only expression of Mangieri’s long-running focus on pizza, and it operates as a single independent restaurant rather than a wider group. Its setting is compact and purposefully simple, with the dining room arranged around the oven and the service model kept closely tied to the cooking. The kitchen is centred on naturally leavened, wood-fired Neapolitan pizza. The official site says Mangieri makes every ball of dough by hand and shapes, tops and bakes each pizza himself, while the menu is intentionally minimal. Michelin also identifies the restaurant as pizza cuisine at the same address and notes the wood-burning oven, minimal toppings and Neapolitan style, confirming the tight focus of the food. Beyond the pizzas, the offer remains restrained. The menu includes a small selection of starters, made-daily ice cream and seasonal sorbetto, together with a limited list of Italian beers and wines from Campania and Champagne. The restaurant states that it does not serve gluten-free pizza, and that the marinara pizza is vegan. Michelin similarly describes dessert as limited to sorbet or gelato, reinforcing the concise shape of the meal. The dining room is intimate and personal, with guests seated within view of the oven and one-of-a-kind artworks displayed on site. Reservations are required and open online two weeks in advance, though visitors without dinner bookings may stop by for drinks or small bites. Private buyouts are available for larger gatherings, with events offering exclusive use of the restaurant and food and drinks prepared throughout by Mangieri himself.

94. Seabourn

    Seattle, United States

    Seabourn offers ocean and expedition voyages on ships designed around suite accommodation and a relatively intimate onboard atmosphere. Its routes range from familiar Mediterranean and northern European ports to polar regions and remote coastlines, with the style of exploration shaped by the vessel and itinerary. The experience combines a comfortable base at sea with opportunities to spend substantial time ashore. Ocean-facing suites, restaurants and lounges form the core of life on board. Dining moves between formal restaurant settings and more relaxed meals, while open bars and included wines and spirits support an easy social rhythm. Sea days can be spent at the pool, in the spa, listening to a talk or reading on deck, with entertainment providing another option after dinner. The expedition ships add specialist teams and equipment for guided exploration, including Zodiac outings and landings where conditions permit. These voyages place more emphasis on wildlife, landscapes and the practicalities of reaching remote places, while retaining the line's suite-based accommodation. Seabourn is particularly suited to travellers who want an itinerary with variety but prefer a smaller shipboard environment, where the route, the daily programme and the quality of time at sea carry similar importance.

95. Hassan II Mosque

    Casablanca, Morocco

    Hassan II Mosque meets the Atlantic at the edge of Casablanca, its minaret rising above an expansive waterfront esplanade. The relationship with the ocean gives the complex much of its character: waves and sea air remain part of the setting, while the building's carved surfaces and monumental proportions create a formal counterpoint to the coast. The prayer hall and its associated spaces offer a detailed introduction to Moroccan craftsmanship. Zellige mosaics, carved plaster and timber, marble, tadelakt and copperwork appear throughout the visitor route. Rather than relying solely on the scale of the architecture, a guided visit draws attention to the materials and techniques that shape its decorative programme, as well as the history of the mosque and its construction. The foundation also maintains a museum and cultural activities that place this craftsmanship in a wider context. Visitors of different faiths can enter designated areas through the mosque's organised tours, while prayer continues to govern the building's primary purpose. Its oceanfront position makes it a natural starting point for exploring Casablanca, and time spent examining the interior reveals considerably more than the familiar distant view of the minaret.

96. Gulfstream G800

    Savannah, United States

    The Gulfstream G800 is designed around extended intercontinental flying, pairing a long range airframe with a cabin that can be organised into several distinct living areas. Its oval windows, carefully managed lighting and continuous supply of fresh air shape an interior intended for journeys that cross both continents and time zones. The emphasis is on giving passengers a usable environment throughout a lengthy flight. Layouts can include up to four living areas, or three living areas with a dedicated crew compartment. Sixteen windows illuminate seating groups that can be arranged for conversation, dining and work. Resting arrangements depend on the selected interior, with berthing seats and private spaces providing alternatives to remaining upright through an overnight sector. Finishes, furniture and entertainment equipment are specified for each aircraft. The G800 uses Gulfstream's Symmetry flight deck, with active control sidesticks and touchscreen interfaces. Its practical appeal for passengers lies in combining long journeys with a cabin that supports changing activities. Travellers considering a charter should examine the actual seating plan and sleeping provision, as these determine how comfortably a particular aircraft will accommodate their party over many hours.

97. The Metropolitan Museum of Art

    New York, United States

    The Metropolitan Museum of Art stretches along Fifth Avenue beside Central Park, with a collection that invites visitors to move between cultures, periods and materials. The main building combines monumental halls with smaller rooms, making the setting change considerably as the route progresses. A single visit might connect an Egyptian temple, a European painting gallery and an American period interior. The collection extends beyond painting and sculpture to arms and armour, musical instruments, textiles, decorative arts and objects of daily life. This breadth is particularly rewarding for travellers who follow a theme, such as portraiture, craftsmanship or the movement of ideas between societies. The Temple of Dendur and the American Wing offer substantial architectural settings within the museum, while less crowded galleries encourage closer attention to individual pieces. Exhibitions, talks and guided programmes add further ways to approach the collection. Cafés and places to pause help break up a longer visit, and Central Park provides an immediate change of pace outside. The museum's scale makes selection more useful than rushing: choosing a few departments allows the relationships between objects and the stories behind them to become the focus.

98. Presidential Suites at Raffles Singapore

    Singapore, Singapore

    The Presidential Suites at Raffles Singapore occupy the hotel's Main Building, looking towards the Palm Court. Named the Sarkies and Sir Stamford Raffles suites, they connect the accommodation with figures in the property's story. Their position within the historic hotel gives the stay a sense of enclosure and ceremony, while the courtyard outlook offers a quieter perspective on the city outside. Generous layouts separate the parlour, living room and dining space from the bedrooms. A dressing area, personal pantry and private balcony extend the residential character, allowing guests to host a meal or spend an unhurried morning without leaving the suite. Marble bathrooms have double vanities, a separate bathtub and a walk-in shower, with the choice of configuration shaping how the rooms work for couples or a shared stay. Raffles Butler Service is available around the clock, alongside in-suite dining and the wider facilities of the hotel. The Beach Road address keeps Singapore's civic and cultural district close, making it straightforward to alternate exploring with time within the property. These suites particularly suit travellers who value traditional room proportions, defined spaces for entertaining and a direct connection to Raffles' established architectural setting.

99. One&Only Kéa Island

    Kéa, Greece

    On Kéa's western coastline, One&Only Kéa Island follows a steep landscape down towards Vroskopos Bay. The resort's position in the Cyclades brings a different rhythm from nearby Athens, with sea crossings, dry hillsides and sheltered water shaping the experience. Villas are arranged to open towards the Aegean, so the outlook remains central whether guests are indoors or on their terraces. Private pools and generous living and dining areas make the accommodation suitable for extended time in one place. The design gives outdoor space a practical role, with room for meals, reading and swimming against the same broad coastal view. Down by the water, Bond Beach Club offers a more sociable setting for dining, a swim or an afternoon under the trees. The island provides reasons to venture beyond the resort. Guided hikes explore the ancient remains at Karthea, while boat excursions reach neighbouring coves and islands. Diving connects experienced visitors with Kéa's underwater landscape and notable wreck sites. Family activities add another option on land. For travellers combining the island with Athens, the journey between the two offers a clear transition from metropolitan culture to the quieter geography of the Cyclades.

100. Aman Tokyo Spa

     Japan

     Aman Tokyo Spa occupies two floors high in Otemachi Tower, with broad city views and a notably spacious layout. Its 2,500 square metres bring together treatment suites, bathing facilities and exercise spaces in the centre of one of Tokyo's busiest business districts. Water is central to the experience. Onsen-style hot baths and steam rooms sit alongside a 30-metre heated indoor pool, where the skyline provides the backdrop to a swim. Guests are encouraged to allow time for bathing before their treatment begins. Eight private treatment rooms have their own dressing, bathing and relaxation areas. The signature spa journey combines a scrub using Japanese ingredients such as kuromoji and clay with massage drawing on Shiatsu and Western techniques, while the wider menu provides options for a more individual visit. A gym, yoga and Pilates facilities extend the offering beyond massage. The spa is particularly appealing for travellers who want to make a substantial pause in a city itinerary, with time for quiet bathing, movement and a treatment in one place.

101. Liza

     Paris, France

     Liza is a Lebanese restaurant at 14 rue de la Banque in Paris’s 2nd arrondissement, identifiable as the Paris site of the Liza business rather than its Panache branch in the 9th. The official site presents it as a restaurant and delivery operation open for lunch and dinner through most of the week, with a Sunday brunch service, while the MICHELIN Guide also lists it in the same address and categorises it as Lebanese cuisine. According to the restaurant’s own pages, Liza centres its cooking on Lebanese mezze designed for sharing, alongside grilled dishes and menu formats for lunch, dinner and brunch. The menu language stresses fresh produce and recipes that are reworked with care, rather than a fixed bistro formula, and the site also notes options for smaller parties, larger tables and private hire. The dining room is described by the MICHELIN Guide as bright, with Middle Eastern touches, and by the restaurant itself as a joyful, festive setting for meals with friends or family. MICHELIN highlights that the kitchen gives pride of place to dishes from Beirut, with vegetarian choices and a selection of Lebanese wines, which helps define the character of the room as a contemporary, urbane take on Lebanese dining in central Paris. Liza therefore reads as a neighbourhood restaurant with a broad service profile: sit-down meals, brunch, take-away and delivery, plus arrangements for private groups. Its appeal lies in the combination of Lebanese sharing plates, grilled specialities, and a decorative style that aims to evoke Beirut without feeling thematic or formal, making it a distinct Paris address rather than a generic Mediterranean venue.

102. Kasama

     Chicago, USA

     Kasama is a restaurant in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, at 1001 N. Winchester Avenue, serving a Filipino-inspired programme from husband-and-wife team Tim Flores and Genie Kwon. The business presents itself as both a daytime bakery and a dinner destination, with the official site noting counter service in the day and reservation-only evening service. Michelin also identifies Kasama as Filipino, contemporary cuisine and describes it as a simple space shaped by the pair’s fine-dining background. By day, Kasama operates as a casual bakery and counter-service restaurant, open Wednesday to Sunday for breakfast and lunch. The daytime offer sits alongside the restaurant’s more formal dinner identity rather than replacing it, so the same address accommodates two distinct formats of service. Official reservation information confirms that daytime visits are first come, first served, while evening dining is arranged separately. In the evening, Kasama serves a modern Filipino tasting menu on Thursday to Sunday. The official restaurant site lists a set tasting menu with optional beverage pairings, and Michelin’s profile notes the restaurant’s contemporary Filipino focus and the way Flores and Kwon reinterpret homey preparations in a more refined context. That combination suggests a kitchen balancing familiar flavours with precise, modern presentation. The overall experience is therefore shaped by contrast: a bakery and counter-service operation in the daytime, then a booked tasting-menu restaurant after dark. Michelin’s description also points to a compact setting and to the couple’s complementary strengths, with Flores guiding the savoury side and Kwon bringing pastry expertise to the dessert programme. Taken together, the evidence supports a restaurant with a clear Filipino identity, a dual service structure and a polished but not ostentatious character.

103. Singapore Airlines

     Singapore, Singapore

     Singapore Airlines combines a Changi Airport hub with a network that links Singapore to destinations across several continents. Its service has a recognisable local identity, expressed through cabin design, food and the familiar batik uniforms of its cabin crew. For many travellers, the journey also offers the opportunity to break a longer itinerary with time in Singapore. The onboard product ranges from Economy and Premium Economy to Business Class, First Class and Suites, depending on the aircraft and route. Seating layouts therefore deserve attention when choosing a flight. Dining is a particular focus, with the Book the Cook service allowing eligible passengers to select a main course in advance on participating services. KrisWorld entertainment adds films, television, music and other content for time in the air. KrisFlyer connects eligible flights with rewards and a wider collection of travel and lifestyle partners. At Changi, the airline's lounge network serves qualifying passengers, while the airport offers its own extensive dining and leisure facilities. Singapore Airlines is distinctive for the continuity between its home hub and cabin experience, with a broad choice of travel classes that lets passengers shape the balance of comfort, space and cost.

104. Fu He Hui

     Shanghai, China

     Fu He Hui is a vegetarian restaurant at 1037 Yuyuan Road in Changning, Shanghai. Michelin identifies it as a restaurant that manages its own bookings, with the venue operating as a specialist destination rather than a broad all-day dining room. The address places it firmly in Shanghai’s urban dining scene, and its profile is clearly tied to a single, exact branch rather than a wider chain format. The kitchen serves only set menus, with dishes changing by season to make use of local ingredients. Michelin’s description highlights carefully plated courses, including authentically recreated recipes from the past, which suggests an approach rooted in refined Chinese vegetarian cooking rather than novelty. The restaurant’s style is presented as Zen-inspired, and the dining experience is shaped around restraint, precision and considered pacing. Tea is an important part of the experience at Fu He Hui, with an extensive tea list specifically recommended alongside the food. That emphasis on tea, together with the restaurant’s serene presentation, gives the meal a contemplative quality. The focus is on a coherent tasting journey in which the drinks and the dishes are treated as complementary parts of the same concept. On the practical side, Michelin lists air conditioning, valet parking, card payments and pets not being allowed. It also records the restaurant as open daily for lunch and dinner, which supports its current operation as a formal sit-down venue. Taken together, the evidence points to a polished Shanghai restaurant centred on seasonal vegetarian set menus, tea service and a calm, highly composed atmosphere.

105. Singapore Changi Airport

     Singapore, Singapore

     Singapore Changi Airport treats time between flights as part of the travel experience. Alongside its terminals, the complex includes gardens, dining and places to rest, with individual spaces giving each area a different character. It is both the gateway to Singapore and a connecting point for journeys across Asia and beyond. Greenery is a defining feature. The Butterfly Garden in Terminal 3 introduces a tropical setting within the transit area, while other gardens provide quieter pauses around the airport. Jewel, in the public area beside Terminal 1, adds the Rain Vortex and planted Forest Valley to a substantial collection of shops and restaurants. Visiting Jewel from transit requires the appropriate time and entry arrangements, which makes the distinction between public and airside areas useful when planning a connection. Travellers can also find hotel and lounge options, family facilities and a broad choice of food, from local flavours to international menus. Rail, taxi and other transport links connect the airport with the city. Changi's distinctive appeal lies in the variety of ways to spend an otherwise functional stop, allowing passengers to shape a layover around a meal, a rest or a short encounter with Singapore's garden-city character.

106. Soneva Fushi Villas

     Kunfunadhoo, Maldives

     Soneva Fushi places villa living within the thick greenery of a Maldivian island in Baa Atoll. Beach accommodation is tucked among trees, with sandy paths linking private spaces to the shore. The approach feels deliberately informal: broad terraces, natural textures and rooms designed for spending time together give the villas the character of island homes. The collection ranges from smaller retreats to substantial residences for extended families and groups. Private pools feature across many categories, while the larger residences add expansive gathering areas and, in selected layouts, waterslides. Overwater accommodation offers a different perspective, with decks above the lagoon and direct access to the sea. The choice between a garden setting and an overwater position is therefore as significant as the number of bedrooms. Beyond the villa, guests can explore dining among the treetops or beside the water, visit the observatory and take part in activities at the glass studio. The Den provides a dedicated setting for younger guests, while the resort's spa and water experiences offer quieter or more active interludes. There is scope to build an entire day around the island without losing the privacy of the villa.

107. Bodega El Capricho

     Jiménez de Jamuz, Spain

     Bodega El Capricho is a restaurant in C/Carrobierzo nº28, Jiménez de Jamuz, León, in north-west Spain. The site is an underground bodega, so the setting is integral to the visit rather than a neutral backdrop. Its official material places the restaurant within the village’s cellar tradition and clay-soil landscape, giving the dining room a distinctly rural character rooted in local building and farming customs. The kitchen centres on ox and beef, with charcoal cooking and a menu built around specific cuts and preparations. Dishes listed officially include roastbeef de picaña de buey, cecina de buey premium, tuétano and chuleta de buey premium, alongside other simple items. The focus is therefore narrow and product-led, with the meat itself, its treatment and its provenance forming the main thread of the meal. Beyond the restaurant, guided visits begin there and continue by todoterreno across the finca before a cellar visit. The visit material describes encounters with the oxen and the wine cellar, linking the dining room to the wider working property. That broader setting underlines that El Capricho functions as both a place to eat and a livestock-and-wine operation shaped by agricultural production. The family history associated with the site reaches back to the early twentieth century, when Segundo Gordón is linked with the original cave-bodega in Jiménez de Jamuz. That background helps explain the restaurant’s sense of place, where underground construction, earth, fire and wine sit closely together. The result is a destination defined by cellar architecture, rural labour and a focused approach to cooking beef and ox cuts.

108. Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer

     Singapore, Singapore

     KrisFlyer is the rewards programme of the Singapore Airlines Group, linking air travel with a broader range of shopping, dining and experiences. Members can collect miles through Singapore Airlines, Scoot and eligible partner activity, then use them towards flights, upgrades or other rewards. The programme's connection with Singapore gives it a strong local dimension as well as an international reach. KrisFlyer miles are the redeemable currency, while Elite miles measure progress towards higher membership levels. Eligible Star Alliance flights widen earning and redemption opportunities, and the group's KrisShop, Kris+ and Pelago services add ways to use the programme outside the airport. These different channels make it possible to build a balance through a mixture of travel and everyday activity. The details matter when planning a reward. Seat availability, booking class and partner conditions influence both what can be earned and how miles can be spent. Higher tiers bring additional travel privileges, with the separate PPS Club recognising qualifying premium-cabin expenditure. For travellers who frequently use Singapore Airlines or its partners, KrisFlyer offers a coherent link between repeat journeys and future travel, with digital tools for tracking balances and exploring redemption options.

109. Royal Dornoch Golf Club

     Dornoch, United Kingdom

     Royal Dornoch occupies a stretch of Highland coastline where sandy beach, gorse and the Dornoch Firth frame the golf. The club belongs closely to the small town beside it, and its Championship Course retains the sense of a landscape adapted for play. Old Tom Morris extended the original links to eighteen holes, establishing a connection with the wider history of Scottish course design. The course moves across naturally tiered ground, with elevated greens that demand thought about the approach and the consequences of a miss. Coastal breezes alter the way holes play, and the open setting makes changes in light and weather part of the round. The challenge rewards judgement, control and an appreciation of how the ball will behave after it lands. Visitors are welcomed through the club's published booking arrangements. The separate Struie Course offers another way to experience golf beside the firth, making a longer visit worthwhile. Dornoch itself provides a compact base, with its cathedral, town centre and beach close at hand. A trip here combines serious golf with the quieter pace of the northern Highlands.

110. CÉ LA VI

     Singapore

     CÉ LA VI is a restaurant in Singapore.

111. Six Senses Zighy Bay

     Dibba, Oman

     Six Senses Zighy Bay sits between rugged mountains and a long beach on Oman's Musandam Peninsula. Stone buildings and sandy paths give the resort the scale and texture of a coastal village. Villas, suites and larger retreats have private pools and outdoor living areas, encouraging guests to divide their time between their own space and the bay beyond. The spa offers treatment rooms, hammams, steam and sauna facilities, together with places to rest between appointments. Indoor and outdoor yoga spaces provide different settings for movement, while the fitness centre supports more structured exercise. An Alchemy Bar introduces guests to making aromatic skincare preparations, and the spa garden adds another sensory element to the surroundings. Dining ranges across local and international cooking, with the mountain setting contributing to the experience at Sense on the Edge. Water-based excursions and other outdoor activities allow a more active stay, while the beach and private pools make a slower routine equally straightforward. Zighy Bay's distinctive quality is the closeness of contrasting landscapes: bare rock rises behind a resort whose daily life turns towards the sea, creating a natural backdrop for time spent resting, exploring or following a wellness programme.

112. Franklin Barbecue

     Austin, USA

     Franklin Barbecue is a restaurant in Austin, USA.

113. Le Calandre

     Rubano, Italy

     Le Calandre is the Alajmo family’s restaurant in Sarmeola di Rubano, just outside Padua. The setting places the emphasis on the table, where Massimiliano Alajmo’s cooking explores the ways aroma, texture and temperature influence flavour. His work draws on Italian culinary memory while allowing ingredients to appear in unfamiliar forms, with a particular interest in clarity and lightness. The restaurant offers several tasting routes, including a selection of established dishes and menus devoted to more recent creations. These provide different perspectives on a kitchen that treats experimentation as an ongoing process. Vegetables, seafood and other seasonal ingredients become the starting point for combinations intended to engage several senses at once. Guests can discuss their preferences with the team when choosing how to approach the meal. The dining room’s considered proportions and restrained presentation support close attention to the food without overwhelming it. Wine is another important part of the experience, with the cellar connecting producers and growing regions to the dishes. Le Calandre suits travellers seeking a substantial contemporary Italian meal near Padua, with enough time to follow the progression of flavours and the ideas behind them.

114. The Red Pool at The Library

     Koh Samui, Thailand

     The Red Pool is the visual centre of The Library, a design hotel on Koh Samui's Chaweng Beach. Its saturated colour creates a striking contrast with the pale sand and sea beyond, giving the pool terrace a character quite different from the island's more conventional beachfront settings. The composition is deliberately simple, allowing colour, water and the horizon to carry much of the experience. Swimming here is closely connected to the hotel's wider idea of time spent reading and slowing down. The Lib, its library space, looks towards both the sea and the Red Pool and holds a substantial collection of books. Minimalist surroundings make it easy to move between a swim, a chair and a few pages, with the beach immediately adding another setting for the same unhurried rhythm. The hotel also has a separate Long Pool for more regular laps, which gives the Red Pool its own role as a distinctive social and visual focus. Dining, spa and massage services, and a fitness room complement time beside the water. Its location on Chaweng places this carefully composed retreat within reach of one of Samui's active beach districts.

115. Eiffel Tower

     Paris, France

     The Eiffel Tower gives Paris two distinct experiences: the intricate iron structure seen from the ground and the city revealed from its upper levels. Built for the 1889 World's Fair, it stands beside the Seine at the Champ de Mars. Approaching through the esplanade brings its engineering into focus, with the curved legs and latticework creating changing patterns overhead. The visit is organised around different levels and ticket options. Travellers can reach the second floor by stairs or lift, while access to the summit involves lifts and a ticket that includes that level. From the viewing areas, the river, avenues and familiar monuments help explain the layout of Paris. The closer perspective from the lower levels and the wider panorama above offer different ways to read the city. Food and drink are part of the tower's experience, with restaurants and other refreshment stops at selected levels. These are useful for visitors who want to make the ascent more than a brief photo stop. Booking the intended route and level before arrival is sensible, as summit access cannot simply be added to every ticket. Allow time to look closely at the structure itself as well as the view beyond it.

116. Watch wildlife on a Serengeti safari, Tanzania

     World

117. Grand Ballroom at The Plaza

     New York, United States

     The Grand Ballroom at The Plaza belongs to New York’s history of formal entertaining. Set within the Fifth Avenue hotel beside Central Park, it has hosted society gatherings, gala dinners and conferences, including Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball. That association gives the room a particular sense of occasion for couples and organisers seeking a setting with a recognisable place in the city’s cultural memory. The ballroom offers 4,800 square feet of event space, with layouts for seated dinners, cocktail receptions, presentations and meetings. Its supporting foyers allow the arrival and reception elements of an occasion to be considered alongside the main gathering. A wedding here can consequently be planned as a sequence of spaces and moments, rather than treating dinner as the entire event. The hotel’s events team coordinates food, service and room arrangements for individual functions. For travelling guests, the Fifth Avenue address places accommodation, Central Park and Midtown’s cultural attractions within the same part of Manhattan. The ballroom’s appeal lies in this combination of a working contemporary event venue and a long-established New York social setting.

118. Sushi Sho

     New York, USA

     Sushi Sho is a restaurant in New York, USA.

119. Lung King Heen

     Hong Kong

     Lung King Heen gives Cantonese cooking a harbour-facing stage at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Executive Chinese chef Chan Yan Tak’s menus range from carefully made lunchtime dim sum to seafood dishes and elaborate casseroles, with an emphasis on precise technique and the character of each ingredient. Baked barbecued pork buns with pine nuts and abalone puffs with diced chicken are among its distinctive small dishes. More substantial options include fish maw casserole with abalone, prawns, scallops and chicken. Alongside à la carte choices are tasting and vegetarian tasting menus. The fourth-floor dining room makes a polished setting for a long lunch or evening occasion, with Victoria Harbour providing a constantly moving backdrop.

120. Sips

     Barcelona, Spain

     Sips brings an open, sociable approach to cocktails on Carrer de Muntaner in Barcelona. Its main bar, Drinkery House, is arranged to encourage contact between bartenders and guests, with no conventional physical barrier separating the two. The setting reflects a broader idea: careful technique can be part of a relaxed evening in which flavour remains easy to discuss and enjoy. The drinks draw on classic cocktail making as well as methods from cooking and pastry. Recognisable ingredients are explored through different textures, densities and combinations, with clarification used for its effect on taste. Glassware and serving pieces are developed around the liquid, so their role is to support the way a drink is experienced. This attention to texture and presentation gives the menu a distinctive identity without requiring guests to approach it as a technical exercise. A conversation with the team can begin with familiar preferences, such as fruit, bitterness or a particular spirit, before moving towards something less expected. Drinkery House is the social centre of the Sips experience, suited to visitors who enjoy seeing considered cocktail making unfold within an informal bar atmosphere.

121. Candlenut

     Singapore

     Candlenut explores Peranakan cooking through the family traditions that shaped chef Malcolm Lee. At Dempsey Road, his kitchen brings a contemporary sensibility to Straits-Chinese food while retaining the spices and inherited recipes that give the cuisine its identity. The choice includes an à la carte menu and the playfully named Ah-Ma-Kase experience, offered at lunch and dinner. Meals are designed around the pleasure of sharing, encouraging diners to discover how different dishes work together across the table. The 90-seat dining room, designed by Paola Navone of OTTO Studio, continues that dialogue between heritage and the present. Modern interiors incorporate Peranakan details, providing a considered backdrop without turning the room into a historical reconstruction. Candlenut is an engaging address for visitors seeking a fuller understanding of Singapore’s food culture. It offers both a connection to home cooking and a chef’s individual interpretation, with enough range to reward a communal meal and a willingness to try unfamiliar flavours.

122. NAMMOS Mykonos

     Psarou, Greece

     NAMMOS occupies the shore of Psarou Bay on Mykonos, where a sheltered curve of sand faces an anchorage of yachts and fishing boats. Sunbeds, beach service and a seafront restaurant create a connected setting for swimming, lunch and an afternoon that can gradually gather pace. The surroundings are distinctly Cycladic, with pale buildings and dry island slopes framing the blue water. Food gives the day its structure. The restaurant's Mediterranean approach places fish and seafood at the centre of the menu, supported by sushi, selected meats and dishes designed for sharing. Guests can move between the beach and a more considered meal, while Champagne, wine and cocktails underpin the social atmosphere. Private cabanas offer another way to use the setting, with additional space and services arranged separately. Music and gatherings are integral to NAMMOS, so the experience often extends beyond a conventional lunch by the sea. It suits travellers who enjoy an animated beach scene and want dining, lounging and entertainment within the same address. Beach beds, restaurant tables and cabanas are distinct reservations, making it useful to decide how the day should unfold before arriving.

123. Demera

     Chicago, USA

     Demera is a restaurant in Chicago, USA.

124. Shoal Bay East

     Shoal Bay, Anguilla

     Shoal Bay East spreads along Anguilla's eastern coastline, where pale sand meets shallow turquoise water and a relaxed collection of beach bars, small hotels and restaurants. The long, open shoreline encourages walking, with quieter sections beyond the principal gathering places. Its appeal combines a recognisably Caribbean beach landscape with the practical ease of having lunch and shade nearby. Swimming and snorkelling are central to a day here, with reef and marine life accessible in the surrounding waters when conditions allow. Visitors can settle beside a beach restaurant, arrange chairs locally or explore the shore at their own pace. The choice of places to eat ranges from casual beach-bar cooking to more elaborate resort dining, giving a full day considerable flexibility. The beach belongs to an area that retains links to everyday island life, with the fishing community of Island Harbour within the wider eastern district. Returning from a swim to an unhurried meal is as much part of the experience as the view. Shoal Bay East is particularly suited to travellers who want a beautiful natural setting with enough activity and services to make lingering effortless.

125. Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach

     United Arab Emirates

     Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach faces the Arabian Gulf, with Dubai’s skyline forming the opposite backdrop. Its 270 metres of private beachfront sit alongside pools and cabanas, while accommodation ranges from terrace-equipped rooms to suites with separate living areas. Some larger suites add kitchens and dining rooms for extended stays. Sea Fu serves Far Eastern-inspired food beside the water, Hendricks Bar offers an indoor setting for drinks, and Mercury Rooftop looks across the city and sea. The Pearl Spa has ten treatment rooms, a fitness centre and an indoor pool beneath a glass atrium. Family and adults-only pool areas give guests a choice of pace during the day.

126. Steirereck

     Austria

     Steirereck stands in Vienna's Stadtpark, its steel-and-glass exterior reflecting the surrounding park. Inside, the dining room is divided into several wings, with curved forms softening the contemporary architecture. Heinz Reitbauer and head chef Michael Bauböck lead a creative approach to Austrian cooking, with Birgit Reitbauer overseeing the dining-room experience. Six- and seven-course menus are offered at lunch and dinner alongside an à la carte selection. Lunch also allows a shorter four- or five-course sequence. Bread and cheese trolleys are a distinctive part of service, while sommelier René Antrag guides the wine choices. The combination gives diners several ways to explore the kitchen rather than a single fixed format.

127. Restaurant Gordon Ramsay

     United Kingdom

     Restaurant Gordon Ramsay occupies its long-established Royal Hospital Road address in Chelsea. Opened in 1998 as Ramsay’s first wholly owned restaurant, it remains the group’s flagship for modern French cooking. Chef de Cuisine Kim Ratcharoen leads the kitchen, with seasonal ingredients shaping menus that balance established techniques with contemporary presentation. Lobster ravioli and roast veal sweetbread are among the signatures identified by the Michelin Guide. Prestige offers a set progression, while Carte Blanche leaves the sequence to the kitchen. A vegetarian menu provides a dedicated alternative, and the wine list gives the meal another dimension. The dining room combines an elegant setting with a relatively relaxed atmosphere, as described by Michelin. It is a restaurant for giving lunch or dinner time to unfold, with the quality of ingredients and careful contrasts of flavour carrying the experience.

128. Singapore Airlines Business Class

     Singapore, Singapore

     Singapore Airlines approaches Business Class as a place to dine, work and sleep, with cabin designs tailored to different aircraft. Its long haul Airbus A350 and Boeing 777 seats use Scottish leather and broad, cushioned surfaces, changing from upright seating to a fully flat bed with linen, duvet and pillows. A side console keeps a laptop and smaller belongings within reach, including when the seat is in bed mode. Dining is an important part of the experience. On eligible departures, Book the Cook allows passengers to select a main course in advance from a wider menu, while the airline's digital menu shows the food and drinks planned for individual flights. The KrisWorld entertainment system brings films, television and music to a personal screen, with noise cancelling headphones available in the cabin. The airline also has a separate A380 Business Class design and regional products for its A350 medium haul, Boeing 787 and Boeing 737-8 aircraft. The precise layout, storage and seat dimensions therefore depend on the service booked. Checking the aircraft and seat map is useful when choosing between privacy by the window and seating that makes it easier to travel together.

129. SingleThread

     California

     SingleThread connects a restaurant and small inn in Healdsburg with a 24-acre farm in Dry Creek Valley. Chef Kyle Connaughton and farmer Katina Connaughton build the experience around the seasons, with the farm growing hundreds of culinary crop varieties as well as flowers for the property. The restaurant's ten-course tasting menu follows that harvest, bringing the farm's produce into a meal in the centre of Sonoma wine country. Five guestrooms occupy the second floor, including a larger suite. Overnight guests receive a guaranteed restaurant reservation and a choice of Japanese or Sonoma-style breakfast; in-room dining is also available. The farm, kitchen and inn give the visit a connected agricultural and culinary focus.

130. D.O.M.

     Brazil

     D.O.M. is Alex Atala’s restaurant in São Paulo’s Jardins district, built around research into Brazilian ingredients and food culture. Its tasting menu changes annually, exploring how culinary traditions can be preserved while continuing to evolve. The current format follows ten stages, from small opening bites through cold and warm dishes to desserts and petits fours. A contrasting weekday lunch centres on arroz com feijão, the rice-and-beans meal that has been served since the restaurant’s earliest days. It brings rice, two kinds of beans, beiju, farofa, vegetables and breaded banana together with a choice of meat, fish or chicken, followed by dessert and coffee. Wine pairing is available with the tasting menu.

131. Ocean

     Porches, Portugal

     Ocean Restaurant, located in the Algarve region of Portugal, is a beacon of culinary excellence that beckons discerning diners from around the world. Nestled within the luxurious Vila Vita Parc Resort, Ocean boasts two Michelin stars under the skilled leadership of Chef Hans Neuner. With a focus on contemporary Portuguese cuisine inspired by the bountiful treasures of the sea and land, Ocean offers a dining experience that is both sophisticated and unforgettable. The restaurant's oceanfront setting provides a picturesque backdrop for indulging in Chef Neuner's culinary creations, which artfully showcase the freshest local ingredients sourced from the Algarve and beyond.

132. La Cabrera

     Buenos Aires, Argentina

     La Cabrera is a restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

133. Beaches Turks & Caicos

     Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

     Beaches Turks & Caicos spreads along Grace Bay on Providenciales, combining a broad sandy shoreline with a resort built around family travel. Its villages have different architectural characters, from Caribbean and Mediterranean influences to the coastal style of Key West. Accommodation spans rooms and suites for smaller families through to larger layouts that give several generations space to stay together. The all inclusive programme brings meals, drinks and many activities into a single stay, with a wide choice of dining settings across the resort. Pools and the Pirates Island waterpark create an alternative to the beach, while the children's programme includes age appropriate activities and appearances by Sesame Street characters. The layout allows families to move between active areas and quieter stretches of the grounds without leaving the property. Treasure Beach Village adds another collection of multi bedroom suites and its own dining and leisure spaces, while connecting guests to the wider resort. Choosing a village is therefore an important part of planning a stay, particularly for access to specific pools or restaurants. Grace Bay remains the unifying feature: its open horizon and long sweep of sand provide a natural counterpoint to the organised entertainment.

134. August

     Jakarta, Indonesia

     August is a restaurant in Sequis Tower on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman in Jakarta, Indonesia. Operated by chef Hans Christian and F&B professional Budi Cahyadi, it says it began in 2019 as a private dining experience before opening as a full restaurant at the end of 2021. The dining room is built around organised reservations and a dinner-only rhythm from Tuesday to Saturday, giving the business a focused, appointment-led character in central Jakarta. The kitchen is presented as a contemporary tasting-menu operation rather than an à la carte restaurant, with the whole table required to choose the same menu. August describes its cooking as globally inspired yet shaped by Indonesian culture, layered spices and a subtle sweetness, with local ingredients and artisans part of the story. Its founders also frame the restaurant as a way to support dedicated suppliers and to place Jakarta more firmly on the international culinary map. Inside, August offers several distinct seating formats: a main dining area, Chef’s Counter, lounge, Chef’s Table and Private Dining Room. The restaurant highlights an open-kitchen setting, while the Chef’s Counter faces the pastry kitchen and is intended for solo diners or pairs. The Chef’s Table seats up to eight, and the Private Dining Room seats up to 14, so the space can shift between close kitchen viewing and more secluded meals for smaller groups. Practical details reinforce the restaurant’s formal but relaxed tone. The dress code is relaxed-casual, payment is cashless, and children over six are welcome if they dine from the menu. Outside food is not permitted, and there is no children’s menu or high chairs. Together with the tasting-menu format and structured seating, these policies suggest a restaurant that aims for precision and calm rather than a casual drop-in experience.

135. Secret Bay

     Portsmouth, Dominica

     Secret Bay occupies a wooded coastal setting near Portsmouth on Dominica, where private villas look towards the Caribbean through a landscape of tropical vegetation. The accommodation has a residential character, with generous indoor and outdoor space and individual plunge pools. Different villa designs suit couples, families and groups, while dedicated hosts and a concierge help shape the stay around personal interests. Food draws strongly on the island. The kitchens use produce from the property's organic garden, nearby farmers and local fishers, with dining available in the villa or in several shared settings. Zing Zing is an intimate open air restaurant above Tibay Beach, while Bwa Denn combines a more casual restaurant with art and other cultural spaces. A chef's table in the garden offers another way to connect a meal with its source. The surrounding coast and rainforest make this a useful base for active exploration, from snorkelling and paddling to guided journeys further into Dominica. Beaches and the spa provide quieter alternatives, and the private pool makes it easy to spend a day close to the villa. Secret Bay's appeal is the balance between self contained accommodation and a small resort whose food, guides and experiences remain closely tied to the island.

136. Gia

     Vietnam

     Gia places contemporary Vietnamese cooking opposite Hanoi's Temple of Literature. The restaurant's name refers to gia đình, or family, reflecting chef Sam Tran and partner Long Tran's attachment to their homeland after working abroad. A single tasting menu draws on seasonal ingredients and traditional Vietnamese cooking. Rather than presenting an extensive list of separate dishes, Gia develops the meal as one sequence, changing its interpretation with the seasons. The interior takes inspiration from the Temple of Literature across the road. That relationship between place, cultural memory and food gives the Van Mieu address a clear identity, with the kitchen exploring familiar Vietnamese ideas through contemporary techniques.

137. Momo

     London, UK

     Momo is a restaurant in London, UK.

138. Royalton CHIC Punta Cana - Diamond Club Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite

     Uvero Alto, Dominican Republic

     The Diamond Club Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite at Royalton CHIC Punta Cana combines a separate bedroom with the social atmosphere of an adults-only resort on Uvero Alto Beach. This is accommodation for two, with a king bed and additional living space that makes it possible to enjoy a quiet interval between the resort's pool gatherings, dining and evening entertainment. The garden view category measures approximately 56 square metres and opens to a private balcony or terrace. A stocked minibar and room service make a relaxed morning or an evening in straightforward, while butler assistance can help with restaurant arrangements. Diamond Club access adds a private lounge and a dedicated beach area. Oceanfront and terrace Presidential categories are offered separately, with different dimensions and outlooks, so the precise room description matters when booking. Royalton CHIC welcomes guests aged 18 and over, with restaurants, bars, swimming pools and a spa providing the main shared facilities. DJs and themed events give the property an energetic character, balanced by the opportunity to withdraw to the suite. Its appeal lies in that combination of private living space and a lively beachfront resort where social experiences form a prominent part of the stay.

139. Neolokal

     Turkey

     Neolokal at SALT Galata in Istanbul builds contemporary cooking around traditions that risk being forgotten. Chef Maksut Aşkar and his team examine old recipes closely, then use modern techniques to present them in new forms. The focus is on Turkish culinary heritage and ingredients sourced directly. Rather than treating tradition as a fixed collection of dishes, the kitchen uses it as a foundation for an evolving meal, preserving flavours while changing their presentation. Its setting on Bankalar Avenue in Karaköy places the restaurant within a cultural institution. That connection suits Neolokal’s wider purpose: a meal here is also an exploration of food memory, regional ingredients and how inherited recipes can continue to change.

140. Rosewood Little Dix Bay

     Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands

     Rosewood Little Dix Bay follows a sheltered crescent of sand on Virgin Gorda, framed by green hills and protected offshore by a coral reef. Established by Laurance Rockefeller in 1964, the resort retains a low-rise relationship with the landscape. Garden paths, natural materials and views across the bay give the setting a calm, village-like character. Accommodation ranges from beach-facing cottages and suites to larger villas on the hillside or close to the water. Light interiors and outdoor living areas make the surroundings part of each stay, while some suites add private pools. The variety suits both couples looking for a quiet retreat and families who need separate bedrooms and shared living space. Dining explores Caribbean ingredients at venues including Sugar Mill and Reef House, with produce also grown on the resort’s farm. The cliffside Sense spa overlooks the Sir Francis Drake Channel, and tennis, pickleball and watersports provide alternatives to the beach. Boat trips to other coves allow guests to explore more of Virgin Gorda without losing the unhurried rhythm of the resort.

141. Miss T's Kitchen

     Jamaica

     Miss T's Kitchen serves Jamaican country cooking at 65 Main Street in Ocho Rios. Self-taught chef Anna-Kay Tomlinson created a restaurant whose open-sided dining area, roof supported by tree-like posts and colourful decoration, brings the outdoors into the meal. Oxtail stew and curried goat are central to the kitchen's repertoire. Fish can be steamed, cooked in brown stew, served escoveitch with pickled vegetables and Scotch bonnet pepper, or prepared as rundown in coconut milk. The menu also gives space to vegetables, including coconut-curried chickpeas with ripe plantain. These different preparations make the island's herbs, spices and slow-cooked dishes the substance of the experience.

142. Caribbee

     London, United Kingdom

     Caribbee is an independent London travel company with a sustained focus on the Caribbean. From its office in Tooting, it arranges flights and holidays across the region, covering well-established beach destinations alongside islands with a stronger emphasis on nature, local culture or independent exploration. The range also includes Guyana, giving travellers scope to combine a coastal holiday with a very different landscape. Its holiday styles cover families, couples and solo travellers, with options for all-inclusive stays, spa breaks and nature-led journeys. Island hopping is a particular thread, bringing together places that differ in language, scenery and pace. Advisors can discuss the practical implications of these combinations, including flight connections and how much time to allow in each destination. The planning process begins with a conversation about interests and requirements, followed by proposed arrangements that can be refined before booking. Consultations can take place in the office, over the telephone or by email. This personal approach makes the agency a useful point of contact for both straightforward beach holidays and Caribbean itineraries involving several separate elements.

143. Graycliff Restaurant

     Nassau, Bahamas

     Graycliff Restaurant occupies a historic mansion on West Hill Street in old Nassau, close to Government House. Tropical gardens and a sequence of intimate rooms create a sense of retreat from the streets outside, while the building’s character gives dinner the atmosphere of an evening in a substantial Bahamian home. The cooking combines continental traditions with Bahamian influences, drawing the island setting into a formal restaurant format. Menus change with the season, and the kitchen also offers structured wine luncheons and private dining. These different approaches allow guests to choose between a conventional meal and a more focused experience centred on food and wine. The cellar is a defining feature, with an extensive collection that underpins the restaurant’s wine service. Organised visits and private meals provide opportunities to explore it in more detail. Elsewhere on the property, chocolate-making, cigar production and Bahama Barrels add further dimensions to a visit. For travellers interested in Nassau beyond the beach, Graycliff connects dining with the architecture, craftsmanship and cultivated hospitality of the older city.

144. Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

     St Andrews, United Kingdom

     The Old Course Hotel stands beside the Road Hole in St Andrews, placing guests within the landscape of the Old Course itself. Its position combines views of golf, West Sands and the Fife coast with access to the town's streets and historic buildings. Rooms and suites balance traditional comfort with contemporary details, and many look across the fairways or towards the sea. For golfers, the attraction is both practical and atmospheric. The hotel offers golf packages and assistance with nearby courses, while its elevated restaurants and bars allow the day's play to continue as conversation over the landscape. A room reservation should not be treated as an automatic Old Course tee time, since access to that course follows its own booking arrangements. Kohler Waters Spa provides a substantial alternative to time outside, with water-based facilities, treatments and fitness space. Dining ranges from the Road Hole Restaurant to the more informal Jigger Inn, giving a stay several different settings. The combination works equally well for a dedicated golf trip or a mixed itinerary that includes the beach, university town and surrounding coastline.

145. Eden Rock Villa Rental

     St Jean, Saint Barthélemy

     Eden Rock Villa Rental brings together privately owned houses across Saint Barthélemy, supported by a team based at St Jean. The portfolio extends from contemporary hillside villas overlooking the bays to properties closer to the beach, offering different ways to experience the island. It is a collection of individual homes, so location and layout are central to choosing a suitable stay. The villas vary in size and character, with terraces, pools and indoor and outdoor living spaces featuring prominently across the range. Some are designed for couples, while others provide several bedrooms for families or groups of friends. The team can advise on practical differences such as stepped access, bedroom separation and the distance from restaurants and shops. Services include concierge support and breakfast arrangements, with private chefs, butlers and drivers available according to the villa and booking. This creates scope for quiet meals at home alongside days exploring the island’s beaches and dining scene. The appeal lies in combining an independent household setting with local assistance, while keeping the choice of neighbourhood and style of villa firmly in the traveller’s hands.

147. Frantzén

     Sweden

     Frantzén is Björn Frantzén's flagship restaurant in central Stockholm, offering a seasonal tasting menu grounded in Nordic cooking with Japanese influences. Opened in 2008, the restaurant now accommodates just 23 diners within a townhouse whose three floors shape the progression of the visit. The experience moves between the entrance level, dining room and lounge in the loft, giving the meal several distinct settings. Drinks can be matched through alcoholic or non-alcoholic pairings, while the set menu allows the kitchen to follow seasonal ingredients through a connected sequence of courses.

148. Four Seasons Resort Nevis

     Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis

     Four Seasons Resort Nevis offers a range of wedding settings between Pinney’s Beach and the lower slopes of Nevis Peak. The coastal estate combines gardens, a golf course and a long shoreline, creating several distinct backdrops within one property. Couples can choose a ceremony that feels closely connected to the beach or one shaped by the island’s greenery and history. The 18th Lawn looks towards the Caribbean, while South Beach provides a setting close to the sand. The resort pier places the water around the gathering, and an old sugar mill introduces stone architecture and elevated views. Indoor reception rooms and terraces offer further choices, allowing the wedding day to move between different spaces as its atmosphere changes. Resort planners help coordinate the ceremony, dining and event details. Guest accommodation includes rooms, suites, villas and residences, with the latter useful for families or friends travelling together. Between celebrations, guests can use the pools, beach, restaurants, spa and sporting facilities. The breadth of venues and accommodation makes it possible to shape both an intimate occasion and a larger shared holiday around the same Nevis base.

149. Mingles

     South Korea

     Mingles is chef Mingoo Kang’s interpretation of Korean culinary traditions through a modern tasting menu. In Gangnam, the restaurant uses seasonal ingredients to develop layered flavours, with restraint and detail shaping the experience. The dining room follows the same approach. Warm wood tones, generous spacing between tables and Korean design references create a quiet setting in which the food can remain the focus. The menu develops traditional Korean ideas through contemporary technique rather than relying on spectacle. That gives diners an opportunity to consider how familiar ingredients and culinary philosophy can be expressed in a different format. For visitors interested in Seoul’s modern restaurant culture, Mingles offers a clear connection between Korean identity, seasonality and a carefully paced meal.

150. Bellagio Resort & Casino

     Las Vegas, United States

     Bellagio occupies a prominent position on the Las Vegas Strip, with its hotel towers rising behind a lake and choreographed fountains. The approach draws on the atmosphere of an Italian lakeside resort, while the interiors add a more theatrical scale. Glass flowers above the lobby and the Conservatory’s changing botanical displays give the public spaces a strong visual identity. Accommodation includes rooms and suites with different outlooks, including categories facing the fountains. The pool courtyard provides a quieter outdoor setting, with cabanas and landscaped areas for time in the sun. A spa and salon extend the options for a slower day, and the hotel’s art programme adds another reason to explore beyond the room. The casino brings together table games, slot machines and more private gaming areas. Restaurants range in style, with several using the lake as part of their setting, while bars and lounges support a varied evening. Cirque du Soleil’s aquatic production O is staged at the property. Bellagio’s distinctive quality is the way these elements are gathered around water, gardens and art within a busy resort at the centre of the Strip.

151. Chamonix

     French Alps

     Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is a mountain town in Haute-Savoie, set beneath the Mont Blanc massif. Its valley brings together ski areas, alpine villages and routes for walking, climbing and cycling, with a strong connection to the history of mountaineering. Cable cars provide access to high viewpoints, including the Aiguille du Midi and the slopes facing Mont Blanc at Brévent and Flégère. The Montenvers railway leads towards the Mer de Glace, adding a glacier excursion to the valley’s activities. Summer walking routes range from lower-level trails to demanding mountain terrain, while winter brings skiing and snowboarding across several areas. Museums and village streets offer ways to explore the valley’s culture alongside its outdoor landscape.

152. Central

     Lima

     Central in Barranco explores Peru through its ecosystems and changes in altitude, moving from the sea and coastal valleys to the Andes, cloud forests and Amazon. Research by Mater connects ingredients with their natural settings and the knowledge of local communities, artists and researchers. The Mundo en Desnivel tasting menu follows 12 ecosystems through 32 preparations, giving each stage a distinct geographical context. Pairings include South American wines and cocktails, a wider selection of international wines, and alcohol-free nectars and extracts made from flowers, roots and herbs. An extended immersion offers access to Central's creative work, while Theobromas Lab concentrates on Amazonian cacao.

153. Resorts World Sentosa

     Sentosa, Singapore

     Resorts World Sentosa brings hotels, attractions, restaurants and a casino together on Singapore’s Sentosa island. It is a collection of different places to stay and spend time, with the choice of hotel shaping the atmosphere of a visit. The setting allows a city break to take on more of a resort rhythm while remaining connected to the rest of Singapore. Accommodation options include The Laurus, Hotel Ora, Hotel Michael and Equarius Hotel, each with its own design and facilities. This variety matters for travellers choosing between proximity to attractions, a quieter environment or a particular room style. Dining also spans several formats, from straightforward meals during an active day to restaurants that make an evening’s main occasion. The resort’s casino sits within a programme that includes Universal Studios Singapore, Singapore Oceanarium and Adventure Cove Waterpark. WEAVE adds shopping and places to eat, while events and exhibitions bring further variety. Resorts World Sentosa is especially useful for travelling parties with different interests, offering scope to share accommodation and meals while following separate activities. Planning around the hotel and attractions most relevant to the group makes the large complex easier to navigate.

154. KOL

     London, UK

     KOL is a restaurant in London, UK.

155. Disfrutar

     Spain

     Disfrutar is the Barcelona restaurant of Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas, located at Carrer de Villarroel 163 in the Eixample. Its official pages identify it as operating under MAEDOR TRES, S.L. and note that it opened in December 2014. The restaurant is booked only through its own website, which positions it as a single, clearly defined destination rather than part of a broader chain. The dining offer is centred on tasting menus rather than an à la carte list. The current site presents Disfrutar Classic and Disfrutar Festival, together with a wine pairing prepared by the sommeliers. It also describes Table M#01, a living-table experience set in the R&D kitchen on the lower floor, showing that some guests are placed in a more intimate kitchen-adjacent format within the restaurant. Disfrutar’s style reflects the chefs’ shared background at elBulli and a strong focus on inventive technique. The restaurant encourages guests to choose the menu without reading every detail in advance, which suggests a deliberately guided meal built around surprise, progression and presentation. Its own wording points to a kitchen-led experience in which texture, pace and visual elements are part of the offer, rather than simple dish-by-dish selection. Operationally, the restaurant presents itself as fully active and bookable, with reservations available up to twelve months ahead. The booking system confirms a table, although not a specific location, which indicates a structured service model with variable seating. A published team page also points to a substantial front-of-house and kitchen operation supporting the dining room, while the overall experience remains tightly controlled through the restaurant’s official channels.

156. Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention

     Singapore, Singapore

     Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention forms part of the waterfront resort facing Singapore's Marina Bay. Its position places exhibition halls and meeting spaces alongside hotels, restaurants, shops and cultural attractions, allowing organisers to build a programme that extends beyond the conference floor. The setting is urban and highly connected, with the bayfront promenade providing a useful change of pace between sessions. The venue accommodates a wide range of formats through exhibition floors, ballrooms and meeting rooms of different sizes. Spaces can support large conventions, trade shows, corporate dinners and smaller board meetings, with service areas and audiovisual facilities arranged around the demands of complex events. The range of rooms allows plenary presentations, breakout discussions and hospitality to operate within one connected development. Outside the formal programme, delegates have access to the resort's varied dining scene and the surrounding Marina Bay district. The ArtScience Museum and nearby Gardens by the Bay provide options for cultural visits and companion itineraries. For conference travellers, the principal attraction is the concentration of facilities: accommodation, business sessions, evening meals and leisure time can be organised around a single waterfront base, with the wider city available by rail or taxi.

157. Som Saa

     London, UK

     Som Saa is a restaurant in London, UK.

158. Gaggan

     Thailand

     Gaggan is a restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand, at 68 Sukhumvit 31, Sukhumvit Road, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana. The official site identifies it as “Gaggan” and describes the venue as a food theatre serving progressive Indian cuisine, while the MICHELIN Guide lists it separately as an innovative restaurant at the same address, confirming the exact branch and current operation in this location. The dining room is centred on a 14-seat L-shaped counter, so the experience is counter-focused rather than conventional table service. MICHELIN describes up to 25 inventive courses presented across five theatrical acts, with shifting lights and a soundtrack shaping the meal as a performance. The restaurant’s own wording also stresses an analogue, multi-sensory approach built around surprise, sound and light. On the practical side, the restaurant keeps its own bookings, accepts credit cards and provides air conditioning and car parking. The site gives opening days as Thursday to Monday, with Tuesday and Wednesday closed. The official contact details include a Bangkok telephone number and the same Sukhumvit 31 address used across its pages, which helps distinguish this specific operation from any wider Gaggan brand activity. Taken together, the evidence points to a deliberately staged fine-dining room with a compact counter, a narrative tasting format and a strong focus on atmosphere as well as flavour. The restaurant’s setting in Watthana places it within one of Bangkok’s main dining districts, but its identity is defined less by locale than by a tightly controlled, theatrical service style and an explicitly progressive culinary brief.

159. Silversea

     Monaco, Monaco

     Silversea combines small-ship ocean cruising with expedition voyages to more remote parts of the world. Its itineraries extend from Mediterranean ports and northern European coastlines to polar waters and the Galápagos, with different ships designed for different kinds of travel. The common thread is an all-suite approach, with ocean views and a level of personal service that includes a dedicated butler. On the classic ocean ships, restaurants, lounges and open decks create a varied daily rhythm without the scale of a large resort vessel. Dining ranges across several cuisines, and selected ships feature the S.A.L.T. programme, which connects food and drink with the destinations on the itinerary. Suite layouts and facilities vary, making the individual ship an important part of choosing a voyage. Expedition journeys place greater emphasis on natural history, guided landings and access to landscapes that are difficult to reach independently. Elsewhere, shore excursions and land programmes introduce local culture, architecture and food. Time at sea provides space for dining, reading, conversation and views from the decks. Silversea suits travellers seeking a considered balance between comfortable shipboard living and an itinerary with a clear sense of discovery.

160. Jumeirah Al Naseem

     Dubai

     Jumeirah Al Naseem brings a contemporary beachfront character to Dubai's Madinat Jumeirah estate. Rooms have balconies or terraces facing the resort or Gulf, with pale colours, timber details and sliding partitions carrying the coastal design indoors. Gardens include palm-lined paths, lily ponds and shaded courtyards. The Turtle Lagoon gives the hotel an unusual conservation focus, caring for rescued sea turtles before their return to the Gulf. A private beach and swimming pools provide separate recreation, while dining includes Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei cooking at Kayto and Mediterranean seafood at Rockfish. Guests can also use facilities across the wider estate, including Talise Spa and the waterways linking its hotels and restaurants.

161. ZIMA

     London, UK

     ZIMA is a restaurant in London, UK.

162. Raja Ampat

     Southwest Papua, Indonesia

     Raja Ampat spreads across the seas of Southwest Papua, where forested limestone islands rise above sheltered lagoons and channels. Below the surface, reef slopes, coral gardens and current-fed passages create a diverse setting for diving. The destination is an archipelago rather than a single resort, and the choice of island base or liveaboard route shapes both the underwater programme and the experience between dives. The Dampier Strait includes sites such as Cape Kri, Sardine Reef and Mike's Point, while Misool offers another distinct cluster of islands and reefs farther south. Divers come for the combination of coral structure, schooling fish and the possibility of larger marine encounters. Conditions vary across sites, so local knowledge is central to choosing a suitable daily route. Above water, boat journeys reveal a landscape of steep green islands, village shorelines and narrow passages. Accommodation ranges from simple island bases to specialist dive resorts, with liveaboards providing access to more dispersed areas. Travel here rewards allowing time for transfers and changing conditions. Raja Ampat is particularly suited to visitors who want their trip to revolve around the marine environment, with the scenery and remoteness remaining part of the experience throughout the day.

163. Wing

     Hong Kong

     Wing is a restaurant in Hong Kong.

164. Sydney Opera House

     Sydney, Australia

     Sydney Opera House occupies Bennelong Point, with its sculptural roofs rising above the harbour between the city and the Royal Botanic Garden. The building is both an architectural landmark and a working arts centre, offering performances across music, theatre, dance and other disciplines. Its position makes arrival part of the experience, with ferries, the Harbour Bridge and the waterfront visible around the podium. Inside, the Concert Hall and Joan Sutherland Theatre provide substantial performance settings, while smaller venues create more intimate encounters. The Utzon Room combines a harbour-facing window wall with a tapestry designed by the architect, giving it a particularly distinctive character. Foyers and dedicated function spaces also accommodate receptions, private events and gatherings that make use of the building's views. Guided visits offer an introduction to the architecture and the activity behind the performances, while restaurants and outdoor dining areas extend a visit beyond the auditorium. The surrounding promenade is rewarding even without a ticket, but seeing a production reveals the building's continuing purpose. Sydney Opera House suits travellers who want to connect a celebrated piece of architecture with the experience of live performance in its intended setting.

165. Hannover Exhibition Grounds

     Hanover, Germany

     Hannover Exhibition Grounds is a purpose-built campus for large trade fairs, congresses and public events on the southern side of Hanover. Managed by Deutsche Messe, it brings together extensive halls, outdoor display areas and conference facilities. Its scale is balanced by open spaces, planting and varied buildings, so the experience changes noticeably between a busy exhibition concourse and a quieter part of the grounds. The halls accommodate everything from industrial equipment and technology demonstrations to consumer exhibitions. Separate entrances and service routes support complex installations, while meeting facilities allow exhibitors to combine a stand with presentations or smaller business gatherings. The H'Up venue adds a contemporary setting for events that incorporate studio production and digital participation, broadening the campus beyond a conventional row of exhibition booths. Visitors should use the entrance specified by their event, as walking distances can be substantial when several halls are in use. Public transport connects the grounds with Hanover, where the city centre offers hotels, restaurants and time away from the fair. This is a destination shaped by the event itself, with its strongest character emerging when products, ideas and specialist communities fill the halls.

166. Akoko

     London, UK

     Akoko is a restaurant in London, UK.

167. 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana

     Hong Kong

     8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana is a restaurant in Hong Kong.

168. Estiatorio Milos

     New York, USA

     Estiatorio Milos is a Greek restaurant in Midtown Manhattan at 125 West 55th Street, where the New York branch occupies a large, airy dining room with high ceilings. The restaurant presents a polished central Manhattan setting while grounding its identity in Greek hospitality, expressed through the idea of philoxenia and food designed for sharing at the table. That combination gives the space a distinctly urban character while linking the meal to a recognisably Greek cultural approach. The food at this branch is centred on seafood, with the Midtown menu showing both raw and cooked options. Dishes listed include Milos octopus, calamari, Mediterranean fish soup, salmon tartare and whole grilled fish, alongside salads and vegetable dishes that support the fish-led offering. The broader Milos philosophy also emphasises careful use of ingredients and Greek staples such as olive oil, shaping a style of cooking that appears direct, ingredient-focused and rooted in the restaurant’s Greek identity. In practical terms, the Midtown restaurant serves lunch and dinner, making it suitable for both daytime meals and evening dining in the theatre and business district. The branch also offers takeout. For larger gatherings, the events information states that both the restaurant and the Lower Level can be used for private functions. That adds a second layer to the operation, allowing the venue to host receptions, group meals and other organised occasions beyond its regular restaurant service. The setting for events is described as expansive, with windows onto West 55th Street, while the main restaurant retains the open scale suggested by its high ceilings and airy layout. Taken together, these features present a branch that is as much about atmosphere as menu focus: a composed Midtown dining room shaped by Greek hospitality and a seafood-based kitchen. It works as a formal yet welcoming restaurant, with enough flexibility to accommodate everyday dining as well as private entertaining.

169. Le Cinq

     France

     Le Cinq gives Christian Le Squer’s contemporary French cooking an appropriately grand setting within Four Seasons Hotel George V. Marble columns, pale flowers and gold-toned chairs frame tables laid with china, silver and linen created for the hotel. The Brittany-born chef’s background appears in dishes such as sea bass with caviar and buttermilk, while a carefully constructed spaghetti gratin combines truffle, ham and artichoke. Dublin Bay prawns with buckwheat pancakes offer another expression of the kitchen’s balance between familiar ingredients and refined technique. Guests can explore the à la carte or tasting menu, with wine service drawing on the hotel’s celebrated cellar and a carefully selected range of bottles.

171. Dubai Creek Resort

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Dubai Creek Resort is a luxurious golf resort that offers stunning views of the Dubai skyline and the Arabian Gulf. The resort features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Thomas Bjorn, a golf academy, a clubhouse, a spa, and a range of dining options. The resort is also close to the Dubai International Airport and the city’s attractions.

172. Jade Mountain Sanctuary Infinity Pools

     Soufrière, Saint Lucia

     At Jade Mountain, the private infinity pool forms part of the room itself. The resort's open-sided sanctuaries face Saint Lucia's Pitons and the Caribbean, with bedroom, sitting area and pool arranged as a continuous space. Stone columns and individual access bridges give the architecture a distinctive character, while the missing fourth wall keeps the landscape present from morning until night. The pools belong to the Star, Moon, Sun and Galaxy sanctuary categories, each offering its own relationship between water, interior and view. Their infinity edges draw the eye towards the mountains rather than a conventional enclosed garden. This is an intimate swimming experience built around privacy and stillness, with the changing colours of sea and sky providing much of the atmosphere. Sky suites are a different accommodation category and do not have private pools. Guests can combine time in their sanctuary with dining at the Jade Mountain Club, treatments and activities around the Anse Chastanet estate below. Beaches and water sports provide an alternative to the hillside setting. Choosing the appropriate sanctuary is essential, since the pool experience is tied directly to the accommodation reserved.

173. Sobrino de Botín

     Madrid, Spain

     Sobrino de Botín is the long-established restaurant at c/ Cuchilleros 17 in central Madrid, in the Madrid-Sol district and the historic Madrid de los Austrias area. Its official history presents the house as founded in 1725, while Madrid’s tourism body describes it as a traditional Castilian-Madrilenian restaurant in the city centre. The address, age and setting combine to make the dining room itself part of the experience, with a sense of continuity closely tied to Madrid’s old urban fabric. The kitchen is framed by classic Spanish regional cooking rather than contemporary reinvention. Botín’s menu is organised into roasts, starters, eggs, fish, soups, vegetables and desserts, and the house particularly promotes suckling pig and lamb roasted in the Castilian manner. Other listed dishes include entrecôte a la plancha, solomillo, escalope de ternera and perdiz estofada. This points to a broad, familiar repertoire built around hearty preparations and straightforward cooking traditions. Botín’s own history pages describe how the building evolved over time, including periods when dining occupied only the entrance and first floor while the cellar served storage. That layered use gives the restaurant a notably historic character, shaped by age and adaptation rather than redesign. The result is an atmosphere associated with a long-running Madrid house of hospitality, where the building’s past remains visible in the story of the place as much as in the food. The restaurant states daily service from 13:00 to 23:30 and provides reservations through its official website and by phone. It also identifies itself as a family business, with Madrid’s tourism information noting management by the fourth generation of the González family. Together, these verified details suggest an established operation that pairs long-held routines with a central location and a menu rooted in traditional Spanish dining, rather than a concept built around novelty or trend-led presentation.

174. Gerbou

     Dubai, UAE

     Gerbou is a restaurant in Dubai, UAE.

175. Marques Brownlee (MKBHD)

     United States

     Marques Brownlee is the technology reviewer and video producer behind MKBHD. His work examines the devices people use in everyday life, with smartphones, headphones, computers and electric vehicles among the recurring subjects. Carefully lit product photography and a measured presentation give the channel a consistent identity, while demonstrations translate specifications into questions about how a product actually works. The focus extends beyond a first impression. Reviews consider design, features and practical compromises, giving viewers a way to compare technologies without needing specialist knowledge. Interviews and wider discussions bring manufacturers, product decisions and the direction of the industry into the conversation. Brownlee’s official platform also connects audiences with Auto Focus, which applies a similar interest in technology to vehicles. Waveform adds a conversational dimension through podcast discussions of consumer technology and related news. The Studio turns attention towards the people and production work behind the videos. Together, these projects provide several routes into the same subject, from a concise product review to a longer discussion or a look at the process of filming. The distinctive thread is an interest in clear explanation supported by precise visual presentation.

176. Santorini

     Santorini, Greece

     Santorini is shaped by the meeting of volcanic rock and the Aegean Sea. Whitewashed settlements follow the rim of its caldera, with steep cliffs dropping towards the water and neighbouring volcanic islets. Fira and Oia offer the familiar views, but the island’s character also emerges in smaller villages, agricultural land and beaches coloured by its geological history. A stay can move between caldera terraces, coastal walks and time beside black or red volcanic sand. The position of a hotel matters: a room facing the caldera offers a different experience from a base near the island’s more open eastern shoreline. Exploring beyond the main viewpoints brings changes in pace and a closer look at the architecture of villages set among the slopes. Food and wine provide another route into the landscape. The island’s dry conditions support distinctive crops, including vines, tomatoes and yellow split peas, which appear in local cooking. Tomato fritters, aubergine dishes and Santorini wines give meals a strong sense of place. Allowing time for a village lunch or a visit to a producer adds substance to a journey that might otherwise revolve around the view alone.

177. Bread Street Kitchen

     Dubai, UAE

     Bread Street Kitchen & Bar is Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai, where the resort presents it as a modern British dining venue. Within Atlantis’ wider restaurant collection, it is identified as a family-friendly option with a casual dress code, pointing to an approachable style rather than a formal setting. The focus is on recognisable British cooking in a lively environment, giving the restaurant a clear identity within one of Dubai’s best-known resort destinations for visitors and residents alike. Atlantis describes the food here as modern British classics, with several dishes singled out as signatures. Beef Wellington is one of the most prominent, joined by fish and chips and a traditional Sunday roast with the trimmings. Those references establish a menu shaped by familiar comfort dishes interpreted through a contemporary restaurant format. Rather than presenting an especially broad culinary brief, the restaurant is defined by well-known British favourites, giving the meal a distinct character that is easy to understand before arriving. The restaurant also appears in named dining formats that build on those core dishes. Atlantis lists Wellington Wednesdays and Ramsay’s Sunday Roast, both of which centre on items already associated with the kitchen’s British identity. Separate resort information also includes Bread Street Kitchen in its family-friendly Friday brunch selection, showing that the venue is used for more than standard à la carte meals. Atlantis further highlights Sunset Sips among the experiences connected with the restaurant, adding a drinks-led element alongside the food offering. Taken together, these details present Bread Street Kitchen & Bar as an accessible restaurant shaped by recognisable dishes, sociable occasions and the broader appeal of Atlantis, The Palm. Its role within the resort is not only to serve meals but also to host recurring formats that encourage group dining and relaxed gatherings. The combination of modern British cuisine, family-friendly positioning and casual dress expectations suggests a polished yet straightforward experience, centred on established favourites rather than on tasting-menu formality or a highly specialised concept.

178. Mezzaluna

     Thailand

     Mezzaluna looks across Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River from its elevated setting at lebua. The restaurant combines Japanese ingredients with French culinary technique, giving its cooking a clearly defined relationship between produce and preparation. Chef Ryuki Kawasaki’s approach brings those influences together through a considered dining sequence. Fine wines accompany the food, while the panoramic outlook adds a sense of occasion to the room. This is an address for diners who want to make dinner a central part of the evening. The attraction lies in the meeting of Japanese ingredients and French methods, experienced with a broad view of the city that provides a distinct Bangkok setting for an internationally minded kitchen.

179. Royalton Splash Punta Cana - Diamond Club Luxury Presidential Jacuzzi One Bedroom Suite

     Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

     The Diamond Club Luxury Presidential Jacuzzi One Bedroom Suite gives families a more spacious base at Royalton Splash Punta Cana. Set within the resort's tropical grounds, the accommodation has a separate bedroom and sitting area, with two private balconies overlooking the gardens or swimming pools. The arrangement allows a day at the water park to end with a quieter interval back in the suite. A king bed and Jacuzzi tub are defining features, while the balconies provide room to sit outdoors without leaving the accommodation. Diamond Club benefits include butler assistance, a private lounge and access to a dedicated beach area. This is a garden or pool view category, and the beach is a short walk from the resort rather than immediately outside the suite. Choosing between the advertised outlooks helps set expectations for the stay. The wider property is designed around family activities, particularly its water park, with slides, a wave pool and splash areas. Children and teenagers have their own clubs, while restaurants, fitness activities and evening entertainment offer alternatives to time in the water. The suite's distinctive advantage is the combination of separate indoor spaces, two balconies and additional service within a busy, activity filled all-inclusive resort.

180. Hamad International Airport

     Doha, Qatar

     Hamad International Airport is Doha's main international gateway and the hub of Qatar Airways. Its large concourses are organised around more than the mechanics of a transfer, with public art, landscaped spaces and a substantial choice of dining and retail giving passengers reasons to explore. The airport can serve as either a direct arrival point for Qatar or a pause between longer flights. The Orchard is a particularly distinctive feature: an indoor tropical garden beneath a roof that draws natural light into the central concourse. Trees, planting and water create a softer setting alongside shops and restaurants. Elsewhere, artworks act as landmarks within the terminal, making the building's scale easier to understand while adding a cultural dimension to the journey. Travellers with time to spare can consider lounges, the airport hotel and fitness or wellness facilities, with access conditions and charges varying. Ground transport includes taxis, buses and the Doha Metro for journeys into the city. Hamad's appeal lies in the way it combines a major connecting operation with spaces designed for a slower pace. Planning around the departure gate leaves room to enjoy those facilities without losing sight of the onward flight.

181. Asil at Rixos JBR

     Dubai, UAE

     Asil Dubai is a premier Turkish restaurant nestled within the Rixos Premium Dubai hotel, offering a contemporary dining experience infused with authentic Turkish flavors and hospitality.

With live entertainment adding to the vibrant atmosphere, Asil Dubai provides an immersive culinary journey and exceptional service, making it a sought-after destination for both locals and visitors seeking an unforgettable Turkish dining experience in Dubai.

182. Muirfield, The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers

     Gullane, United Kingdom

     Muirfield lies near Gullane on the East Lothian coast, where the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers has been based since 1891. The club's history reaches further back to Leith and Musselburgh, but its present home is defined by open linksland, carefully placed bunkers and a clubhouse with deeply established golfing traditions. This is a course where position and changing wind matter throughout the round. Old Tom Morris created the original layout, with Harry Colt later reshaping it. The routing turns in different directions rather than simply following the coast out and back, exposing players to a variety of conditions. Fairways and greens favour accurate placement, while the rough and bunkering make careless decisions expensive. The result is a sustained examination of strategy and execution. Muirfield welcomes visiting golfers on designated days, with advance booking essential and published handicap and dress requirements to observe. Clubhouse dining is an integral part of the experience, giving the visit a rhythm that extends beyond eighteen holes. Its location also suits a wider exploration of East Lothian's coastal villages and golf courses.

183. Four Seasons Resort Nevis

     Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis

     Four Seasons Resort Nevis stretches along Pinney’s Beach, with Nevis Peak rising behind its gardens and the Caribbean opening out in front. The setting brings together a broad beach, landscaped grounds and easy access to Charlestown, giving the resort a sense of connection to the island beyond its own facilities. Rooms and suites look towards the sea, gardens or mountain, with balconies and patios extending the living space outdoors. The accommodation also includes villas and residences scattered through the grounds and along the golf course. This range allows couples, families and larger groups to choose between a conventional resort room and a more independent home with shared gathering space.

Pools, a spa, racquet sports and an eighteen-hole golf course provide plenty to do on land.

184. Rules

     London, UK

     Rules is a long-established restaurant at 35 Maiden Lane in Covent Garden, London, with a West End address that places it among the theatres and streets around the market district. The restaurant presents itself as London’s oldest restaurant and says it has remained in the hands of only four families across more than two centuries. Despite that heritage, it operates as a current dining venue, with a smart dress preference and a daytime welcome for families that shapes a formal but not forbidding atmosphere. The food offering centres on traditional British cooking. Current menu pages show dishes built around recognisable staples such as oysters, pies and puddings, alongside a notable emphasis on game. Rather than fixing the kitchen to a static historical list, the menus also include seasonal dishes, so the meal changes with availability while staying grounded in established British flavours. Drinks are part of the experience too, with separate wine and cocktail lists supporting anything from a straightforward lunch to a more extended dinner in Covent Garden. The dining rooms are a large part of Rules’ character. Established descriptions and the restaurant’s presentation point to interiors with dark wood panelling, red velvet seating, and walls filled with paintings, drawings and cartoons. That layered decoration gives the place a distinctly historic mood without turning it into a museum piece. It remains a working restaurant, and the visual richness of the rooms contributes to a sense of occasion whether guests are visiting for a pre-theatre meal, a business lunch or a celebratory dinner. Beyond the main restaurant, Rules also offers private spaces for smaller gatherings. The private-events information names the Graham Greene room and a room associated with Sir John Betjeman, both used for intimate meals, meetings and special occasions. These spaces come with practical support including bespoke menus, Wi-Fi and a 42-inch screen, which makes them suitable for gatherings that need more than a dining table alone. Together, the principal dining room and the private rooms give Rules the feel of a restaurant with both ceremony and everyday function.

The site’s story page presents the concept as a blend of restaurant and homey café, shaped around Lebanese hospitality and an all-day dining feel. The menu is broad and strongly rooted in Lebanese cooking. The UAE menu includes breakfast platters, eggs, labneh, hummus, foul, fatteh, salads, cold and hot mezze, raw meat dishes, grilled items, daily dishes, sandwiches and children’s dishes. This indicates a venue that can serve both a light café meal and a fuller lunch or dinner, with a particular emphasis on shared mezze and grill plates. Official descriptions also point to a live cooking element, with a show kitchen integrated into the dining experience. The menu pages show a wide spread of dishes such as tabbouleh, fattoush, kebbeh, shish taouk, kafta, shawarma and assorted pastries, alongside Lebanese coffee and tea pairings for breakfast sets.

In practical terms, Al Beiruti appears to suit guests looking for a sociable meal with a substantial range of Lebanese staples, from breakfast through to grilled mains and desserts. Its Dubai branches are presented as part of a wider regional operation, yet the verified material for this profile centres on the UAE locations and the restaurant’s menu-led, café-style character.

Official pages identify it as a three-star restaurant led by chef Gérald Passedat. Its identity is closely tied to the city and the Mediterranean, with cooking presented as a reflection of the coastline, local waters and the products of the southern market rather than a generic French dining room. The dining room is described as facing the sea, with a sober, elegant décor that keeps attention on the horizon and the building’s waterfront position. The restaurant is part of a 5-star hotel, but the experience itself remains centred on the restaurant space and its maritime outlook. That combination of restrained interior treatment and direct sea setting gives the property a distinctive sense of place within Marseille’s coastal landscape.

Examples cited on the official site include denti, daurade, pélamide, merlan, pagre and murène, all handled as ultra-fresh fish. Bouillabaisse is an emblematic dish here, reworked by Gérald Passedat into a structured service built around fish, seafood, seasonal vegetables and wine pairings. Overall, Le Petit Nice Passedat presents itself as a seafood-led address shaped by precision and locality. The cooking is framed around the rhythms of the market and the Mediterranean, while the setting adds a strong visual connection to the coast.

It serves dinner midweek to Sunday and brunch at weekends, with the tone described as relaxed yet refined.

Dinner spans breads, spreads, flatbreads, starters, basteeya, entrées and sides, with dishes such as bread with aziza butter and za’atar, charred prawns, mussels, grilled octopus and kefta brochette. Larger plates include braised lamb shank, shakshuka, couscous, whole grilled branzino, roasted heritage chicken and short rib tangia. The menu structure suggests a full-service restaurant where small dishes and substantial mains share equal weight. Brunch adds items such as beghrir pancakes, custard French toast, soft scrambled eggs, eggs benedict, shakshuka and grilled prawns, so the restaurant covers both lighter morning fare and more substantial plates. The site also lists cocktails and wine, indicating a drinks programme that sits alongside the food rather than a separate bar-led format. Reservations are accepted through the restaurant’s own website.

The company’s official locations page identifies both branches, and its own background describes The Athenian as a London-founded business that began in 2014 as a market stall before growing into a wider network of sites across the city. Its menu is built around Greek gyros, souvlaki and halloumi fries, alongside chicken, pork and plant-based choices. The food pages also show Greek bowls, wraps, boxes and sweet items such as baklavá, with allergen and nutritional information available for customers who want more detail. The business says dishes are freshly made to order and that ingredients are sourced from partners in Greece and the UK. The restaurants operate in a casual counter-service style, with food ordered over the counter, collected, or delivered. The White City branch also offers table booking through the official site. The company has updated its restaurants with digital screen menus and an easier self-checkout setup, while also using biodegradable, plastic-free packaging for orders. These details point to a quick, streamlined dining format rather than a formal one. Overall, The Athenian presents itself as a modern Greek eatery with a straightforward city-restaurant character. Its London locations, fast-casual service and menu focused on familiar Greek street-food dishes make it suitable for a quick lunch, relaxed dinner or takeaway. The emphasis on fresh preparation, practical ordering and a menu shaped around wraps, bowls and platters gives the business a simple, contemporary feel in central London.

198. Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel

     Maundays Bay, Anguilla

     Cap Juluca sets weddings along the curve of Maundays Bay on Anguilla’s southern coast. White domes, arches and low buildings frame a broad beach, giving the property a recognisable architectural setting as well as an open view of the sea. Its layout keeps the shore close to the accommodation and many of the places where guests gather. The beach offers a natural location for vows, while the event pavilion provides a more structured setting with views across the bay. Receptions and private dinners can be shaped around the size and style of the occasion, with the events team advising on menus and practical arrangements. The resort also accommodates smaller celebrations, allowing a wedding to remain personal without requiring a large guest list. Rooms and suites give visiting friends and family a base for a longer Anguilla stay.

199. Carbone

     New York, USA

     Carbone is the New York branch of the Italian-American restaurant at 181 Thompson Street in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. The official Carbone NYC pages identify it as the original location and give the city dining room’s contact details, so this entry refers to the specific restaurant rather than the wider brand. Its position in a well-known downtown neighbourhood suits a destination dining room built around formal service and a strong sense of occasion. The restaurant’s food is framed around Italian-American cooking shaped by Little Italy traditions and mid-century New York influences. Official descriptions present it as a polished take on familiar red-sauce dining, with a menu structure that includes starters, pasta, seafood and desserts. That approach suggests a meal designed for lingering rather than casual drop-in eating, with classic flavours given a more theatrical and elevated treatment. Carbone’s room is presented as glamorous rather than rustic, with a design language that mixes old-world references and contemporary polish. The restaurant highlights charismatic service, tuxedoed captains and artwork by Julian Schnabel, while the official copy also refers to its classic Italian and mid-century New York inspiration. Together those elements point to a highly styled dining room with a formal, visually distinctive atmosphere. Practical details on the official site show lunch and dinner service, reservations through the restaurant and approved booking channels, and non-private arrangements for groups of nine to eighteen. Carbone also states a corkage fee and a dress code that excludes shorts, open-toed shoes and tank tops. Those policies reinforce its structured, carefully managed character and make it best understood as a formal restaurant for planned meals rather than a casual neighbourhood stop.

200. Jungsik

     South Korea

     Jungsik is the Seoul branch of Jungsik Yim’s contemporary Korean restaurant, set at 11 Seolleung-ro 158-gil in Gangnam-gu. The official site presents it as part of a Seoul-and-New York identity built around “New Korean” cuisine, while the Michelin Guide places the restaurant at the same Gangnam address and treats it as a Korean fine-dining destination. The result is a clearly defined flagship that frames modern Korean cooking within an urbane Seoul setting. The restaurant’s food offering centres on tasting menus rather than an à la carte format. Current official listings show lunch and dinner courses, and vegetarian dining is available only by advance pre-order. The menu changes are reflected in dishes such as octopus, abalone, black cod, duck, Hanwoo galbi and gamtae guksu, with optional supplements including all-in-one gimbap and sea urchin gujeolpan. This points to a kitchen working with premium ingredients and composed course progression. Drink service is a substantial part of the experience. Jungsik publishes an official wine list and offers several pairing options matched to the tasting menus, with four-, five-, seven- and eight-glass pairings depending on the selection. The site also separates reservation enquiries from media and employment contacts, which suggests an organised front-of-house structure and a formal service environment designed around advance planning and coordinated table service. Taken together, the verified details describe a polished contemporary restaurant rather than a traditional dining room. Jungsik’s official language stresses reinterpreting familiar Korean flavours with modern creativity, and the Michelin Guide similarly highlights Chef Yim’s innovative approach to Korean cuisine. In practice, the Seoul branch presents a carefully staged tasting-menu experience in Gangnam, shaped by precise courses, structured beverage pairing and a clearly articulated New Korean identity.

201. Casa do Frango

The London Bridge restaurant occupies two floors within a 19th-century industrial warehouse, with a greenery-draped skylight helping to shape the room. The main dining space is joined by Boa Vida, a private room for 10 to 14 seated guests, and Boa Pinga, which can seat 45 or host 60 standing.

The menu highlights Frango Piri-Piri cooked over open flames, alongside rice, grilled plates and vegetable dishes. For organised dining, the restaurant offers set menus such as Classic and Signature, while the events offer also includes canapé-style options.

     The Venetian Resort Las Vegas recreates the visual language of Venice through canals, bridges, painted ceilings and grand interior spaces.

Gondolas and the Grand Canal Shoppes make the Italian theme part of the daily experience, extending well beyond the hotel entrance. Accommodation is arranged as suites, with living areas that create a useful separation between sleeping and relaxing. Different categories provide additional space and views, while the connected resort offers pools and wellness facilities for quieter hours. The scale gives visitors considerable choice, although the layout rewards allowing time to move between its different areas. The casino is a central part of the resort, complemented by restaurants ranging from informal meals to more elaborate dining. Lounges, performance venues and shopping provide further reasons to remain within the complex through the evening. The Venetian is particularly suited to travellers who enjoy an immersive hotel setting, where architecture and spectacle are as much a part of the stay as the suite itself.

204. Istiqlal Mosque

     Jakarta, Indonesia

     Istiqlal Mosque is a major landmark of central Jakarta, close to Merdeka Square and opposite the city's Catholic cathedral. Its name means independence, linking the building to Indonesia's national story as well as its religious life. A broad dome, a slender minaret and extensive open spaces give the complex a monumental presence amid the surrounding streets. The prayer hall is defined by its great central volume and repeated galleries, with polished surfaces and geometric lines providing a comparatively restrained setting. The scale becomes especially apparent from the upper levels and courtyard. Designed by architect Friedrich Silaban, the mosque expresses a modern architectural approach while retaining the spatial requirements of congregational worship. For visitors, Istiqlal offers a way to understand the place of Islam within Indonesia's diverse society. Its proximity to Jakarta Cathedral makes the relationship between neighbouring faith communities visible in the cityscape. Visitor arrangements operate alongside prayers and religious events, so modest dress and consideration for worshippers are essential. Exploring the complex with an authorised guide helps explain its symbolism, architecture and civic role, and gives the visit depth beyond the building's impressive dimensions.

206. Soneva Jani Water Villas

     Medhufaru, Maldives

     Soneva Jani's water villas extend into the lagoon around Medhufaru in the Maldives' Noonu Atoll. Connected by curving wooden walkways, they make the sea part of everyday life, from a morning swim off the deck to an evening spent watching the changing light across the water. Pale timber and generous open spaces soften the boundary between indoors and outside. The accommodation includes Water Retreats and Water Reserves in several sizes, with private pools and broad terraces for lounging and dining. Selected villas have slides leading directly into the lagoon, while retractable roofs create the possibility of stargazing from the bedroom. Families and groups can choose larger residences with separate bedrooms and shared spaces, although individual layouts and features should guide the final choice. There is more to the stay than the villa itself. The resort offers water activities, tennis, outdoor cinema and a substantial children's club, alongside the treatments and movement sessions of Soneva Soul. Dining ranges from relaxed meals with a sea view to more elaborate experiences. These facilities support active days, but the accommodation also lends itself to long, unstructured periods spent around a private pool.

207. Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria

     Naples, Italy

     Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria is the Naples branch at Via Nuova Agnano 1, Bagnoli, in the city’s western edge towards Pozzuoli. The official site presents it as the first 10Pizzeria Diego Vitagliano in Naples, opened after the original Pozzuoli location, and describes the venue as an accommodating, well-kept room with 200 covers split between 150 indoors and 50 outdoors in fine weather. A visible oven and a dedicated gluten-free area are part of the layout, and the house style is rooted in a contemporary interpretation of Neapolitan pizza. Food here is built around pizza making, with Vitagliano’s own approach to high-rimmed Neapolitan dough and indirect fermentation using biga and poolish. The operator says the restaurant gives particular attention to gluten free, offering an entirely gluten-free menu with 18 pizzas and two starters in both the Naples and Pozzuoli sites, supported by a visible box oven and separate spaces to limit contamination. The wider food programme also stresses selected ingredients, including Puglian extra-virgin olive oil and type 1 bio flour from Molino Grassi. The restaurant’s character is tied to a modern, practical dining room rather than a formal dining style. Official descriptions emphasise the open oven, the clear separation of gluten-free production, and a service-led approach that has become a defining feature of the brand. The setting in Bagnoli, an area in ongoing regeneration, gives the branch a distinctly urban feel, while the outdoor seating adds a seasonal element without changing the core pizzeria identity. As a current operating branch of a wider Naples-founded business, Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria Bagnoli offers a focused experience centred on pizza, bread and careful dough work. The official location page records daily service and the restaurant’s fixed address in Naples, while the food page highlights the gluten-free offer and ingredient sourcing. Together these sources show a large, specialised pizzeria with a casual but considered atmosphere, designed for both local visits and destination dining in south-west Naples.

Dining spans main restaurants, casual cafés and speciality venues, while theatres, bars and live performances create an active evening programme. Pools and sports facilities form a substantial part of the daytime experience, with features such as water slides or climbing walls available on selected ships. Because facilities vary, choosing the vessel is as important as choosing the itinerary.

The hotel offers suites, with separate areas for sleeping and relaxing and a range of layouts for different travelling parties. Marble bathrooms and generous living spaces contribute to the residential feel of the accommodation. Swimming pools provide an outdoor retreat, while the scale of the property gives guests numerous options for dining and time away from the room. The casino is a major element of the resort, alongside extensive retail, restaurants and entertainment facilities. Chinese and international cuisines allow considerable variety across a longer stay, and the Cotai location places other major resorts within reach. The Venetian Macao suits visitors who enjoy a hotel as a destination in itself, with the suite providing a quieter base within a setting built around activity, spectacle and choice.

210. The Lodge at Pebble Beach

     Pebble Beach, United States

     The Lodge at Pebble Beach faces the eighteenth green and Stillwater Cove, giving it a close relationship with the course that shares its name. Established in 1919, the hotel brings a residential style to California's Monterey Peninsula, with traditionally furnished rooms and suites arranged around the golfing landscape. Ocean and fairway views are a defining feature of many accommodation choices. Guest rooms combine substantial furnishings with the warmth of fireplaces in selected categories, while Fairway One adds accommodation beside the first hole. The connection with Pebble Beach Golf Links is unusually immediate, though golf still requires a separate reservation. Staying here also provides a base for the resort's other courses and its golf academy, allowing an itinerary to extend beyond one round. Restaurants offer several dining styles, and guests can use the resort's spa and affiliated sporting facilities. Time away from golf might involve the waterfront, tennis or exploring the peninsula by way of 17-Mile Drive. The Lodge's appeal rests in that balance of sporting purpose and coastal leisure, with the finishing green providing a constant point of reference throughout a stay.

211. Ikoyi

     London, UK

     Ikoyi is a restaurant at 180 Strand, in central London, occupying a site in the Strand area of WC2R 1EA. It is the current home of chef Jeremy Chan’s restaurant, which the MICHELIN Guide lists as a creative dining room and identifies as one of London’s more iconic reservations. The restaurant operates with its own booking system and directs guests to contact it directly for tables. The kitchen builds its menus around British micro-seasonality and a spice-led approach. The restaurant states that it uses slowly grown vegetables, sustainable line-caught fish and aged native beef, with a global spice collection forming the foundation of the cooking. The MICHELIN Guide likewise describes Chan’s tasting menu as combining high-quality organic produce from the British Isles with global spices, with dishes such as aged turbot with egusi miso, suya with creamed peas and smoked jollof rice. Dining is centred on tasting menus rather than à la carte. Ikoyi says its full tasting menu is served for dinner from Monday to Friday and for lunch from Wednesday to Friday, alongside a shorter menu. The dining room accommodates tables for two to four guests, while a separate private dining area seats up to six. Exclusive hire is also offered for a bespoke restaurant experience that combines food, drinks and service. The overall experience is that of a tightly run contemporary restaurant, designed for small groups and private occasions rather than a casual all-day room. Its location in the Strand places it within easy reach of central London’s theatre and business districts, but the emphasis inside remains on a focused, ingredient-led tasting format and carefully controlled reservations. The result is a polished fine-dining setting with a clear culinary identity rooted in spice, produce and precision.

212. José Pizarro

     London, UK

     José Pizarro is the Bermondsey Street restaurant at 194 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 3TQ, in the London Bridge area. It is presented by the operator as José Pizarro’s second neighbourhood restaurant on the street, part of a wider London collection but with its own clear dining-room identity. The restaurant sits moments from London Bridge and is currently described as an active venue for bookings, contact and everyday dining rather than a temporary or one-off project. The kitchen is centred on seasonal Spanish cooking, with an open kitchen forming the visual focus of the room. Guests can choose from an à la carte menu, a daily lunch menu inspired by Spain’s Menú del Día, desserts, wine and cocktails. The restaurant also lists feasting menus for groups, so the offer spans lighter daytime meals, shared plates and more structured dining without losing its Spanish emphasis. Facilities include a terrace for smaller plates and drinks, and a wood-panelled semi-private dining room suited to groups of six to ten. The restaurant also accepts online reservations for parties of one to 24 and welcomes dogs. Those details suggest a practical layout for neighbourhood lunches, informal drinks and planned gatherings, with the open kitchen and separate spaces giving the room a sense of activity while keeping the focus on the main restaurant floor. Editorial coverage describes Pizarro as a roomier space than José Pizarro’s original tapas bar further up Bermondsey Street, still closely tied to the area’s Spanish food scene. Reviews note classical Spanish cooking with a modern edge, while the operator emphasises shared dishes, Spanish wines and a relaxed atmosphere for friends, family or colleagues. The result is a polished but approachable restaurant with a stronger dining-room feel than a tapas counter setup.

213. ICC Sydney

     Sydney, Australia

     ICC Sydney occupies a waterfront position in Darling Harbour, bringing convention, exhibition and performance facilities into a connected precinct. Glass-fronted foyers and terraces look towards the harbour and city skyline, giving delegates an immediate sense of Sydney rather than the enclosed feel of an isolated conference campus. Restaurants, hotels and pedestrian areas surround the venue. The convention building includes the Darling Harbour Theatre, Pyrmont Theatre, meeting rooms and ballrooms, with spaces suited to both large plenary sessions and smaller discussions. Exhibition halls support trade shows and displays, while a separate entertainment theatre accommodates concerts and substantial presentations. The Grand Ballroom and open-air event deck provide options for receptions and dinners, allowing programmes to change atmosphere without leaving the complex. Practical connections help make short business visits manageable. Light rail, nearby rail stations and walking routes link the venue with the city centre, and the surrounding harbour district offers dining before and after events. Internal connections allow delegates to move between different elements of a conference under cover. The combination of substantial facilities and a lively public waterfront makes ICC Sydney particularly distinctive for events that mix professional sessions with a broader city experience.

214. Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa

     Johannesburg

     The Saxon is an all-suite hotel in Johannesburg's tree-lined Sandhurst suburb. Accommodation is divided between the main hotel and villas set in the adjoining gardens. The villa luxury suites use dark wood, geometric textiles and African artefacts, with an open-plan lounge and dining area leading onto a private deck. Their bathrooms have a freestanding bath, twin basins and a stone-clad shower. Butler service is included, and villa guests can use the main hotel's facilities. The Saxon Spa incorporates water features, copper and Himalayan salt, with hydro facilities forming part of the suite experience. Qunu and high tea are among the hotel's dining options.

215. Constance Belle Mare Plage

     Flacq District, Mauritius

     Constance Belle Mare Plage is a tropical golf resort that lies on a 2 km long white sandy beach in Mauritius. The resort has two 18-hole championship golf courses, The Legend and The Links, which offer panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. The resort also has a spa, a fitness center, four swimming pools, seven restaurants and six bars.

216. Emirates

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Emirates builds its international network around Dubai, bringing travellers through a hub that links Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas and the Pacific. The airline's wide-body aircraft and long-haul emphasis shape the experience, whether Dubai is the final destination or a stop between continents. Its connection with the city is visible in both the airport operation and the range of stopover possibilities. Cabins differ between aircraft and configurations. The fleet includes the Airbus A380, Boeing 777 and Airbus A350, with Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First Class available in different combinations. Selected A380s include an onboard lounge for premium passengers and shower facilities in First Class. These features are specific to equipped aircraft, making the operating type an important part of choosing a flight. Across the journey, Emirates places emphasis on dining and its ice entertainment system, with a broad library of films, television, music and other content. Skywards links eligible travel with miles and membership benefits, while lounges serve qualifying passengers in Dubai and other destinations. The airline's distinguishing quality is the scale of its Dubai-centred operation combined with aircraft-specific experiences that can make the flight itself a substantial part of a trip.

217. L'Enclume

     United Kingdom

     L’Enclume occupies a former thirteenth-century blacksmith’s workshop in Cartmel, where Simon Rogan’s cooking begins with the seasonal ingredients of Our Farm and nearby producers. Produce is discussed with the growing team and developed in Aulis before dishes reach the restaurant. The result is a tasting experience that changes with the harvest. Recent combinations include beetroot with salted mackerel and sunflower seed, Orkney scallop with kohlrabi and preserved magnolia, and turbot with carrots and blackcurrant leaves. A shorter lunch menu provides another format. Six-seat Aulis Cartmel offers a closer view of the chefs at work, while rooms scattered around the village allow dinner to become an overnight stay with breakfast at Rogan & Co.

218. DiverXO

     Spain

     DiverXO is Dabiz Muñoz's Madrid restaurant, built around a tasting menu that combines technical experimentation with flavours from around the world. Called La Cocina de los Cerdos Voladores, the food menu forms the centre of the meal, with courses conceived as a connected exploration of the chef's cooking. Drinks have their own substantial role. Metamorfosis is a parallel menu of alcohol-free creations, available alongside the food menu and designed as another culinary sequence. Wine pairings provide an alternative, with several selections and the option to follow the sommeliers' choices. The restaurant began in 2007 and continues to develop this distinctive relationship between food and drink.

219. Kin Khao

     San Francisco, USA

     Kin Khao is a restaurant in San Francisco, USA.

220. SMAT

     Dubai, UAE

     SMAT is a restaurant in Dubai Design District, at Building No. 10 in Dubai, presented on its official website as a resto-cafe with an Emirati focus. The business combines local culinary references with a wider restaurant menu, positioning itself as a place for both everyday meals and more arranged dining. Contact details and table-booking information are provided through its official pages, identifying this specific Dubai branch rather than a general brand presence elsewhere in the emirate or region. The menu is broad in scope, covering breakfast, starters, soups, salads, mains and desserts. Breakfast dishes listed include Emirati breakfast, balaleet, chebab, muhalla, regag and shakshuka, while other sections move into dishes such as fried calamari, yoghurt-marinated chicken tikka and wagyu tikka. Signature-sounding items including jasheed tacos and jasheed sushi suggest that the kitchen does not limit itself to strictly traditional formats, but uses Emirati references alongside more mixed contemporary restaurant ideas on the same menu. Sweet dishes extend that variety, with desserts including lugaimat, aseeda fondant and dates brownies. The official About Us page describes SMAT as an Emirati cuisine restaurant concerned with the fusion of food culture and traditional food, which fits the way the menu combines familiar regional dishes with broader international-style plates. Rather than focusing on a single narrow category, the restaurant appears set up for diners who may want breakfast, lighter starters, substantial mains or a dessert course within one venue in Dubai Design District. Beyond the dine-in menu, SMAT also lists several service formats on its official site, including door delivery, outdoor catering, fine dining and a banquets hall. Its stated ambition centres on contemporary Emirati cuisine, while the overall offer spans casual café-style meals and more organised dining occasions. That combination gives the restaurant a flexible character: rooted in Emirati culinary themes, but expressed through a menu and service range broad enough to suit different meal types, group arrangements and off-site catering requests.

221. Mari Vanna

     New York, USA

     Mari Vanna is a Russian restaurant in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, at 41 East 20th Street in New York. Its official New York site presents it as an established dining room serving lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, while city records link the premises with MARI VANNA GINZA 2 LLC. The restaurant’s own wording places it firmly in central Manhattan and frames it as a continuing New York address rather than a temporary pop-up or branch. The kitchen centres on Russian cuisine, with the restaurant’s menu pages set out around dinner and brunch rather than a broad international offer. Official material also refers to catering and pantry ordering, indicating that the operation extends beyond table service. The tone of the menu copy suggests dishes that may be unfamiliar to some diners, which reinforces a food-led identity built around classic Russian cooking rather than a generic neighbourhood all-day café. The interior is described as a deliberately house-like setting inspired by Maria Ivanovna’s St Petersburg apartment. The ambience page refers to vintage mismatched chairs, floral wallpaper, lace drapery, white linens, porcelain figurines, old photographs, paintings and antique tea sets. It also notes that the design was created in 2009 and re-imagined in 2019, supporting a layered decorative style that aims for a nostalgic, old-world domestic atmosphere. Mari Vanna also promotes private celebrations, with official pages mentioning birthdays, engagements, weddings, christenings and baby showers. The site refers to special table settings and décor options for events, alongside a VIP guest list with late-night access and priority booking. Taken together, the available information describes a centrally located Russian restaurant that combines formal dining, homely visual detail and event-focused hospitality in one Manhattan room.

222. Bali

     Bali, Indonesia

     Bali combines a varied coastline with an interior of rice-growing landscapes, volcanic slopes and towns where artistic traditions remain part of daily life. Denpasar provides an urban introduction, while the southern beaches and the countryside around Ubud offer quite different settings for a stay. Temples, offerings and ceremonial activity give the island a cultural rhythm that extends beyond its visitor districts. On the coast, Kuta’s surf and Sanur’s gentler shoreline appeal to different styles of holiday. Inland, Ubud brings galleries, craft markets and traditional dance into reach, with terraced rice fields around the wider area. Sea temples such as Tanah Lot and the mountain setting of Besakih show the close relationship between sacred places and the landscape. Visits work well when they allow time for each area rather than treating the island as a single resort district. Balinese food adds another layer, from spice-rich ayam betutu to lawar, a mixture incorporating coconut and herbs. Markets provide an opportunity to encounter textiles, painting and woodcarving alongside everyday produce. Choosing a coastal base, an inland retreat or a combination of both helps shape a journey around the island’s considerable contrasts.

223. Hanging Gardens of Bali Tiered Infinity Pool

     Payangan, Indonesia

     The tiered infinity pool at Hanging Gardens of Bali is set above the forested Ayung River valley, north of Ubud. Its curved levels follow the hillside, creating a sculptural feature within the surrounding greenery. From the water, the forest canopy becomes the principal view, with the pool edges designed to reduce the visual boundary between the built terrace and the valley beyond. The experience differs from a coastal infinity pool because the outlook is layered with trees, slopes and shifting tropical light. The upper and lower levels create contrasting perspectives on the same landscape, while the surrounding deck offers places to sit between swims. It is a pool designed as a focal point of the resort, distinct from the private pools attached to individual villas. Accommodation is arranged in villas across the hillside, and the wider property includes dining, spa treatments and activities connected to the Ubud area. Visitors planning a pool-focused day should check the resort's current access arrangements before travelling. Allowing time to stay nearby makes it easier to experience the setting at a quieter pace, when the forest rather than the camera determines the rhythm.

224. Emirates Palace

     United Arab Emirates

     Emirates Palace, now Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi, stands at the western end of the Corniche beside a 1.3-kilometre private beach. Qasr Al Watan is close by, while the hotel’s grounds create a resort setting within the city. Accommodation includes garden-facing rooms with private balconies and larger Palace and Royal suites. The restaurant collection ranges from Hakkasan’s contemporary Cantonese cooking to Talea by Antonio Guida’s Italian dishes, with Episodes serving as a lobby café and poolside venues adding more casual meals. The spa sits within the landscaped grounds. Beachfront padel and tennis courts, together with jogging and cycling trails, give the property an active side beyond the beach and pools.

225. Great Blue Hole

     Lighthouse Reef, Belize

     The Great Blue Hole lies within Lighthouse Reef Atoll, where a dark circular opening contrasts sharply with the surrounding shallows. This marine sinkhole gives Belize one of its most recognisable seascapes, but the diving experience is different from a typical coral-garden excursion. Its interest lies in the limestone formations, steep walls and sense of descending into a landscape shaped before it was submerged. Boat trips and liveaboard itineraries provide access, often combining the Blue Hole with other sites around Lighthouse Reef. The deeper dive is associated with ancient stalactites and an open-water atmosphere, while neighbouring reefs offer a contrasting focus on coral and fish life. The variety of the wider atoll helps make the journey worthwhile for visitors whose interests extend beyond the central sinkhole. Suitability depends on experience and conditions, so the choice of operator and dive programme deserves careful attention. Travellers who prefer to appreciate the shape and scale from above can consider an aerial excursion instead. The Great Blue Hole is most compelling when understood as part of the wider Belize Barrier Reef setting: a geological feature with a distinctive character, surrounded by a broader marine landscape that rewards time and exploration.

226. Gymkhana

     London, UK

     Gymkhana is a restaurant in London, UK.

227. Infinity Pool at Alila Ubud

     Ubud, Indonesia

     Alila Ubud's infinity pool projects towards the wooded slopes of the Ayung River Valley, bringing the hotel's hillside setting into sharp focus. The long, clean outline of the water contrasts with the layered greenery beyond, while the vanishing edge creates a sense of continuity between pool and forest. It is a considered piece of resort architecture whose impact comes largely from its position. At 25 metres, the pool accommodates proper laps as well as quieter time beside the water. Sunbeds occupy the adjoining terrace, where changing light and the movement of cloud across the valley give the same view a different character through the day. The surrounding hotel is arranged with the intimacy of a Balinese village, and the pool serves as one of its shared gathering places. Rooms and villas look towards hillsides and gardens, while Spa Alila and the resort's dining provide ways to extend an unhurried day. Guided walks, cycling and activities involving local farmers and craftspeople offer a closer introduction to the area beyond the grounds. Returning to the pool after exploring gives the landscape another role: a broad, quiet backdrop to swimming above the valley.

228. Spondi

     Athens, Greece

     Spondi is a restaurant in Athens, Greece.

229. Niseko

     Hokkaido

     Niseko United brings four ski areas together on the slopes of Niseko Annupuri in Hokkaido. Hanazono, Grand Hirafu, Niseko Village and Annupuri International share the 1,308-metre mountain, with one All Mountain pass providing access across the collection. Snow-bearing winds from the Eurasian continent gather moisture over the Sea of Japan, helping create the powder conditions for which the area is known. Each resort has a different emphasis. Grand Hirafu has the largest ski area and a substantial base village of accommodation, shops and restaurants. Hanazono combines beginner learning areas with terrain parks and tree runs, while Niseko Village offers long trails through natural forest. The variety allows skiers and snowboarders to explore several settings within the same mountain holiday.

230. Cosme

     New York, USA

     Cosme is a restaurant in New York, USA.

231. Madison Square Garden

     New York, United States

     Madison Square Garden places major live events in the centre of Manhattan, directly above the Penn Station transport complex. The arena is closely associated with New York's sporting and musical life, serving as the home of the Knicks and Rangers while also hosting concerts and other large productions. Its central setting gives an event here a strong connection with the city around it. The interior is designed for a changing programme, moving between basketball, ice hockey, concert staging and other formats. Seating position makes a meaningful difference to the experience, particularly when the floor layout changes for a performance. Hospitality suites and premium areas offer another way to attend, while the main bowl concentrates the collective energy of a large crowd around the action. Rail and subway connections make arrival straightforward from many parts of New York and beyond, and the surrounding streets offer restaurants for meals before or after an event. The experience is most rewarding when planned around a particular performance or fixture, with time allowed for entry and the atmosphere inside. Madison Square Garden is a venue to experience through its live programme, where the audience contributes as much to the occasion as the building itself.

232. The Araki

     London, UK

     The Araki is a sushi restaurant in Mayfair, London, at 12 New Burlington Street, W1S 3BH. Its official site identifies it as a London restaurant operated by Araki London Limited, and the dining room is arranged as a specialist counter rather than a broad à la carte room. The setting is in the West End, but the experience is shaped by the counter, the sequence of dishes and the close contact between guests and the kitchen. The restaurant serves a single set tasting menu built around raw and cooked fish and shellfish, presented in a controlled sequence. Dinner is listed Tuesday to Saturday, with two sittings at 18:00 and 20:30, and guests are seated at the chef’s counter for a close view of preparation. That format points to a tightly focused service style, with limited scope for adjustment to dietary requirements and a strong emphasis on pacing. Capacity is intentionally small. The counter takes up to nine guests per sitting, and the website also notes a separate private room for up to six guests, which can suit meetings or family gatherings. The house style is described as Edomae sushi, made with locally sourced ingredients and presented with traditional Japanese hospitality. Together, these details suggest an intimate restaurant built around technique, precision and a very direct relationship with the chef. Official and established restaurant listings place The Araki within London’s specialist Japanese dining scene, with its Mayfair address and sushi-counter format clearly identified. The venue is therefore best understood as a compact, reservation-led restaurant where the fixed tasting sequence, limited seating and chef’s-counter arrangement create a structured meal. It is a place for closely observed sushi craft rather than a flexible neighbourhood dining room.

233. Nobu at Atlantis The Palm

     Dubai, UAE

     Nobu at Atlantis The Palm is a culinary oasis where guests can indulge in an exquisite fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavors amidst the opulent surroundings of one of Dubai's most iconic hotels. Helmed by acclaimed chef Nobu Matsuhisa, the restaurant offers a tantalizing menu featuring signature dishes such as Black Cod Miso, Yellowtail Jalapeño, and Tiradito, expertly crafted with the finest ingredients and innovative techniques. With its elegant ambiance, impeccable service, and panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, Nobu at Atlantis The Palm promises a dining experience that delights the senses and leaves a lasting impression on discerning guests seeking a culinary journey like no other.

234. Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea

     Umluj, Saudi Arabia

     Six Senses Southern Dunes sits inland from Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, in a landscape of pale dunes and rugged desert formations. The resort draws on the region's trading history and Nabataean heritage while using contemporary architecture to frame the surrounding terrain. Its central Oasis gathers social spaces beneath a broad canopy, creating a sheltered focus within the open landscape. Rooms and suites are complemented by private pool villas, with muted colours and natural textures that keep attention on the desert outside. The larger villas give families or groups more space for shared dining and quiet time. A substantial spa extends across two floors, bringing treatment rooms, movement spaces and bathing experiences into the same considered relationship with the setting. Food is another route into the destination. Regional cooking at Al Sarab, a cooking school and activities connected with local culture provide ways to explore beyond the scenery. Excursions into the surrounding desert add a sense of scale, while quieter hours can be spent by a villa pool or in the spa. The appeal lies in this inland environment, making the resort a distinctive counterpart to the island stays along the coast.

235. Presidential Suite De' Medici at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze

     Florence, Italy

     The Presidential Suite De' Medici occupies the third floor of Palazzo della Gherardesca at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze. Its windows and private balcony look towards the Gherardesca Garden and Borgo Pinti, giving the accommodation an unusually green outlook within Florence. From the largest window, the garden path once used by horse-drawn coaches remains part of the view, connecting the suite with the palazzo's long history. Across approximately 205 square metres, antique furnishings, marble details and generous windows create an elegant sequence of rooms. The living space provides room for conversation, while a high-ceilinged dining room can accommodate a private meal for eight. A king bedroom, full marble bathroom and separate guest powder room complete the residential arrangement, with the balcony adding a place to enjoy the garden from above. The scale makes the suite suitable for guests who want time within the hotel as well as access to Florence's galleries and streets. Drinks in the living room or on the balcony can become part of the day's rhythm, rather than simply an interval between outings. Its distinctive appeal comes from the relationship between historic interiors, substantial private space and the mature park immediately outside.

236. Fieramilano Rho

     Rho, Italy

     Fieramilano Rho places large international trade fairs in a striking contemporary complex outside central Milan. Designed by Massimiliano Fuksas, the exhibition grounds are organised around a long pedestrian spine beneath an undulating glass canopy. This architectural gesture gives visitors a clear visual reference while connecting the halls and creating sheltered space between the intensity of individual exhibitions. The campus accommodates events across design, manufacturing, fashion and other specialist fields. Large halls support substantial stands and product displays, while accompanying services and meeting areas allow exhibitors to hold business appointments alongside the main programme. Depending on the event, a visit might involve furniture installations, machinery demonstrations or closely focused collections, with the same buildings taking on a different atmosphere each time. Rho Fieramilano metro and railway connections make the venue accessible from Milan, although visitors should allow time to reach their assigned entrance and hall. The address is in Rho, so choosing accommodation requires a decision between proximity to the exhibition and evenings in the city. For design-minded travellers, the flowing roofscape adds an architectural dimension to the practical business of attending a fair.

237. Rosewood Hong Kong

     Hong Kong, China

     Rosewood Hong Kong rises above Victoria Dockside in Tsim Sha Tsui, with rooms and public spaces oriented towards the harbour and the city beyond. Its Kowloon waterfront address provides a strong sense of place, while art and landscaped spaces soften the scale of the building. The hotel brings together accommodation, dining and wellness in a setting designed to feel residential despite its urban height. Rooms combine large windows with carefully arranged living spaces, and the suite collection adds separate areas for relaxing and entertaining. Harbour and mountain views vary by category, making the outlook an important consideration when choosing accommodation. Selected rooms and suites include access to the Manor Club, while longer stays can be accommodated in the adjoining residences. The dining collection covers several distinct traditions, including Cantonese cooking at The Legacy House, Indian dishes at CHAAT and Italian food at BluHouse. DarkSide provides a bar setting for the evening, and the Butterfly Room serves afternoon tea. Asaya brings together spa treatments, fitness facilities and a pool. These choices make the hotel a substantial base for exploring Hong Kong, with enough variety for quieter days spent close to the waterfront.

238. Rasa Sayang

     London, UK

     Rasa Sayang is a restaurant in London, UK.

239. Sarsa Kitchen + Bar

     Manila, Philippines

     Sarsa Kitchen + Bar is a restaurant in Manila, Philippines.

240. Hakkasan Abu Dhabi

     United Arab Emirates

     Hakkasan Abu Dhabi brings contemporary Cantonese cooking to Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental. Carved wooden screens and latticework divide the restaurant, bar and lounge, while the main dining area is framed by backlit blue glass. Four private dining rooms provide more secluded spaces within the venue. Signature dishes include Peking duck with caviar and crispy duck salad, alongside a dedicated dim sum lunch offering. The terrace overlooks the palace grounds and extends the experience into an alfresco lounge with cabanas, cocktails and city skyline views. Diners can enter through the palace lobby or use Hakkasan’s separate entrance in the East Wing.

241. Scorpios Mykonos

     Paraga, Greece

     Scorpios spreads across a coastal headland beside Paraga on Mykonos, with stone, sand and timber giving the setting a close relationship to the surrounding landscape. Its beach areas offer several ways to settle beside the Aegean, from individual sunbeds to cabanas for small groups. Open views and sheltered corners allow guests to choose between a more social position and a quieter place to rest. The experience moves naturally between the shore, restaurant and terrace. Shared plates and long tables encourage meals to become part of a wider gathering, while cocktails accompany the changing light. The separate beach zones have different characters, and the Sunset Beach is particularly associated with the transition from a slower afternoon to a more animated evening. Music is central to Scorpios, with programmed performances and extended sets shaping the atmosphere after sunset. Guests interested primarily in a beach day can book that experience separately from restaurant or terrace arrangements. The appeal is in this range of moods within one coastal site: swimming and lounging during daylight, then food and music as the headland takes on a different rhythm.

242. Bar Leone

     Hong Kong, China

     Bar Leone brings the spirit of an Italian neighbourhood bar to Bridges Street in Hong Kong’s Central district. Founded by bartender Lorenzo Antinori, it is shaped around community, familiar drinks and an atmosphere that encourages people to settle in. Personal memorabilia and references to Italian popular culture give the room a lived-in character, with humour and nostalgia woven into the setting. The cocktail approach favours recognisable classics, careful ingredients and considered preparation. The bar describes this outlook as Cocktail Popolari, reflecting its interest in making the pleasure of a well-made drink approachable. Seasonality informs the selection, while familiar recipes provide a starting point for conversations about flavour and personal preferences. Olives and other small details of the aperitivo tradition support the social rhythm of the bar. For visitors exploring Central, the address offers a place to pause and move from sightseeing into an evening out. Its appeal is closely tied to the relationship between the drinks and the room: an Italian sensibility expressed through a Hong Kong neighbourhood setting, with conviviality at the centre of the experience.

243. Lalibela

     London, UK

     Lalibela is a restaurant in London, UK.

244. Burger & Beyond

     London, UK

     Burger & Beyond is a restaurant in London, UK.

245. Dhigurah Beach

     Dhigurah, Maldives

     Dhigurah's beach follows a long, narrow inhabited island in South Ari Atoll, where white sand, tropical vegetation and shallow blue water create a particularly spacious coastal setting. Towards the island's southern end, the shore develops into the sandbank known as the thundi. The changing tides alter its outline, making the walk as much about the surrounding water and light as the destination itself. The island offers a different perspective from a self-contained resort. Guesthouses and local services provide a base for beach days, while excursions explore the reefs and marine life of the wider atoll. South Ari is associated with whale-shark encounters, although sightings depend on conditions and wildlife movements. A quiet afternoon on the sand can therefore be combined with a more active day on the water. Picnics, beach walks and sunset views are simple ways to appreciate Dhigurah's scale. Local accommodation can advise on beach areas, tides and boat arrangements, particularly when planning time at the sandbank. The attraction is the relationship between village life and an unusually long natural shoreline, allowing visitors to experience both the inhabited Maldives and its open, expansive seascapes.

246. Schwarzwaldstube

     Baiersbronn, Germany

     Schwarzwaldstube is a restaurant in Baiersbronn, Germany.

247. British Museum

     London, United Kingdom

     The British Museum occupies a substantial neoclassical building in Bloomsbury, centred on the glass-roofed Great Court. Its galleries approach human history through objects, moving between ancient civilisations, religious traditions, daily life and artistic expression. The transition from the open central court to more intimate exhibition rooms gives visitors a useful sense of orientation within a very large collection. Egyptian sculpture, Assyrian reliefs, Greek and Roman material, Asian collections and artefacts from other regions provide different starting points. The Rosetta Stone is a familiar highlight, but smaller objects can be equally revealing when considered alongside their historical context. A route organised around one region, period or theme often brings more understanding than trying to cover every department. The museum's interpretation, talks and guided tours help explain how objects were made, used and collected. Temporary exhibitions offer more concentrated investigations of particular subjects, while the permanent galleries support repeated visits. Located close to the streets and garden squares of Bloomsbury, the museum can anchor a wider cultural day in London. Its central appeal is the opportunity to compare material histories across different societies within one building.

248. CUT by Wolfgang Puck

     Dubai, UAE

     CUT by Wolfgang Puck is a restaurant in Dubai, UAE.

249. Al Falak Ballroom at Jumeirah Burj Al Arab

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Al Falak Ballroom brings a theatrical approach to private events within Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, the sail-shaped hotel on its own island off Dubai’s coastline. Inspired by an eighteenth-century Viennese opera house, the room is arranged over two tiers. Its architecture creates a setting suited to formal dinners, wedding celebrations and occasions in which the room itself is part of the experience. The main ballroom has historically accommodated up to 220 guests for a seated dinner, with an upper-level breakout area used for drinks before an event. This arrangement gives hosts a distinct reception space alongside the principal gathering. The ballroom’s event offering has also included conferences and private meetings, supported by catering, floral design and specialist planning. The ballroom is temporarily closed while Jumeirah Burj Al Arab undergoes restoration. The programme, announced in April 2026, is intended to preserve the hotel’s architectural and interior legacy. Al Falak remains a venue of interest for future celebrations, but prospective organisers should establish reopening arrangements directly with the hotel before making plans. A confirmed return to service should determine the timing of any event.

250. ANA Business Class

     Tokyo, Japan

     ANA's Business Class has several cabin designs, with The Room providing a particularly spacious interpretation aboard selected Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Wide seating, a sliding door and a large side table give each passenger a clearly defined personal area. Rows alternate between forward and rear facing positions, and every seat in this configuration has direct access to the aisle. The Room converts into a fully flat bed, with a cushion developed in collaboration with Japanese bedding specialist Nishikawa. A movable partition between paired seats allows travelling companions to open up the space, while solo passengers can keep it enclosed. The large table supports meals or laptop work, and a separate reading light, universal power socket and USB connection keep practical details close at hand. Entertainment is displayed on a 24 inch 4K monitor. The airline's other Business Class cabins should be considered separately. Its Business Staggered product uses a different arrangement of fully flat seats, and equipment varies across aircraft types and individual flights. Travellers specifically seeking The Room should confirm the cabin shown for their booking and review the seat map. The precise aircraft and seating specification can change for operational reasons.

251. Gulfstream G500

     Savannah, United States

     The Gulfstream G500 brings a spacious cabin to journeys that range from regional business trips to longer international sectors. Up to three living areas can be arranged along the interior, with fourteen oval windows admitting natural light. The result is a setting in which passengers can move between conversation, work and rest as the flight progresses. Gulfstream offers several approaches to the cabin plan. A galley can sit at the front or rear, while seating groups may provide a dining and meeting area for six. Other arrangements incorporate facing divans or a private stateroom, giving owners flexibility over how much space is devoted to socialising or sleeping. Upholstery, cabinetry and lighting further shape the atmosphere of each completed aircraft, so two G500s may feel noticeably different inside. Fresh air circulation and individual cabin controls support longer periods on board. The aircraft also introduced Gulfstream's Symmetry flight deck, whose active control sidesticks and touchscreens reorganised the pilots' working environment. For passengers, the defining combination is a substantial, adaptable cabin and the ability to plan a journey around their own schedule, with the actual seating and overnight arrangements worth checking before departure.

252. Fogo de Chão

     USA

     Fogo de Chão is a restaurant in USA.

253. Kaum

     Bali, Indonesia

     Kaum is an Indonesian restaurant at Desa Potato Head in Seminyak, Bali, on Jalan Petitenget No. 51B, and the current Potato Head pages place the Bali branch at Beach Club Level 1. It belongs to the Potato Head family, but it is presented as its own restaurant identity rather than a generic outlet. The concept is rooted in Indonesian culinary diversity, with the name Kaum meaning clan or tribe, and the Bali venue is described as a current part of the destination. The menu is shaped by research across the archipelago and brings together dishes and techniques from Aceh, Sulawesi, Maluku, Bali and Java. Official descriptions highlight bamboo grilling, fermentation, pit roasting, manual grinding and skewer grilling, giving the cooking a clear emphasis on regional methods rather than standard pan-Asian shorthand. The drinks list follows the same approach, using local spirits and spice-led cocktails, with handmade ceramic claypots used in the resting process for some drinks. The dining room is presented as a carefully considered space that reflects Indonesian craft and heritage. The Bali interior uses concrete wall panels stamped with motifs taken from Torajan wood carvings, while the long communal table is intended for shared, family-style dining. Bespoke ceramic tableware also forms part of the setting, reinforcing the restaurant’s link to traditional ways of serving food and its focus on a communal, rather than individual, dining rhythm. Kaum Bali serves lunch and dinner, and the current Potato Head pages also describe a limited tasting menu available by advance reservation. That tasting offer is presented as a journey through eastern Indonesia, with influences from Sulawesi, Maluku and Bali, together with wood-smoked seafood, wild-foraged spices and other ingredients associated with the region. Overall, the restaurant’s character is contemporary but strongly regional, combining researched recipes, distinctive presentation and a setting tied closely to Indonesian food culture.

254. Sucre

     London, UK

     Sucre is a restaurant in London, UK.

255. Burnt Ends

     Singapore

     At Burnt Ends, the cooking equipment is part of the attraction. A four-tonne oven and four adjustable grills anchor the open kitchen, bringing wood, smoke and close control of heat to Dave Pynt’s Australian barbecue restaurant in Dempsey Hill. Menus are rewritten daily, allowing the kitchen to respond to ingredients rather than work through an unchanging collection of dishes. The common thread is fire: an approach broad enough to shape an entire meal, with the preparation visible from the dining room. The atmosphere is intended to be relaxed, and the drinks selection centres on boutique wines and spirits. That combination gives a dinner here the informality of barbecue while leaving considerable room for technique and detail. Burnt Ends particularly suits diners interested in how food is cooked. Its Dempsey Road home provides a setting in which the kitchen’s tools and the changing menu do much of the storytelling, making curiosity a useful companion at the table.

256. Le Louis XV - Alain Ducasse

     Monaco

     Le Louis XV at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo expresses Alain Ducasse's Mediterranean cooking through executive chef Emmanuel Pilon. The kitchen concentrates on the character of its ingredients, with the vegetable-led Jardins de Provence menu an enduring reference in the restaurant's history. Set menus and à la carte dining provide different ways to explore this approach. The dining room accommodates around 50 guests, with a smaller ground-floor terrace looking onto Place du Casino in warmer weather. Its wine programme draws on the hotel's extensive cellars, which hold more than 350,000 bottles and give particular prominence to France's major vineyards.

257. Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island

     Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

     Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island places an all inclusive resort beside the pale sands and open Gulf waters of Abu Dhabi's cultural island. Its palatial architecture, courtyard gardens and water features create a formal arrival, while the beach gives the stay a more relaxed rhythm. Rooms and suites are joined by larger villa options, and selected accommodation has direct access to a pool. Dining is spread across several settings, from an international buffet to Italian cooking, Asian dishes and Mediterranean seafood. Beach and pool bars make it easy to spend much of the day outdoors, while the all inclusive concept brings the main dining and drinks programme into the stay. Specific restaurant arrangements and villa privileges depend on the booking, allowing guests to choose the level of space and service that suits them. Families have a supervised Rixy Kids Club and an aquatic area with slides and a wave pool. Adults can use the fitness facilities or book time at Anjana Spa, whose Turkish hammam and snow room reflect the brand's interest in contrasting bathing experiences. The location also makes it practical to combine beach days with visits to Saadiyat's museums and the wider city.

258. Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat

     Australia

     Gwinganna Retreat & Spa occupies 160 hectares of bushland in the Gold Coast hinterland, with views across the valley and towards the coast. Its accommodation ranges from heritage houses in Queenslander style to secluded ridge-top villas and suites, creating several ways to stay within the landscape. Structured retreat programmes combine organic wholefood meals, guided movement and spa treatments with time for rest. Yoga, Pilates and meditation feature in selected programmes, supported by a team of wellness practitioners. The focus is on an organised retreat experience rather than a conventional hotel schedule, with the length of stay and programme determining the activities and treatments included.

259. Colosseum Archaeological Park

     Rome, Italy

     The Colosseum Archaeological Park brings several layers of ancient Rome into one connected landscape. The amphitheatre supplies the familiar starting point, but the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill give the visit its broader context. Together, they trace the relationship between public spectacle, civic life and imperial power within the centre of the modern city. Inside the Colosseum, the surviving tiers, arches and exposed internal structures reveal the scale and organisation of the ancient building. Across the Forum, temple remains, monumental columns and historic routes invite a slower exploration. The Palatine adds another perspective, with archaeological remains set among gardens and views back over the surrounding sites. Museums and interpreted displays help explain objects and structures that can otherwise be difficult to place. The park offers several ticket types and itineraries, with access to particular areas depending on the option selected. It is useful to decide which monuments and interiors matter most before booking. This is also a substantial outdoor visit, involving changes of level and a mixture of ancient surfaces, paths and adapted routes. Allowing time beyond the amphitheatre turns a single landmark encounter into a more complete understanding of Rome's archaeological heart.

260. Dude Perfect

     Frisco, United States

     Dude Perfect is a sports and entertainment group whose films turn trick shots, friendly rivalry and comic timing into recognisable video formats. Tyler Toney, Cody Jones, Garrett Hilbert and twins Coby and Cory Cotton began making videos together as university friends. The group’s identity remains rooted in that shared enthusiasm, with ambitious shots and competitive tasks giving each member a part in the action. Basketballs, footballs and everyday objects become ingredients for carefully staged sequences, often filmed in settings that allow the scale of a challenge to unfold on screen. Alongside trick shots, the group produces competitions, sketches and recurring programmes such as Overtime. Guest appearances and collaborations widen the sporting reference points, while the presentation keeps the basic challenge straightforward for a broad audience. Based professionally in Frisco, Texas, Dude Perfect also develops live shows and other entertainment projects that bring its on-screen formats into different settings. The appeal lies in the combination of physical skill, repetition, teamwork and an evident willingness to make a game out of an ordinary idea. Viewers can explore both the compact trick-shot films and longer programmes through the group’s official channels.

261. Hermitage Bay

     Jennings, Antigua and Barbuda

     Hermitage Bay occupies a sheltered coastal setting near Jennings in Antigua, with accommodation spread between the beach, tropical gardens and a wooded hillside. Its low rise suites and villas use generous outdoor decks to make the landscape part of the stay. Beachfront rooms place the sound of the sea close at hand, while hillside pool villas offer greater elevation and a more private outlook. Interiors include air conditioned sleeping areas, freestanding baths and outdoor showers. Selected categories have private pools, and furnished terraces provide space for reading, sunbathing or a meal outdoors. The arrangement suits travellers who want the services of a small resort while retaining somewhere quiet to withdraw. Room location is an important choice, particularly when deciding between easy beach access and the hillside setting. Dining combines Antiguan flavours and international dishes, with produce from the garden and seafood featuring in the kitchens. A beach club adds another informal setting, while live music brings a social rhythm to the evenings. The Garden Spa, yoga pavilion and fitness facilities provide further ways to spend the day. Hermitage Bay follows a seasonal calendar, so opening dates should be checked when planning a stay around its quieter coastal atmosphere.

262. Tian

     Vienna, Austria

     TIAN Restaurant Wien is a vegetarian restaurant at Himmelpfortgasse 23 in Vienna’s 1st district. The Vienna pages present this address as the city restaurant under the TIAN name, while Vienna’s official tourism information highlights it as a notable destination for vegetarian and vegan dining. The setting places it in the historic centre, and the concept is clearly focused on contemporary plant-based cooking built around a formal restaurant experience rather than a casual café format or broad all-day menu. The kitchen describes its approach as seasonal and centred on produce sourced mainly from regional suppliers. Vegetables are used comprehensively, from root to leaf, which points to a style shaped by ingredient use as much as by presentation. Instead of an à la carte selection, the current format is organised through tasting menus of six or eight courses. These menus are vegetarian by default and can also be ordered in a vegan version, keeping the meal structured around a set culinary progression. Drinks are woven into that tasting-menu format, with both wine pairings and non-alcoholic pairings available alongside the food menus. The published menu also sets out some practical limitations that matter for guests planning a visit. It states that mushroom and celery allergies cannot be accommodated within the existing menu structure. Reservation information adds that dogs are not permitted in the restaurant. These details indicate a service arranged around a defined menu composition rather than individually customised dishes for every dietary circumstance. TIAN says the first restaurant under this name was founded by Christian Halper in 2011. The concept is described as high-quality vegetarian cuisine made with organic, ethically produced ingredients, giving the restaurant a clear philosophical framework as well as a culinary one. Across its Vienna presentation, the emphasis remains on vegetables, seasonality and careful technique. The result is a dedicated vegetarian dining room in central Vienna where the experience is shaped by multi-course menus, considered pairings and a distinctly produce-led identity.

263. The Slanted Door

     San Francisco, USA

     The Slanted Door is a restaurant in San Francisco, USA.

264. Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea

     Umluj, Saudi Arabia

     Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea occupies an inland desert landscape, with dunes and the Hijaz Mountains shaping the setting. The resort draws on the region's trading history and Nabataean architectural references, interpreted through contemporary buildings and shaded outdoor spaces. Rooms, suites and villas use a restrained palette that keeps attention on the changing light and surrounding terrain. Wellness facilities form a substantial part of the property. The spa includes treatment rooms, a hammam, thermal facilities and pools, while the upper-level fitness area looks out across the desert. Yoga and other movement sessions add structure to the day. Guests can also explore aromatic ingredients at the Alchemy Bar or spend time in quieter relaxation areas between activities. Restaurants and shared spaces provide places to gather after excursions, with the wider landscape offering opportunities to explore beyond the resort. A stay can therefore alternate between an organised wellness programme, gentle time around the pool and experiences connected with the destination. Southern Dunes is distinctive within the Red Sea region for its inland character, making desert views and architecture central to the experience rather than a shoreline setting.

265. Café Pushkin

     Moscow, Russia

     Café Pushkin is a restaurant in Moscow, Russia.

266. Whitehaven Beach

     Whitsunday Island, Australia

     Whitehaven Beach extends for seven kilometres along the eastern side of Whitsunday Island, with bright silica sand meeting the shifting blues of the Coral Sea. The setting remains largely undeveloped within Whitsunday Islands National Park, allowing the length of the beach and the surrounding wooded slopes to define the experience. Arriving by boat reveals the shoreline gradually as the islands open out around it. At the northern end, Hill Inlet adds another dimension. Tides move water through the sand, producing changing ribbons and channels that are particularly striking from the lookout above. A walking track leads to the viewpoint, while beach visits offer time to swim, wander or simply take in the scale of the coast. Boat trips vary in their balance of beach time, walking and visits to nearby snorkelling areas. Day excursions leave from Airlie Beach and several resort islands, with sailing and scenic-flight options also available. Facilities on the beach are basic, so the practical details of water, food and sun protection matter. Whitehaven rewards visitors who allow time for both the close-up texture of the shore and the broader landscape visible from above.

267. Mayrig Yerevan

     Armenia

     Mayrig Yerevan brings Western Armenian and Mediterranean cooking to Amiryan Street. Opened in 2018, it extends a restaurant story that began in Beirut in 2003, when founder Alin Kamakyan set out to preserve recipes inherited from her grandmother, who had migrated from Musaler to Lebanon. The name means mother, reflecting the family transmission of recipes at the centre of the concept. Mediterranean ingredients and Silk Road spices shape the food, with contrasts in texture, colour and flavour part of its approach. The Yerevan restaurant connects that diaspora culinary heritage with a setting in Armenia itself.

268. Royalton Bavaro - Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite

     Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

     Royalton Bavaro's Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite provides approximately 115 square metres of space within the resort's beachfront setting at Arena Gorda. A separate bedroom and a generous shared living area give the accommodation a residential feel, with a dining table for meals together and a balcony looking towards the gardens or pools. It is well suited to travellers who expect to spend some of their holiday relaxing indoors. The bedroom has a king bed, while a sofa bed adds flexibility in the living area. A Jacuzzi tub and rain shower are set within the full bathroom, and an in-suite bar offers a convenient place to prepare drinks. The layout keeps sleeping, bathing and social space distinct. Diamond Club versions of the Presidential suite add butler service and access to dedicated areas, so those benefits should be matched to the chosen booking category. The broader resort offers a lively contrast to the private suite, with swimming pools, a long lazy river and a surf simulator among its water based activities. Restaurants range from international buffets to à la carte dining, and children have supervised activities. The suite appeals particularly to families or couples who value extra living space within a resort with plenty to occupy an active day.

269. Noma

     Copenhagen

     Noma's Copenhagen restaurant has entered a new phase built around twelve seasons rather than its previous three annual menu cycles. Each month brings a different response to ingredients, weather and the surrounding landscape, with dishes changing as the kitchen develops its ideas. Late summer draws on berries, flowers, vegetables and seafood. Autumn introduces mushrooms, stone fruits, game and red shellfish, before winter turns towards the forests and oceans, alongside ingredients gathered and preserved earlier in the year. Wine, cellar-wine and juice pairings accompany the menu. This evolving format makes the timing of a visit a substantial part of what appears on the table.

270. Carnoustie Golf Links

     Carnoustie, United Kingdom

     Carnoustie Golf Links sits between its namesake Angus town and the North Sea, with a golfing landscape that feels closely connected to everyday coastal life. The Championship Course is the principal attraction, joined by the Burnside and Buddon courses. Its tournament history is extensive, but the distinctive experience comes from the way wind, bunkers and waterways shape an ordinary visitor's round. The Championship layout calls for repeated decisions about position, particularly as the round approaches its demanding closing holes. The Barry Burn and well-placed sand hazards make patience useful, while open fairways leave little shelter from changes in the weather. Players are asked to think beyond distance and consider the safest route to each green. The companion courses introduce different proportions and challenges within the same coastal setting. Visitor tee times, caddie services and equipment hire are arranged through Carnoustie Golf Links. Links House adds an indoor performance centre and The Rookery restaurant, providing somewhere to practise, analyse a round or settle over a meal. Staying nearby allows time to appreciate the wider Angus coast as well as the golf.

271. Alila Ubud Infinity Pool

     Payangan, Indonesia

     Alila Ubud's infinity pool occupies a long terrace above the Ayung River valley, where the surrounding forest gives the water an unusually secluded setting. The pool's straightforward geometry contrasts with the layered vegetation beyond it, creating a clear visual line through the hillside landscape. Rather than facing the sea, swimmers look into Bali's central greenery and the changing light over the valley. The twenty-five-metre pool is long enough for a proper swim, with sunbeds arranged around its edge for slower hours outdoors. Its apparent extension into the trees is the defining feature, particularly when viewed from the end of the terrace. The design keeps attention on water, sky and foliage, allowing the pool to serve as a place of quiet observation as well as activity. The wider resort combines rooms and villas with spa facilities and Plantation Restaurant, where regional ingredients inform the menu. Ubud's galleries and cultural attractions offer reasons to leave the hillside, while the pool provides a natural place to return afterwards. For travellers choosing a hotel around its swimming setting, the close relationship between this terrace and the forest is the essential distinction.

272. Indian Accent

     India

     Indian Accent brings Indian culinary traditions into conversation with ingredients and techniques from around the world. Its New Delhi restaurant is at The Lodhi on Lodhi Road, with executive chef Shantanu Mehrotra leading a kitchen whose approach has developed since the restaurant first opened in 2009. An à la carte menu is available alongside a six-course chef’s tasting menu, with wine pairings drawn from India and other producing countries. Dedicated vegan and gluten-free menus broaden the choices. Three private dining spaces accommodate smaller celebrations and group meals, with menus adapted to dietary preferences and the occasion. The Indian Accent name also extends to restaurants in Mumbai and New York.

273. Schnitzel Forever

     London, UK

     Schnitzel Forever is a restaurant in London, UK.

274. Rudie’s Jerk Shack

     London, UK

     Rudie’s Jerk Shack is a restaurant in London, UK.

275. Brae

     Australia

     Brae combines Dan Hunter's restaurant, an organic farm and six guest suites on a hillside near Birregurra in Victoria's Otways hinterland. The kitchen chooses produce daily from its own land, local growers and other carefully selected suppliers, making the menu closely responsive to the farm's harvest. Paths wind through orchards, olive groves and vegetable beds, allowing diners staying overnight to see the landscape that supplies the restaurant. The architecturally designed suites incorporate harvested rainwater and a worm-farm wastewater system. Guided farm tours offer another way to understand the growing operation. Accommodation is reserved for guests with a same-day dining booking, keeping the overnight experience closely connected to the meal.

276. Mark Rober

     United States

     Mark Rober uses engineering projects to turn a question into a visual story. A former NASA engineer, he makes science-led videos in which a build, experiment or apparently playful problem becomes a way to explain how things work. The presentation pairs workshop processes with the anticipation of a test, allowing viewers to follow both the idea and the result. His public projects have included elaborate squirrel mazes, inventive devices and carefully constructed pranks. These subjects provide a familiar point of entry before introducing principles of design, physics and problem solving. The emphasis on making and testing gives the films a practical character: the mechanism behind a surprising outcome is part of the entertainment, rather than a detail left off screen. Rober also founded CrunchLabs, which develops buildable projects and accompanying educational videos. Its engineering kits and robotics activities extend the same approach into hands-on learning for children, teenagers and adults. Across his videos and educational work, curiosity is treated as something to act on, through assembling, experimenting and reconsidering a design. His official channels suit viewers who enjoy accessible science with an evident connection to the workshop.

277. Galápagos Islands

     Galápagos Islands, Ecuador

     The Galápagos Islands offer diving in a volcanic archipelago where the marine environment is as distinctive as the wildlife on land. Situated in the Pacific off mainland Ecuador, the islands bring together rocky coastlines, submerged formations and open-water habitats. The experience is often defined by encounters with marine animals and the movement of the sea rather than by a conventional tropical reef setting. The protected marine reserve surrounds the islands and supports species ranging from sea lions and turtles to sharks and schooling fish. Dive programmes vary between day trips from inhabited islands and liveaboard journeys reaching more distant sites. Routes, conditions and the animals encountered differ across the archipelago, making a specialist operator and a suitable itinerary important parts of planning. Time above water adds another dimension, with volcanic scenery and carefully managed wildlife visits providing context for what lies beneath. The islands suit travellers whose interests extend across natural history, marine life and landscapes, rather than those seeking only a beach holiday. Currents and changing water conditions can make some dives demanding, so matching a programme to experience matters. A considered visit allows the land and sea to be understood together as closely connected parts of the same destination.

278. Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel

     Maundays Bay, Anguilla

     Cap Juluca curves around Maundays Bay on Anguilla’s south-west coast, its whitewashed buildings and arches facing a long sweep of pale sand. The low-rise architecture leaves the shoreline as the dominant feature, with shaded passages, terraces and planting softening the transition between guestrooms and beach. Rooms and suites have direct beach access, generous bathrooms and outdoor space for reading or lingering over breakfast. Larger suites and pool villas add room for families or friends, while retaining the same close relationship with the bay. The resort’s layout makes it possible to spend much of the day moving between the water, a lounger and a private terrace. Pimms anchors the dining scene, while other restaurants and bars offer different settings for meals close to the sea. The Cap Juluca Spa by Guerlain adds treatment rooms and a tranquil pool environment, and watersports make use of the sheltered bay. The appeal lies in this combination of composed interiors, open coastal space and a beach that remains central to daily life.

279. The Caves

     Negril, Jamaica

     The Caves occupies the limestone cliffs of Negril's West End, where a small collection of cottages overlooks the Caribbean and the sea caves that give the property its name. Each room has its own character, with colourful fabrics, handcrafted wood furniture and local artwork. The setting is intimate and informal, with the cliffs and water shaping the experience more than a conventional stretch of beach. Accommodation ranges from garden view cottages to ocean facing suites and larger two bedroom layouts. Verandas and outdoor areas provide places to sit with the changing coastal light, while selected cottages include kitchen and living spaces. The resort welcomes guests aged 16 and over. A saltwater swimming pool and spa offer quieter ways to enjoy the setting between swimming, snorkelling or kayaking. Dining uses local produce and Jamaican flavours, moving from jerk barbecues to more elaborate evening meals. Private dinners can be arranged in the Moonbeam and Seastar caves, and the Blackwell Rum Bar occupies another dramatic space near the water. The small scale encourages an unhurried rhythm, with meals, sea views and conversation taking precedence over a busy entertainment programme. It is a distinctive choice for travellers drawn to Jamaica's coastal landscape and individual design.

280. Banyan Tree AlUla

     AlUla, Saudi Arabia

     Banyan Tree AlUla is set among the sandstone formations of the Ashar Valley, where tented villas occupy a broad desert landscape. Canopies, earthy colours and outdoor living spaces connect the accommodation with its surroundings. The villas range from one-bedroom layouts to larger options for families or groups, with private pools in selected categories and terraces that keep the rock formations in view. The spa provides treatments and wellness activities within this secluded setting. A rock pool tucked between sandstone walls gives the resort one of its most distinctive shared spaces, reserved for adult in-house guests. Fitness facilities and opportunities for walking, cycling or stargazing allow visitors to balance quieter hours with time outside, according to the season and activity schedule. Dining includes Thai cooking at Saffron and a broader menu at Harrat, alongside private dining arrangements. Beyond the resort, AlUla's archaeological sites, oasis and Old Town add cultural depth to a stay. The property's appeal comes from the way the valley remains present throughout the day, whether seen from a villa terrace, encountered on an excursion or forming the backdrop to dinner after the heat has softened.

281. Vatican Museums

     Vatican City, Vatican City

     The Vatican Museums occupy a succession of papal palaces, courtyards and galleries within Vatican City. Their appeal lies partly in the collections and partly in the rooms that contain them: frescoed ceilings, decorated corridors and formal spaces reveal the patronage and tastes of different periods. The route is therefore an architectural journey as well as an encounter with individual works of art. Classical sculpture, Egyptian antiquities, paintings and decorative objects sit alongside celebrated Renaissance interiors. The Raphael Rooms and the Sistine Chapel provide distinct experiences of large-scale fresco painting, while the Gallery of Maps adds a remarkable meeting of geography and decoration. Other departments allow visitors to explore subjects beyond the most familiar highlights, giving the complex considerable depth. The museums' scale and sequential layout make advance planning useful. Official tours and visitor information help identify a route that matches the time available, and the religious significance of some spaces shapes the expected conduct. Taking time for the courtyards and smaller galleries prevents the visit becoming only a passage towards the chapel. Together, the buildings and collections trace the relationship between art, scholarship and papal power over centuries.

282. Ossiano at Atlantis The Palm

     Dubai, UAE

     Ossiano Dubai is indeed a renowned fine dining restaurant located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Situated within the luxurious Atlantis, The Palm resort, Ossiano offers a unique dining experience characterized by its underwater setting. One of the most striking features of Ossiano is its stunning underwater setting. The restaurant is surrounded by a vast aquarium filled with marine life, providing diners with a captivating view of sea creatures as they enjoy their meals. Ossiano is known for its exquisite and innovative cuisine, which combines fresh seafood with modern culinary techniques. The menu features a variety of dishes prepared with the finest ingredients, offering a gourmet dining experience to guests. The restaurant offers a fine dining experience complete with impeccable service and attention to detail. From the elegant decor to the personalized service, Ossiano strives to create a memorable dining experience for its patrons. Ossiano offers a selection of signature dishes and tasting menus curated by its team of talented chefs. These menus showcase the restaurant's culinary expertise and commitment to delivering exceptional flavors and presentation. Ossiano has received numerous awards and accolades for its outstanding cuisine and dining experience. It is widely regarded as one of Dubai's top fine dining destinations, attracting both local residents and international visitors alike.

283. The Cliff at Cap

     Saint Lucia

     The Cliff at Cap takes its name from a setting that is central to the meal. At Cap Maison on Saint Lucia's northern coast, the restaurant looks towards Martinique and Pigeon Island, with the Caribbean stretching out below the dining room. Executive chef Craig Jones combines his classical French training with ingredients and influences from the island where he has long lived. The restaurant's published signature dishes include reef conch and tuna ceviche with mango balsamic jus, and pork belly with razor clams, squid and coconut foam. They give a clear sense of the kitchen's French and Caribbean conversation. Breakfast and lunch offer daylight views, while dinner lends itself to arriving as the sun lowers over the water. An à la carte menu and wine list allow guests to shape the meal around their preferences. The Cliff at Cap is especially appealing for travellers seeking a restaurant with a defined chef's perspective and a coastal setting that remains visible throughout the occasion.

284. The British Club

     Singapore

     The British Club in Singapore is a private hilltop club and dining destination at 73 Bukit Tinggi Road, Bukit Timah. Its official dining pages show several distinct outlets rather than a single restaurant, with the club describing itself as a community for members of more than 50 nationalities. The setting is framed as a secluded, greenery-surrounded retreat, which shapes the overall dining experience as club-based and residential rather than public street-side casual dining. Within the club’s current food offering, Mountbatten Bar and Grill focuses on premium grilled cuts and dry-aged steaks, with a notable emphasis on gin service and Fever-Tree mixers. Verandah Cafe provides a more relaxed family format beside the pool, serving local and western dishes alongside buffets, a children’s buffet bar and specific kids’ menu items. The club also lists Windsor Arms as a British gastropub with indoor and outdoor seating, live sports viewing and pub-style fare. Scores adds another casual option in the Sports Centre overlooking the tennis courts, combining grab-and-go food with build-a-salad choices, all-day brunches and screens for live matches. Splash Bar is positioned for swimmers and sunbathers, offering ice-cream, soft drinks and snacks. Taken together, the outlets suggest a club where dining ranges from full-service grill and gastropub to poolside, family and sports-centre convenience. The experience appears to be shaped by membership culture, with food service embedded in a broader social and sporting club rather than operating as a standalone restaurant. The official site highlights banquet space, sport and family facilities, and the dining venues are presented as part of that wider private-club environment. For visitors and members, the appeal is likely to be the choice of atmospheres within one address, from polished dinner service to informal terrace and poolside meals.

285. Spago

     Singapore

     Spago is a restaurant in Singapore.

286. Casa de Campo Resort and Villas

     Dominican Republic

     Casa de Campo combines golf, a marina and an equestrian centre in a large Caribbean resort. Three Pete Dye courses include Teeth of the Dog, now reopened after restoration, and Dye Fore. Altos de Chavón adds an artisan-built Mediterranean-style village overlooking the river. Accommodation ranges from casitas and Premier Suites to private villas with dedicated staff. Golf carts help guests move around the grounds, connecting the accommodation with beaches, restaurants and activities. A spa offers treatments between excursions, while dining moves between waterfront settings and the village's cobbled streets.

287. Viet Food

     London, UK

     Viet Food is a restaurant in London, UK.

288. Sackville Travel

     London, United Kingdom

     Sackville Travel is a south London agency whose Caribbean connections shape a broad programme of flights and holidays. Its Stockwell Road office provides a physical point of contact for travellers planning a beach escape, visiting family or organising a journey with several companions. Jamaica, Barbados and Saint Lucia are among the destinations within its regional offering. The company arranges resort holidays as well as flights, with options for couples, families and larger groups. Its Caribbean programme also recognises the importance of festivals and carnival travel, where the timing and purpose of a trip can differ from a conventional beach break. Advisors can help bring the flight and accommodation elements together around the traveller’s plans. A wider selection of destinations sits alongside this regional specialism, so the agency can also discuss alternatives or more extensive journeys. The service suits people who value being able to explain their requirements directly, especially when different departure points, travel dates or family needs must be considered. Its character is that of an established neighbourhood travel office with a reach well beyond London.

289. Mamak

     Sydney, Australia

     Mamak is a Malaysian restaurant in Sydney, and the branch identified here is the Chinatown address at 15 Goulburn Street in Haymarket. The business says its first restaurant opened in the Sydney CBD in 2007, and this branch sits within that central city setting. Service is intentionally informal: the Haymarket restaurant does not take reservations, which suits its role as a walk-in dining room in one of Sydney’s busiest eating precincts and gives it a direct, straightforward style. The food centres on Malaysian street-food staples, particularly roti, satay, curries and sambal dishes. The menu includes roti canai, roti telur, roti planta, roti bawang and roti telur bawang, alongside the taller, sweeter roti tisu. Satay is offered with chicken or beef. Curry choices include kari ayam, kari ikan, kari kambing and kari sayur, while sambal udang and sambal sotong bring seafood and chilli-led options into the range. Together, those dishes define the restaurant’s core style clearly. The menu extends beyond breads and skewers into a broader hawker-style spread of noodles, rice dishes, vegetables and richer cooked items, allowing tables to mix lighter and more substantial plates. Vegetable options include kangkung belacan and kacang panjang belacan. Some dishes are specifically marked as taking longer to prepare, including murtabak and roti bom, which distinguishes them from faster menu items and suggests extra assembly or cooking time. That mix supports both quick individual meals and more varied shared ordering. Alongside restaurant dining, Mamak also offers catering. Its catering menu includes satay, curries, fried chicken, rice, noodles and drinks, with orders arranged for pick-up. The broader brand traces its beginnings to three friends and inspiration from Kuala Lumpur street-stall culture, an identity that continues to shape the Haymarket branch. In practice, this Sydney restaurant comes across as a casual city venue focused on roti, curries, satay and shared savoury dishes, rather than a formal or heavily staged dining format.

290. Taj Mahal

     Agra, India

     The Taj Mahal stands beside the Yamuna River in Agra, its white marble mausoleum approached through a formal garden and a sequence of gateways and reflecting pools. Commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of Mumtaz Mahal, the complex combines an intimate commemorative purpose with a carefully ordered architectural setting. Its symmetry becomes clear from the central approach, where water and planting frame the principal building. Closer inspection reveals details that can disappear in distant photographs. Floral carving, calligraphy and inlaid stone enrich the marble surfaces, while the mausoleum's central dome and flanking minarets give the composition its measured proportions. The surrounding buildings and garden are part of the design, rather than simply a backdrop to the tomb. Walking through the complex allows these relationships to emerge gradually. The experience changes with the light as shadows move across the marble and reflections settle in the water. Visitors should distinguish admission to the grounds from any additional access required for the principal mausoleum. The Taj Mahal closes to general visitors on Fridays, so planning around that weekly pattern is essential. A deliberate pace leaves room to appreciate the craftsmanship as well as the celebrated overall view.

291. Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant

     Dubai, UAE

     Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant is in Villa 54-44 in Dubai’s Al Fahidi Historical District, placing it firmly in one of Old Dubai’s preserved heritage neighbourhoods. The MICHELIN Guide identifies it as an Emirati-cuisine restaurant, while Dubai tourism materials name it Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant in the Historical Neighbourhood of Al Fahidi. The venue is shown as operating and positioned as a destination for local cooking within a historically themed setting rather than as a conventional modern dining room. The restaurant’s character is shaped by its setting as part-restaurant, part-museum. The MICHELIN Guide describes an air-conditioned covered courtyard seated beneath a tree, alongside a terrace, with traditional robes worn by staff and live music contributing to the atmosphere. Bread is cooked within view, giving the meal an active, open-kitchen feel. Dubai tourism likewise presents the restaurant as a place to experience authentic Emirati flavours in a heritage environment. The food offer focuses on Emirati dishes presented with a clear regional identity. The MICHELIN Guide highlights salads and breads to begin, followed by lamb machboos as a sharing dish, with desserts including luqaimat and sticky date pudding. The emphasis is on rustic, flavour-led plates rather than broad fusion cooking, and the format suits a leisurely meal built around traditional recipes and familiar local staples. Service appears designed to support that slower pace and cultural emphasis. Practical details listed by the MICHELIN Guide include air conditioning, terrace seating, credit card acceptance, no alcohol service and no pets. Together with the museum-like styling, visible bread making and traditional dress, these details suggest an experience that is deliberately rooted in heritage presentation. The restaurant therefore stands out as a carefully framed Emirati dining room, where setting, service style and menu all reinforce its connection to Dubai’s older neighbourhood identity.

294. Uliassi

     Senigallia, Italy

     Uliassi stands beside the beach and harbour in Senigallia, bringing Mauro and Catia Uliassi’s restaurant into direct conversation with the Adriatic. The setting is coastal, but the cooking moves well beyond a straightforward seafood menu. Memories, travel and the traditions of the surrounding region inform a kitchen that approaches familiar flavours with both curiosity and precision. Seafood has a central role, appearing in preparations that may combine shellfish with citrus, herbs or spices. Smoked spaghetti with clams and roasted tomatoes illustrates the restaurant’s interest in building layers of flavour around recognisable ingredients. The menu also makes room for meat and game, with a dedicated game tasting route reflecting another side of the kitchen’s repertoire. Classic selections sit alongside a Lab menu devoted to newer ideas. Guests can choose a tasting experience or explore the à la carte offering, allowing different levels of immersion in the restaurant’s work. Bread and pastry form part of the progression, carrying the attention to flavour through the whole meal. Uliassi suits travellers exploring the Marche coast who want to understand how its food culture can be reinterpreted within a contemporary restaurant overlooking the sea.

295. Air France-KLM Flying Blue

     Paris, France

     Flying Blue links the networks of Air France, KLM and participating partner airlines in a shared loyalty programme. Members earn Miles through eligible travel and a range of hotel, car hire and other partnerships, creating a balance that can be used for future trips. Its dual connection with Paris and Amsterdam gives the programme a broad European centre of gravity. Miles and Experience Points, usually called XP, have separate roles. Miles are used for reward tickets and other eligible purchases, while XP contributes to membership status. Reward travel can be booked on Air France, KLM and participating partners, with the number of Miles and any additional charges depending on the journey and availability. This makes comparing itineraries a useful part of planning. Higher membership levels add benefits that can include priority services, additional baggage and lounge access, subject to the applicable rules. Non-airline partners provide options for members whose earning activity is not confined to flights. Flying Blue is therefore most useful when viewed as a way to connect regular travel with a future goal, whether a European weekend or a longer journey, while keeping status qualification and redemption value in perspective.

296. Twin-Tiered Infinity Pool at Hanging Gardens of Bali

     Payangan, Indonesia

     The twin-tiered infinity pool at Hanging Gardens of Bali follows the steep contours of a forested valley near Payangan. Its two curved levels appear to reach out over the trees, with the water's edge drawing attention towards the jungle beyond. Seen from the surrounding terraces, the arrangement becomes a distinctive architectural response to the hillside rather than a conventional rectangular resort pool. Swimming gives a closer sense of that relationship with the landscape. The upper and lower levels create different viewpoints, while the curved edges and vegetation keep the experience connected to the valley. Poolside spaces allow guests to pause between swims, and the nearby bar looks across the twin tiers, making the water part of the setting even when it is time for a drink. The pool belongs to a resort of villas and suites spread through the landscape above the Ayung River. A riverside spa, yoga and Balinese cooking experiences provide additional ways to spend time on site, while guided walks and cycling explore nearby villages and rice fields. The shared pool remains a particular focal point, offering a place where the resort's dramatic terrain can be experienced at a slower pace.

297. Yeni

     London, UK

     Yeni is a Turkish restaurant in Soho, London, at 55 Beak Street, W1F 9SH. The official site presents it as Civan Er’s London restaurant and links it to his earlier work at Yeni Lokanta in Istanbul. Michelin lists the same address and cuisine style, confirming the identity of this particular branch in central London and placing it firmly within the capital’s contemporary Turkish dining scene. The kitchen is built around Turkish cooking with an emphasis on open-fire methods and seasonal British produce. The website describes à la carte and tasting menus, while Michelin also records set sharing menus. The food offering includes both vegetarian and vegan dishes, and the restaurant’s approach draws on traditional techniques while presenting them in a modern Soho setting shaped by the produce available to the kitchen. Yeni’s contact details indicate that it accepts reservations and handles group bookings, private dining and special requests. That suggests a service style geared to both smaller tables and organised gatherings, rather than a purely casual walk-in operation. The official description emphasises a warm, welcoming atmosphere, which fits a restaurant that balances neighbourhood familiarity with the more structured demands of destination dining in central London. Taken together, the verified details show a focused Turkish restaurant with a clear Istanbul connection and a distinct London identity. Michelin notes the use of open fire and traditional Turkish techniques, while the official site stresses seasonal ingredients and cooking rooted in Civan Er’s background. The experience is therefore shaped by specific food preparation, a concise menu structure and attentive hospitality, rather than by unnecessary flourish or a wide-ranging format.

298. Secret Bay Villas

     Portsmouth, Dominica

     Secret Bay’s freestanding villas occupy a wooded coastal landscape at Tibay, near Portsmouth on Dominica. The setting combines steep greenery, views over the Caribbean and access to small beaches, giving the accommodation a close relationship with the island’s terrain. Different villa collections occupy distinct positions, from elevated treehouse-style structures to more open sites overlooking the sea. Timber architecture, covered terraces and open living areas are characteristic of the design. Every villa includes a private plunge pool and a full kitchen, allowing guests to settle into a household rhythm rather than organise each day around shared hotel spaces. Bedroom layouts vary, with options for couples, families and friends who want to remain close while retaining privacy. A dedicated villa host helps with meals, activities and the practical details of the stay. Resort dining, wellness facilities and watersports add to what is available at the house, while excursions introduce Dominica’s forests, rivers and volcanic landscapes. The experience is shaped by the contrast between an individually serviced retreat and a destination that rewards time outdoors, whether that means a quiet paddle or a more demanding island walk.

300. The O2

     London, United Kingdom

     The O2 occupies a vast domed structure on the Greenwich Peninsula, with its arena forming the centre of a wider entertainment destination. The building's broad white canopy and yellow masts are recognisable from across the Thames, while the interior brings together live events, restaurants, bars and leisure attractions. A visit can therefore extend well beyond the time spent at a concert. The arena hosts major music performances, comedy, sport and other productions, with layouts changing according to the event. The scale creates a substantial shared atmosphere, while surrounding hospitality areas offer different ways to attend. Outside the main arena, the covered entertainment district provides dining and activities that can be combined with an afternoon or evening programme. Up at The O2 adds an outdoor climb over the roof, giving visitors a different perspective on the building and the surrounding city. North Greenwich station provides the principal rail connection, and the riverside setting adds other possibilities for arrival and exploration. The venue works well for travellers who want a complete event-led outing, with enough nearby options to make the performance the centrepiece of a longer visit to this part of London.

301. RE-NAA

     Norway

     RE-NAA in Stavanger builds its tasting experience around seafood and the produce of Norway's south-western region. Sven Erik Renaa and his team draw on the sea, fjords, land, forests and mountains for the ingredients that shape the menu. The kitchen sits close to the tables in an intimate dining room, making the preparation of dinner part of the experience. The open arrangement creates a direct relationship between guests and the team rather than separating cooking from service behind a closed door. Wine and non-alcoholic pairings are both offered, with the sommelier team choosing drinks to follow the tasting menu. The extended format gives the kitchen room to explore the region through a sequence of courses.

302. Diamond Ballroom at Atlantis The Royal

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     The Diamond Ballroom at Atlantis The Royal is a contemporary setting for weddings, receptions and business gatherings on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah. Located within the resort’s dedicated event facilities, it gives private occasions an indoor focus alongside the wider property’s waterfront setting. The room is particularly suited to an event that needs a substantial principal space with supporting areas close at hand. Covering approximately 1,000 square metres, the ballroom can be divided into three sections. This allows the layout to respond to different guest numbers or to separate parts of a programme. A pre-function area supports arrivals and drinks, while the resort’s event facilities include a majlis and a bridal suite. These supporting rooms are useful when a celebration involves preparation, family gatherings and a seated reception. The events team coordinates planning, catering and technical requirements, with arrangements shaped around the occasion. Hotel accommodation and dining make it possible for guests to extend their visit beyond the main event. For organisers, the key is to consider the ballroom and its associated spaces together, matching the chosen configuration to the pace and character of the gathering.

303. The St. Regis Red Sea Resort

     Ummahat Islands, Saudi Arabia

     The St. Regis Red Sea Resort occupies an island setting in the Ummahat archipelago, with villas arranged between pale sand and clear water. Kengo Kuma's architecture takes cues from the surrounding coast, using curved forms that echo dunes and coral. Approaching by sea or air reinforces the separation from the mainland and the close relationship between the resort and its marine setting. Its collection of beach and overwater villas gives guests a choice of outlook and connection to the shore. Each has a private pool, with outdoor space designed for meals, reading and time beside the water. Interiors continue the restrained coastal palette, while the St. Regis butler service helps organise the practical details of a stay and experiences around the resort. Restaurants and lounges, a spa and a children's club provide different ways to shape the day. The Red Sea's underwater environment is a particular reason to venture beyond the villa, with marine activities complementing time on the beach. For families and couples alike, the resort combines a compact island geography with accommodation that offers substantial private space, allowing sociable dining and quieter hours to sit comfortably within the same stay.

304. Aramburu

     Argentina

     Aramburu is the Buenos Aires restaurant at Vicente López 1661, in Recoleta, and it is the own project of chef Gonzalo Aramburu. The official site says he has led the restaurant since 2007, while Michelin lists the same address in the city and confirms the current dining room as an independent venue. Together, those sources identify the exact branch and show a long-running, chef-led operation rather than a loose name or group format. The cooking is centred on a single surprise tasting menu, with seasonal and local produce shaping the sequence of courses. Michelin describes the cuisine as creative and notes an emphasis on originality, technique and presentation. The structure therefore places the chef’s judgement at the centre of the meal, with guests dining through a planned progression rather than selecting from an à la carte list or a fixed regional repertoire. The official website also notes a private dining room for up to 18 guests, making the restaurant suitable for discreet meetings and small private gatherings. Michelin adds that there is an adjoining lounge-bar area for coffee, dessert and a post-dinner cocktail, as well as practical touches such as air conditioning and credit cards accepted. These details point to a polished service style with spaces beyond the main dining room. Aramburu’s character is contemporary and ingredient-led, with the chef’s Argentine perspective expressed through a modern tasting format. Michelin highlights original snacks and maritime-inspired light bites within the menu, which suggests a sequence that moves between precise savoury courses and lighter interludes. The overall experience is formal yet focused, with careful pacing, detail in the kitchen and a strong sense of culinary authorship in a Recoleta setting.

305. Hundred Burgers

     Valencia, Spain

     Hundred Burgers is a restaurant in Valencia, Spain.

306. Cullinan Belek

     Belek, Türkiye

     Cullinan Belek occupies a broad stretch of the Mediterranean coast, with a private sandy beach on one side and golf greens shaping views inland. The resort's scale supports a varied all inclusive holiday, bringing together pools, restaurants, family facilities and a substantial spa. Contemporary rooms are arranged to face the sea, gardens or golf course, so the outlook is an important part of choosing accommodation. Swim up rooms offer direct access to a shared pool, and larger family and duplex layouts give guests additional space. The dining programme ranges from the main restaurant to more intimate à la carte settings and open air venues. Food and drink are available throughout the day and night within the resort's inclusive concept, although particular venues and services follow their own arrangements. An aquapark and the Upupa Kids Club provide organised activity for children, while the beach and pools allow families to spend time together at a gentler pace. Golf and C'espace Spa add further options for adults, with rounds and treatments worth checking against the chosen package. The result is a stay that can centre on the water, sport or dining without requiring much travel beyond the grounds.

307. COMO Parrot Cay

     Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands

     COMO Parrot Cay brings a sense of island seclusion to a Caribbean wedding. The resort occupies a private island reached by boat from Providenciales, with a broad beach and a low-rise setting that keep the sea central to the occasion. Celebrations can be intimate or form part of a larger gathering with friends and family staying on the island. The beach is a natural setting for a ceremony or evening meal, while selected restaurant and beach-club spaces offer alternatives for receptions. Some venues are available through exclusive-use arrangements, so the choice of location and the scale of the booking are considered together. Planning assistance covers details such as flowers, dining and the coordination of the ceremony, with arrangements tailored to the particular event. Accommodation ranges from hotel rooms and suites to villas and private residences, giving guests different ways to stay close to the celebration. COMO Shambhala wellness facilities, restaurants and time on the water provide a quieter rhythm between organised occasions. The property is especially suited to couples who want their wedding to feel part of an extended island retreat shared with their guests.

308. Tokyo Haneda Airport

     Tokyo, Japan

     Tokyo Haneda Airport combines international services with a substantial domestic network, placing it at the centre of many journeys through Japan. Its location within Tokyo makes it a practical gateway to the capital, while onward flights connect visitors with other regions. The terminals also offer enough food, shopping and public spaces to make an early arrival worthwhile. Observation decks are an especially appealing feature, allowing visitors to watch aircraft movements and take in the wider skyline. Terminal 3's Edo Koji brings a different atmosphere, with a streetscape inspired by historic Tokyo and a selection of restaurants and shops. These areas give the airport a stronger sense of local character than a simple collection of departure halls. Dining covers Japanese favourites as well as international choices, and practical services include baggage facilities, lounges and hotel options. Rail links through the Tokyo Monorail and Keikyu network connect Haneda with the city, alongside buses and taxis. As international and domestic flights use different terminal arrangements, confirming the departure terminal is useful. Haneda's distinctive quality is its combination of everyday Japanese travel, accessible city connections and places that invite visitors to pause and observe airport life.

312. Raffles London at The OWO

     London, United Kingdom

     Raffles London at The OWO occupies the former Old War Office on Whitehall, placing a hotel within a building closely associated with Britain’s political and military history. The restored interiors retain the scale and character of their earlier use while accommodating contemporary hospitality. Outside, the ceremonial streets of Westminster provide a particularly distinctive setting for a London stay. The hotel has 120 rooms and suites, with historical features helping to distinguish individual spaces. Generous proportions and modern furnishings make the accommodation comfortable for longer visits, while some suites occupy rooms associated with the building’s former working life. Guided historical tours provide context for the architecture and the people who passed through it, adding depth to the experience of staying here. Dining includes Mauro Colagreco’s restaurant, Mediterranean dishes at Saison and afternoon tea in The Drawing Room. The wider building offers further restaurants and bars, creating several options for an evening close to the room. Guerlain Spa includes a twenty-metre indoor pool, thermal facilities and treatment spaces, complemented by fitness programmes from Pillar Wellbeing. The result is a central London base with substantial facilities and a strong historical identity.

313. Mahé

     Mahé, Seychelles

     Mahé brings together the principal town life of Seychelles and the granite landscapes associated with the archipelago. Forested heights rise behind a coast of bays, beaches and rocky headlands, while Victoria adds markets, museums and religious buildings to the picture. The island works well as a destination in its own right, with enough variety to combine time by the sea with inland exploration. Beau Vallon, on the north-west coast, has a broad choice of accommodation and places to eat. Elsewhere, smaller coastal settlements and coves offer a different pace. The slopes of Morne Seychellois provide a contrast to the shoreline, with forest and elevated views making a journey into the interior feel distinct from a beach day. In Victoria, the clock tower, botanical gardens and cultural sites give context to the island’s role within Seychelles. Creole cooking reflects the meeting of African, European and Asian influences, with fish, spices and local produce central to many meals. Accommodation ranges from independent guesthouses and self-catering apartments to substantial coastal resorts. A base chosen with both beach conditions and planned excursions in mind makes it easier to appreciate Mahé’s varied character.

314. Sultan Mosque

     Singapore, Singapore

     Sultan Mosque anchors Kampong Glam, where a golden dome rises above Muscat Street and the surrounding shophouses. The mosque's origins date to 1824, placing it within the early history of modern Singapore and the neighbourhood's Malay and Muslim communities. Its present form combines a substantial prayer hall with decorative arches, towers and a distinctive silhouette. The building is particularly rewarding to explore as part of the streets around it. Approaching through the pedestrian lanes brings the dome into view above cafés, textile shops and historic façades, while closer inspection reveals the careful surface detail. The mosque remains an active religious institution, with congregational prayers, classes and community services giving it a purpose that extends well beyond its role as a heritage landmark. Visitors are welcomed under specific arrangements that allow the architecture and history to be explored respectfully. An organised visit can explain the mosque's development, its restoration and its relationship with Kampong Glam. Modest clothing and attention to prayer times are part of visiting appropriately. Combined with a walk through the surrounding district, Sultan Mosque offers a compact but revealing introduction to the layers of faith, trade and community in Singapore.

315. Paris Nord Villepinte

     Villepinte, France

     Paris Nord Villepinte is a major exhibition campus to the north-east of Paris, close to Charles de Gaulle Airport. Operated by Viparis, it is designed around large halls and connecting public spaces rather than a single landmark auditorium. Its location and layout make it particularly suited to international trade shows where visitors may spend several days moving between exhibitors, demonstrations and business meetings. The venue combines covered exhibition areas with meeting facilities and outdoor space. Individual events can occupy a selection of halls or extend across much of the site, with entrances, catering points and gathering areas arranged around their requirements. The atmosphere is therefore led by the programme, whether that means food industry showcases, design displays or specialist commercial exhibitions. The Parc des Expositions railway station provides a useful connection with the wider Paris region. Visitors should check the hall and entrance on their registration documents before travelling, as the campus is substantial and the route through a show can be long. Staying nearby keeps the working day straightforward, while a central Paris base offers more choice for evenings. Villepinte's appeal lies in bringing complex international exhibitions together within a dedicated and adaptable setting.

316. ARIA Resort & Casino

     Las Vegas, United States

     ARIA Resort & Casino brings a contemporary architectural approach to the Las Vegas Strip. Its curved glass towers rise within the CityCenter development, with spacious public areas and modern design establishing the character of the hotel. The setting places guests close to a concentration of restaurants and shops while retaining a distinct identity within the surrounding cityscape. Rooms and suites use large windows to draw in views, and in-room technology allows guests to adjust elements of the environment. Larger suites add separate living areas and more space to settle in. Pools, cabanas, fitness facilities and the spa offer a quieter programme during the day, balancing the activity of the public floors with places to pause. The casino includes table games, slots and a poker room, with cocktail lounges close to the action. Dining covers several cuisines and styles, creating scope for anything from an uncomplicated meal to a more carefully planned evening. ARIA’s appeal lies in the combination of a substantial casino resort with modern rooms and a clean architectural setting, particularly for visitors who prefer contemporary interiors and a broad choice of dining.

317. Delmonico’s

     Delmonico’s is a restaurant in New York, USA.

318. Jumby Bay Island Villas

     Jumby Bay Island, Antigua and Barbuda

     Jumby Bay Island's private villas bring the space and independence of a Caribbean home to a resort island off Antigua. The houses differ in character, with verandas, gardens and sea-facing living areas giving each its own relationship to the coast. Some sit directly beside the beach, while others look across landscaped grounds towards the water. The collection includes three-, four- and five-bedroom arrangements, with private pools, kitchens and outdoor gathering spaces varying by villa. Kestrel offers a three-bedroom setting with sea views, while larger homes accommodate families who want several bedrooms without giving up a shared centre for meals and conversation. Individually designed interiors keep the experience residential, and a dedicated butler helps coordinate the practical details of each stay. Villa guests have access to the island's restaurants and resort facilities, with a private chef available by arrangement. Days can include tennis, sailing, beach time and the children's club, followed by dinner at the historic Estate House or a more casual meal beside the sea. The combination of domestic space and organised island activities suits groups who want to spend time together while allowing everyone a little freedom.

319. Emirates Business Class

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Emirates Business Class combines a generous dining service with several distinct cabin designs across its Dubai based network. On the Airbus A380, the experience includes a seat that reclines into a fully flat bed and access to an onboard lounge.

Food follows the destinations the airline serves, with regional dishes and a selection of wines and other drinks. Meal preordering is available on selected routes, allowing passengers to choose their main course before departure. At the seat, the ice entertainment system offers films, television and music, while the A380's personal minibar keeps refreshments close at hand. Bedding provides a more comfortable surface when it is time to sleep. The wider fleet offers different experiences. Refurbished Boeing 777 cabins feature fully flat leather seats, while the Airbus A350 introduces updated technology and 4K entertainment screens. Earlier aircraft configurations remain part of the operation, so seating, aisle access and other features should be checked against the individual flight. The A380 lounge is specific to that aircraft and is not a feature of every Emirates Business Class service.

320. Pinehurst Resort

     North Carolina, United States

     Pinehurst Resort is a historic golf resort that has hosted more championships than any other site in America.

321. Bombardier Global 7500

     Dorval, Canada

     The Bombardier Global 7500 gives extended journeys the structure of a small residence, with four living areas arranged along its cabin. A dedicated crew suite and a substantial kitchen support long periods in the air, while the passenger spaces can be tailored around meetings, meals, entertainment and sleep. The distinction lies in how these activities can take place without requiring everyone on board to follow the same routine. Bombardier's proposed arrangements include a club lounge, a conference and dining space, an entertainment area and a principal suite. Adjustable Nuage seats provide different positions for work or relaxation. The principal suite can contain a full size bed and wardrobe, with a shower available in the adjoining bathroom configuration. These are options within a customised aircraft, so fittings and sleeping arrangements differ between examples. The Soleil lighting system adjusts the cabin's illumination, while the Pũr Air system combines fresh air with filtered circulation. Large windows keep the surroundings visually connected to the journey. For travellers taking lengthy international sectors, the Global 7500 offers particular value in the separation of spaces, allowing a quiet bedroom to coexist with a working or social cabin.

322. Presidential Suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo

     Tokyo, Japan

     The Presidential Suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo combines an elevated city outlook with interiors rooted in Japanese craftsmanship. High within Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi, it gives the surrounding metropolis a broad visual presence while using a restrained palette to keep the rooms composed. The result is a private setting in which the detail of the interior and the scale of Tokyo can be appreciated together. Ebony flooring and a carpet inspired by clouds establish the suite's material character. In the bedroom, a kumiko headboard made from rare Jindai cedar introduces the precision of traditional latticework. Living and dining spaces provide room for guests to spend time together, while the bathroom continues the quieter tones and carefully considered finishes. Large windows bring changing daylight and the city after dark into the experience. The accommodation sits within a hotel with restaurants, a spa and direct proximity to Tokyo Midtown's cultural and shopping spaces. This makes it possible to combine an active day in Roppongi with a more secluded return above the streets. The Presidential Suite's distinction lies in the balance between that metropolitan setting and the craft-led details that give the rooms a recognisably Japanese character.

325. Wynn Palace

     Cotai, Macao

     Wynn Palace occupies a substantial site in Cotai, with its hotel arranged around the Performance Lake. Choreographed fountains, elaborate floral displays and artworks give the resort a strong visual identity, while the SkyCab introduces an unusual way to view the grounds. The combination makes arrival and movement through the public spaces part of the experience. Rooms and suites are generously proportioned, with colourful interiors that use palettes including blue, yellow and orange. Selected accommodation looks towards the lake, allowing its changing displays to become part of the outlook. A swimming pool, spa and other wellness facilities provide a quieter programme, while larger suites and villas create alternatives for guests seeking more private living space. The casino sits alongside restaurants, a food hall and shopping, bringing several styles of evening together within the resort. Dining is a significant part of the offering, with Chinese regional cooking and international options represented. Wynn Palace is particularly appealing to travellers interested in design and theatrical public spaces, with enough variation in accommodation and facilities to support a stay extending beyond the gaming floor or a single restaurant reservation.

326. Le Palais

     Taipei, Taiwan

     Le Palais is the Chinese restaurant at Palais de Chine Hotel in Taipei, Taiwan, with the dining page placing it on the 17th floor of the hotel. The hotel’s main site locates Palais de Chine next to Taipei Main Station and the surrounding rail, metro and airport links, placing the restaurant within one of the city’s principal transport districts. The hotel also identifies Le Palais as a Muslim-friendly restaurant, making it a hotel-based dining venue with a clearly defined identity and setting. The dining pages present Le Palais through Cantonese cooking, specifically highlighting dim sum and luxurious banquet specialities. This positions the restaurant around Chinese cuisine rather than a broad, mixed hotel menu. The hotel also publishes lunch and dinner service for the restaurant, indicating a format centred on dedicated meal periods. Within that framework, Le Palais is described as a place for structured dining, with menu options shown by the hotel as set out in courses rather than as an all-day café or informal counter service. For groups and more secluded meals, Le Palais states that it has eleven private dining rooms. The hotel describes these rooms as blending oriental heritage with French aesthetics, giving private dining a distinct decorative identity within the restaurant. Separate hotel art material adds further detail to the approach and entrance, noting an antique door and stone basins reminiscent of an ancient Chinese courtyard. Those elements give the arrival a designed sense of ceremony and connect the restaurant’s setting with historical Chinese visual references. Practical house rules further define the experience. The hotel lists a smart-casual dress code for Le Palais, with restrictions on slippers, sandals, shorts and sleeveless clothing, and it notes that guide dogs are the only pets permitted. Reservation contact details are provided through the hotel’s dining information. Taken together, these published details present Le Palais as a carefully specified restaurant within Palais de Chine Hotel: a Cantonese-led dining room with private rooms, decorative period-inspired features and clearly stated service expectations in central Taipei.

327. Lasai

     Brazil

     Lasai is a restaurant in Humaitá, Rio de Janeiro, at Largo dos Leões 35, created by chef Rafa Costa e Silva and Malena Cardiel. It occupies an old Rio house and presents itself as a modern but informal dining room. Michelin places it in the city’s modern, innovative dining category, which matches a place that keeps the emphasis on food, service and a tightly managed guest experience rather than a broad à la carte offer. The restaurant works around a single tasting menu and accepts guests by reservation only. Its own description says the menu changes with the seasons, drawing on Brazilian ingredients from the chefs’ gardens and from small farmers in Rio de Janeiro. Vegetables are strongly featured, alongside fish and meat, and the kitchen uses modern techniques to build dishes around what is currently available and at its best. A central part of Lasai’s identity is its gardens, which the restaurant identifies as being in Itanhangá and Vale das Videiras. These plots feed ingredients and ideas into the kitchen, alongside produce from organic fairs, the sea and the land. The result is a menu built on freshness and variation, with the restaurant’s own material stressing seasonal produce rather than fixed dishes or a long list of choices. Michelin describes the room as a 10-seat counter dining experience, with air conditioning and valet parking among the practical facilities. It also notes an optional wine pairing and advises advance booking and punctual arrival because service starts at the same time for everyone. Taken together, these details point to an intimate restaurant where the counter setting, single menu and seasonal kitchen shape a focused evening in Rio de Janeiro.

328. Ferreira Café

     Montreal, Canada

     Ferreira Café is a restaurant on Peel Street in downtown Montreal, at 1446 Peel Street, H3A 1S8. The official site presents it as a Portuguese house in the centre of the city, with a focus on convivial dining and a business-lunch setting. It is open for lunch on weekdays and for dinner on weekday and Saturday evenings, with earlier opening on match nights or major events at the Bell Centre. The menu structure shows a distinct lunch menu, evening menu, after-9 table d’hôte, wine list and cocktails, plus group menus. Official pages also mention dishes sold through the restaurant’s shop, including cod fritters, fish and seafood bouillabaisse, cod gratin, bifana, chouriço and family dishes such as roasted Quebec lamb and octopus Lagareiro, which points to a seafood-leaning Portuguese kitchen with both individual plates and larger sharing formats. The restaurant offers private dining facilities alongside the main room. The official website identifies a private room for 25 to 150 people that is separate from the restaurant, as well as the Rosa Room for up to 20 people, located within the main restaurant. The reservation pages also indicate that bookings can be made online or by telephone, supporting both everyday dining and event use. Overall, Ferreira Café appears to combine an urban lunch-and-dinner restaurant with a strong Portuguese identity, a substantial wine offering and spaces suited to private functions. Its online presentation emphasises warm, shared dining rather than formality, while the range of menus, room options and specialty products suggests a polished but lively restaurant experience in central Montreal.

329. Mercado Little Spain

     New York, USA

     Mercado Little Spain is a restaurant in New York, USA.

330. Adare Manor

     Adare, Ireland

     Adare Manor occupies a Gothic Revival house and landscaped estate beside the River Maigue in County Limerick. Towers, stone detailing and formal gardens give the arrival a strong architectural character, while the interiors combine restored historic spaces with contemporary hotel comforts. Rooms and suites use period-inspired furnishings and marble bathrooms, with outlooks across the river, gardens, courtyard or golf course. Golf is woven into the estate rather than separated from it. The course was redesigned by Tom Fazio, with the river and mature grounds contributing to its setting. Practice facilities and the Carriage House support the experience before and after play, while the hotel offers arrangements for guests planning a golfing stay. The contrast between broad fairways and the manor's elaborate stonework is particularly distinctive. The Oak Room provides formal dining, with other restaurants and lounges offering a different pace. A spa, relaxation pool and estate activities create alternatives for non-golfers or quieter afternoons. Nearby Adare adds village streets and thatched buildings to the itinerary. The result is a country-house stay where golf, architecture and the surrounding landscape carry comparable weight.

331. Paradiso

     Barcelona, Spain

     Paradiso begins with an unusual entrance in Barcelona’s El Born district: a refrigerator door inside a pastrami bar leads into the cocktail room. Beyond it, curved wooden forms create an enveloping interior that the owners liken to the frame of a whale. The transition from an everyday shopfront to this carefully staged setting establishes the character of the visit. The cocktail menu combines culinary techniques with an interest in texture, aroma and presentation. Drinks such as Perception bring savoury ingredients, including tomato and celery, into conversation with fruit and spirits. Other creations explore combinations of sherry, smoked pineapple, coconut, citrus or floral notes. The details change as ideas develop, but the approach consistently treats the drink as something to experience through several senses. Research takes place in Paradiso’s own laboratory, where the team explores new methods and serving ideas. In the bar, that work becomes an evening of distinctive glasses, unexpected flavour combinations and conversation about what is being served. The original Rera Palau address suits visitors who want a cocktail stop with a strong sense of place and a theatrical approach to hospitality.

332. The Pizza Bar on 38th

     Tokyo, Japan

     The Pizza Bar on 38th is a restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.

333. Dar Moha

     Marrakech, Morocco

     Dar Moha is a restaurant in Marrakech, Morocco, at 81 Rue Dar El Bacha in the Medina. The official city tourism listing identifies it as a Moroccan restaurant, while the restaurant’s own website presents it as a gourmet address in the historic centre. That establishes Dar Moha as a defined dining business in the old city, with a clear location and a focus on Moroccan cookery rather than a general-purpose venue. The setting is a significant part of the experience. Dar Moha occupies an 18th-century riad and the site notes its former association with Pierre Balmain. The tourism listing describes a garden, a fountain and a pool decorated with zellij inspired by Amazigh art, while the restaurant’s pages reference elegant interior spaces. Together these verified details suggest a heritage property arranged for dining in rooms and courtyards. The food presentation centres on Moroccan cuisine served in a more composed format. The official pages show tasting-style menus and dishes including salads, pastilla, tagines and couscous, and the English site describes traditional Moroccan cooking presented with modern technique. That points to a meal sequence built around local flavours and seasonal preparation, with lunch and dinner service shaping the pace of the visit. The emphasis is on cuisine and setting working together. Practical details also support restaurant use. The website provides reservation contact details and direct communication by telephone or email, and the location in the Medina places Dar Moha within Marrakech’s historic urban fabric. Overall, the verified facts point to a refined Moroccan restaurant with a riad setting, courtyard character and menu rooted in Marrakech tradition, rather than an informal eatery or a broader hospitality complex.

334. Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

     United Kingdom

     Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester is the signature dining room of The Dorchester on Park Lane in Mayfair, London, operated by Dorchester Collection. It is presented by the hotel as a three-Michelin-starred restaurant and is identified as one of the group’s principal dining addresses in the capital, with the venue focused on evening service from Tuesday to Saturday. The setting is described as contemporary and elegant, with warm wood-panelled interiors and a formal dining-room atmosphere suited to fine dining. The kitchen is led by chef patron Jean-Philippe Blondet, who works within Alain Ducasse’s French culinary philosophy. The restaurant’s official description emphasises contemporary French haute cuisine, seasonal ingredients and dishes shaped by freshness and a lighter style. Menus include à la carte, tasting and a dedicated Menu Jardin, suggesting a structured approach that can accommodate both a more exploratory meal and a longer, seasonal progression. Food and wine service are central to the experience. The restaurant maintains a carefully curated wine list with an executive wine director and head sommelier support, and the official pages highlight a tailored wine service for guests. Dining options also include private rooms such as Table Lumière, Salon Privé and Salon Park Lane, with the private-dining spaces presented as part of the restaurant rather than as separate venues. Practical details reinforce the sense of a polished, formal restaurant rather than a casual hotel outlet. The dress code is smart-casual, with jackets and collared shirts preferred, and long trousers requested for gentlemen. Children over ten are welcome, and the restaurant states that it can cater for dietary requirements when informed in advance, making it a controlled, highly individualised dining experience within one of London’s best-known luxury hotels.

335. Dubai World Trade Centre

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Dubai World Trade Centre combines a substantial convention and exhibition campus with a central position beside Sheikh Zayed Road. The original Sheikh Rashid Tower remains a recognisable landmark, while the surrounding halls, meeting spaces and hotels reflect the development's continuing role in the city's business life. It is a practical setting for visitors whose schedules combine formal sessions, meetings and evening events. The venue offers interconnected halls, ballrooms, meeting rooms and smaller hospitality spaces. Rooms above the exhibition concourses can accommodate breakout discussions, training sessions or media activity, with audiovisual equipment and internet connectivity. Larger areas can be divided or combined to suit conferences, trade exhibitions and banquets, while in-house teams support catering, production and event operations. A dedicated metro station provides a useful connection to other parts of Dubai, and restaurants, cafés and hotels cluster around the campus. This allows delegates to step out for a meal or continue discussions away from the main event floor without a long journey. The venue's distinctive quality is its integration into an established business neighbourhood, offering both the scale required by international gatherings and the smaller spaces needed for the conversations around them.

336. Nikki Beach Saint-Tropez

     Ramatuelle, France

     Nikki Beach Saint-Tropez brings a pool-centred beach-club experience to the Pampelonne area of Ramatuelle. Umbrella pines, pale daybeds and an open restaurant frame the setting, which combines a Riviera lunch address with a deliberately social afternoon scene. The club's layout gives the pool and its surrounding lounge areas a prominent role, with dining and drinks close at hand. The menu draws on Mediterranean cooking and influences from the wider Nikki Beach collection. Seafood, sushi and sharing dishes fit the leisurely pace of an early lunch, while cocktails and wine accompany time on the daybeds. Different restaurant sittings have different moods, with the earlier service generally more relaxed and the later gathering becoming increasingly lively. Resident and visiting DJs, performances and themed occasions form part of the seasonal programme. A visit is therefore as much about the atmosphere as the location, particularly for groups planning a sociable day together. The venue operates seasonally and closes during the quieter part of the year. Checking its opening period and reserving the preferred dining or pool arrangement makes it easier to match the experience to the occasion.

337. Cathay Pacific

     Hong Kong, China

     Cathay Pacific centres its network on Hong Kong, connecting the city with destinations across Asia and further afield. Its home base gives the airline a particular role in journeys that combine regional travel with longer intercontinental flights. The onboard style draws on that setting, with Hong Kong flavours and a restrained approach to cabin design forming part of its identity. Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First Class are offered in different combinations across the fleet. Selected aircraft feature the Aria Suite in Business Class, while other services retain different seating products. Entertainment, dining and connectivity also depend on the route and aircraft, so the specific flight provides a clearer picture than the cabin name alone. Menus combine Asian and international influences. The Hong Kong hub adds another layer to the journey through Cathay's lounges for eligible travellers and the airport's wider dining and shopping facilities. Cathay membership links flights with Asia Miles and status recognition, extending the relationship into travel and lifestyle partners. For passengers who value Hong Kong as a destination or connecting point, the airline offers a coherent combination of network, regional character and several levels of onboard space and privacy.

338. Yakumanka

     Barcelona, Spain

     Yakumanka is a Peruvian restaurant in Barcelona’s Eixample, at Carrer de València 207, 08007, and the official pages present it as Yakumanka Barcelona by Gastón Acurio. That identifies a specific dining room rather than a generic brand entry. The address places it in a busy central district of the city, while the branding signals a clear culinary focus rooted in Peruvian cooking and contemporary restaurant service. The menu foregrounds seafood and cevichería dishes, with official material referring to selected fish and a daily market-led offer. Guide Repsol classifies the cooking as Peruvian-Asian and lists ceviche, marisco and pescado among its tags. Named dishes include ceviche clásico and tiradito ponzu rocoto, alongside fish served whole or fried in a nikkei style, which points to a marine-led menu shaped by sharp seasoning and bright acidity. Service details suggest a practical, welcoming dining room suited to a range of guests. Guide Repsol notes reservations, takeaway and group bookings, together with terrace seating. It also records facilities for children, including high chairs and a baby-changing area, and describes the venue as accessible. The same listing indicates that children are welcome and that there are options for coeliac diners, supporting a broadly accommodating approach. Taken together, the available information shows Yakumanka as a focused Peruvian seafood restaurant with a contemporary character rather than a formal tasting-menu venue. Its Barcelona address, chef association and emphasis on ceviche, tiradito and fish from the market give it a distinct identity in the Eixample. The result is a specialist city-centre address built around produce-led cooking, straightforward hospitality and a recognisable Peruvian flavour profile.

339. Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl

     Switzerland

     At Les Trois Rois in Basel, Cheval Blanc follows Peter Knogl's approach to French haute cuisine, drawing additional flavours from the Mediterranean and Asia. Seasonal ingredients shape both a tasting menu and individual dishes, with careful sauces and contrasts of texture running through the cooking. An autumn menu pairs young smoked eel with beetroot, fermented garlic and wasabi, followed by Breton lobster with Château Chalon and caviar. Red mullet arrives with crisp scales, saffron and tomato vinaigrette, while Styrian venison is accompanied by celeriac mousseline and Rouennaise sauce. A cheese selection from Maître Antony in Ferrette and praline parfait with lemon and Piedmont hazelnuts complete the longer menu. These combinations make Knogl's international influences tangible within a classical framework.

340. Kategna

     Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

     Kategna is a restaurant in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

341. Khufu’s

     Giza, Egypt

     Khufu’s is a restaurant on the Giza Plateau in Nazlet El-Semman, Al Haram, Giza, with its official address placing it within the plateau setting rather than in a separate hotel or retail development. The restaurant’s own material ties the experience closely to its location, presenting the site as central to its identity. It describes a concept shaped by Egyptian dining heritage and by the particular character of its surroundings, making the setting an essential part of how the restaurant is introduced to guests. The menu information supplied on the restaurant’s official site shows dedicated breakfast, lunch and beverages sections. Among the breakfast dishes, the breakfast platter brings together fava beans, falafel, eggs, smoked eggplant, fries seasoned with street spices, homemade marmalade and cottage cheese, served with bread. These details indicate a menu that draws on familiar Egyptian staples and recognisable combinations, with a format that moves from morning dishes into later daytime dining rather than presenting only a single meal period. Arrival is organised around the access arrangements for the wider Giza Plateau. The reservations information states that entry to the plateau is through the Fayoum Gate entrance, and that guests need a Giza Plateau entry ticket before continuing. From the Visitor Center, a shuttle bus takes diners directly to Khufu’s. The same page notes that there is no formal dress code, while asking guests to maintain respectful behaviour, keep noise low and move steadily in keeping with the nature of the setting. Taken together, the official pages present Khufu’s as a destination restaurant whose identity is inseparable from its position on the plateau. Its guest information emphasises managed access and conduct suited to the location, while the menu details point to breakfast dishes built around bread, beans, eggs, dairy and vegetable preparations. Children are welcome, so the restaurant is not limited to adult parties alone. The overall picture is of a place defined by location, structured arrival and food rooted in Egyptian dining references.

343. Lilia

     New York, USA

     Lilia is an Italian restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at 567 Union Avenue, on the corner of North 10th and Union. The official site identifies Missy Robbins as the chef behind the restaurant and presents Lilia as a place for dinner in a distinctly Brooklyn setting. Its location and focus give it a clear identity as a standalone neighbourhood dining room rather than a hotel venue or multi-purpose complex. The dinner menu centres on Italian cooking with woodfire elements running through the selection. Listings are organised into antipasti, grilled fish, pasta, meat and vegetable sections, alongside cocktails and a wine list. Dishes such as rigatoni diavola, mafaldini, ricotta gnocchi, grilled clams, scallops and black bass point to a kitchen that balances handmade pasta with seafood and seasonal produce. Lilia also has a defined private-events offer. The restaurant states that parties of up to six may dine à la carte, while a semi-private room can host 12 to 20 guests with a seasonal shared menu. A full buyout is also available for approximately 85 guests, so the space can accommodate both intimate meals and larger hosted gatherings while remaining aligned with the restaurant’s Italian dining format. Reservations can be made through Resy or by email, and the site describes the food in terms of warm hospitality and simple ingredients. Taken together, the address, menu structure and event details show a Brooklyn restaurant built around careful cooking, a substantial drinks selection and flexible seating arrangements. The experience is shaped primarily by the kitchen and dining room rather than by any secondary facilities or entertainment programme.

     A. Wong is a restaurant in London, UK.

346. Viking

     Basel, Switzerland

     Viking approaches cruising through an interest in places, history and culture, with separate river, ocean and expedition fleets. The ships are designed for different environments, from European waterways and coastal ports to remote polar waters. Across these settings, the emphasis is on a considered daily programme and interiors that draw on Scandinavian design rather than a busy resort atmosphere. Ocean ships feature veranda accommodation, light-filled public rooms and spaces for lectures, reading and conversation. Restaurants, a spa, swimming facilities and observation areas provide variety during time at sea. River vessels offer a closer relationship with the passing landscape and the towns along their routes, while expedition ships add equipment and specialist spaces suited to exploring more distant environments. Shore visits and onboard enrichment connect the journey with local art, architecture, food and history. The experience varies substantially between a river itinerary, an ocean sailing and an expedition, so the region and type of vessel deserve equal attention when choosing a trip. Viking is a natural fit for travellers who want their cruise to function as a moving base for cultural exploration, with comfortable surroundings and a relatively calm rhythm between destinations.

347. Paste

348. Six Senses Douro Valley

     Portugal

     At Six Senses Douro Valley, a nineteenth-century manor overlooks the Douro and its vineyard terraces. The hotel near Lamego combines the proportions of a country house with contemporary Portuguese design, accommodation ranging from rooms and suites to villas. The Vineyard Deluxe rooms show how location changes the experience: fourth-floor rooms have terraces, while those on the fifth floor look towards the vines. Their living areas and wine fridges bring the valley's central interest into the room. Beyond the accommodation, the Wine Library and Terrace introduce local vintages with sommelier guidance. Meals draw on herbs and vegetables grown in the grounds as well as regional produce. Guests can explore wineries, cruise the river or stay for spa treatments, a swim in the heated pool and yoga in the pavilion.

349. Zermatt

     Swiss Alps

     Zermatt is a mountain destination shaped by the Matterhorn, with skiing, hiking and mountaineering forming the core of its appeal. The surrounding Alpine terrain gives visitors different ways to experience the landscape according to the season and their preferred pace. Matterhorn Ski Paradise supports winter visits, while summer skiing provides another way onto the high-mountain snow. Winter walkers and snowshoers have their own network, including around 70 kilometres of marked winter hiking trails. In warmer months, routes range from leisurely walks to more demanding mountain objectives, with cycling adding another option. Family activities broaden the destination beyond experienced skiers and climbers. Zermatt suits travellers who want a developed Alpine base from which the Matterhorn and surrounding peaks remain central to each day.

350. Peter Luger Steak House

     New York, USA

     Peter Luger Steak House in Brooklyn, New York, is the original Peter Luger restaurant and the business’s flagship steakhouse. The official site places it at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge and gives the Brooklyn address as 178 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211. The house is family owned and operated, and the company says the restaurant has been established since 1887. The menu centres on USDA Prime beef, with the restaurant stating that only carefully selected short loins are considered and that the beef is dry-aged on site. The Brooklyn menu includes steaks for two, three or four, as well as a single steak and rib steak for one or two. It also lists starters such as sliced tomatoes and onions, thick-sliced bacon, shrimp cocktail and crab cake, alongside salmon, sole and lamb chops. Dining is straightforward rather than elaborate, with a classic steakhouse range of vegetable sides including French fried potatoes, creamed spinach, onion rings and baked potato. Desserts include apple strudel, cheesecake, chocolate mousse, fruit tarts and the “Holy Cow” hot fudge sundae, served with homemade whipped cream. The restaurant also offers a burger at lunch, served daily until mid-afternoon, reinforcing its daytime as well as dinner trade. For private use, the Brooklyn location can accommodate banquets of up to 60 people, and the restaurant says private functions are available there. It does not accept credit cards on site; accepted payment methods are the Peter Luger Card, US checks with photo ID, US debit cards and cash. The overall impression is of a long-established New York steakhouse that emphasises meat selection, traditional sides and an old-school service format.

351. Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort

     Soufrière, Saint Lucia

     Sugar Beach places a wedding within the landscape of Saint Lucia’s Pitons, where forested mountain slopes meet the Caribbean. The resort’s position near Soufrière creates a distinctive backdrop, whether the ceremony is held close to the shore or within the gardens. Its different venues allow the mountains, greenery and sea to play varying roles in the day. Options include beach settings, terraces and spaces associated with the resort’s restaurants and bars. The wedding team helps match the venue to the style of celebration, from a small ceremony to a more substantial gathering. Dining and the progression between ceremony, drinks and reception can be considered together, so the event makes use of the setting without feeling tied to one location. Villas, bungalows and residences provide accommodation for guests, with some offering private pools and additional living space. The Rainforest Spa, beach activities and restaurants give visiting friends and family things to do around the main celebration. For couples wanting a wedding holiday as well as a ceremony, the resort combines a visually striking setting with the facilities needed to spend several days together.

352. Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah, Riyadh

     Riyadh

     Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah stands in Riyadh's Olaya district beside Al Faisaliah Tower and its shopping mall. Reimagined by Tihany Design, the rooms and public spaces combine contemporary interiors with Saudi-inspired artworks, custom chandeliers and Arabian decorative references. Around-the-clock butler service extends across the accommodation. Dining ranges from international cooking at La Brasserie to modern European dishes at The Globe, set in the tower's golden sphere with panoramic city views. Wellness is divided between a dedicated ladies' spa and men's health-club facilities. A swimming pool, fitness provision and tennis court add active options, while the hotel's halls and meeting spaces make larger gatherings a substantial part of the property.

353. Forte Village Resort

     Sardinia

     Forte Village spreads across 123 acres of gardens on Sardinia's southern coast, with a beach, several swimming pools and a choice of eight hotels, suites and private villas. Accommodation ranges from family bungalows to villas with their own gardens and pools, allowing the stay to centre on a larger resort or a more secluded residence. Dining moves between regional Italian cooking, buffets, show kitchens and chef-led restaurants. A dedicated children's restaurant caters for younger guests, including babies. Sports academies and activities for children and teenagers make recreation a substantial part of the resort, while Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa adds a separate programme of seawater-based wellness.

354. Aspen

     Colorado

     Aspen combines a lively mountain town with access to four distinct ski areas: Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass. A single Aspen Snowmass lift ticket opens all four, allowing skiers and snowboarders to choose terrain to suit their ability and mood. Aspen Mountain rises directly from downtown. Highlands attracts confident skiers to its steeper terrain and hike-to Highland Bowl, while Buttermilk combines gentler runs with terrain parks. Snowmass offers the largest area, with long groomed trails and tree skiing. When the snow retreats, gondola sightseeing, hiking and mountain biking bring a different perspective. Mountain restaurants and the town’s cultural programme extend the experience beyond the slopes.

355. Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort

     Al Jabal Al Akhdar, Oman

     Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort occupies a canyon-edge setting in Oman's mountains, where terraces and viewing points look across deeply cut valleys. The architecture draws on local forms, with courtyards and water features linking the public spaces. Cooler mountain conditions and the changing light on the rock give the property a different rhythm from a coastal resort. Rooms have canyon views and private balconies, while villas offer their own pools in garden or cliffside settings. The spa combines treatment rooms with hammam experiences, and fitness facilities support a more active routine. A shared pool and outdoor areas provide further places to pause between excursions. Diana's Point, a viewing platform above the canyon, is a particularly memorable part of the layout. The surrounding area offers traditional villages, terraced farms and walking routes that reveal the mountain's agricultural life. Dining within the resort can be paired with these outings or with a quieter day spent enjoying the views. The final approach requires a suitable four-wheel-drive vehicle, which the resort can help arrange. This sense of arrival reinforces the property's appeal as a mountain retreat where landscape, outdoor activity and spa time are closely connected.

356. ANA All Nippon Airways

     Tokyo, Japan

     ANA links Japan's domestic network with international routes, giving travellers a way to combine a long-haul arrival with onward journeys around the country. Tokyo's Haneda and Narita airports are central to that operation, while other Japanese gateways support regional travel. The airline's identity is expressed through Japanese service traditions, seasonal food and a range of cabin designs. The onboard experience depends on the aircraft. Selected Boeing 777 services feature THE Room, a Business Class seat with a sliding door and direct aisle access, while other configurations use different seating. Economy, Premium Economy and First Class are available on relevant routes and aircraft. This variety makes the seat map and operating type useful details when planning a journey. Dining draws on Japanese and international cooking, with menus and service adapted to the cabin and flight. ANA lounges support eligible passengers at its main gateways, and Star Alliance membership connects the airline with a broader partner network. Its practical appeal lies in joining international access with extensive domestic connections, allowing a trip to move beyond Tokyo while retaining a consistent airline relationship. The experience works especially well when the flight and onward itinerary are considered together.

357. North Island Villas

     North Island, Seychelles

     North Island's eleven private villas sit within a Seychelles landscape of granite, tropical vegetation and pale beaches. Their broad, open interiors use natural materials to connect the accommodation with its surroundings. The result is a particularly secluded form of island living, with space to settle into a villa rather than treat it simply as a bedroom between excursions. Beachfront Villas are arranged along the island's eastern shore, while Villa North occupies a more secluded position at the end of the beach. Generous living areas and outdoor spaces provide room for long meals, reading and quiet afternoons. The emphasis is on the relationship between house and landscape, with timber, stone and organic textures giving the accommodation a relaxed character. Beyond the villas, guests can follow island trails, spend time on or beneath the water, or visit La Vie spa. North Island's conservation work includes forest restoration and monitoring nesting sea turtles, adding a useful ecological dimension to a stay. Dining can be organised in different settings around the island. With so few villas, the scale remains intimate, and days can unfold around privacy, nature and the interests of each party.

358. Air Canada Aeroplan

     Montréal, Canada

     Aeroplan connects Air Canada's network with a broad group of airline and travel partners. Members collect points through eligible flights and other qualifying activity, then use them towards travel rewards. Its international partnerships are a defining feature, giving the programme relevance to journeys that extend well beyond Canada or combine several airlines within one itinerary. Flight rewards can be searched through Air Canada's booking channels, with the points required influenced by the route, distance, operating carrier and availability. The programme also offers ways to use points for other parts of a trip. Family Sharing allows participating members to combine eligible points in a shared balance, which can make it easier for a household to work towards a common travel goal. Aeroplan Elite Status is distinct from the redeemable points balance and carries its own qualification rules and benefits. That distinction matters for travellers comparing occasional reward use with the advantages of frequent flying. The programme rewards careful planning: checking partner availability, understanding the cash component and looking at alternative routings can all affect a redemption. Its central attraction is the ability to bring different travel activity into one account and apply it to future journeys.

359. Incheon International Airport

     Incheon, South Korea

     Incheon International Airport is South Korea's main international gateway, linking the Seoul metropolitan area with destinations around the world. Its terminals combine the practical demands of long-haul travel with spaces devoted to Korean culture, shopping and food. For many visitors, the airport offers both a first introduction to the country and a final opportunity to explore its products and flavours. Cultural facilities are a distinctive part of the experience. The Korean Cultural Street recreates elements of traditional architecture, while exhibitions and performances bring changing perspectives on Korean heritage and contemporary life into the terminal. These attractions sit alongside restaurants, cafés and retail areas, allowing passengers to shape a longer wait around something more engaging than the departure screen. Transfer services, rest areas and lounges support connecting travellers, with facilities and access varying between terminals. Rail and road transport link the airport with Seoul and other destinations, and eligible passengers with sufficient time can explore organised transit-tour options. The airport's scale makes it useful to plan around the correct terminal and gate. Its appeal lies in the combination of international reach and a visible Korean identity throughout the passenger journey.

360. Shiro Lagos

     Nigeria

     Shiro Lagos offers pan-Asian dining at its Oniru address, with Japanese and Chinese cooking among the principal influences. Sushi forms a substantial part of the menu alongside dim sum and wok-prepared dishes. The restaurant's design draws on Asian visual references, with large sculptures contributing to a distinctive dining room. The setting gives the venue a strong identity within Lagos's restaurant scene. The broad menu allows a meal to move between sushi, smaller dishes and cooked preparations, making it possible for a table to explore several parts of the offering. Sunday brunch provides another format for visiting the restaurant.

361. Kingsbarns Golf Links

     Kingsbarns, United Kingdom

     Kingsbarns Golf Links follows the North Sea coast a short journey south of St Andrews. The sea remains a presence throughout the round, with fairways arranged across coastal terraces and views opening towards the shoreline. Although golf has older roots here, the present course is a modern design by Kyle Phillips, created to draw its character from traditional Scottish linksland. Broad sightlines reveal the choices ahead, while undulations, bunkers and changes in elevation keep the golf varied. Some holes run close to the water; others look down over the course and coastline. The setting encourages an appreciation of the landscape without removing the need for precise approaches and thoughtful club selection. Coastal wind can substantially change the demands of a hole from one round to the next. The clubhouse offers a place to pause before or after play, with practice facilities and caddie arrangements supporting visiting golfers. Tee times should be reserved through the club, which publishes its seasonal playing information. Kingsbarns combines naturally with a stay in St Andrews, though its own coastal outlook and spacious routing give the round a distinct identity.

362. Machu Picchu

     Machu Picchu, Peru

     Machu Picchu occupies a mountain ridge in Peru's Cusco region, where terraces and finely worked stone buildings follow the contours of an extraordinary Andean setting. Built during the Inca period, the site brings architecture, agriculture and landscape into unusually close alignment. Its significance lies as much in that careful adaptation to the mountains as in any individual temple or viewpoint. The archaeological city contains agricultural terraces and an urban sector with ceremonial spaces, residences and passages. Stonework varies according to the role of each structure, inviting visitors to look beyond the familiar panorama. The surrounding sanctuary extends into a richly varied natural environment between the Andes and the Peruvian Amazon, with forested slopes and the Urubamba River adding context to the city above. Visits follow designated circuits and routes, so the ticket selected determines which parts of the site can be explored. A general visit does not automatically include the surrounding mountain hikes or every archaeological feature. Planning the route before organising trains, buses or guided walks helps align the journey with the experience intended. Once inside, the changing angles of terraces, rock and mountains reward close observation alongside the wider views.

363. Atlantis Ballroom at Atlantis, The Palm

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     The Atlantis Ballroom provides a substantial indoor gathering space at Atlantis, The Palm, on the outer crescent of Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah. Part of the resort’s conference and events facilities, it accommodates the practical demands of large celebrations while keeping guests within a hotel setting. Weddings, gala dinners and corporate gatherings can all be organised around the same principal room. A dedicated pre-function area and private terrace give the ballroom useful supporting spaces. These allow arrivals, drinks and informal conversation to form separate stages of an occasion, rather than placing every activity around the dining tables. The main room can be arranged to reflect the format of the event, with seating, presentation requirements and circulation planned together. Atlantis provides event coordination, catering and audiovisual support, giving organisers a single property within which to resolve many of the details. Accommodation and restaurants are available for guests who wish to stay on either side of a celebration. The venue’s distinctive combination is therefore the scale of its ballroom, the additional terrace and reception areas, and the setting of a full-service resort on the Palm.

364. Connaught Bar

     London, United Kingdom

     Connaught Bar offers a composed setting for cocktails within The Connaught on Carlos Place in Mayfair. Leather seating, marble tables, mirrored surfaces and softly lit corners create a room in which the details reward attention. The atmosphere suits a drink before dinner or an evening spent exploring the menu at a more measured pace. The Martini Trolley is a defining part of the service. Guests can select aromatic bitters to shape their preferred version of the drink, making its preparation a personal exchange with the bartender. The bar also produces its own gin, while the wider list brings together signature cocktails, vintage serves, wines and spirits. New creations are introduced through the year as ingredients and ideas change. Canapés provide a savoury accompaniment, and the hotel’s restaurants make it possible to continue the evening within the same address. The experience is centred on the relationship between a carefully furnished room, precise cocktail preparation and attentive conversation. For visitors to London, it offers a particularly clear expression of the Mayfair hotel bar tradition, with enough variation in the drinks to encourage a return visit.

365. Nobu by the Beach at Atlantis The Royal

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Nobu by the Beach extends the restaurant's Japanese culinary identity into a pool and beach setting at Atlantis The Royal on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah. The layout brings together a swimming pool, sunbeds, cabanas and a restaurant, with open-air spaces that allow a meal to become part of a longer day beside the water. Its design favours clean lines and a composed, contemporary resort atmosphere. The food follows Nobu's recognisable approach to Japanese cooking, including the Peruvian influences associated with the wider restaurant family. Sushi, sashimi, small plates and signature dishes are adapted to the pace of beachside dining, giving guests the choice of a full restaurant meal or lighter food between swims. Cocktails and a dedicated bar provide a further reason to linger as the afternoon moves towards evening. Cabanas offer a more private base, with different arrangements available for guests who want additional space or a pool of their own. The restaurant, beach club and bar can also be experienced independently. This flexibility makes Nobu by the Beach useful for a focused lunch as well as a complete day organised around food, water and conversation.

366. Entalula Beach

     El Nido, Philippines

     Entalula Beach lies among the islands of El Nido's Bacuit Bay, where a narrow stretch of white sand sits beneath steep limestone cliffs. The pale rock, green vegetation and clear water create the strong contrasts associated with northern Palawan, but here they gather within a compact shoreline that feels closely enclosed by its landscape. Arrival is by boat, making the approach across the bay part of the experience. Time on the beach centres on swimming, looking back at the cliffs from the water and enjoying the sand between excursions. The natural setting is the principal attraction, with little need for an elaborate programme once ashore. Visitors commonly include Entalula within a wider island-hopping day, although access arrangements and the amount of time available depend on the chosen operator and local conditions. A carefully timed visit allows space to appreciate the changing light on the limestone and the quieter corners of the shore. Sea conditions can affect boat journeys, so plans benefit from flexibility. Entalula suits travellers who enjoy the combination of a dramatic island landscape and the simple pleasure of stepping from a boat onto a small, beautiful beach.

367. Cathay Pacific Business Class

     Hong Kong, China

     Cathay Pacific brings a strong Hong Kong identity to Business Class, from the food served onboard to the artwork in its Aria Suite cabins. Available on selected Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, Aria Suite pairs a wraparound seat with a privacy door and sliding partition. The seat becomes a fully flat bed, and carefully placed controls allow passengers to adjust lighting and seating without getting up. A 24 inch 4K screen, Bluetooth audio and wireless charging add practical flexibility, while a sliding console and dedicated compartments keep smaller belongings organised. Hong Kong linked artists contribute work to the cabin through the airline's Gallery in the Skies programme. Meals combine local flavours with international dishes, with advance meal selection offered on eligible routes. Long haul bedding and amenity products support rest between services. Cathay's Business Class varies considerably by aircraft. Other long haul cabins offer fully flat seats without the Aria Suite enclosure, while regional Airbus A321neo and selected A330 and Boeing 777 services use reclining seats. Travellers choosing for a particular seat should check the published aircraft configuration and allow for operational changes. The consistent thread is a considered balance of personal space, dining and entertainment.

368. Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita

     Punta Mita, Mexico

     Naviva is a small forest retreat on Punta Mita's Pacific coast, with just 15 tented bungalows spread through a much larger landscape of tropical vegetation. The accommodation combines air conditioned bedrooms with open air living areas, broad decks and private plunge pools. Canvas, natural textures and Mexican craft details make the surroundings feel close, while the layout gives each bungalow a degree of separation. The resort's inclusive approach is unusually personal. Meals and beverages are covered throughout the stay, including dining in the bungalow, and guests receive a spa journey alongside selected daily experiences. Food can follow individual preferences rather than a fixed sequence of restaurant reservations. The small number of residents also allows guides and hosts to shape activities around particular interests. Coastal walks, ocean swims and encounters with local traditions sit alongside open air exercise and the House of Heat temazcal. Guests can also use facilities at the neighbouring Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, subject to the relevant arrangements. Naviva welcomes guests aged 16 and over and suits travellers who prefer a quiet, flexible stay. Its defining attraction is the combination of a private bungalow and the freedom to spend the day close to forest and sea.

369. GoldenEye

     Oracabessa, Jamaica

     GoldenEye spreads around beaches, gardens and a sheltered lagoon at Oracabessa on Jamaica's north coast. The estate is closely associated with Ian Fleming, who wrote his James Bond stories here, but its present character comes equally from the landscape and its collection of individual places to stay. Villas, lagoon cottages and beach huts offer markedly different experiences within the same grounds. The villas have high ceilings, hardwood floors, kitchens and outdoor dining areas, with private garden showers adding an open air element. Lagoon cottages provide direct access to the water from a personal dock and include a kayak for exploring. Beach huts use elevated positions and louvred windows to catch the breeze, making accommodation choice as much about atmosphere as size. Dining draws on Jamaican ingredients, including seasonal produce from Pantrepant Farm and fish from local boats. The Gazebo overlooks the lagoon and Low Cay Beach, while Bizot Bar and the Bamboo Bar on Button Beach provide more casual settings. Swimming, snorkelling and paddling give the days a gentle structure, and the spa sits beside the lagoon. GoldenEye suits travellers who enjoy a place with cultural history, distinctive rooms and a relaxed relationship with the sea.

370. Royalton Blue Waters - Diamond Club Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite

     Mountain Spring, Jamaica

     The Diamond Club Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite at Royalton Blue Waters combines ocean views with a practical residential layout on Jamaica's north coast. The resort stands at Mountain Spring in Trelawny, with the sea providing the outlook from the suite's terrace. At approximately 110 square metres, the accommodation offers enough room for a couple or small family to settle in between beach visits and activities. A king bed occupies the sleeping area, while a double sofa bed beside the window provides additional flexibility. The bathroom has an indoor Jacuzzi, separate toilet and twin washbasins, and a walk-in wardrobe helps keep luggage out of the living space. The private terrace is a natural place for morning coffee or a quiet end to the day. Diamond Club benefits include butler service, a lounge and dedicated beach and pool areas. The all-inclusive resort supplies a broad range of shared facilities, including a lazy river, a children's water playground and restaurants offering several cuisines. Fitness activities and supervised clubs add variety for guests of different ages. The suite's appeal is the balance between a substantial private base and the activity of a family resort, with its ocean outlook giving time indoors a clear connection to the coast.

371. Jade Mountain

     Soufrière, Saint Lucia

     Jade Mountain rises above the Anse Chastanet estate near Soufrière, with views across the Caribbean towards Saint Lucia’s twin Pitons. Architect Nick Troubetzkoy designed the resort around this panorama, using stone columns, individual bridges and open living spaces to make the landscape an integral part of the building. Accommodation is arranged as sanctuaries rather than conventional enclosed guestrooms. Bedrooms and sitting areas open towards the view, and most sanctuaries incorporate a private infinity pool. The different categories vary in scale and pool size, while the Sky suites offer an alternative with a whirlpool. This open design gives the property its distinctive character and makes the natural setting unusually immediate. The Jade Mountain Club combines dining with another elevated perspective on the coast. Culinary experiences extend to cooking classes, the chocolate laboratory and visits to the estate’s organic farm. Guests also have access to the beaches and activities of Anse Chastanet below, including snorkelling, diving and coastal exploration. The result is a stay shaped by architecture, food and the changing light over the Pitons.

372. Caribtours

     London, United Kingdom

     Caribtours is an independent holiday company based in Fulham, with a long-standing relationship with the Caribbean. Its programme brings together intimate island hotels, larger beach resorts and private accommodation, placing considerable emphasis on the differences between properties. The starting point is the type of holiday a traveller wants, whether that involves a quiet bay, several restaurants or activities for children. The Caribbean collection includes destinations such as Antigua, Barbados, Saint Lucia and the Grenadines, alongside a wider portfolio in Mexico, the Indian Ocean and Europe. Couples, families and friends can discuss room arrangements, dining preferences and the balance between time at the hotel and excursions. Journeys can be tailored around these details rather than confined to a single fixed format. The London team works through the practical arrangements with clients, from flights and transfers to the choice of accommodation. Its hotel-focused approach is particularly relevant where a property’s setting and atmosphere will define much of the stay. For Caribbean travellers, the appeal lies in considered advice on how individual islands and hotels translate into a day-to-day holiday experience.

373. COMO Parrot Cay Private Residences

     Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands

     The private residences at COMO Parrot Cay extend the resort’s quiet island setting into a collection of individual beachfront homes. Reached by boat from Providenciales, Parrot Cay has broad sands and a low-rise landscape that places much of the emphasis on the water. The residences offer a more self-contained setting within this environment, with room for families and friends to gather. Layouts differ between houses, ranging from multi-bedroom villas to larger estates with separate buildings. Indoor and outdoor dining areas, expansive living rooms and private terraces are recurring features, while pools and direct access to the beach characterise several of the homes. The individual residence descriptions are important when choosing between garden and sea outlooks, bedroom arrangements and the amount of shared space. Guests retain access to COMO Parrot Cay’s restaurants, activities and COMO Shambhala wellness facilities. Personal service and dining arrangements can be discussed around the selected residence, allowing a stay to alternate between meals at home and the wider resort. The attraction is the combination of a private coastal household with established hotel facilities, particularly for longer holidays or groups travelling together.

374. MGM Grand Hotel & Casino

     Las Vegas, United States

     MGM Grand is a substantial hotel and casino on the southern part of the Las Vegas Strip, recognised by its green exterior and extensive entertainment facilities. The resort operates on a large scale, with restaurants, bars, performance spaces and accommodation spread through a connected complex. A stay here places much of the city’s characteristic activity within the property itself. Rooms and suites offer different amounts of living space, with larger categories providing room to gather or spend a quieter evening. The Grand Pool Complex adds an outdoor setting with swimming pools and a lazy river, alongside cabanas and places to lounge. Spa and fitness facilities provide further options during the day, while the range of dining makes it possible to vary the pace of meals. The casino includes table games, slot machines and a sportsbook. Entertainment is a major part of the resort’s identity, from KÀ by Cirque du Soleil to performances and events at the Grand Garden Arena. Nightlife venues extend the evening programme. MGM Grand suits visitors who want a busy, self-contained Las Vegas base with a particularly broad choice of things to do.

375. Galaxy Macau

     Cotai, Macao

     Galaxy Macau is an extensive resort complex in Cotai, bringing several hotel brands together with gaming, dining, shopping and entertainment. The different hotels give travellers a choice of atmosphere, from more intimate accommodation to large properties with substantial family facilities. This variety makes selecting where to stay an important part of shaping the visit. The Grand Resort Deck provides a distinctive outdoor focus, with a wave pool, sandy areas, water attractions and gardens above the surrounding streets. Hotel rooms and suites vary according to the chosen property, as do the more private pools and wellness facilities. Restaurants and cafés throughout the complex allow the day to move between activities without requiring a separate journey for every meal. The casino forms one part of this wider setting, alongside retail galleries, performance venues and cultural attractions. Dining spans Chinese regional cuisines and international cooking, with options for both informal meals and more elaborate occasions. Galaxy Macau suits visitors who want a broad resort programme and the flexibility to choose a hotel within it, particularly when a travelling party has different interests in relaxation, entertainment and time at the tables.

376. Qatar National Convention Centre

     Doha, Qatar

     Qatar National Convention Centre stands within Education City, west of central Doha, placing major events close to universities, research institutions and cultural landmarks. Its broad entrance and sculptural tree-like façade give the building a distinctive identity, while spacious interior foyers provide room for registration, informal meetings and displays. The setting suits gatherings that combine professional exchange with academic or cultural interests. The centre brings together exhibition halls, a large conference hall, the Al Mayassa Theatre, auditoria and meeting rooms. This range allows an event to move between presentations, performances and smaller sessions within the same building. Flexible halls also accommodate trade exhibitions, banquets and public events, supported by catering, audiovisual services and dedicated organiser facilities. For delegates, practical amenities include cafés, prayer rooms, parking and wireless internet. The Education City tram and the Doha Metro's Green Line offer connections to the wider district and city, with wayfinding routes from Qatar National Library station. The venue is particularly useful when a programme needs several different types of space, while its architecture and location provide a clear sense of place beyond the functional requirements of a conference.

377. Long Chim

     Sydney, Australia

     Long Chim is a restaurant in Sydney, Australia.

378. Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park

     Sulu Sea, Philippines

     Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park lies in the Sulu Sea, far from the everyday activity of the Philippine coast. Its remote reefs and small exposed land areas create a setting where the marine environment determines the rhythm of a visit. Access requires a planned boat journey, making the destination particularly suited to travellers who want several days focused on diving and observation. The underwater landscape includes reef walls, coral formations and open water, with fish, turtles and sharks forming part of a varied marine community. Dive routes depend on local conditions and the experience of the group, while time between dives is usually spent aboard rather than in a resort town. The isolation is a substantial part of the appeal, with little separation between the day's activity and the surrounding seascape. Tourism operates within a managed natural park, with permits required for vessels and visitors. Choosing an authorised operator is therefore integral to the experience, alongside allowing for weather and seasonal access. Tubbataha rewards an interest in the whole environment, including seabirds and the small islands above the surface. It offers a concentrated marine journey, where the focus remains on the reefs and the life they support.

379. Dubai Opera

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Dubai Opera sits in Downtown Dubai, where its dhow-inspired form introduces a maritime reference into the district's contemporary skyline. The building combines a performance venue with gathering spaces designed for concerts, theatre, opera, ballet and other events. Its position near the Burj Khalifa and the waterfront gives an evening here a distinct urban setting. The main auditorium is deliberately adaptable, with configurations that allow it to function as a theatre, concert hall or flat-floor event space. This flexibility supports a programme that moves between staged productions, orchestral performances, corporate gatherings and banquets. Foyers and additional rooms provide settings for receptions and smaller occasions, with the building's architecture remaining part of the experience beyond the seats. For visitors, the appeal lies in the combination of a varied live programme and a venue with a clear local design reference. Nearby restaurants and hotels make it possible to organise an evening around the performance, while the surrounding Downtown district rewards time before the doors open. Dubai Opera is particularly rewarding when approached through the production that interests you, allowing the changing programme and the adaptable building to shape a different experience on each visit.

380. Excel London

     London, United Kingdom

     Excel London stretches along the Royal Victoria Dock in east London, giving a large exhibition venue an unusually open waterside setting. Broad halls and conference spaces form the working heart of the complex, while the dockside offers views and a sense of space between appointments. The surrounding district has its own hotels and restaurants, making it possible to organise a visit around the venue itself. The exhibition halls accommodate trade fairs, public shows, product launches and large gatherings. Conference rooms and auditorium facilities allow talks, presentations and meetings to sit alongside the main event. A central circulation route links much of the complex, although the scale of individual shows means visitors benefit from knowing their entrance and hall in advance. Elizabeth line connections make the Royal Docks more accessible from central London, opening up a wider choice of accommodation and evening plans. The waterfront can also provide a welcome change of pace after a day indoors. Excel's character comes from this combination of substantial event infrastructure and a dockland location, with the skyline, water and developing neighbourhood giving a recognisable sense of place to a busy exhibition visit.

381. Sushi Kanesaka

     Tokyo, Japan

     Sushi Kanesaka is a restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.

382. COMO Shambhala Estate

     Indonesia

     Located in Ubud, COMO Shambhala Estate offers Asian-inspired therapies, wellness activities, and a tranquil escape for balance and rejuvenation. Immerse yourself in wellness amidst Bali's beauty.

383. Thevar

     Singapore

     Thevar is a restaurant in Singapore.

384. The K Club

     Straffan, Ireland

     The K Club occupies a country estate at Straffan in County Kildare, where the River Liffey and mature grounds establish the setting. The hotel incorporates historic Straffan House, with accommodation extending the character of a large Irish country residence. Rooms and suites provide the principal choice, while separate lodges suit guests who want more independence during a longer stay. Two Arnold Palmer-designed courses, Palmer North and Palmer South, make golf central to the property. They offer different challenges across the estate, supported by practice and indoor golf facilities. The clubhouse restaurants provide relaxed places to gather after play, and the resort's booking arrangements make it possible to plan several rounds around a stay. The estate's history of hosting major tournaments adds context without being the only reason to visit. Away from the fairways, the K Spa includes swimming and treatment facilities, while outdoor activities range from walks and cycling routes to fishing and other country pursuits. Dining moves between formal rooms, contemporary restaurants and more casual settings. This breadth makes the hotel suited to golf groups whose companions also want time for relaxation or exploration.

385. La Piscina Infinity Pool at Caruso, A Belmond Hotel

     Ravello, Italy

     Caruso's infinity pool sits high above the Amalfi Coast in Ravello, with the surrounding hills and sea appearing beyond a sharply defined waterline. The approach through the hotel's terraced gardens helps separate the pool from the town outside. Its position creates a sense of suspension, although the setting remains closely connected to the historic palace and Mediterranean planting around it. The pool is the centre of La Piscina, Caruso's pool club. Loungers and private cabanas provide different ways to settle into the view, while the poolside bar and Caruso Grill support a day spent outdoors. The experience is shaped as much by the elevated panorama as by swimming: coast, village and sky change in emphasis as the light moves across the landscape. Hotel guests can combine the pool with rooms and suites in the restored palace, wellness experiences and time exploring Ravello. Day-visitor and cabana arrangements should be confirmed directly, as access depends on the option reserved. This is a pool particularly suited to an unhurried stay, with gardens, meals and the water forming a coherent part of the hotel's hillside setting.

386. Zach King

     Los Angeles, United States

     Zach King is a filmmaker whose short videos use visual effects, carefully planned movement and editing to make everyday scenes behave unexpectedly. An object changes scale, a doorway leads somewhere improbable or an action resolves in a visual twist. These compact stories rely on clear staging, so the illusion can be understood quickly without a lengthy explanation. His Los Angeles-based team develops this approach through King Studio, combining filmmaking craft with the pace of social video. The work often begins with an ordinary setting or familiar task before introducing an impossible outcome. That contrast gives the films a playful quality, while their tightly controlled timing makes them useful examples of storytelling through images. Brand collaborations form another part of the studio’s professional output. King has also extended his interest in imaginative worlds into a children’s book series, with accompanying augmented-reality applications that add a digital element to the reading experience. Across books and films, the connecting theme is visual surprise. His official channels offer an introduction to short-form filmmaking for audiences interested in illusion, creative editing and the process of building a complete story around a single inventive idea.

387. Maui

     Maui, United States

     Maui offers a changing Hawaiian landscape, from the high country around Haleakalā to rainforest roads and long stretches of coastal sand. Its regions have distinct personalities, making the choice of base an important part of a visit. Beach-focused stays can be balanced with time in small towns, agricultural country and places where the island’s volcanic origins are clearly visible. The southern and western shores include established resort areas and beaches such as Wailea, Mākena and Kāʻanapali. Inland, Makawao and Kula introduce Upcountry Maui, while Wailuku and the landscapes around ʻĪao Valley give Central Maui its own character. East Maui brings a greener setting along the road towards Hāna, with rainforest, lava formations and a rugged coastline that reward an unhurried approach. Walking, swimming, snorkelling and sailing provide different ways to experience the island, with conditions and access shaping the day’s plans. Allowing time for local food, small businesses and cultural encounters helps a stay extend beyond the resort. Maui is particularly suited to travellers who want both a comfortable coastal base and a varied itinerary, with enough space between outings to enjoy the setting rather than simply move through it.

388. Le Bristol Paris

     Paris, France

     Le Bristol Paris has welcomed guests on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré since 1925, combining the traditions of a Parisian grand hotel with spaces that invite an unhurried stay. Its courtyard garden offers a quiet contrast to the surrounding streets, while the hotel’s public rooms preserve a formal yet residential atmosphere. The address is well placed for exploring the city’s galleries, shops and architectural landmarks. Rooms and suites follow a classical Parisian style, with individual decorative details and layouts that range from comfortable bedrooms to larger residential spaces. The emphasis is on generous surroundings and a sense of continuity with the building’s history. A rooftop indoor swimming pool adds an unusual feature, with views towards Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower, while the spa offers treatments alongside fitness facilities. Dining is central to the hotel, from the carefully composed French cooking at Epicure to the more relaxed atmosphere of 114 Faubourg and Café Antonia. The garden provides another setting for a meal or afternoon pause. Artisan food workshops contribute to the hotel’s culinary identity, making bread, pastry and other preparations part of an experience that extends well beyond the bedroom.

389. Cambridge Central Mosque

     Cambridge, United Kingdom

     Cambridge Central Mosque brings a distinctive timber interior to Mill Road, a neighbourhood known for the variety of its communities. Designed by Marks Barfield Architects, the building combines references to Islamic geometry with English craft and architectural traditions. Its most striking feature is a series of timber columns that branch into an interlaced roof structure, evoking trees and the fan vaulting of historic chapels. Roof lights illuminate the prayer hall, while the approach moves through a planted Islamic garden, a portico and an atrium. This gradual transition gives the building a contemplative rhythm. Local brickwork helps it sit within Cambridge, and the garden, café and exhibition spaces make the complex a place of contact between the mosque and the wider neighbourhood. Environmental measures include heat pumps, rooftop solar panels and the collection of rainwater and grey water. These practical systems complement the use of timber and daylight rather than relying on decorative references to nature alone. Guided tours explore the architecture and religious purpose of the mosque. As an active place of worship and a public cultural space, it offers an illuminating addition to the city's better-known collegiate buildings.

390. Museo Nacional del Prado

     Madrid, Spain

     The Museo Nacional del Prado stands on Madrid's Paseo del Prado, where its neoclassical building forms part of a wider cultural landscape of museums and gardens. The collection grew from royal patronage, and that history remains visible in the depth of its holdings by particular painters. Rather than offering only isolated masterpieces, it allows visitors to follow the development of an artist across many works. Velázquez and Goya are central to the experience, alongside substantial collections of El Greco, Titian, Rubens and Bosch. Court portraits, religious paintings and mythological subjects reveal the changing purposes of European art. Works such as Las Meninas and The Garden of Earthly Delights reward time and close attention, while quieter rooms provide connections that are easy to miss on a hurried circuit. Sculpture, drawings and decorative objects broaden the picture beyond the principal painting galleries. Temporary exhibitions and interpretation offer focused ways into the collection, and the setting makes it straightforward to continue towards the Retiro district. A visit organised around a few painters or themes gives the Prado's strengths room to emerge: depth, continuity and a close relationship between artistic ambition and the history of Spain.

391. Shebara

     Sheybarah Island, Saudi Arabia

     Shebara occupies Sheybarah Island in Saudi Arabia's Red Sea, where contemporary architecture creates an unusual dialogue with the marine landscape. Its polished stainless-steel overwater villas take rounded forms above the lagoon, reflecting the changing light and colour around them. Beach villas provide an alternative connection to the island, with the shore immediately beyond their outdoor spaces. The resort's accommodation is arranged across 73 villas, combining private pools with interiors that continue the curved geometry of the architecture. Terraces extend living space towards the sea, giving swimming, dining and quiet observation an equal place in the day. The contrast between the buildings' precise forms and the surrounding reef is a defining feature, especially when seen from the water. Restaurants, a spa and experiences centred on the Red Sea broaden the stay beyond the villa. Snorkelling and diving offer opportunities to engage with the underwater environment, while the island itself encourages a slower pace between meals and the pool. Shebara is particularly compelling for travellers interested in architecture as part of a destination, with its setting and distinctive design remaining closely interdependent throughout the experience.

392. Sanctuary Infinity Pools at Jade Mountain

     Soufrière, Saint Lucia

     At Jade Mountain, private infinity pools form part of the living space of the resort's sanctuaries, opening towards the Pitons and Caribbean Sea. The hillside position above Anse Chastanet gives the water a broad natural backdrop, while architect Nick Troubetzkoy's use of stone columns and individual bridges creates a distinctive approach to each suite. Architecture is organised around the view rather than enclosing it. The Star, Moon, Sun and Galaxy sanctuaries have their own infinity pools, with the choice of category affecting the scale and perspective of the accommodation. Water and open living areas are closely integrated, allowing guests to move between swimming and relaxing without leaving their private space. The experience is particularly suited to watching changes in weather, light and colour across the sea and mountains. The wider resort adds dining at the Jade Mountain Club, the Celestial Terrace and spa treatments, with access to activities on the Anse Chastanet estate. Beach time, sailing and diving provide different ways to explore the coast. Guests choosing specifically for a private pool should select a sanctuary category, as the Sky Whirlpool Suites follow a different accommodation concept and do not include one.

393. Presidential Suite at The St. Regis New York

     New York, United States

     The Presidential Suite at The St. Regis New York occupies the hotel's sixteenth floor above Fifth Avenue. Its position brings views towards Central Park and the surrounding Midtown streets, while the interiors recall the scale and formality of a substantial Manhattan residence. A dramatic entrance leads into a sequence of rooms designed for both private time and entertaining. The two-bedroom suite extends across approximately 3,000 square feet, with a separate dining room, a wood-panelled library and a fully equipped kitchen. The living room's tall windows connect the accommodation with the city, while antiques, crystal chandeliers and curated artwork add texture to the traditional setting. Dressing rooms and substantial bathrooms help the suite function comfortably for a longer stay or for guests travelling together. St. Regis Butler Service supports meals, practical arrangements and the rhythm of life within the suite. The location makes it straightforward to combine museums, galleries and shops with time in the hotel's own dining and social spaces.

394. Bombardier Global 6500

     Dorval, Canada

     The Bombardier Global 6500 is built for extended international journeys, with a cabin divided into club, conference and private suites. This sequence creates room for a travelling party to hold a discussion, share a meal or withdraw to a quieter area without continually rearranging the entire interior. Its character comes from combining substantial cabin space with furniture that serves several purposes during a long flight. The Nuage seating collection is central to that approach. Adjustable armchairs support both upright work and reclining, while the optional Nuage chaise can change between a lounge chair and a flat surface for sitting or sleeping. The private suite can incorporate a berthable divan, and the galley provides preparation and storage space for meals. An adjoining lavatory and access to the baggage compartment add useful practicality. Available connectivity and 4K entertainment allow passengers to work or watch a film, while the Soleil lighting and Pũr Air systems manage illumination and cabin air. Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines power the aircraft. Interior layouts and equipment vary, making the individual aircraft's sleeping arrangements and cabin specification as relevant to a journey as its published performance.

396. Arpege

     France

     At Arpège on Rue de Varenne, Alain Passard makes the garden the centre of a Parisian gastronomic experience. Vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers shape the cooking, with honey from the restaurant’s own hives also finding a place in the kitchen. Passard’s approach gives familiar produce the attention normally reserved for luxury ingredients, inviting diners to consider its colour, texture and changing character. Lunch and dinner offer different opportunities to explore that vision. The move to an entirely plant-focused kitchen in 2025 gives this long-established restaurant a particularly clear identity: an expression of its chef’s continuing fascination with what the garden can provide.

398. Café de la Paix

     Paris, France

     Café de la Paix is a restaurant in Paris, at 5 Place de l’Opéra in the 9th arrondissement, overlooking the Opéra Garnier. Its official site presents it as one of the city’s legendary addresses, set within a historic corner of the theatre district and associated with the InterContinental Paris Le Grand. The venue is described as an established café-restaurant rather than a hotel dining room, with a terrace facing the opera house. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Laurent André, whose menus focus on seasonal produce and revised French classics. The restaurant’s own materials mention dishes such as foie gras, Burgundy snails and French onion soup, and describe a repertoire of familiar brasserie and bistro standards interpreted with a lighter, contemporary touch. The site also indicates service across breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a separate Sunday brunch offered as a set experience. The atmosphere is shaped by Napoleon III styling, including gilded panelling, a coffered ceiling, and streamlined furnishings in a pale palette. This gives the dining rooms a formal, ornamented character rather than a casual café feel, while the terrace adds an outdoor option facing one of Paris’s best-known landmarks. The restaurant also offers private hire of part or all of the premises for social or professional events. Taken together, Café de la Paix reads as a classic Parisian dining room with a strong sense of place: historic, central and closely tied to the Opéra district. The official descriptions emphasise heritage, seasonal cooking and a polished setting, making it suitable for guests seeking a traditional French restaurant experience in a landmark location rather than a contemporary neighbourhood brasserie.

The restaurant occupies a purpose-built structure completed in 2020 and described by AIRA as boatyard-inspired, with a design by Swedish architect Jonas Bohlin. The exterior combines light concrete, glass and rusted metal, giving the waterfront setting a distinctly modern architectural frame. The dining offer centres on seasonal tasting menus served at lunch and dinner, with a shorter prix fixe option available during weekday lunches. Published dishes highlight a Nordic-led approach shaped by ingredients such as langoustine, Kalix vendace roe, scallop, pike perch, guinea fowl and wagyu, alongside global cooking techniques and spices. Beverage choices include matched pairings and a broader wine list, supporting a fixed-menu format rather than an à la carte style. AIRA’s main dining room accommodates parties of up to six, while a chef’s table in the main room seats two to eight guests. The restaurant also provides a private dining room on the second floor, set above the main room and arranged around a single table for up to 14 guests. This room can also use an outdoor space for cocktails in the warmer months, adding a more secluded setting for gatherings. The restaurant’s setting by the water is reflected in the interior concept, which AIRA says takes cues from seasonal changes in the Stockholm archipelago. That sense of place is reinforced by formal table service, controlled menu structure and a design intended to frame the relationship between the dining rooms and the surrounding landscape. AIRA Tailored extends the operation beyond the restaurant itself with bespoke off-site events and full buyouts.

     Toronto, Canada

     Chubby’s Jamaican Kitchen is a Jamaican restaurant at 104 Portland Street in Toronto’s downtown west end. The official site and Michelin Guide both place the business at this address and identify it as a Caribbean/Jamaican restaurant. Its restaurant information presents it as a neighbourhood place with walk-in service, while also allowing reservations for some lunch and dinner seating. That combination points to a casual dining room rather than a take-away-only operation. The menus are set out across lunch and dinner, brunch, drinks, Island Time and catering, so the restaurant offers more than a single service period. The drinks list includes Red Stripe and Dragon Stout, while the site highlights an Island Time afternoon offer on weekdays. Official pages also note takeout and delivery, giving customers the option to eat on site or order food elsewhere without changing the restaurant’s Jamaican-focused offer. Chubby’s says its cooking is rooted in traditional Caribbean food, with relevant culinary twists and inspiration drawn from the warmth and vibrancy of Jamaica’s culture and people. The menu presentation supports that identity through Jamaican-inspired dishes and an emphasis on island drinks. The setting is described as a neighbourhood restaurant, and the house rules suggest a straightforward, organised operation built around relaxed dining, online reservations and practical guest guidance. Alongside everyday dining, the restaurant accepts group bookings and supports private events and catering. Reservations are handled through Resy, with a limited hold policy and a request that guests mention allergies in advance. The official information also notes that pets are not allowed. Taken together, these details show a Toronto restaurant with a clear Caribbean character, flexible booking options and a service style that balances informal walk-in dining with planned meals for larger parties.

The meal opens with harira, dates and sweet pastries, before moving towards dishes such as lobster pastilla with spinach or langoustine tagine.

With private lounges and a central patio, the restaurant makes its architectural setting as memorable as the food.

     Hapag occupies an elevated setting in Makati’s Balmori Suites, bringing a contemporary interpretation of Filipino food to Rockwell. The restaurant’s name refers to the dining table, and its tasting format treats that idea as a place for memory, conversation and discovery. The setting is intimate enough for the kitchen’s explanations and the details of each course to matter. Filipino ingredients and familiar flavour combinations form the basis of the cooking, reworked through modern techniques and careful presentation. Regional references, preservation and the contrast between sour, savoury and sweet elements give the menu its identity. The progression is designed to be experienced as a whole, with dishes building a wider picture of the country’s food culture. The location makes Hapag a practical destination for visitors staying in Makati, but the meal warrants time of its own. Drinks pairings provide an additional route through the menu’s ideas. Book in advance and communicate dietary requirements early, as the kitchen works within a closely planned sequence.

421. Beta KL

     Malaysia

     Beta KL is a contemporary Malaysian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, set at Cormar Suites on Jalan Perak in the city centre. The official website identifies it as a concept by The KARLS Group, while Michelin lists the restaurant at Lot 3 & 4, GF, Cormar Suites, 10 Jalan Perak, Kuala Lumpur 50450, Malaysia. Together, those sources place Beta as a focused dining room devoted to modern interpretations of Malaysian cooking and culinary heritage. Its dining offer is built around a ‘Tour of Malaysia’ menu, presented as a tasting journey through the country’s flavours and regional influences. The menu page says dinner is planned for around 2.5 hours and includes seafoods and vegetables, a few meat courses and sweet treats, with beverage pairings available. Beta also notes that dietary restriction accommodation may be possible with 48 hours’ advance notice, which helps define the experience as carefully staged and intentionally paced. The restaurant’s own description emphasises storytelling, saying each dish is meant to reflect Malaysia’s diverse cultural background. Michelin echoes that approach, describing the room as theatrical and noting the use of modern techniques and meticulous plating. That combination suggests a polished, contemporary meal in which visual presentation and technique are central, while the flavours remain rooted in recognisable Malaysian references rather than detached fine-dining abstraction. Practical details on the contact page show dinner service from Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday, and a reservation link alongside WhatsApp and email contact options. Beta does not present itself as an à la carte restaurant; instead, it offers a fixed-format tasting menu that gives the kitchen clear scope to shape the sequence and rhythm of the meal. The result is a distinctive Kuala Lumpur address with a strong narrative identity and a precise culinary focus.

423. 360 Istanbul

     Istanbul, Türkiye

     360 Istanbul is a restaurant in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, occupying the top floor of the historic Mısır Apartment on İstiklal Caddesi. The official address is given as Mısır Apt. No. 163/8, placing it on one of the district’s best-known streets. Operated by Üçyüzaltmış Turizm ve Tic. A.Ş., the venue presents itself through its rooftop position and city setting, with dining space shaped by its elevated location within a historic urban building rather than a purpose-built standalone site there. The food offer centres on lunch and dinner, with the restaurant describing its kitchen as world cuisine alongside modern Turkish dishes. Its published dinner and sushi menu is broad in structure, covering cold meze, hot meze and salads as well as sushi, sashimi and nigiri. Other sections include 360 legends and flambé dishes, indicating a menu that moves between sharing plates, raw preparations and fuller main-course style options within the same dining programme for varied groups and occasions. Drinks are an established part of the offer, with the official site highlighting wines and a wider bar menu. The business also describes itself through food, ambience, entertainment and atmosphere, showing that the concept extends beyond a conventional restaurant meal. Its own pages refer to live shows and guest DJs, so music and performance form part of the experience alongside table service. This combination gives the venue a more social format in which dining, drinks and entertainment are presented together in one setting. Practical details published by the business show restaurant service from midday until midnight each day, with club hours continuing later into the night. The website also provides contact information and downloadable menus, allowing prospective diners to review the food selection in advance. Taken together, the defining features are the rooftop perch above İstiklal Caddesi, the historic Mısır Apartment address, a menu spanning modern Turkish and international elements, and a programme that combines restaurant dining with bar service, music and live entertainment.

424. 50 Kalò

     London, UK

     50 Kalò is a Neapolitan pizzeria in Westminster, London, at 7 Northumberland Avenue, WC2N 5BY. It is the London branch of Ciro Salvo’s 50 Kalò project, which the company says began in Naples in 2014 and has been in London since July 2018. The official London location page presents the branch as open every day, with service from 12.00 to 23.00, placing it among central Westminster dining addresses in a busy part of the city. The food offer is centred on pizza rather than a broad Italian menu. The brand describes its pizzas as combining selected flours, a high-water dough and long fermentation, with an approach that balances traditional Neapolitan method and a more contemporary style. The London site is presented within the same 50 Kalò identity as the Naples original, so the branch follows the parent company’s defined pizza-led format rather than a generic trattoria model. The menu is described by the operator as seasonal and subject to regular change, which suggests a kitchen working with a limited and focused range of toppings and combinations. AVPN’s associate listing for the London branch also records the address and contact details, linking the restaurant with verace pizza napoletana standards. That combination points to a venue built around dough craft, ingredient selection and a clear Neapolitan identity, rather than elaborate multi-course dining. In practical terms, 50 Kalò serves diners looking for a specialist pizza restaurant in central London with a distinct brand background and a straightforward setting. The Westminster location makes it suitable for local workers, visitors and theatre-goers in the surrounding district, while the official pages keep the emphasis on the pizza itself. Its character is shaped by the London branch’s place within a wider Italian network, yet the identity remains firmly anchored in Neapolitan pizza making.

425. Baires Grill

     Miami, USA

     Baires Grill is an Argentine restaurant in Brickell, Miami, at 1010 S. Miami Avenue. The operator presents it as part of a Miami story that began in 1999 and grew into a wider Florida and New York network, but this branch is the relevant city-centre location. Its setting and concept place it within a contemporary urban dining scene while keeping Argentine food culture at the centre of the experience, rather than treating the venue as a generic steakhouse. The menu is built around Argentine tradition with international influences, and the brand says it serves more than 70 dishes. Steak is a major feature, but the offering also extends beyond grilled meats to salads, burgers, desserts and drinks. The wine programme is substantial, with more than 150 labels and a focus on Argentine Malbecs, which supports a style of dining that can range from a straightforward lunch to a longer evening meal. The operator also provides reservations and online ordering through its website, alongside branch contact information. That combination suggests a restaurant designed for planned visits as well as more spontaneous dining. Although the site describes private events within the wider brand, the safest reading for this branch is a full-service restaurant that can accommodate social meals and group occasions without implying specialist banquet facilities or resort-style extras. Overall, Baires Grill Brickell is best understood as a polished Miami Argentine restaurant with a broad menu, a serious wine list and practical service for dine-in or takeaway. The brand’s emphasis on family-style hospitality and varied dishes gives the location a relaxed but lively character. It offers an accessible Brickell dining option where steak, wine and a wide selection of plates define the experience more than formality or specialisation.

426. Biergarten

     Orlando, USA

     Biergarten Restaurant is a German table-service buffet at EPCOT in Walt Disney World Resort, serving park guests in a casual dining setting shaped around the atmosphere of a traditional biergarten. Rather than operating as a stand-alone city restaurant, it forms part of the park’s wider dining line-up, so the experience is closely tied to the EPCOT environment. Disney presents it as a themed venue where German cuisine, buffet service and entertainment combine in one indoor dining room for a distinctly festive meal. Food centres on a rotating buffet of German-inspired dishes rather than a fixed plated menu, giving diners a broad selection across savoury mains, sides and lighter choices. Official menu descriptions mention items such as bratwurst, roasted chicken, pork schnitzel and salads, reflecting a hearty, familiar style of cooking suited to buffet service. Dessert also has a defined place, with hand-pulled apple strudel made fresh daily. For adults, the drinks list includes German beers and wines that complement the restaurant’s culinary focus. The room’s character is central to the appeal. Disney describes biergarten-style tables and lively polka-band entertainment, creating a setting that feels more like a performance-led dining hall than a conventional buffet restaurant. Music is not a background extra here but part of the structure of the visit, helping define the pace and mood of the meal. The overall design leans into a celebratory German beer-hall idea, so guests are dining within a themed environment built as much around atmosphere as around food. Within EPCOT’s dining collection, Biergarten stands out for combining buffet flexibility with a clearly defined concept. It is identified by Disney as German cuisine, casual dining and table service, which places it between a quick meal and a more formal restaurant occasion. That blend makes it suitable for visitors who want a substantial sit-down break without leaving the park’s themed setting behind. The result is a restaurant experience shaped by food, music and décor in equal measure, with entertainment woven directly into the meal.

427. Black Bear Burger

     London, UK

     Black Bear Burger is an independent burger restaurant in Brixton, south London, operating from 11–13A Market Row in Brixton Village. The Brixton Village trader listing identifies the branch across Units 11, 11a and 13, placing it within the covered market rather than as a separate roadside premises. This is the brand’s first sit-down restaurant, which the operator says opened in Brixton Market in December 2019, giving the site a defined role in the company’s development in London. At this branch, the restaurant format goes beyond a simple takeaway counter. Brixton Village describes an extended menu alongside local beers and a short cocktail selection, while also noting cosy communal seating. Those details indicate a casual dine-in setting designed for eating and drinking on site within the market. The overall style is informal and sociable, with a compact drinks offer that supports the food rather than turning the venue into a bar-led operation or a full-service cocktail destination. Food focuses on burgers built around dry-aged beef, with the operator stating that it uses high-welfare British meat. The verified restaurant menu also includes chicken and vegan options, with named choices such as Cheeseburger, Brisket, Hot Honey Chicken, House Chicken and Vegan. Several burgers feature house-made elements including onion jam, garlic mayo and pickles. Black Bear Burger also says its buns are delivered fresh each morning, while fries, sauces, pickles and ferments are prepared in house daily. Taken together, the Brixton branch presents Black Bear Burger as a comfort-food restaurant with a strong emphasis on ingredients and preparation. The operator’s own description highlights British sourcing for the meat and daily in-house work on key components, while the market listing points to communal seating and a concise drinks selection. That combination gives the restaurant a clear identity: a sit-down burger venue in Brixton Village where the menu stays centred on the brand’s core burger offer, supported by sides and straightforward drinks.

428. Cô Thành

     Hong Kong

     Cô Thành is a Vietnamese restaurant in Hong Kong with a verified site at Pacific Place, Admiralty, and a second outlet at BaseHall in Central. The official restaurant and mall pages identify it as the Hong Kong branch of the Cô Thành concept, with the Admiralty address listed at Shop 123, Level 1, 88 Queensway, and the Central outlet at BaseHall Food Court, LG, 1 Connaught Place. The restaurant’s official material presents it as a Vietnamese kitchen drawing on the recipes of Nguyễn Thị Thành, known as The Lunch Lady, and emphasises a menu centred on Vietnamese dishes. Publicly visible menu references include bun, banh mi, pho, smaller plates and desserts, indicating a broader offering than noodle soup alone. The Pacific Place listing also notes delivery and takeaway options, while the restaurant site states that island-wide delivery is available in Hong Kong. Service details are also set out on the official pages. Pacific Place lists daily opening at 11:30 am to 10:00 pm, and the restaurant’s own site states that the Admiralty branch accepts bookings and provides catering enquiries. The same site describes the use of imported ingredients and an island-wide delivery service, suggesting a restaurant organised for dine-in, takeaway and event orders rather than a solely casual counter service. Taken together, the verified evidence points to a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant with a strong street-food and regional-cooking identity, operating in a prime mall setting in Admiralty and a food-court setting in Central. Its Hong Kong branches appear designed to serve both local diners and delivery customers, with a menu and service model that extend beyond a narrow pho specialist format.

429. Gordon Ramsay Steak

     Las Vegas, USA

     Gordon Ramsay Steak is the Las Vegas outpost of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, inside Paris Las Vegas at 3655 Las Vegas Boulevard South on the Strip. The official restaurant page identifies it as a high-energy dining room within the casino resort, with a two-storey layout, bar and lounge. It is presented as a contemporary steakhouse rather than a formal dining room, and the venue is listed as open daily for evening service. The menu is built around steakhouse staples and chef-signature dishes. Alongside the main dinner menu, the Las Vegas site also lists a limited-edition tasting menu featuring items such as Scotch egg, hamachi crudo, diver scallops risotto, Land & Sea Beef Wellington and sticky toffee pudding. The regular offering includes beef Wellington, wagyu burger and steak accompaniments, with separate wine pairings and cocktails available for drinks-led dining. The restaurant’s official description also notes private dining rooms and the option to dine at the chef’s table, adding flexibility for smaller groups or more enclosed occasions. The bar and lounge are part of the same setting, and the emphasis is on handcrafted cocktails alongside the main dining area. These details point to a venue designed for both a seated meal and a more social pre- or post-dinner atmosphere. Taken together, the verified facts describe a branded Strip restaurant with a clear focus on premium beef, composed tasting menus and polished service within a large casino hotel. Its identity is tied to Paris Las Vegas, but the experience is centred on the restaurant itself: a modern steakhouse with multiple dining formats, a substantial drinks offer and the familiar Gordon Ramsay menu signatures that anchor its character.

430. Sollip

     London, UK

     Sollip is a Korean restaurant at Unit 1, 8 Melior Street in Southwark, London, a short walk from London Bridge. The restaurant’s own site identifies it as Sollip and gives this address, while the contact page confirms its current presence and telephone and email details. It is presented as a dining room led by its own culinary point of view rather than a broad all-day venue. The kitchen offers a concise lunch menu and a longer dinner tasting menu, both built around seasonal and local produce. Sollip describes its food as shaped by Korean heritage alongside European and French training, and its menu notes indicate a lunch service of around four dishes and a dinner tasting menu of around seven dishes. The restaurant also publishes a separate vegetarian menu, showing that the same approach is adapted for plant-based diners. Current service information on the restaurant’s site shows lunch on Friday and Saturday, and dinner from Wednesday to Saturday. Reservations are released two months in advance, and guests are asked to advise dietary requirements ahead of time; the site also states that gluten-free and dairy-free diets cannot be catered for. That gives the restaurant a structured, set-menu style of service with limited sittings rather than a flexible à la carte format. Independent listings from Michelin describe Sollip as a Korean restaurant in Southwark and highlight an imaginative set menu that can feature dishes such as tarte Tatin reworked with daikon, courgette flower with crab and dubu, pork with wild garlic, and ssuk pain perdu. The overall impression is of a compact, highly focused restaurant combining Korean ingredients and technique with French-inflected fine dining, in a quiet central London setting.

431. The Ivy

     London, UK

     The Ivy at 1-5 West Street, Covent Garden, London, is the original Ivy restaurant and a central West End dining room. Official operator pages place it in Theatreland, making it a clearly defined restaurant rather than a hotel or bar. The setting is presented as an established London address for full-service dining, with the West Street site used as the reference point for current menus and private dining information. The menu covers a wide span of the day, from breakfast and brunch through lunch, Sunday roast and children’s dishes to drinks and dessert selections. Current pages list items such as truffle arancini, French onion soup, the classic crispy duck salad, shepherd’s pie, pan-fried sea bass and dry-aged roast beef. That combination suggests a restaurant able to serve both lighter daytime meals and more substantial evening dining in one consistent format. The interior is described by the operator as decorative and polished, with stained-glass windows, oak panelling, a shimmering central bar and contemporary art. A private dining room upstairs gives the branch a separate space for smaller gatherings and formal occasions. These details point to a room designed to feel lively yet composed, with visual character forming a significant part of the experience rather than relying only on the menu. Service is also shaped by its West End position. Official pages emphasise pre-show and post-show dining, together with brunch and private dining for corporate or social events. In that sense, The Ivy operates as a long-running Covent Garden restaurant built around occasion-led hospitality, where the historic location, broad menu and distinct interior combine to support everything from early meals to evening reservations in central London.

432. Hawksmoor

     London, UK

     Hawksmoor in London is a group of steak restaurants rather than a single dining room, with branches including St Pancras, Air Street, Borough, Guildhall, Knightsbridge, Seven Dials, Spitalfields and Wood Wharf. The company began in London in 2006, and the capital remains central to its identity. While the restaurants share the same wider approach, each address is tied to a distinct building and part of the city, giving the London collection a recognisable style without making every branch feel identical or interchangeable. Across the London restaurants, the food is centred on grass-fed beef from traditionally reared cattle, with seafood also established as a major part of the menus. Seasonal fruit and vegetables, British cheeses and familiar steakhouse accompaniments broaden the offer beyond steaks alone. Drinks are treated as an important part of the experience, with wine, cocktails and beer all included by the group. The overall proposition is that of a modern British steakhouse in which meat and seafood sit side by side rather than competing for attention. The branches differ noticeably in setting. Air Street is described as a sweeping restaurant overlooking Regent Street, placing that branch in a prominent West End position. Knightsbridge is the location identified with an Art Deco interior. Seven Dials occupies the former Watney-Combe brewery, while Borough is set in a former hops warehouse and auction hall, linking the restaurant with the district’s commercial past. At Wood Wharf, the dining room is housed in a floating pavilion in Canary Wharf, bringing a more contemporary architectural character to the London line-up. Beyond the main restaurant floors, some London branches also cater for group gatherings and private dining. Borough’s Cooks’ Room is one example specifically identified by the company, showing that the offer can extend beyond standard tables in the principal dining room. Hawksmoor also presents its restaurants as places designed for lingering, which suits a meal built around steak, seafood and drinks. Taken together, the London branches share a common identity, but the details of the experience vary according to the room, neighbourhood and facilities attached to each address.

433. Russian Tea Room

     New York, USA

     Russian Tea Room is a restaurant at 150 West 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York, with an official site that places it beside Carnegie Hall and offers lunch, dinner, afternoon tea, cocktails and pre-theatre dining. Its published menus and service pages show a broad schedule of dining formats rather than a single fixed meal period. The venue presents itself as a long-running city restaurant with a clear address, a defined set of services and a position within one of Manhattan’s busiest cultural blocks. The food offering is presented through separate lunch, dinner and afternoon tea menus, with Russian-inspired dishes appearing across the site’s menu material. The dedicated tea pages confirm that tea service remains a central part of the operation, while the cocktails page shows a substantial drinks list that includes vodka-based options. Together, these official pages indicate a restaurant where drinks, tea and dining are developed as connected parts of the experience rather than as separate add-ons. Private dining is built into the operation. The events pages identify three private event spaces in addition to the main dining room, and describe use for gatherings of varying sizes. That structure shows a restaurant able to serve both ordinary table reservations and hosted functions within the same premises. The events material also helps define the venue as a place for formal entertaining, with service arranged around both restaurant dining and private bookings. The Russian Tea Room’s own wording emphasises a richly decorated interior. Its private events pages describe red leather banquettes, art-deco chandeliers, golden samovars, period paintings and emerald green walls, creating a distinctive room character that is integral to the setting. Combined with the restaurant’s long-established identity and its Midtown Manhattan location, the result is a theatrical, old-world dining room with a clear sense of place and a layered, historic atmosphere.

434. Snow’s BBQ

     Lexington, USA

     Snow’s BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Lexington, Texas, trading from 516 Main Street in the town centre. The business identifies itself as Snow’s BBQ, LLC, and its contact details match the same address in Lexington 78947. Official information also shows that service is centred on Saturdays, making the site a very specific local operation rather than a broad week-round dining room. The business remains tied to one place and one schedule, which shapes how it is experienced by visitors. The menu on the official site is compact and barbecue-led, with brisket, pork spare ribs, pork steak, chicken and sausage listed alongside sauce, branded merchandise and gift cards. That range points to a focused pit barbecue business where smoked meat is the main emphasis. The offering is straightforward rather than expansive, and the emphasis stays on Texas barbecue staples instead of a wider restaurant list with separate sections for starters or complex plated courses. Texas Monthly describes Snow’s as a small red building with an open-air shed behind it where the pits are visible, and it names Tootsie Tomanetz and Kerry Bexley as central to the cooking operation. The article also refers to post oak cooking, direct- and indirect-heat pits, and brisket, chicken and pork steaks being prepared before being brought inside for slicing. The official site adds the practical detail that Snow’s is pet friendly. Taken together, the evidence presents a compact Lexington barbecue joint with a strong roadside identity and a Saturday-only rhythm. Its character comes from the smokehouse setting, the narrow menu and the emphasis on central Texas barbecue methods rather than elaborate dining-room service. The experience described in the sources is one of a long-established local pit barbecue business in a single small-town location, where the cooking style and place are as important as the food itself.

438. COMO Parrot Cay

     Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands

     COMO Parrot Cay occupies a private island between Providenciales and North Caicos, where white sand, coastal vegetation and sheltered waterways define the landscape. Arrival by boat establishes the sense of separation, while the resort’s understated buildings leave plenty of space for beach walks and quiet time beside the sea. The accommodation ranges from rooms and suites to beach houses, villas and larger private residences. Interiors favour pale fabrics, timber and natural light, with terraces or outdoor living areas that suit the climate. Travellers can choose the sociability of the main resort or the additional space and privacy of a house, depending on the scale of their party. Wellbeing is a central part of the experience, with COMO Shambhala treatments, movement sessions and health-conscious dishes complementing the wider restaurant offering. Lotus draws on South-East Asian flavours, while private dining can be arranged in several island settings. Kayaking through mangrove waterways, boat excursions and time on the beach provide a gentle counterpoint to the spa, making the island particularly suited to an unhurried stay.

439. Tropical Sky

     East Grinstead, United Kingdom

     Tropical Sky arranges tailor-made holidays from its base in East Grinstead, with the Caribbean forming a substantial part of its programme. Its regional collection ranges from established island resorts to smaller coastal retreats, covering destinations including Antigua, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Tobago and the Grenadines. The variety allows the choice of island and accommodation to develop together. Beach holidays sit alongside family trips, honeymoons, weddings and multi-centre itineraries. All-inclusive resorts are well represented, while other options allow more time for local restaurants and exploration. Travellers can discuss whether they want a resort with an extensive activity programme, a quieter setting or a journey combining contrasting destinations. Flight connections, transfers and the pace of the trip are considered within that planning. The company’s wider portfolio includes tours and long-haul destinations beyond the Caribbean, creating possibilities for more elaborate combinations. Advisors work by telephone and through online enquiries, helping to refine hotel and itinerary choices. For an island holiday, the service offers a way to compare different styles of stay while bringing the practical travel arrangements into one coherent plan.

440. Whistler Blackcomb

     British Columbia

     Whistler Blackcomb combines two mountains above Whistler in British Columbia, with skiing and snowboarding forming the winter operation. In the warmer months, the same alpine landscape becomes a setting for sightseeing and hiking, with the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola connecting the mountain experience. Summer access can include more than 50 kilometres of trails, with routes and scenery changing from early-season snow walls to wildflowers and glacier views. Gondolas rise from Whistler Village and the Upper Village, giving visitors several ways to reach the alpine. Mountain shops provide equipment and outdoor clothing, while opening dates and lift operations follow the resort’s seasonal calendar.

441. MASU by Nic Watt

     Auckland, New Zealand

     MASU by Nic Watt is a restaurant in Auckland, New Zealand.

442. Cecconi’s

     London, UK

     Cecconi’s Mayfair is the original London restaurant in the group, at 5A Burlington Gardens in Mayfair, near Bond Street. The official site says it has welcomed guests since 1978 and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. That places it as a long-established Northern Italian dining room in the West End, with a central address suited to both pre-theatre stops and longer meals in one of London’s busiest restaurant districts. The kitchen is built around modern classic Northern Italian cooking. Online menus show cicchetti, burrata, calamari fritti, tagliolini with lemon and caviar, spaghetti lobster, veal Milanese and Dover sole, alongside salads, grill dishes, sides, bakery items and desserts. The structure of the menu suggests an all-day restaurant rather than a fixed single-format trattoria, with breakfast and brunch choices sitting comfortably beside more substantial lunch and dinner plates. The operator describes theatrical dining, with selected fish and salad dishes finished and served at the table. That detail gives the room a more polished, performative character than a straightforward neighbourhood Italian restaurant. Cecconi’s also offers private hire and semi-private dining for up to 12 guests, so the space can accommodate both informal visits and more tailored gatherings without losing its core restaurant identity or its Mayfair setting. Taken together, Cecconi’s Mayfair presents itself as a formal but accessible Italian restaurant rooted in its original London opening. Its appeal lies in a central location, a menu focused on Venetian and northern Italian classics, and service that combines tableside presentation with broader event hosting. The result is a restaurant that supports daytime dining, evening meals and private occasions in a polished West End environment.

443. Cookies Cream

     Berlin, Germany

     Cookies Cream is a vegetarian and vegan fine-dining restaurant in Mitte, Berlin, at Behrenstr. 55, 10117 Berlin. Founded in 2007 by Cookie Heinz Gindullis, it presents itself as part of the Cookies World family and as a Michelin-starred restaurant. The official site also frames the venue as a backyard address with an upstairs dining room, so the experience begins away from the street and feels deliberately tucked into the city rather than prominently front-facing. The kitchen is built around tasting menus, with five courses as the baseline and the option to extend to six or seven. A fully vegan version is available, and the menu changes seasonally around plant-led ingredients. Current classics listed by the restaurant include onsen egg yolk, miso cucumber and Parmesan dumplings, showing that the menu balances playful signatures with a more elaborate fine-dining structure. The bar is presented as a separate part of the operation. Drinks are treated with similar care. Cookies Cream offers optional wine pairings and alcohol-free pairings alongside the menu, and its wine list is described as drawing on established producers as well as niche, biodynamic and lightly natural bottles. The site also highlights a Cookies Bar and an “Our Own Bourbon” page, indicating a broader drinks programme that sits alongside the restaurant rather than simply supporting it. This gives the Berlin address a layered dining and bar identity. Practical details on the reservation pages show dinner service on Tuesday to Thursday from 18:30 to 23:00 and on Friday and Saturday from 17:00 to 23:00. Guests are asked to mention allergies or intolerances in advance, and the restaurant says some restrictions cannot be accommodated. Accessibility is also qualified: the upstairs restaurant is only limitedly wheelchair accessible. These details suggest a highly structured service model, with clear boundaries around what the kitchen can and cannot provide.

444. Amanyara Villas

     Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

     Amanyara’s villas sit among the coastal vegetation of north-west Providenciales, where the landscape opens towards pale sand and clear water. They translate the resort’s pavilion architecture into private compounds, with pathways, gardens and reflective ponds linking the different spaces. Some face the ocean or have direct beach access, while others concentrate on a more sheltered garden setting. The collection includes villas with three to six bedrooms, arranged around substantial living areas and an infinity-edge swimming pool. Separate bedroom pavilions create independence for travelling companions, and selected layouts include connected rooms that work differently for families with younger children. Shaded dining and lounging areas keep outdoor life central to the design without requiring everyone to occupy the same room. Villa hosts and chefs support the stay, with private meals, activities and wellness arrangements tailored to the group. Guests can also use Amanyara’s restaurants, spa and sporting facilities, or explore the coast through the resort’s watersports programme. The result is a flexible base for families and friends who want a private place to return to while sharing the wider amenities of an established resort.

445. Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay

     Singapore, Singapore

     Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay occupies a waterfront position beside Marina Bay, with two textured domes giving the arts centre its familiar silhouette. Beneath them, a varied programme brings together music, theatre, dance and performances from Singapore and beyond. The complex combines formal auditoria with smaller stages and public spaces, allowing visitors to encounter the arts in several different ways. The Concert Hall and Theatre provide substantial settings for ticketed productions, while more intimate venues support smaller performances and experimental work. The waterfront and concourse also host programmes that connect the centre with everyday city life. Exhibition areas, gardens and quiet corners encourage visitors to spend time in the building even when they are not heading directly to a seat. Guided tours explain the architecture and the design of the performance spaces, adding another layer to a visit. Restaurants and nearby transport links make it easy to build an evening around a show, and the bayfront setting is particularly rewarding for a walk before or after the programme. Esplanade's distinctive quality is the way a major arts institution remains open to the surrounding city, combining large productions with accessible public encounters.

446. Dill

     Iceland

     DILL is a restaurant in Reykjavík, Iceland, on the second floor at Laugavegur 59. Its own location page describes the room as a beautifully rendered fishing shed with modern comfort, which gives the dining space a distinctive urban setting in the city centre. The business is presented as a focused dining destination rather than a casual all-day venue, and the address and format identify a specific restaurant branch operating under the DILL name. Founded in 2009, DILL says its cooking is inspired by the Icelandic landscape, native ingredients and sustainability. The restaurant describes a kitchen that explores new methods and preparations while respecting raw materials and using as much of each ingredient as possible. It also states that founding chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason is at the helm, which reinforces the impression of a chef-led restaurant with a defined culinary viewpoint and a close link to Icelandic produce. The food offer is framed as Nordic cooking shaped by Icelandic ingredients and traditions. DILL says its menu can be enjoyed with or without drinks pairings, and that it offers organic wines together with mixed beverage and alcohol-free pairings. The restaurant also explains that its menu structure does not allow vegan or milk-protein-free options, while some other allergies may be considered if notified in advance, so the dining format is deliberately narrow and carefully planned. Overall, the verified details point to a restaurant experience centred on technique, local sourcing and a restrained menu rather than wide choice. DILL refers to foraging, fresh ingredients and sustainability when describing its kitchen, and its setting supports an intimate dining room with a strong architectural character. The result is a restaurant whose identity is closely tied to Icelandic nature, seasonal produce and considered preparation in central Reykjavík.

447. Round Hill Hotel and Villas

     Montego Bay, Jamaica

     Round Hill’s wedding venues sit within a coastal estate west of Montego Bay, where gardens, a sheltered beach and established buildings create a relaxed Jamaican setting. The property’s residential character suits celebrations that unfold over several days, with villas allowing families or groups of friends to stay together. Sea views connect the different gathering places around the resort. The Spa Lawn provides an open garden setting for a ceremony or reception, while the beach offers a more informal atmosphere close to the water. Terraces and indoor rooms introduce further possibilities for dinners and drinks, including spaces that can be combined for an event moving between indoors and outdoors. The choice allows couples to consider both the mood of each occasion and the practical needs of their guests. Wedding planning support helps bring venue, dining and event details together. Beyond the ceremony, the resort’s restaurants, beach, swimming pools and wellness facilities provide natural meeting points, while villa terraces create more private spaces for conversation. Round Hill is particularly appealing for a celebration built around shared time, with a house-party feel supported by the facilities of an established hotel.

448. La Mar

     San Francisco, USA

     La Mar is the Peruvian restaurant at Pier 1 1/2 on San Francisco’s Embarcadero, operating as La Mar San Francisco. Its official branch page gives the waterfront address and places it with views towards the Bay Bridge and Treasure Island, identifying this as the specific San Francisco location rather than the wider brand. The setting is therefore central to the branch’s identity, tying the restaurant directly to the bay-side promenade and its harbour-facing outlook. The kitchen is presented as a celebration of Peru’s diverse gastronomy, drawing on Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Italian and Andean influences. Menu foundations include a trademark cebiche bar and a charcoal-fired oven, which indicate a range that reaches from uncooked seafood preparations to grilled and roasted dishes. This approach gives the restaurant a clearly Peruvian frame while allowing the cooking to move beyond one format or region of the country’s cuisine. The food and drink list centres on Peruvian dishes such as cebiche, tiraditos and anticuchos, with seafood taking a leading role. The beverage programme places pisco at its core and is joined by cocktails, wine and light Peruvian lagers. Together, these elements create a menu that is both focused and varied, with the drinks side reflecting the same national emphasis as the kitchen rather than feeling generic or detached from the food. Official room-tour material names La Mar Bar, the Cebiche Lounge, Mesón del Chef and a Waterfront Patio, showing several distinct dining settings within the branch. The Cebiche Lounge sits on the Pier Breezeway and can be arranged for formal seated dinners, while the patio looks over the bay. Service information also lists lunch, dinner and weekday happy hour, so the restaurant operates as a full-day waterfront dining room with flexible spaces for different occasions.

449. Nae:um

     Singapore

     Nae:um is a restaurant in Singapore.

450. Aman Tokyo

     Tokyo, Japan

     High above the business district of Otemachi, Aman Tokyo interprets the Japanese inn on the scale of a metropolitan hotel. Its position in the Otemachi Tower brings wide views across the capital, while stone, timber and translucent washi paper give the interiors a measured, distinctly Japanese character. The lofty lobby introduces this approach with generous space and seasonal ikebana arrangements. Accommodation continues the theme with sliding shoji screens, deep stone furo baths and large windows. Living areas encourage guests to settle in and take in the skyline, and the larger suites separate sleeping, dining and relaxation. The spa includes a 30-metre indoor swimming pool, hot baths, steam rooms and studios for yoga and Pilates, creating scope for a slower day between city excursions. Dining spans Italian cooking at Arva and an intimate Edomae sushi counter at Musashi by Aman, alongside a lounge, café and patisserie. Beneath the hotel, Otemachi Station connects several underground lines; Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace gardens are also nearby. The setting is particularly useful for travellers who want central access with substantial space to retreat at the end of the day.

451. Caesars Palace

     Las Vegas, United States

     Caesars Palace occupies a central stretch of the Las Vegas Strip, using columns, statues and expansive public spaces to establish its Roman-inspired character. The resort has developed into a complex of hotel towers, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues, while retaining a recognisable architectural theme. Its position makes it a convenient base for exploring the surrounding Strip on foot. Accommodation ranges from hotel rooms and suites to the more private villa collection, with distinct experiences across the different towers. The Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis provides a substantial outdoor retreat, and Qua Baths & Spa adds treatments and bathing facilities. These spaces offer a change of pace within a property whose public areas can be busy throughout the day. The casino and sportsbook sit alongside a wide range of dining, from casual food counters to restaurants associated with established chefs. The Colosseum hosts live performances, while the Forum Shops add boutiques and places to eat. Caesars Palace works as a full Las Vegas stay, combining gaming, dining and entertainment with enough variation in accommodation and shared spaces to support different styles of visit.

452. La Capital Tacos

     Montreal, Canada

     La Capital Tacos is a restaurant in Montreal, Canada.

453. City of Dreams Macau

     Cotai, Macao

     City of Dreams brings together several distinct hotels, restaurants, performance spaces and a casino in the Cotai district of Macao. Its most recognisable building is Morpheus, whose sculptural external framework was designed by Zaha Hadid. Inside, soaring voids and suspended bridges give the hotel a markedly different character from the quieter, Asian-influenced interiors of Nüwa and the contemporary accommodation at Grand Hyatt Macau. The resort rewards time beyond the gaming floor. Contemporary artworks are displayed across the complex, while dining ranges from regional Chinese cooking to French menus and Japanese restaurants. The House of Dancing Water combines aquatic staging with acrobatics and theatrical storytelling, providing a substantial evening attraction in its own right. Shopping galleries connect many of the public areas. Facilities depend on the hotel selected, with separate spas, swimming pools and fitness spaces supporting different styles of stay. Morpheus has an elevated outdoor pool, while Grand Hyatt offers a long pool surrounded by loungers. The combination makes City of Dreams useful for travellers seeking a hotel with a clearly defined identity within a broader entertainment resort, with much of their dining and evening programme available on site.

454. Sipadan Island

     Sabah, Malaysia

     Sipadan rises from deep water off the east coast of Sabah, creating a dramatic transition from a small forested island to steep underwater walls. The surrounding sea supports coral, schooling fish and larger marine life, giving the destination a character distinct from the shallower coastal reefs nearby. For divers, the interest lies in this combination of vertical scenery and an active open-water environment. Barracuda Point is associated with large schools of fish, while the island's drop-off provides another memorable setting. Turtles, reef sharks and other marine animals may be encountered around the reefs, although each dive depends on conditions and the movement of wildlife. The range of sites allows guides to build a programme around the group's experience and the state of the sea. Access is managed through a permit system, and visits are arranged with operators based around the wider Semporna area and neighbouring islands. Planning ahead is therefore important, particularly when Sipadan is the main reason for the trip. Time elsewhere in the region can add contrasting reef and marine experiences. Sipadan is most rewarding as a carefully organised diving destination, with the protected island and its surrounding waters remaining the clear focus.

455. Nahm

     Thailand

     Nahm gives traditional Thai cooking a contemporary expression at COMO Metropolitan Bangkok. Chef Pim Techamuanvivit builds the menu around ingredients sourced through relationships with producers across Thailand, with bold flavours and contrasting textures at the centre of the meal. Curries, salads, relishes, soups and stir-fries form the repertoire. Garlic, shrimp paste, chillies and lemongrass appear alongside ingredients less commonly seen on modern restaurant menus, creating opportunities to explore beyond familiar Thai dishes. The dining room occupies the hotel’s ground floor, with a terrace overlooking the pool and a private room for smaller gatherings. A degustation menu provides a route through the kitchen’s ideas, while seasonal changes introduce different regional influences. The Sathorn address makes Nahm a practical dinner destination within the city. Its strongest reason to visit is the food’s connection to Thai producers and culinary traditions, interpreted by a Bangkok-born chef with a personal understanding of both.

456. Sezanne

     Japan

     Sézanne occupies the seventh floor of Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi, close to Tokyo Station. Its modern French cooking is served in a dining room created with interior architect André Fu, bringing a restrained contemporary setting to the tasting-menu experience. Stephen Lancaster took over the kitchen in April 2026, succeeding Daniel Calvert and continuing the restaurant's French foundations. The menu follows seasonal ingredients, including Japanese produce, while the hotel setting places the meal above one of the city's principal rail districts. Sézanne remains distinct from Maison Marunouchi, the hotel's more informal French bistro on the same floor.

457. Cape Town International Convention Centre

     Cape Town, South Africa

     Cape Town International Convention Centre sits on the Foreshore, between the central business district and the harbour. Its two connected buildings provide a substantial setting for conferences, exhibitions and public events, with the city and Table Mountain forming part of the wider backdrop. The location allows business visitors to combine a tightly organised programme with restaurants, hotels and Cape Town's waterfront attractions. The venue offers exhibition halls, meeting suites, ballrooms and auditoria. Auditorium One occupies the recognisable oval section of the original building and includes tiered seating, a fixed stage and supporting spaces for speakers and production teams. Elsewhere, rooms can be arranged for workshops, dinners and smaller professional gatherings, while foyers provide space for refreshments, registration and informal conversations. The combination of venues makes the centre useful for events that need a main congress alongside exhibitions or parallel sessions. Catering and technical services support the different formats, reducing the need to move between separate locations during a busy day. Outside the building, the Foreshore provides an urban base from which to explore the city, with the V&A Waterfront and historic central streets accessible beyond the formal conference schedule.

458. Crystal

     Hallandale Beach, United States

     Crystal offers ocean voyages shaped by spacious accommodation, dining and a strong emphasis on life on board. Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony provide the familiar foundation of the fleet, carrying travellers between regional ports on shorter journeys and across continents on more extended itineraries. The atmosphere is sociable and polished, with several places to dine, listen to music or spend a quiet afternoon at sea. Dining is an important part of the experience. Umi Uma brings Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese-Peruvian cooking to the ships, while other restaurants explore Italian dishes, contemporary international menus and more informal meals. Suites and guestrooms span different categories, and the choice influences the amount of living space and the character of the stay. Public rooms, open decks and spa facilities provide alternatives to the restaurant and entertainment programme. Ashore, excursions connect the itinerary with local culture, food and landscapes, while longer sailings allow time to settle into the ship's routines. The experience works particularly well for travellers who see dining, conversation and entertainment as integral parts of the journey. Choosing between the ships and routes is worthwhile, as each voyage balances port calls and sea days differently.

459. Palkin

     St Petersburg, Russia

     Palkin is a restaurant in St Petersburg, Russia.

460. The Link Infinity Pool at One&Only One Za'abeel

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     The infinity pool at One&Only One Za'abeel sits above Dubai on The Link, the horizontal structure connecting the development's towers. Its elevated position creates a long perspective across the city, including the Burj Khalifa, with the waterline meeting a panorama of glass, roads and distant buildings. The setting makes contemporary engineering part of the swimming experience rather than merely a backdrop. The pool occupies Level 27 and is reserved for guests aged twenty-one and above. Its open skyline outlook gives it a different atmosphere from the hotel's landscaped Garden Pool lower down. Here, the emphasis is on the view and the sense of height, whether swimming, resting on the deck or watching the city shift towards evening. The pool and tower architecture are inseparable parts of the scene. Current access is exclusive to guests staying at One&Only One Za'abeel. Visitors should distinguish this from separately advertised Garden Pool day passes, which concern another pool. For hotel residents, The Link offers a distinctive pause between dining, wellness and exploring Dubai, with an urban horizon replacing the sea or mountains associated with more conventional infinity pools.

461. Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara

     Salalah, Oman

     Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara lies between a beach and a freshwater lagoon on Oman's southern coast. Its architecture recalls coastal fortresses, softened by palms, garden paths and water features. The neighbouring archaeological park and Museum of the Land of Frankincense give the location a cultural dimension that extends beyond a conventional beach holiday. Rooms offer balconies or terraces with garden, sea or beach views. Villas provide more private outdoor space, with separate pool-villa categories suited to guests who want to spend much of the day in their own surroundings. The shared infinity pool and beach offer alternatives, while the spa incorporates frankincense into selected rituals alongside other treatments. Fitness facilities and children's activities allow different generations to shape their days at their own pace. Restaurants and private dining options make it possible to remain within the resort, though excursions into Salalah and the wider Dhofar landscape add variety. The proximity of the lagoon, sea and historic ruins is the property's defining feature. Guests can move between water, gardens and heritage during the same stay, combining time at the spa with a closer understanding of the region's long association with frankincense and maritime trade.

462. GoldenEye Villas

     Oracabessa, Jamaica

     GoldenEye's villas are scattered through tropical gardens beside the beaches and lagoon of Oracabessa on Jamaica's north coast. The property is closely associated with Ian Fleming, whose former home remains part of the estate, but its present-day appeal is also architectural: individual houses make the landscape feel residential, with water and greenery close to the door. Designed by Jamaican architect Ann Hodges, the beach and lagoon villas combine hardwood floors, high ceilings and substantial furniture with verandas and outdoor dining areas. Full kitchens make it easy to spend an unhurried morning at home, while garden showers introduce an outdoor element to the bathrooms. The collection includes different bedroom arrangements, allowing couples, families and small groups to choose a scale that suits them. The beach and lagoon create contrasting settings for swimming and relaxing, and the wider property includes restaurants, bars and a spa. A villa stay can therefore move between the independence of a private house and the sociability of a resort. The distinctive quality is the combination of Jamaican design, a lived-in cultural history and accommodation that encourages guests to spend as much time outside as within.

463. CUT by Wolfgang Puck

     Beverly Hills, USA

     CUT by Wolfgang Puck in Beverly Hills is the original CUT location, set within the Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, A Four Seasons Hotel at 9500 Wilshire Boulevard. The restaurant is presented by Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining as a contemporary steakhouse, with the Beverly Hills branch positioned as part of a landmark hotel setting rather than a standalone venue. Reservations are recommended, and valet parking is available on site. The menu is built around prime cuts of beef from different regions, with additional emphasis on shellfish, seafood and an international wine list. Wolfgang Puck’s own site describes CUT as a reinvention of the traditional steakhouse, with an approach intended to bring a fine-dining level to the genre. The Beverly Hills page also notes that the restaurant has received a MICHELIN star, and that it remains one of the group’s most sought-after steak restaurants. The Beverly Hills branch includes CUT Lounge alongside the main dining room, giving the property a separate bar-led space within the same operation. Private dining is also an established part of the restaurant’s offer, with Petit CUT, a semi-private Rodeo Drive tier, full buyout options and dedicated event capacities listed by the operator. These details suggest a restaurant designed for both regular dining and larger hosted occasions. In character, CUT combines a polished hotel dining room with a modern architectural setting and a service style aimed at special-occasion use. The official materials stress dramatic presentation, considered wine service and a calm, upscale atmosphere rather than rustic steakhouse informality. Its location inside Beverly Wilshire places it in a well-known Beverly Hills address, while the kitchen focus remains squarely on beef, seafood and a broad cellar programme.

464. Casa Mono

     New York, USA

     Casa Mono is a restaurant in New York, USA.

465. Finca Cortesin

     Casares, Spain

     Finca Cortesin sits in the hills near Casares, a short distance inland from the Mediterranean coast. Whitewashed buildings, generous courtyards and carefully planted gardens give the hotel an Andalusian character, while its spacious suites introduce a quieter, residential scale. Views vary between gardens, pools and the wider coastal landscape, with private outdoor space forming an important part of the accommodation. The estate's eighteen-hole course was designed by Cabell B. Robinson. It moves across rolling ground, using wide fairways, strategic bunkers and coastal views to create a varied round. The academy and clubhouse support golfers who want to practise as well as play, and the relationship between the course and hotel makes it practical to return to the suite between activities. A substantial spa, swimming pools and fitness facilities give non-golfing hours equal attention. Restaurants explore Mediterranean, Italian and Japanese influences, while the separate beach club adds a seaside setting a short drive away. The hotel suits travellers looking to combine several rounds with the slower pleasures of southern Spain, from time in the gardens to meals that extend into the evening.

466. Avli

     Chicago, USA

     Avli River North is a contemporary Greek restaurant at 702 North Wells Street in Chicago’s River North neighbourhood. This branch is presented as serving Greek fare and drinks, with lunch and dinner offered through the week and brunch at weekends. Rather than describing a single-room setup, the venue combines restaurant and bar elements within one address. That makes it suited to different kinds of visits, from a weekday meal to a more leisurely stop centred on drinks or shared plates. The River North location is defined by several distinct spaces. Its official description highlights an expansive patio, an intimate upstairs dining room and a downstairs bar, giving the restaurant separate settings within the same venue. The page also refers to pink bougainvillea and a Santorini-inspired atmosphere, signalling a decorative approach that draws on Greek island imagery without suggesting a themed resort environment. Overall, the branch appears designed to feel atmospheric and sociable while still operating as an urban neighbourhood restaurant. Across the published menus, Avli offers a wider framework than a single all-day list. The site includes separate food and drink menus as well as lunch specials, brunch and dessert, indicating service that changes with the time of day. Avli’s broader description of its cooking refers to classic and contemporary Greek dishes, which helps place the River North branch within that culinary approach. Drinks are part of the offer too, supported by the dedicated bar space and distinct beverage listings on the site. Beyond seated dining, the restaurant also accommodates other ways of ordering and organising a visit. The River North page notes delivery and pickup, while the wider Avli site includes to-go ordering options for Chicago locations. Reservations are available, and the business also promotes catering, showing that its services extend beyond the dining room alone. Taken together, those details present Avli River North as a flexible Greek restaurant with several dining areas, a bar-led component and multiple ways for Chicago customers to use it.

467. Antoine’s

     New Orleans, USA

     Antoine’s is a long-established restaurant in New Orleans’ French Quarter, now operating from 713 Saint Louis Street. The business traces its beginnings to 1840, when Antoine Alciatore founded the restaurant in the city, and its official history notes that it later moved to the present address in 1868. That background places Antoine’s among the historic dining institutions of the Quarter, where the restaurant is defined by its longstanding identity, family connection and deeply rooted place in the city’s hospitality culture. The restaurant is associated with French-Creole cooking, a style reflected in tourism material and in Antoine’s own emphasis on tradition. Rather than presenting itself as a contemporary tasting-menu venue, it is described through classic restaurant dining shaped by established house specialities and a menu approach tied to lunch and dinner service. The culinary character therefore centres on a recognisable New Orleans tradition, combining French influence and local Creole expression in a setting that foregrounds continuity, formality and an enduring restaurant style. A notable part of Antoine’s character is its unusually extensive series of dining rooms. Official private-dining information shows multiple named spaces used for gatherings, while the restaurant also receives regular diners in its main rooms. Those interiors support occasions ranging from private parties to weddings and other special events, giving the property a layout more varied than a single-hall restaurant. This arrangement helps define the experience, with different rooms contributing their own atmosphere while remaining part of one historic French Quarter establishment. Historic detail is woven into the setting. Antoine’s official history refers to the 1840 Room and to preserved artefacts including a duck press, linking present-day dining with the restaurant’s past. The overall impression is of a traditional, multi-room house where table service, heritage décor and ceremonial touches matter as much as the menu style. In practical terms, Antoine’s functions both as a restaurant for everyday service and as a venue for private dining, with its character shaped by long continuity and carefully maintained historic surroundings.

468. The Romanos Resort, Costa Navarino

     Messinia, Greece

     The Romanos Resort, Costa Navarino is a luxury golf resort that overlooks the Ionian Sea in Greece. The resort has two signature golf courses, The Dunes Course and The Bay Course, which offer stunning views and challenging layouts. The resort also has a spa, a fitness center, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a kids club, and several restaurants and bars.

469. Tokyo Camii and Diyanet Turkish Culture Center

     Tokyo, Japan

     Tokyo Camii brings Ottoman architectural traditions to a residential corner of Shibuya, near Yoyogi-Uehara Station. Its dome and slender minaret stand apart from the surrounding cityscape, signalling a place of worship whose history in Tokyo reaches back to 1938. The present complex also houses a Turkish cultural centre, giving the building a role in everyday exchange as well as religious practice. The prayer hall is richly decorated with calligraphy, patterned surfaces and stained glass. A central chandelier and the curved volume of the dome draw the eye upwards, while carefully worked details give visitors plenty to examine at a slower pace. The architecture provides an accessible introduction to a tradition more commonly associated with Istanbul and other cities of the former Ottoman world. The cultural centre broadens the visit through exhibitions, talks, cooking activities and a halal market. General visits and guided tours operate around the mosque's religious responsibilities, with visitors expected to dress modestly and respect prayer. Its location away from Tokyo's busiest sightseeing circuits makes the contrast particularly interesting: a functioning community institution where Japanese urban life and Turkish cultural traditions meet.

470. United MileagePlus

     Chicago, United States

     MileagePlus links United Airlines flights with a wider network of airline and travel partners. Members collect award miles through eligible journeys and qualifying partner activity, then use them for future travel and other rewards. The programme has a particularly strong connection with United's United States network, while Star Alliance and additional partnerships extend its reach internationally. Award miles and Premier qualification serve different purposes. A redeemable balance can be used to explore flight rewards, whereas Premier status recognises qualifying activity and provides benefits under the programme's rules. Award pricing varies, so flexible dates and alternative routings can make a meaningful difference when comparing options. Miles do not expire, allowing members to build towards a trip over time. Hotels, car hire and other partners provide earning or redemption opportunities beyond the flight itself. Certain linked payment cards also carry additional benefits, with eligibility depending on the product and market. The programme is most useful when those options fit a traveller's existing habits. Rather than focusing solely on the size of a balance, members can assess the complete cost of an award and the practical value of any status benefits on the journeys they actually take.

471. Abd el Wahab

     Beirut, Lebanon

     Abd el Wahab is a Lebanese restaurant in Beirut’s Sodeco area, on Abd el Wahab El Inglizi Street in Ashrafieh. The operator says the business began on that street in 1999 and presents the original Beirut branch as the foundation of the name and concept. Its official materials describe a restaurant rooted in Lebanese food traditions while also aiming for a contemporary dining experience in the city centre. The menu is broad and built around classic Lebanese and oriental cooking. Verified sections include salads, raw meat specialities, hot starters, fish, grilled dishes, sandwiches, platters and desserts. Named dishes include tabbouleh, fattouch, hommos, moutabbal, fatté variations, taouk, kafta, lamb cutlets, kebbeh on skewers and knefeh, alongside other sweets such as ashta-based desserts and mhalabieh. The Beirut branch offers dine-in alongside takeaway and delivery, and the published delivery menu shows a sizeable range rather than a narrow selection of house signatures. Its structure supports both mezze-style ordering and fuller grill-led meals, with platters and mixed dishes available for sharing. The official presentation also links the restaurant with traditional Lebanese culture, expressed through a setting intended to feel comfortable and contemporary. Independent Beirut listings place Abd el Wahab in a central Ashrafieh location and note terrace dining, reinforcing its urban, relaxed character. The branch therefore reads as a long-established neighbourhood restaurant rather than a formal destination venue, with a focus on familiar Lebanese dishes, shared plates and a setting suited to leisurely meals. The available evidence supports the Beirut Sodeco branch as an active restaurant with a well-defined local identity.

472. Claridge's

     London

     Claridge’s on Brook Street combines Mayfair’s hotel traditions with a substantial Art Deco heritage. Rooms and suites span Victorian, Art Deco and contemporary styles, with individual categories preserving original fireplaces or adding terraces. The Mayfair Suites have separate sitting rooms, while the hotel’s spa includes a swimming pool and sauna. Afternoon tea in The Foyer & Reading Room remains a defining ritual. The dining collection also includes Dante Mayfair, bringing New York’s aperitivo culture to the hotel, and a bakery devoted to British baking. Cocktails move between the intimate Fumoir, the Art Deco Painter’s Room and Claridge’s Bar, each with its own character.

473. Narita International Airport

     Narita, Japan

     Narita International Airport sits in Chiba Prefecture, serving Tokyo through a network of rail and road connections. Its terminals bring together international departures, domestic connections and the practical services needed for a journey across Japan. Restaurants and shops are distributed through both public and passenger areas, giving the airport a role beyond the departure gate for people meeting friends or seeing off family. The observation decks are a particular attraction. Terminal 1's fifth-floor deck overlooks the main runway, while two viewing areas on Terminal 2's fourth floor offer close views of parked aircraft. These open-air spaces provide a different perspective on the airport, with the movement of aircraft and ground crews replacing the usual terminal bustle. Access is subject to weather conditions. Dining and shopping range across the terminals, so the experience depends partly on the airline and departure area. Floor maps, transport information and live flight details help travellers plan their route without assuming that every facility is available after security. Narita rewards a little advance preparation, especially for visitors combining a flight with onward travel to Tokyo or elsewhere in the country.

476. Petra Archaeological Park

     Wadi Musa, Jordan

     Petra reveals itself through a sequence of landscapes, beginning with the approach from Wadi Musa and the narrow sandstone gorge known as the Siq. The passage opens towards the Treasury, whose carved façade gives the ancient Nabataean city its most familiar image. That first encounter is only the beginning of a much larger archaeological landscape. Beyond the Treasury, the main route passes rock-cut tombs, the theatre and a colonnaded street before reaching Qasr al-Bint. The surviving architecture records different uses and periods of the city, while channels along the Siq demonstrate the ingenuity of its water management. Sandstone colours and natural formations remain as compelling as the carved monuments, creating a setting in which geology and human construction are closely intertwined. The main trail runs from the visitor centre into the heart of the site, with additional routes extending the visit into other areas. Distances are substantial, and an out-and-back walk takes longer than the one-way route description might suggest. Allowing time for the smaller structures and details makes the journey more rewarding than concentrating solely on the Treasury. Petra is an extensive outdoor site that lends itself to a considered itinerary and unhurried exploration.

477. Amanpulo

     Philippines

     Amanpulo occupies Pamalican Island in the Cuyo Archipelago, where a ring of pale sand separates tropical greenery from clear water and coral reefs. Its private island setting gives the resort a sense of seclusion, with woodland paths, quiet coves and open sea forming the backdrop to a stay. Casitas sit among the trees, on the hillside or beside the beach, offering different ways to experience the landscape. Larger beachfront villas add private pools, with dedicated chef and butler service, making them particularly suited to families or friends seeking more space and independence. Dining draws on locally caught seafood and vegetables and herbs grown on the island. Filipino, Mediterranean, Japanese and Italian influences appear across the resort's venues, from the Beach Club's seaside tables to casual lunches beneath the trees at the Picnic Grove. Individual outlets operate seasonally. Days can be shaped around snorkelling, diving, cruises and water sports, or kept quiet with beach time and treatments at the spa. Amanpulo is especially appealing for guests who want the island itself to set the pace, with dining, accommodation and recreation gathered into one carefully considered retreat.

478. 9 Bedroom Ocean Villa at Amanpuri Phuket Thailand

479. Bombardier Challenger 3500

     Dorval, Canada

     The Bombardier Challenger 3500 centres its passenger experience on a cabin that can shift between work, conversation and relaxation. Developed for the super midsize segment, it combines the established Challenger layout with seating and cabin technology also associated with Bombardier's larger aircraft. For travellers, its appeal lies in the practical details encountered throughout a business trip or a longer leisure journey. Nuage seats provide adjustable support and reclining positions, while cabin controls can manage lighting, temperature and entertainment by voice. Wireless charging reduces the need to arrange cables around a seat, and a 4K display provides a focal point for films or presentations. Upholstery, veneers and other finishes can be selected from different material palettes, including natural fibres and alternative woods, so individual interiors have their own character. Cabin pressurisation is designed to maintain a comfortable environment during cruise, while the flight deck includes automatic throttle control as standard. The overall arrangement favours a travelling party sharing one connected space, with seats and tables supporting changing activities along the way. Checking the specific aircraft's layout and equipment remains useful when planning meetings, meals or rest on board.

480. Pepe in Grani

     Caiazzo, Italy

     Pepe in Grani is a restaurant in Caiazzo, Italy.

481. Palawan

     Palawan, Philippines

     Palawan is a long island in the western Philippines, with forested landscapes, limestone formations and a coastline that opens onto smaller islands and sheltered waters. Its appeal lies in the connection between land and sea: a journey can move from a wooded interior to a beach, a river or a bay framed by steep rock. The wider province includes additional island groups, so geography matters when planning a stay. In the north, El Nido provides access to the beaches and lagoons of Bacuit Bay. Boat trips, kayaking and snorkelling reveal the limestone coast from different perspectives, while mainland shores offer places to pause between excursions. Farther south, the Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park combines a navigable cave river with a protected landscape extending from the mountains to the sea. Palawan’s forests, mangroves and marine habitats support a wide variety of life, giving nature-focused visits particular depth. Choosing a smaller number of bases allows more time in each area, rather than spending a holiday continually in transit. Local guides can help explain the relationship between communities and the landscape, adding context to experiences that are often introduced through photographs of water and cliffs.

482. Lancaster Ballroom at The Savoy

     London, United Kingdom

     At river level within The Savoy, the Lancaster Ballroom pairs Art Deco design with the practical scale of a substantial London event room. Its 476 square metres can be arranged for a wedding ceremony, a dinner with dancing or a conference. The hotel’s position on the Strand places the occasion within easy reach of the West End and the Thames. A built-in stage gives speeches, presentations and live entertainment a clear focal point. The adjoining Parlour Room can be used alongside the ballroom, helping organisers create a sequence of arrivals, receptions and main events. Rather than imposing one format, the room’s layout and styling can be adapted to the number of guests and the balance between dining, dancing and other activities. The Savoy’s event services bring floral design, menu planning and audiovisual production into that process. Dietary requirements can be discussed with the catering team, while the hotel’s florists shape arrangements around the setting and occasion. For guests travelling to London, the wider hotel provides accommodation and dining around the celebration. The ballroom’s combination of a stage, supporting room and distinctive period design is central to its character.

483. Lilly Singh

     Canada

     Lilly Singh works across comedy, writing, acting and production, with a public career that developed from creating videos for an online audience. Her performance style brings character work and personal observation together, often using humour to explore identity, expectations and the experience of moving between different cultural settings. That combination has carried into television, books and longer narrative projects. Singh’s professional work includes presenting a late-night television programme and appearing in film and television productions. As an author, she has also used a more direct, reflective voice, extending the conversation beyond the pace of a comedy sketch. The range of formats gives audiences different ways to encounter the same interest in storytelling and the roles people are expected to perform. Through Unicorn Island, the company she founded, Singh develops projects with an emphasis on voices and perspectives that have received less space in mainstream entertainment. Its production and social-impact work reflects her wider interest in representation and gender equity. Her official platforms bring these strands together, offering a profile of a Canadian creator whose work now spans both performance and the development of stories behind the camera.

     New York, USA

     Junoon is a restaurant in New York, USA.

485. American Bar at The Savoy

     London, United Kingdom

     The American Bar brings the intimacy of a cocktail lounge to The Savoy, just off the Strand in central London. Opened in 1893, it has a history woven into the development of the modern mixed drink. Its polished room, with a piano, softly lit tables and an assured sense of occasion, makes an inviting pause between the theatres and restaurants of the surrounding West End. The drinks programme moves between established classics, reinterpretations and original creations. Menus draw on people, events and encounters associated with the hotel, giving a familiar spirit an unexpected historical connection. Whisky, rum, gin and fortified wines appear in carefully considered combinations, while the bar's long tradition provides a useful starting point for anyone who prefers to order a favourite cocktail. A visit rewards a little time and curiosity. Discussing preferred flavours with the team can be as useful as studying the menu, particularly when choosing between a recognisable classic and a more exploratory drink. The appeal lies in the relationship between the setting and the craft: an old London address that continues to treat the cocktail as a living form.

486. Seroja

     Singapore

     Seroja is a restaurant at DUO Galleria in Singapore’s Bugis area, at 7 Fraser Street, and its official material identifies it as a 2,700-square-foot dining room in the heart of the development. The restaurant presents itself around the Malay Archipelago, with a name taken from the Malay word for lotus, and the setting is described by the operator as an open-kitchen space with counter seating as well as tables for small groups. The cooking is organised as tasting menus at lunch and dinner, with the current official menu listing Kuntum for lunch and Nusantara for dinner. Dishes shown on the restaurant’s own pages include spot prawn with asam pedas sauce, braised beef tripe and cheeks, mangrove wood-charred seafood, silver pomfret with jade abalone, lamb percik, duck percik and seasonal desserts such as wild basil sorbet and muah chee, suggesting a menu built from regional flavours, herbs and seafood. Seroja’s reservations and information pages state that the restaurant is open Tuesdays to Saturdays for dinner, with lunch on Fridays and Saturdays, and it advises allowing several hours for the meal. The restaurant says its food contains no pork or alcohol, that its meat is sourced from halal sources, and that it cannot accommodate vegan or gluten-free menus that require the removal of core ingredients such as seafood, coconut, soy, alliums, herbs, spices and gluten. The operator also emphasises provenance and collaboration, naming farmers, fishermen, artisans and growers from Singapore, Malaysia and elsewhere around the archipelago. Its own team page identifies chef-owner Kevin Wong, head chef Andrew Ou and general manager Long Tran, while the restaurant story highlights its intention to celebrate familiar flavours through produce-led cooking and a dining experience shaped by regional craft and ingredients.

487. Nusr-Et

     New York, USA

     Nusr-Et Steakhouse New York is the New York branch of the Nusr-Et restaurant group, located at 60 W 53rd St in Manhattan. Official restaurant pages identify this address as the New York outpost and classify it as a steakhouse rather than a broader mixed dining venue. The location places it in a central part of the city, and established listings tie the same branch to Midtown West, helping distinguish this specific restaurant from the group’s other international restaurants and sister locations elsewhere. The core offer is a steakhouse menu shaped around meat dishes, while the official New York page also draws attention to named house specialities including Nusr-Et Sushi and Lokum. That combination indicates a menu built not only around steaks but also around a small set of dishes strongly associated with the brand. Rather than presenting itself as an all-purpose restaurant with wide-ranging formats, the branch is defined by a focused food identity centred on steaks, branded signature plates and a recognisable style of service and presentation. Service begins at noon each day, with official hours running from 12:00 to 22:15 from Sunday to Thursday and to 22:45 on Fridays and Saturdays. The same page also promotes a daily lunch special, showing that lunch is an established part of the operation rather than an incidental add-on to dinner. These details suggest a restaurant designed for both midday and evening dining, with a schedule that supports business throughout the day instead of concentrating solely on late-night or special-occasion trade. Taken together, the verified details present Nusr-Et Steakhouse New York as a branded Manhattan steakhouse with a clearly defined identity at one specific address. Its character comes through a combination of central location, steak-led dining and the prominence of signature dishes highlighted by the operator. The experience is framed around restaurant service rather than ancillary facilities, with the emphasis on the food offer and the branch’s place within the wider Nusr-Et group. In practical terms, it reads as a distinct city restaurant, not simply a name on a global list.

488. Kubo

     Australia

     Kubo is a restaurant in Australia.

489. SEEN by Olivier

     Lisbon, Portugal

     SEEN by Olivier is a rooftop restaurant and sky bar on the ninth floor of the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa in central Lisbon, at Avenida da Liberdade 185. The venue sits above one of the city’s most prominent boulevards and is presented as SEEN Lisboa, part of the Olivier Restaurant Group and led by chef Olivier da Costa. Its official information confirms both the restaurant-and-bar space and the separate SEEN Sky Bar format, with bookings handled from the same Lisbon address. The concept combines a dining room, outdoor deck and rooftop bar, with reservations accepted for the indoor restaurant, bar and deck, while the rooftop tables themselves are walk-in only. SEEN describes the setting as elegant chic and notes full accessibility for guests with reduced mobility, including ramps and lift access to the restaurant and rooftop areas. Pets are not permitted inside the restaurant or rooftop spaces. On the menu, SEEN focuses on Mediterranean and Japanese flavours with sharing in mind, alongside creative cocktails and a dedicated skybar offer. The official site also highlights signature drinks, including the SEEN Mule, and positions the bar for sunset drinks and later evening service. The atmosphere is shaped by resident and guest DJs, giving the venue a lively social character rather than a quiet formal dining room. The wider experience is tied closely to Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa, whose official hotel pages associate SEEN by Olivier with panoramic views over the avenue and towards the Tagus River. The setting is framed as one of Lisbon’s best-known rooftop addresses, pairing city views with contemporary food and drinks in a cosmopolitan, nightlife-led environment. The restaurant’s published details suggest a place designed for shared meals, cocktails and late evenings rather than a conventional hotel dining room.

490. FZN by Björn Frantzén – Atlantis The Palm

     Dubai, UAE

     FZN by Björn Frantzén – Atlantis The Palm is a restaurant in Dubai, UAE.

491. Uffizi Galleries

     Florence, Italy

     The Uffizi occupies the upper floors of Giorgio Vasari's sixteenth-century building between Piazza della Signoria and the Arno. Originally conceived as offices for the Florentine administration, its long corridors and sequence of galleries now provide a setting for a substantial collection of European art. Windows and the colonnaded courtyard keep the city closely connected to the experience. Italian painting from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance forms the collection's centre of gravity. Works by Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo allow visitors to follow changes in composition, perspective and the portrayal of the human figure. Paintings by German, Dutch and Flemish artists broaden that account, while ancient sculpture collected by the Medici lines the corridors, linking Renaissance interests with their classical sources. A visit rewards a selective approach, with time to examine individual rooms rather than trying to absorb everything at once. Audio guides offer context for the permanent collection, and the terrace café provides a pause above the surrounding streets. For travellers interested in the relationship between art, patronage and civic identity, the building and its contents make a particularly coherent introduction to Florence.

492. Jondal

     Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain

     Jondal occupies a low-key Ibizan building beside Cala Jondal, on the island's southern coast. The cove's pale shore, pine trees and open water provide the setting for an extended seafood lunch, with tables arranged to keep the view and outdoor atmosphere central to the experience. It is an address where a day by the sea can be built around the kitchen. Fish and shellfish form the core of the menu under chef Rafa Zafra. The cooking moves between raw, grilled, fried, cured and salted preparations, allowing different textures and degrees of intensity to emerge from the same broad family of ingredients. Caviar appears in several dishes, while the emphasis on technique remains closely tied to the quality and character of the seafood itself. The mood is relaxed in appearance but carefully considered in its dining ambitions. Guests come for the combination of the cove and a substantial restaurant experience, with the sea remaining present throughout the meal. Advance reservations are particularly useful during the island's main season. Jondal suits travellers who want the pleasures of a beach setting alongside a menu that rewards time, appetite and a shared table.

493. LeYou

     San Jose, USA

     LeYou is a restaurant in San Jose, USA.

494. Presidential Suite at Raffles The Palm Dubai

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     The Presidential Suite at Raffles The Palm Dubai adopts the scale and decorative language of a grand residence on Palm Jumeirah's West Crescent. Its two-bedroom layout extends across approximately 330 square metres, with a balcony bringing the Dubai outlook into the accommodation. The setting combines a beachfront resort location with interiors that favour formal furniture, elaborate finishes and defined spaces for living. A king bedroom and a twin bedroom allow guests to share the suite while retaining separate sleeping areas. Living and dining rooms, a dressing room and a small kitchen support longer stays and private meals. Handcrafted furniture by Francesco Molon gives the rooms a consistent character, while Rosa Portogallo marble distinguishes the bathroom. The balcony's Jacuzzi adds an outdoor place to pause above the resort. Raffles Butler Service and access to the Club Lounge broaden the experience beyond the suite itself. Guests can move between their private rooms and the hotel's restaurants, beach and other facilities according to the pace of the day. This is accommodation for travellers who enjoy a richly furnished setting and substantial space, with enough separation for quiet time, conversation and entertaining within the same residence.

     New York, USA

     Minetta Tavern is a restaurant in New York, USA.

498. Seven Mile Beach

     Negril, Jamaica

     Seven Mile Beach is the sandy heart of Negril, stretching along Jamaica's western coast beside hotels, beach bars and restaurants. Pale sand and a broad view of the sea make it well suited to wandering, while the west-facing outlook brings sunset into the daily rhythm. Different sections have distinct moods, from quieter resort frontages to lively places where music and conversation spill towards the water. The beach supports a full day without demanding much movement. Visitors can swim, pause for fresh seafood or arrange a boat excursion to explore the surrounding coast and snorkelling sites. Glass-bottom boats and sunset cruises offer further ways to experience the water, while the variety of places to eat makes it easy to choose between a simple lunch and a longer evening meal. Negril's character comes through in the social life along the shore. Musicians, beachside kitchens and small businesses sit alongside established resorts, giving the area a more varied texture than a single hotel beach. The name is familiar, but the experience remains personal: a morning walk, a favourite stretch of sand or a table chosen for the last light over the sea.

499. Rooftop Pool at The Silo Hotel

     Cape Town, South Africa

     The rooftop pool at The Silo Hotel brings a quiet swimming space above Cape Town's V&A Waterfront. From this elevated position, the harbour, city and mountain landscape become part of a single outlook, while the hotel beneath occupies the upper floors of a converted grain silo. The setting connects the pool with both the waterfront's industrial history and its present cultural life. The heated water allows guests to linger, with the surrounding terrace providing room to sit and take in the view. The experience is as much about perspective as swimming: boats and waterfront activity continue below while the open sky changes the atmosphere above. Light meals and drinks are available at The Silo Rooftop, giving the wider terrace a social role alongside the more private pool area. Swimming is reserved for resident hotel guests, even when the rooftop restaurant welcomes outside diners. A stay also brings access to rooms filled with art and colour, a spa and the hotel's other dining spaces. Zeitz MOCAA sits below the hotel, making it possible to combine time with contemporary African art and an afternoon above the city within the same distinctive building.

500. Ruth’s Chris Steak House

     Canada

     Ruth’s Chris Steak House is a restaurant in Canada.

501. Japan Airlines Business Class

     Tokyo, Japan

     Japan Airlines gives its Airbus A350-1000 Business Class a notably private layout, with 54 individual seats arranged in a one, two, one configuration. Translucent sliding doors screen each space without making the cabin feel entirely enclosed. A partition between the central seats can be lowered for companions, while window seats offer a more independent setting for solo travellers. The details are designed around the changing rhythm of a long flight. A seat converts into a fully flat bed almost two metres long, with cushioning that distributes body weight. Personal wardrobes and storage for cabin baggage reduce clutter around the seat. Entertainment comes through a 24 inch 4K screen, with speakers built into the headrest, and compatible phones can be charged wirelessly. Communication panels outside the door let passengers signal their preferences to the crew. This is one member of a wider Business Class family. Japan Airlines also operates several Sky Suite designs and other seats on its international aircraft, with different layouts and levels of enclosure. The A350-1000 features should therefore be checked against the flight being booked. Reviewing the aircraft type and seat map is especially helpful when privacy, a fully flat bed or seating together is a priority.

502. Churrascaria Palace

     Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

     Churrascaria Palace is a long-established restaurant in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, on Rua Rodolfo Dantas 16, close to the Cardeal Arcoverde metro area. The business says it was founded in 1951 and later moved to its present address after a fire, with the present house rooted in the Copacabana dining scene and its musical heritage. It presents itself as one of the city’s most traditional churrascarias, and its official material identifies it as a Carioca cultural heritage venue. The core offer is rodízio service built around around 40 varieties of meats, together with a buffet that includes salads, seafood, oysters and other accompaniments. The restaurant also highlights Brazilian specialities drawn from different regions, such as cheeses, Amazonian flavours and northeastern dishes, alongside its house-created picanha borboleta and costelão preparations. Its menu pages also list desserts and drinks separately, with a dedicated wine selection. Facilities described on the official site include a large dining room of more than 1,000 square metres and the ability to host groups of up to 250 people, with private rooms available. The house also refers to a sushi bar, a breakfast-style buffet element on some menu pages, and an open kitchen in the newer salon, suggesting a contemporary service layout within a traditional churrascaria setting. The overall character is that of a busy, full-service Copacabana steakhouse where the experience combines continuous tableside service, an extensive buffet and a setting shaped by Rio’s mid-century cultural history. Official pages emphasise the restaurant’s connection to Bossa Nova-era Copacabana and its long-running role in the neighbourhood, while travel-site descriptions broadly corroborate the address and the formal, well-presented service style.

503. O Frango

     Sydney, Australia

     O Frango is a restaurant in Sydney, Australia.

504. Princess Senses The Mangrove

     Green Island, Jamaica

     Princess Senses The Mangrove sits on the coast at Green Island in western Jamaica, combining an adults only setting with the facilities of a substantial all inclusive resort. Suites have furnished outdoor areas and sea views, with swim out categories adding access to a shared pool. A separate collection of overwater villas provides a more unusual way to stay close to the Caribbean. The inclusive programme covers dining and a selection of local and international drinks, with beach and pool waiter service supporting leisurely days outdoors. Guests also have access to the neighbouring Princess Grand Jamaica, expanding the choice of restaurants and activities. Across the wider complex, dining ranges from Jamaican cooking and seafood to Italian, Mexican and Asian options, alongside more casual settings. Pools, fitness facilities and evening entertainment create scope for an active holiday, while the beachfront and private terraces offer quieter spaces. Platinum accommodation adds its own areas and services, including butler assistance, so the room category shapes the experience. Spa treatments and some other services carry separate charges. The resort is particularly suited to adults who want a choice of dining and leisure facilities while keeping a dedicated retreat to return to.

505. Indo Rasa

     Sydney, Australia

     Indo Rasa is a restaurant in Sydney, Australia.

506. Gaucho

     London, UK

     Gaucho is a restaurant in London, UK.

507. Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

     Ummahat Islands, Saudi Arabia

     Nujuma spreads across islands in Saudi Arabia's Ummahat archipelago, where sand, mangroves and the Red Sea determine the character of a stay. Its curved villas take inspiration from shells, bringing a soft geometry to the shoreline and lagoon. The resort's name refers to stars, a theme carried into experiences that encourage guests to look beyond the immediate island landscape. Beach and overwater villas pair generous living spaces with private pools facing the sea. Telescopes make the night sky part of the accommodation experience, while outdoor terraces offer a place for private meals or a quiet interval after swimming. The emphasis is on space and the ability to choose between sociable resort life and time within the villa. Neyrah Spa provides a further setting for slowing down, and the dive centre introduces the surrounding marine environment. The Conservation House adds context to local nature and heritage. Dining ranges from seafood at Tabrah to Levantine influences and French patisserie at Sita, with other venues providing lighter meals and drinks. Together, these elements give Nujuma a sense of place that extends from the reef and beach to the cultural traditions of the wider region.

508. Cobblers Cove

     Speightstown, Barbados

     Cobblers Cove occupies a seafront setting near Speightstown on Barbados's west coast, with a pink Great House providing the visual centre of the hotel. Built in the 1940s as a private home, the house is surrounded by gardens and a collection of 40 suites. The atmosphere is personal and residential, with verandas opening towards tropical planting or the sea. The interiors draw on local craft as well as the building's history. Bespoke furniture, textiles and decorative pieces are developed with Barbadian makers, giving the rooms an individual character. Suites provide space to spend time indoors and out, while the gardens create shaded routes and quiet places to sit between the accommodation and waterfront. The pool and beach keep the sea close to the daily routine. Food is another defining element, with the restaurant using local ingredients and an island inspired approach in its seafront setting. Meals can become a leisurely focus of the day, complemented by time on the water or exploring nearby Speightstown. Wellbeing treatments offer a slower alternative. Cobblers Cove is especially suited to travellers who value distinctive interiors, a manageable scale and the continuity of a family owned hotel with a longstanding relationship to Barbados.

509. Momo Paris

     Paris, France

     Momo Paris is a restaurant in Paris, France.

510. La Scala

     Bangkok, Thailand

     La Scala is the Italian restaurant at The Sukhothai Bangkok in Sathorn, Bangkok 10120, on South Sathorn Road. The operator’s current restaurant page identifies it as La Scala Restaurant and places it within The Sukhothai Bangkok, rather than as an independent venue. The hotel itself describes its setting as a luxury hotel in the heart of Bangkok, which helps situate the restaurant within a broader urban resort environment. The kitchen centres on Italian cooking, with the official page describing vibrant Italian cuisine, an à la carte menu and a set lunch, alongside a Sabato Italiano Saturday Lunch. The restaurant also notes a chef de cuisine and references a rotating trolley, freshly shucked oysters and handcrafted desserts for the Saturday lunch, while the hotel’s dining pages link La Scala to Italian favourites and attentive service. La Scala offers both indoor and terrace dining. The restaurant page describes a cosy interior with warm tones, an open kitchen and an intimate atmosphere, plus alfresco tables beside the swimming pool. The operator also specifies a smart-casual dress code and states that the restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner, with last-order times published on the venue page. Its location on the hotel grounds means guests are dining within a larger property that also offers spa, pool and fitness facilities, though those amenities belong to The Sukhothai Bangkok rather than to La Scala itself. For the restaurant proper, the verified experience is focused on formal yet relaxed Italian dining, with menus, wine and beverage lists, and reservation contact provided directly by the hotel operator.

511. Royal County Down Golf Club

     Newcastle, United Kingdom

     Royal County Down brings together links golf and a particularly expressive landscape at Newcastle, where the Mourne Mountains rise behind Dundrum Bay. Its Championship Links occupy ground beside the Murlough Nature Reserve, with dunes, heather and gorse giving each stretch of the course a different frame. The proximity of mountain and sea creates a strong sense of place from the first holes onwards. The layout asks players to read the land carefully. Undulating fairways, partially concealed landing areas and distinctive bunkers place a premium on choosing a line and committing to it. Changes in coastal wind add another layer to the decision-making. The Championship course's challenge is accompanied by the separate Annesley Links, which offers another encounter with this landscape on a different scale. Visitor access is managed through the club, with advance enquiries advisable for the Championship Links and current playing requirements published online. Newcastle provides a convenient base for the visit, with its promenade and mountain setting close by. Allowing time around the round makes the experience more than a single tee time, particularly for travellers exploring Northern Ireland's coast.

512. Japan Airlines

     Tokyo, Japan

     Japan Airlines connects an extensive domestic operation with international routes, making it a useful starting point for journeys that combine Japanese cities and regions. Its Tokyo gateways support both arrivals from overseas and onward travel within the country. The airline's identity is grounded in Japanese hospitality, with food, cabin materials and service details contributing to a recognisable sense of place. The long-haul fleet includes several cabin configurations. On selected Airbus A350-1000 services, enclosed First and Business Class suites provide private space, while Premium Economy and Economy have their own seating designs. Other aircraft offer different products, so travellers should consider the scheduled equipment as well as the class of travel. Cabin layouts can influence rest, storage and how easily companions sit together. Meal service on international routes combines Japanese and Western choices, with selected menus developed in collaboration with chefs. The airline also provides entertainment and airport lounges for eligible passengers, while its oneworld membership broadens the network of partners. Japan Airlines is distinctive for the way it links international travel with the detail of a Japanese domestic journey, allowing an itinerary to extend beyond the main gateways without losing that local connection.

513. Dubai World Trade Centre

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Dubai World Trade Centre forms an established exhibition district beside Sheikh Zayed Road. Its halls and pavilions support a dense programme of trade shows, public exhibitions and business events, with hotels and restaurants close to the campus. The setting gives visitors a direct connection to the city's commercial life, while the original Trade Centre tower remains a recognisable point of reference. Interconnected halls can be combined for large exhibitions or divided for more focused gatherings. Concourse areas, meeting rooms and organiser services support the activity on the show floor, from product demonstrations to technical displays and international pavilions. The surrounding event infrastructure is especially useful for exhibitions that need substantial installation work as well as a polished visitor experience. The World Trade Centre metro station provides a practical arrival point, though the correct entrance depends on the event and halls in use. Visitors can extend a working day into nearby dining districts or travel onwards through Dubai by rail or taxi. The Sheikh Zayed Road venue combines exhibition facilities, transport and hospitality within an established central business setting.

514. Royalton Negril - Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite

     Negril, Jamaica

     The Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite at Royalton Negril offers a substantial private base within a family friendly resort on Jamaica's western coast. Measuring approximately 114 square metres, it combines a separate bedroom with a living and dining area, making it possible to follow different routines while still sharing the same accommodation. Its balcony or terrace brings the coastal setting into the experience. A king bed, two sofa beds and two bathrooms make the layout particularly practical for guests travelling together. The resort offers ocean view and swim-out versions, with the latter providing access to a semi-private pool. These are distinct options rather than features shared by every suite. A separate Diamond Club category adds butler service and dedicated resort areas, while the standard Presidential accommodation retains the advantage of additional space. Outside, the beach and swimming pools set the rhythm of the day, supported by restaurants, fitness classes and non-motorised water sports. Supervised children's and teenagers' activities create opportunities for different members of a family to pursue their own interests. The suite works well for travellers who want the range of an all-inclusive resort alongside a more generous living arrangement, with somewhere to gather comfortably after a day outdoors.

515. The Restaurant at The Caves

     Jamaica

     The Restaurant at The Caves is the main dining room at The Caves in Negril, Jamaica, a cliffside property at 144 One Love Drive overlooking the sea caves and coastline. The official restaurant pages identify Bamboo Terrace as the principal dining space, placing it within an adults-only hotel setting rather than as a standalone venue. Its role is central to the property’s food service, with the restaurant presented as part of the wider guest experience. Bamboo Terrace is fitted with bamboo furnishings, daybeds and louvered windows that open the room to the surrounding views. The kitchen focuses on wholesome home cooking made with fresh local produce, including Jamaican jerk barbecue and other daily dishes. A 24-hour bar supports the dining room with drinks and homemade treats, giving the venue a relaxed rhythm through the day and into the night. Breakfast is served separately at The Gazebo, an alfresco thatched-roof pavilion on the property. The menu includes banana pancakes, made-to-order omelettes and Jamaican staples such as callaloo with Scotch bonnet pepper, ackee and saltfish, fried dumplings and bammy. Orange and watermelon juice, together with smoothies, add to the informal morning offering and reinforce the restaurant programme’s local character. For a more intimate experience, The Caves also offers private cave dining for two in Moonbeam and Seastar. These candlelit meals are described as five courses served in a cave by the sea, linking the restaurant offer to the property’s natural rock formations and water-facing setting. Together, the main dining room, breakfast pavilion and private cave tables create a compact but distinctive food experience rooted in place.

516. Shams El Balad

     Amman, Jordan

     Shams El Balad is a restaurant in Amman, Jordan.

517. Song Que Café

     London, UK

     Sông Quê Café is a Vietnamese restaurant at 134 Kingsland Road in London’s E2 8DY district, trading from a site in the city’s east end and presenting itself as serving authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The restaurant’s own booking page confirms the address and contact details, and indicates that it operates daily with separate lunch and dinner service on weekdays and extended opening at weekends. The food offering is built around Vietnamese staples and house specialities rather than a broad pan-Asian list. The restaurant highlights pho prepared with beef broth simmered for hours and finished with rice noodles, herbs, bean sprouts and chilli, alongside hot and spicy beef and pork noodle soup, crispy pancake with prawn and chicken, summer rolls and spring rolls. The same source also lists dishes such as grilled beef wrapped in betel leaf, stewed fish pot, grilled pork chops and prawn paste on sugar cane. The café’s online material gives a clear sense of a kitchen rooted in family practice and recipe-led cooking. It says Mrs Pham hand-picks and trains the chefs, keeps watch over stock through the day, and that the broth for pho is made with seven herbs and spices. That emphasis suggests a straightforward, specialist dining room where the appeal lies in well-known regional dishes and careful preparation rather than elaborate presentation or fusion flourishes. Taken together, the evidence points to a long-established neighbourhood restaurant focused on bowls of noodle soup, rice-noodle plates, seafood and grilled meat dishes, with Vietnamese cold coffee and familiar starters to round out the meal. The offer appears centred on dine-in meals for lunch and evening service, with the restaurant’s own language stressing shared eating, heritage and a direct approach to flavour.

518. Imperial Treasure

     Singapore

     Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine is the Imperial Treasure branch identified here in Singapore, located at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, #02-04, 8 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018955. The official outlet page presents this specific restaurant within the wider Imperial Treasure collection of Chinese restaurants. Reservation options are available by outlet, and this branch is listed as a distinct destination inside the Marina Bay Sands shopping and dining complex rather than simply as a general brand presence elsewhere in the city-state. The restaurant’s published menus show a broad range of Chinese dining formats within one outlet. Alongside an à la carte selection, the branch lists dim sum, vegetarian dishes and chef’s recommendation set menus. That combination indicates a menu built for different styles of dining, from smaller selections to more extensive meals shared across the table. Rather than pointing to a single regional speciality only, the available menu categories suggest a restaurant that accommodates varied preferences and occasions within a more comprehensive Chinese dining offer. Details on the official branch page also give a clearer sense of the restaurant’s physical scale. Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine lists 194 seats, 20 tables and eight private rooms, as well as a wine cellar. These features indicate a sizeable restaurant with both main dining areas and separate rooms for more contained gatherings. The presence of private rooms and a wine cellar adds to the sense of a venue designed for longer, more structured meals, whether for family groups, business dining or other social occasions. Within Singapore, Imperial Treasure operates several named outlets, but the branch supported by the supplied facts is this Fine Chinese Cuisine restaurant at Marina Bay Sands. What can be stated confidently is that it combines a central commercial location with a multi-part menu and substantial dining capacity. The restaurant is therefore defined less by a single dish than by its range: dim sum, vegetarian options, set menus and à la carte choices, supported by private rooms and a dedicated wine cellar in one location.

519. Mauritius

     Mauritius, Mauritius

     Mauritius combines reef-fringed lagoons with a mountainous interior, tea-growing country and towns shaped by several cultural traditions. The island lies in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, and its relatively compact geography allows a coastal stay to include inland journeys. Soft sand and clear water provide the familiar introduction, but forests, waterfalls and agricultural landscapes broaden the experience considerably. Black River Gorges National Park offers walking routes through wooded valleys and hills, with opportunities to learn about native plants and birds. On the south-west coast, Le Morne’s mountain forms a distinctive backdrop to the beach and carries an important cultural history. Port Louis adds a more urban perspective, with markets and street food providing a different way to encounter everyday Mauritian life. The island’s food reflects influences from India, China, Africa and Europe, from biryanis and noodles to pastries and Creole cooking. Accommodation ranges from independent places to stay to established beachfront resorts, many with access to lagoon activities. Combining time on the coast with a few carefully chosen excursions gives a fuller sense of Mauritius, whose character emerges through its communities and interior as much as through the shoreline.

520. Pickl

     Dubai, UAE

     Pickl is a burger restaurant brand operating multiple branches across Dubai, including City Walk, JBR, Motor City, Al Safa, Muhaisnah, Mirdif and JLT. The official UAE site presents these as current Dubai locations, while the City Walk page identifies a branch at Building 9 in City Walk. In practical terms, that places Pickl within everyday neighbourhood and mall settings rather than a single destination venue, with a format built around casual meals and convenient ordering across the city. The food offer is tightly focused on burgers, chicken and sides. Official menu pages show smashed cheeseburgers, plant-based burgers, chicken sandos, fried chicken tenders, fries and sauces, giving the menu a clearly fast-casual structure. There is also a children’s selection under the Little Pickl name, with smaller combinations and simple drink options such as water, chocolate milk and apple juice. The range suggests a straightforward, compact menu designed around familiar comfort food rather than a broad all-day restaurant list. Pickl describes its approach with the phrase “Fresh. Fast. Food.”, and its about page adds detail on how that is expressed. Sauces, spice blends and pickles are stated to be prepared fresh daily under one roof, pointing to an operation that keeps core flavour components central to the brand. The same page says its beef and chicken contain no hormones, preservatives or additives. Together, those points indicate a business centred on a consistent house style and a deliberately limited, burger-led identity. Service is not confined to eating in. Pickl’s official order page directs customers to delivery platforms including Deliveroo and Talabat, showing that off-site ordering forms part of how the restaurant is used. Combined with its spread of Dubai addresses, this gives the brand the feel of a modern urban burger operation shaped for quick lunches, relaxed dinners and takeaway habits. Its character is contemporary and direct, with burgers, sandos, chicken and sides forming the core experience across the Dubai branches.

521. Nas Daily (Nuseir Yassin)

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Nuseir Yassin created Nas Daily around the discipline of making a video every day while travelling. The original thousand-day project established a concise form of storytelling, with a presenter, a clearly framed subject and a fast-moving visual explanation. People, places and unexpected ideas became the material for films intended to make an unfamiliar subject immediately accessible. Nas Daily has since developed into a wider professional operation. Its current studio work covers areas including tourism, education, technology and sustainability, producing videos and social content for organisations as well as its own audience. The presentation often uses a specific person, invention or local detail as the starting point, then broadens the story to explain why it matters to the people involved. Yassin is also the founder of Nas Company, whose activities include creator education, community platforms and events. The business has established professional operations in Dubai and Singapore, reflecting the international scope of the work. For viewers interested in travel through short visual stories, Nas Daily offers a people-centred approach that sits alongside its commercial production work and wider projects supporting digital creators.

522. Lanserhof Tegernsee

     Germany

     Lanserhof Tegernsee is a medical health resort above Lake Tegernsee in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps. Its approach combines accommodation with individually planned programmes, medical consultations and structured activities. The clinical team includes specialists in general, internal, nutritional and rehabilitative medicine. Christoph Ingenhoven’s architecture uses natural materials, clear lines and generous daylight, with rooms and suites opening towards the surrounding landscape. Double rooms include balcony or terrace space, while the separate Pavilion Suite adds a private gym and larger living areas. Programmes address areas such as nutrition, movement, sleep and wellbeing, with the stay arranged around each guest’s selected focus.

523. Café Central

     Vienna, Austria

     Café Central is a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.

524. Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Infinity Pool

     Al Jabal Al Akhdar, Oman

     The main infinity pool at Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar faces a canyon in Oman's Hajar Mountains, placing the water against a broad landscape of rock terraces and distant ridges. The resort's high-altitude setting gives the experience a different character from the country's coastal pools. Stone-coloured architecture and planted courtyards keep the surrounding hotel visually connected to the mountain terrain. At the pool edge, the foreground appears to fall away towards the canyon, drawing attention to changes in light across the slopes. Lounging here can be as rewarding as swimming, particularly when shadows begin to define the folds of the landscape. The main pool is separate from the private pools attached to selected villas, whose views and level of seclusion depend on the accommodation chosen. Rooms and villas provide a base for a longer mountain stay, with dining, a spa and guided activities offering variety beyond the water. Nearby villages and walking routes reveal the agricultural and cultural life of the plateau. The pool's distinction comes from this close relationship with the canyon, making a quiet afternoon on the terrace part of experiencing the destination itself.

525. Sushi Noz

     New York, USA

     Sushi Noz is a Japanese sushi restaurant on East 78th Street in New York’s Upper East Side, at 181 E. 78th St., between Lexington and Third Avenue. The restaurant is the namesake project of Chef Nozomu Abe, whose background includes apprenticeship in Sapporo, further training in Tokyo, and a move to New York in 2007 before opening Sushi Noz. The house presents itself as an intimate dining room shaped by Japanese design traditions rather than a broad, all-purpose restaurant format. Its cooking is built around an Edomae-style tasting menu. According to the restaurant, this begins with several otsumami, followed by a longer sequence of seasonal nigiri, then miso soup, tamago and dessert. Michelin also describes the food as a refined Japanese-sushi experience with carefully handled fish and an emphasis on balance, while noting dishes that may include elements such as king crab, oyster and eel preparations. That combination suggests a highly structured omakase format led by seasonal produce and seafood. The setting is notably compact and purposefully detailed. Sushi Noz says the dining room is conceived like an ancient Kyoto temple, with sukiya-style architecture, varied cedar woods, and a 200-year-old hinoki sushi bar at the centre. Michelin notes an eight-seat sushi bar made from old hinoki wood and an authentic icebox chest used for fish storage, while the restaurant adds that guests may sit either at the 8-seat Hinoki Counter or the 6-seat Ash Room, the latter built with rare tamo ash wood. Service is arranged as a series of limited seatings rather than open dining. The restaurant says Chef Noz serves at the Hinoki Counter on weekdays, while the Ash Room is presented by the sous chef; it also offers private dining in both rooms and some private catering. Michelin identifies air conditioning and a notable sake list, and the restaurant states that beverage pairings may include sake, champagne and white wine, reinforcing a formal, reservation-led experience with an emphasis on precision and pace.

526. Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort

     Tourrettes, France

     Terre Blanche spreads across wooded hills near Tourrettes in the Pays de Fayence, with views towards the surrounding Provençal villages. Its accommodation is arranged as suites and villas rather than a single conventional hotel block, creating a sense of space within the grounds. Terraces and the surrounding planting keep the landscape close, whether the day centres on golf, swimming or a quieter stay. The resort has two eighteen-hole courses. Le Château combines substantial water hazards with a championship layout, while Le Riou places greater emphasis on sloping fairways and carefully shaped greens. Access to Le Riou is reserved for club members, their guests and hotel residents. A dedicated academy and extensive training facilities make the property useful for golfers seeking instruction as well as rounds. The spa occupies a separate Provençal-style building with pools, heat facilities, treatments and fitness activities. Restaurants offer a range of settings, and a children's club supports family stays. The inland position also encourages exploration of hill villages and nearby countryside, giving the resort an identity connected to Provence as much as to its golf courses.

527. Finca Cortesin Golf Resort

     Malaga, Spain

     Finca Cortesin Golf Resort is an elegant golf resort that is set on a 215-hectare estate in Spain. The resort has an 18-hole championship golf course that is ranked among the best in Europe. The resort also has a hotel, a spa, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a beach club, and four restaurants.

528. Royal Portrush Golf Club

     Portrush, United Kingdom

     Royal Portrush occupies rolling coastal ground on Northern Ireland's Causeway Coast, with dunes and sea views shaping its atmosphere. The Dunluce Links takes its name from the nearby ruined castle and forms the club's principal championship course. Beyond its association with The Open, the appeal lies in an exposed landscape where changes in elevation and weather influence almost every decision. Fairways pass through substantial sandhills, with greens and hazards demanding careful placement. Views reach towards offshore islands and the wider northern coastline, but the course continually returns attention to the next shot. Its mixture of uphill approaches, sheltered hollows and open ground provides variety within a coherent links setting. The Valley course offers a further opportunity to explore the club's coastal terrain. Visitors can arrange play through the club's booking system, subject to availability and the published playing requirements. Practice facilities and clubhouse dining help make the visit a full golfing day. Portrush offers accommodation and seaside walks nearby, while the Causeway Coast provides scope for a longer itinerary combining golf with beaches, harbour towns and the region's geological landmarks.

530. Bukhara

     India

     Bukhara at ITC Maurya in New Delhi centres on the cooking of the North West Frontier, with the tandoor at the heart of its menu. Established in 1978, it has kept the same broad culinary direction: grilled meats, chargrilled vegetables and breads, rather than a wide survey of Indian cuisines. Dal Bukhara, Sikandari Raan and the large Naan Bukhara are defining dishes. Stone walls, traditional carpets, rough wooden tables and stools give the dining room a deliberately rustic character. Earthenware crockery and menus presented on wooden blocks continue that approach, while the aprons offered to diners encourage eating with the hands.

531. Lake Louise

     Alberta

     Lake Louise offers stunning Rockies scenery, varied terrain, and world-class skiing in Banff National Park.

532. Atlantis The Royal

     United Arab Emirates

     Atlantis, The Royal, stands as an awe-inspiring testament to luxury and innovation, gracing the iconic Palm Jumeirah in Dubai with its contemporary grandeur. As a dazzling addition to the Atlantis resort collection, this architectural marvel redefines opulence in the heart of the UAE. The meticulously appointed rooms and suites are sanctuaries of comfort, offering guests a perfect blend of modern sophistication and indulgent relaxation, all while providing magnificent views of the sparkling Arabian Sea or the breathtaking Palm Jumeirah. Culinary experiences at Atlantis, The Royal are nothing short of extraordinary, with a diverse array of world-class restaurants, including the iconic Hell's Kitchen by renowned chef Gordon Ramsay, where gastronomic excellence takes center stage. The resort itself is a world of wonders, featuring a pristine private beach, a mesmerizing underwater aquarium, and the world's largest rooftop infinity pool. Whether you seek serene relaxation, thrilling adventures, or indulgent pampering, Atlantis, The Royal offers a realm of endless possibilities to make every moment unforgettable in the vibrant heart of Dubai's stunning Palm Jumeirah.

533. Raffles Doha

     Doha

     Raffles Doha occupies Katara Towers in Lusail Marina, whose curved form takes inspiration from Qatar's crossed swords. The hotel is entirely composed of suites, with separate living spaces and views towards the city, crescent or Arabian Gulf. Carved ceilings, rich textiles and detailed wall treatments give the accommodation a strong decorative character. Selected suites open onto terraces, while spa-style bathrooms add another private retreat within the room. Dining includes Italian-inspired Alba, the book-lined Blue Cigar Writer's Lounge, Malaki Lounge and the Acoustic Penthouse for live music and skyline views. The spa offers individual treatments and private suites with facilities such as hammams, saunas and pools. Raffles' butler service ties these elements together, making the suite and hotel's shared spaces substantial parts of a stay in Lusail.

534. Le Normandie by Alain Roux

     Thailand

     Le Normandie has entered a new chapter as Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie. Within Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, the restaurant continues its long connection with French gastronomy while introducing Pic’s approach to aroma, flavour and the relationship between food and drinks. The dining room overlooks the Chao Phraya River, with a redesign by Humbert & Poyet giving the setting a fresh identity. Pic’s menus draw on French foundations while engaging with Thai ingredients and cultural influences. The restaurant first opened in 1958 as Le Normandie Grill, later developing into a landmark fine-dining address. That history gives the current collaboration an unusual depth: an established Bangkok institution interpreted through a different chef’s sensibility. For diners familiar with its previous Alain Roux association, the change is significant. The current experience is led by Anne-Sophie Pic, making a return visit an opportunity to encounter a new culinary direction in one of the city’s historic riverfront dining rooms.

536. Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

     Wan Chai, Hong Kong

     Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre occupies a prominent position on the Wan Chai waterfront, where its sweeping roof faces Victoria Harbour. The building brings large exhibitions and conferences into a dense urban district, with hotels, restaurants and public transport close at hand. Harbour views give breaks between sessions a distinctly Hong Kong character, even when the visit is centred on business. The complex combines exhibition halls with meeting rooms, theatres and spaces for banquets or receptions. This allows a major trade fair to incorporate presentations and smaller appointments within the same venue. The halls accommodate a changing mix of commercial and public exhibitions, while circulation areas and visitor services support movement between different parts of the programme. Exhibition Centre MTR station and the nearby Wan Chai ferry connections offer useful ways to reach the district. Visitors should check the entrance indicated by their event, especially when several gatherings overlap. Beyond the venue, Wan Chai provides an immediate contrast of neighbourhood streets and modern waterfront development. The centre is distinctive for placing large-scale international events beside the harbour while keeping the everyday life of the city within easy reach.

539. Palais des Festivals et des Congrès

     Cannes, France

     The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès stands at the meeting point of Cannes' harbour and the Croisette, placing major events directly beside the Mediterranean. Although its red-carpet steps are closely associated with the film festival, the building hosts a much wider calendar of congresses, exhibitions, performances and professional gatherings. Its waterfront location gives delegates and audiences an immediate connection with the town. Inside, auditoria, exhibition floors and meeting spaces support events of different sizes and formats. The Louis Lumière auditorium provides a substantial focal point, while smaller rooms allow screenings, presentations and discussions to run alongside larger programmes. Terraces and glazed spaces introduce sea views and daylight, offering a change of atmosphere for receptions and informal meetings. Cannes' compact centre makes the venue practical for visitors staying nearby. Hotels, restaurants, shops and the old harbour can be reached on foot, allowing the formal event schedule to sit within a wider town experience. The Palais is particularly distinctive when its indoor facilities and outdoor setting are used together, with professional sessions balanced by conversations on a terrace or a walk along the waterfront after the programme has finished.

540. Tầm Vị

     Hanoi, Vietnam

     Tầm Vị is a Vietnamese restaurant at 4B Yên Thế Street in Ba Đình Ward, Hanoi. It appears in the MICHELIN Guide as a Vietnamese restaurant in the city, and Tripadvisor also places it at the same address, confirming the specific branch rather than a general chain listing. The restaurant’s own name and presentation are tied to traditional northern Vietnamese cooking and a house-like dining setting. MICHELIN describes Tầm Vị as a vintage tea house with a two-storey expansion and a lush courtyard, which suggests a more spacious layout while retaining a traditional feel. The guide notes antique decor, artwork and rustic elegance, together with English-speaking staff and a photo menu, indicating a dining room aimed at both local and visiting guests. Tripadvisor likewise records reservations, seating and table service. The food is centred on Vietnamese dishes, with MICHELIN highlighting items such as chả ốc, served with herbs, vegetables, vermicelli and fish sauce, and a crab soup with malabar spinach in clear broth. Tripadvisor classifies the cuisine as Asian and Vietnamese, and notes lunch and dinner service, as well as vegan options. The emphasis is on home-style cooking rather than contemporary experimentation. Facilities and service details currently visible in public listings include air conditioning and acceptance of credit cards on MICHELIN, while Tripadvisor shows that the restaurant takes bookings and serves alcohol. Taken together, the evidence points to a formal yet characterful restaurant that blends traditional northern ambience with a practical level of service, making it suited to diners looking for Vietnamese dishes in a setting that feels deliberately rooted in older Hanoi domestic style.

541. Wakuda

     Singapore

     Wakuda is a restaurant in Singapore.

542. Palau

     Palau Islands, Palau

     Palau combines a striking island landscape with a varied underwater environment in the western Pacific. The sheltered waters and forested limestone forms of the Rock Islands contrast with outer reefs, channels and deeper blue water, giving divers several different settings within one destination. Boat journeys between sites are part of the experience, revealing lagoons and small islands above the surface. Sites such as Blue Corner are associated with currents and concentrations of marine life, while wrecks provide another strand of exploration. Reef fish, sharks and rays may feature in a programme, alongside smaller details among coral and rock. The range of diving means that the itinerary can be shaped around particular interests, although local conditions and individual experience remain important in selecting sites. Koror provides a practical base for many visitors, with specialist operators arranging day trips and longer programmes. Time away from diving can include island excursions, cultural visits or quieter exploration by boat. Palau suits travellers who want variety across several days on the water, combining marine encounters with a distinctive landscape. A thoughtful programme leaves room for changing conditions and for appreciating the destination beyond a checklist of celebrated dive sites.

Itineraries cover regions including the Mediterranean, Caribbean and northern Europe, with opportunities to extend a journey across successive sailings.

Private terraces provide room to sit outside, while the larger categories add more substantial living areas and outdoor space. Dining moves between different cuisines and levels of formality, allowing the daily routine to change without leaving the ship. The interiors favour considered materials, comfortable seating and public rooms that encourage lingering rather than constant movement between activities. The Ocean Wellness programme brings together spa, fitness and outdoor experiences, while enrichment and entertainment add structure to sea days. Destination experiences and pre- or post-journey arrangements provide ways to explore beyond the ports. Explora Journeys suits travellers seeking an unhurried onboard rhythm alongside a changing itinerary, particularly those who value a private outdoor space and the ability to alternate a day ashore with quieter time overlooking the sea.

546. Vancouver Convention Centre

     Vancouver, Canada

     Vancouver Convention Centre extends along the downtown waterfront, with views across Burrard Inlet towards the North Shore mountains. Its East and West buildings give conferences a distinctive maritime setting, where harbour activity, public promenades and the city skyline remain visible between sessions. The location places delegates close to hotels, restaurants and the transport connections around Waterfront station. The West Building pairs broad glass façades with a planted roof and extensive interior gathering spaces, while the East Building forms part of the Canada Place complex beneath its recognisable white sails. Exhibition halls, ballrooms and meeting rooms support a range of event sizes. Foyers and terraces are particularly useful for receptions and breaks, introducing daylight and harbour views into programmes that might otherwise remain indoors. On-site catering and event services support conferences, trade exhibitions and social functions. The surrounding seawall and nearby downtown streets offer straightforward options for a walk, coffee or evening meal after a full day of meetings. For visitors, the venue's appeal is as much about this relationship with the city as its scale, allowing a business trip to retain a clear connection with Vancouver's waterfront landscape.

548. MGM COTAI

     Cotai, Macao

     MGM COTAI presents casino hospitality through a strong architectural and artistic lens. Its stacked exterior resembles a collection of oversized boxes, while the public spaces combine contemporary artworks, decorative objects and large digital installations. At the centre is the Spectacle, a vast glass-roofed atrium where screens, greenery and changing light create an unusually theatrical route between the hotels, restaurants and shops. Accommodation is arranged in distinct towers, with rooms and suites designed around generous windows, contemporary furnishings and views across Cotai. M Tower has a restrained modern character, while Emerald Tower introduces marble, rosewood detailing and imperial carpets into its public interiors. These differences make the choice of accommodation part of the resort experience rather than simply a matter of room size. The casino sits within a much broader programme of dining, entertainment and leisure. Restaurants cover Chinese and international cooking, while the theatre provides a setting for substantial productions. Art tours offer a way to understand works that might otherwise be passed on the way to dinner. Pools, spa facilities and quieter lounges provide space between events, giving a stay here a rhythm that extends well beyond the gaming tables.

549. Atlantis Paradise Island

     Paradise Island, Bahamas

     Atlantis Paradise Island is a collection of hotels and resort facilities spread along the coast of Paradise Island, close to Nassau. Its architecture, lagoons and marine environments create a strongly themed setting, with The Royal’s linked towers forming a familiar landmark. The property offers several different accommodation experiences within one extensive resort. The Royal, The Coral, The Cove and other accommodation options vary in atmosphere, layout and proximity to particular facilities. This makes the choice of hotel an important part of planning a stay. Beaches, pools and the Aquaventure waterpark provide an extensive daytime programme, while the marina adds a place to walk, dine and watch activity on the waterfront. The casino brings together slot machines and table games, with restaurants and bars spread through the wider complex. Dining covers casual meals and more formal evenings, allowing the character of a day to change without leaving the resort. Atlantis suits travellers who enjoy having numerous activities close at hand, particularly when a group wants different ways to spend its time. Its scale rewards choosing accommodation carefully around the facilities most likely to be used.

550. Kjolle

     Peru

     Pía León's Kjolle explores Peru's biological and cultural diversity from Avenida Pedro de Osma in Barranco. Research by Mater informs nine-course tasting menus that bring ingredients from different ecosystems together on the plate. A vegetal version offers a separate route through that same territory. Courses include corn with jora, cabuya and sacha oregano; scallops with Madre de Dios nuts and sea urchin; and a preparation of several Andean and Amazonian tubers. Lobster, octopus and beef appear in the wider menu, while cacao, copoazú and macambo form a Theobromas finale. Pairings use nectars and extracts or drinks developed through Mater's liquid research.

551. Sandals Grande St. Lucian

     Gros Islet, Saint Lucia

     Sandals Grande St. Lucian occupies a peninsula beside Rodney Bay, with Pigeon Island close by and water shaping much of the outlook. Designed as an adults-only resort for couples, it offers a wedding setting that can continue directly into a honeymoon or a shared holiday with adult guests. The beach and bay provide a strong sense of place throughout the stay. The Overwater Wedding Serenity Chapel is a distinctive ceremony venue, with open sides and a glass-panel aisle that brings the water into view. Its pale structure allows flowers and other details to remain relatively simple while the surrounding landscape sets the mood. The wedding planning team helps coordinate ceremony arrangements, menus, drinks and the format of the reception, including smaller and more informal celebrations. Accommodation, restaurants, pools and activities are gathered within the resort, reducing the need to move between separate locations during a wedding stay. Guests can spend time together at the beach or explore the island through excursions. The setting suits couples seeking an organised resort experience with a recognisable ceremony space and time to enjoy Saint Lucia beyond the wedding day.

552. Onjium

     South Korea

     Across from the stone wall of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Onjium connects Korean culinary history with a contemporary Seoul dining room. The setting combines traditional aesthetics with restrained modern architecture, making the palace-side address more than a backdrop. Court-cuisine specialist Cho Eun-hee and Park Sung-bae guide the kitchen. Their work draws on years of research, seasonal ingredients and modern techniques to reinterpret traditional Korean flavours. Counter seating gives diners a view of the kitchen’s work, while beverage pairings add another layer to the meal. Onjium is particularly relevant for visitors interested in the relationship between Korean food, craft and history. A meal here can sit naturally alongside time spent exploring the palace district, with the restaurant extending that cultural interest to the table.

553. Kadeau Copenhagen

     Denmark

     Kadeau Copenhagen brings the produce and food traditions of Bornholm to its Wildersgade dining room. The restaurant organises the year around two complementary ideas: the abundance of the growing season and the possibilities of preservation. During the warmer months, herbs and vegetables from its own island garden sit alongside ingredients gathered in the wild, Nordic seafood and meat. The preservation season then explores ways of carrying those flavours through the colder part of the year, using traditional and contemporary techniques. This approach gives the menu a close connection with both place and time. Dinner is the main focus, with a Saturday lunch offering another way to experience the kitchen’s interpretation of the island.

554. Four Seasons Resort Nevis Villas & Residences

     Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis

     The villas and residences at Four Seasons Resort Nevis spread through a coastal estate beneath Nevis Peak. Their settings vary from homes near Pinney’s Beach to hillside properties with broader views, making location within the resort an important part of the choice. Gardens and the golf course create space around the houses, while the main resort provides a shared centre for dining and activities. Accommodation ranges in size and layout, with multiple bedrooms, living and dining areas, and kitchens supporting a more independent daily routine. Many homes have private pools and terraces for meals or time outdoors. Larger estates can accommodate several generations, while smaller residences give families room to spread out beyond the arrangement of a conventional hotel bedroom. Guests have access to the resort’s beach, swimming pools, restaurants, spa and sports facilities. Private dining and other services can be arranged around the chosen home, bringing hotel support into a residential setting. This is a particularly useful option for a longer Nevis stay, when some days may revolve around exploring the island and others around the pool, a shared meal or an easy walk to the sea.

555. Kenwood Travel

     London, United Kingdom

     Kenwood Travel is a London holiday company with a broad Caribbean collection and a public office near Moorgate. Its programme combines flights and accommodation across islands including Antigua, Barbados and Saint Lucia, alongside a wider range of long-haul destinations. Travellers can begin with a particular hotel or use the team’s advice to narrow down a region and style of stay. The Caribbean offering covers family resorts, adults-only retreats, all-inclusive hotels and properties suited to honeymoons. Weddings, cruises and multi-centre holidays extend the scope beyond a single beach stay. Resort facilities, room layouts and dining arrangements can be considered alongside flight routes, making it easier to judge how an attractive property will work for the people travelling. Online information provides an initial overview, while telephone consultations allow an itinerary to be adapted. The company’s range is useful where a Caribbean holiday is part of a longer journey, or where several possible destinations need comparison. Its role is to bring accommodation and transport choices together, with the final arrangements shaped around the traveller’s interests and practical requirements.

556. Bonito

     Saint Barthélemy

     Bonito is a restaurant in Gustavia, Saint-Barthélemy, on Rue Lubin Brin. Its official site presents it as Bonito Saint Barth and says it has been operating since 2009. The house style is positioned as upscale yet welcoming, with a beach-house feel rather than a formal fine-dining manner. That combination places the emphasis on a polished evening meal shaped by design, atmosphere and service, while remaining clearly focused on the identity of an independent destination restaurant in the island’s main town. The cooking is described by the restaurant as French Pan-American. Official menu pages highlight fish, meats cooked over charcoal, desserts, an open kitchen and an exclusive ceviche bar. Together, those elements suggest a menu with both classical and Latin-inflected references, presented in a setting where preparation forms part of the visual experience. Cocktails are also part of the offer, so the meal is not limited to the kitchen alone but extends into a broader dinner format centred on food and drinks served in a sociable room. Bonito identifies Laurent Cantineaux as Chef Owner and Patricio Basombrio Cedano as Executive Chef. The team presentation also refers to personalised service and mixologists, indicating a restaurant where front-of-house and bar service are treated as important parts of the overall experience. Music is described by the restaurant as essential to the atmosphere, and DJ Alex Moretti is named on the music page. Valet parking is also listed, reinforcing the sense of an organised evening operation with attention paid to arrival as well as the meal itself. Beyond regular dining, Bonito offers private dining and event hosting for larger groups. The restaurant specifically invites enquiries for cocktail soirées, business dinners, weddings and birthdays, showing that the space is used for both social and corporate occasions. Taken together, the official details portray a Gustavia restaurant built around a chef-led kitchen, a visible culinary set-up, cocktails, music and carefully managed service. Its character is defined less by formality than by a composed, lively dinner atmosphere with several parts working in tandem.

557. Amanyara

     Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

     Amanyara sits on Providenciales’ quieter north-west coast, where coastal vegetation meets the waters of Northwest Point Marine Reserve. Reflecting ponds, timber pavilions and a broad sweep of white sand create a setting that feels removed from the island’s busier resort districts. The architecture uses deep eaves and open views to bring shade and landscape into daily life. Guest pavilions are positioned beside ponds, along the coast or within the greenery. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto terraces, and selected categories include private pools or direct paths towards the beach. Larger villas arrange separate bedroom pavilions around shared living areas and pools, providing a different scale of accommodation for families and groups. The main pool, restaurants and bar overlook the coast, while the spa occupies its own tranquil setting. Tennis, fitness facilities and organised wellness sessions add options beyond the beach. Snorkelling and non-motorised watersports connect guests with the surrounding marine environment. Amanyara’s character comes from the interplay of generous private space, restrained design and a coastline that remains the focus of the stay.

558. STUSH in the Bush

     Free Hill, St. Ann (near Ocho Rios), Jamaica

     STUSH in the Bush is a unique dining concept that fuses luxury with sustainability, set within a working organic farm in the hills of St. Ann. More than a restaurant, it is an immersive journey into farm-to-table gastronomy, guided by founders Lisa and Chris Binns. The name itself reflects its philosophy: “stush” for elegance and sophistication, “bush” for its rustic, natural roots. Guests are welcomed to the farm and then led through a multi-course tasting menu crafted entirely from organic produce grown on site. Expect vibrant vegetarian dishes, handmade breads, artisanal condiments, and inventive takes on Caribbean flavors. The experience is intimate, with seating limited to small groups, ensuring personal interaction with the chefs and hosts. While it eschews white tablecloth formality, STUSH embodies luxury through authenticity, sustainability, and thoughtful storytelling. Recognized internationally, including by the World Culinary Awards, it has become a pilgrimage site for food lovers seeking connection to land, flavor, and community.

559. Royalton Saint Lucia - Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite

     Cap Estate, Saint Lucia

     The Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite at Royalton Saint Lucia places separate living space and an ocean outlook at the centre of a stay. Set within the all-inclusive resort at Cap Estate, the accommodation measures approximately 114 square metres and has a private bedroom alongside a generous seating area. The layout gives guests somewhere to share meals and conversation without turning the sleeping area into a living room. A dining table and wet bar make the shared space especially useful for families or couples who enjoy an occasional meal in. The sofa converts into an additional bed, and the bathroom includes a Jacuzzi tub. The standard Presidential category is advertised with an ocean view. Diamond Club versions offer additional privileges, including butler service and access to a dedicated pool, and should be considered as a separate booking choice. The resort occupies a coastal setting in northern Saint Lucia, within reach of Rodney Bay's restaurants and shops. On site, swimming pools, a beach, water sports and a children's splash area provide plenty of activity, while the spa offers a quieter alternative. A range of restaurants supports the all-inclusive arrangement. The suite's particular strength is its spacious interior, allowing an active resort holiday to include comfortable, unhurried time in private.

Selected suites add a roof terrace, giving outdoor living a particularly prominent role. Food and wine are central to the hotel's character. The Cliff at Cap combines Caribbean and French influences in a setting above the water, while The Naked Fisherman serves a more relaxed beach grill menu at Smuggler's Cove below. A wine cellar supports tastings and private meals. Rock Maison, a dining platform near the sea, adds a distinctive detail: drinks can arrive by a dedicated champagne zip line. The beach provides a natural focus for the day, with pools and Spa Maison offering alternatives within the grounds. Larger villas suit guests who want extra independence and shared living space, while the smaller rooms make a comfortable base for couples. Choosing accommodation by its outdoor facilities and outlook is worthwhile.

Beach villas place guests close to the sand, while selected overwater categories add a slide into the sea. The RESERVE Plan brings dining, drinks and a selection of experiences into the stay, allowing the island to function as a largely self contained retreat. Restaurants take several culinary directions, including Indian thali dining at Saffron and Middle Eastern flavours at Sangu Beach. Different settings make it possible to move from a relaxed lunch near the water to a more intimate evening meal without leaving the resort. Snorkelling on natural reefs and time at ELE | NA Spa provide contrasting ways to experience the island. Larger villas and multi bedroom reserves create options for families or friends, while smaller layouts suit couples seeking privacy. Particular treatments and experiences follow the chosen plan and stay arrangements. The appeal lies in the combination of generous personal space and a broad resort programme, with the lagoon remaining the backdrop throughout.

On long haul services, bedding includes a sleeping pad, quilt and pillow, and amenity kits provide practical items for the journey.

571. Anse Source d'Argent

     La Digue, Seychelles

     Anse Source d'Argent follows the western side of La Digue, where sculpted granite boulders divide the shore into intimate pockets of pale sand. Clear, shallow water gathers between the rocks and an offshore reef, while palms and coastal vegetation soften the edge of the beach. The scale is unusually varied, moving from broad views of the lagoon to small spaces framed by stone. The usual approach passes through L'Union Estate, adding a sense of the island's plantation history before the path opens onto the sea. Visitors can combine time on the beach with a walk around the estate, where traditional buildings, vegetation and giant tortoises provide a different perspective on La Digue. Bicycles are a practical part of island life and an appealing way to reach the area. Tides strongly influence the experience, with very shallow water at low tide and more room for swimming as it rises. Walking, photography and guided clear-kayak excursions offer alternatives to simply settling on the sand. The beach is especially rewarding when visited without haste, allowing time to notice the changing shadows and warm colours across its granite formations.

Designed with Philippe Starck, the beach restaurant combines natural wood, woven textures and an informal arrangement of furniture. The result feels closely connected to a long Riviera lunch, with the Mediterranean visible beyond the tables and sun loungers. The menu focuses on generous Mediterranean cooking. Grilled fish, selected meats and local vegetables provide the main substance, while smaller dishes encourage sharing and a slower approach to the meal. The bar extends the experience into the afternoon, when music and drinks bring a more social mood to the beachfront. A small boutique adds clothing and accessories suited to a day on the coast. Deck chairs allow the visit to stretch between lunch and time by the water, with practical services including parking and lockers supporting an unhurried stay. This is a seasonal beach address, with opening periods shaped by the Riviera calendar. Its appeal lies in the continuity between the restaurant and its surroundings, allowing food, conversation and the changing light over the bay to set the pace.

577. Alquímico

     Cartagena, Colombia

     Alquímico occupies a characterful mansion in Cartagena's historic centre, with three levels that offer different routes into Colombian cocktail culture. The main room places the bar at the centre of the action, a balcony level gives more attention to reworked classics, and the rooftop takes its inspiration from the team's farm in the coffee-growing region of Quindío. Moving between them is part of the evening's pleasure. Ingredients provide the connection. Colombian fruit, herbs and other regional produce shape drinks developed through the bar's relationships with growers and its own research kitchen. The programme extends to fruit wines and meads, allowing familiar cocktail structures to carry flavours closely connected to the country. Seasonal creations sit alongside classics and alcohol-free choices, so the experience need not follow a single style of drinking. The setting becomes increasingly animated as the evening develops, particularly on the roof, where music contributes to a sociable, celebratory atmosphere. Yet there is detail behind the energy, from the different menus on each floor to the provenance of the ingredients. Alquímico suits visitors interested in both Cartagena's nightlife and the broader Colombian landscape that supplies its bars and kitchens.

Its site presents the restaurant as a neighbourhood gathering place rather than a formal dining room, and notes both indoor and outdoor dining. The family-led operation also describes its community ties and the continuation of recipes carried forward by chef-owner Kyo Pang. The menu centres on Malaysian and Nyonya dishes, including nasi lemak with coconut rice, ikan bilis, cucumber, egg and sambal, kaya butter toast, Malaysian-style half-boiled eggs, fish ball soup, pan mee, and a range of snacks such as curry puffs, pandan chicken, lobak and otak otak. Drinks include traditional kopi and teh service, along with house specialties such as barley wintermelon, lychee bandung and Milo Dinosaur.

Kopitiam’s service style is casual and practical, with the kitchen offering set meals as well as à la carte breakfast, snacks and mains. Several dishes are prepared to order and some are flagged for limited availability, which suggests a menu that changes with supply and preparation time. The restaurant also states that it is not halal, and advises guests with allergies or dietary restrictions to inform staff before ordering. Overall, Kopitiam offers a compact, street-facing dining experience shaped by Malaysian kopi-shop culture and Penang-influenced family cooking. The emphasis is on familiar comfort dishes, handmade noodles, savoury rice plates and sweet drinks, rather than elaborate table service. Its Lower East Side setting, walk-in format and broad menu make it a distinctive casual option for diners seeking Malaysian flavours in central Manhattan.

580. Salisbury Room at The Peninsula Hong Kong

     Hong Kong, China

     The Salisbury Room is a formal celebration space within The Peninsula Hong Kong, the historic hotel on Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. Set on the mezzanine, it brings a traditional ballroom atmosphere to wedding dinners and private gatherings. Chandeliers and carefully arranged banquet tables establish a setting whose character is closely tied to the hotel’s long history of entertaining. The adjoining Salisbury Foyer adds flexibility to the occasion. It can support the social elements around the main dinner, allowing guests to gather in a separate space before or after the principal celebration. The hotel also offers other venues for ceremonies, so couples can plan different parts of their day around more than one setting within the property. Wedding specialists coordinate details including floral arrangements, themes and dining. Chinese, Western and buffet menus allow the meal to reflect the preferences of the hosts and their guests. For visitors arriving from overseas, the hotel’s accommodation and location near Victoria Harbour make a longer shared stay possible. The room’s appeal rests in its manageable scale, formal atmosphere and connection to the wider Peninsula experience.

581. Pizzeria Bianco

     Arizona

     Chris Bianco began making pizzas in a Phoenix grocery store in 1988, and Pizzeria Bianco now has two Phoenix addresses: Heritage Square downtown and Town & Country. Wood-fired pizza and relationships with farmers and local producers remain central to the restaurants' identity. At Heritage Square, the compact selection centres on six enduring pies, including Margherita, Marinara, Rosa, Wiseguy, Sonny Boy and Biancoverde. The Town & Country restaurant broadens the offering with artisanal pasta, a house-made meatball sandwich and chicken cacciatore alongside the pizzas. The two locations share Bianco's approach to ingredients while offering different routes through a meal.

582. Angkor Archaeological Park

     Siem Reap, Cambodia

     Angkor Archaeological Park spreads across a landscape of temples, forest, reservoirs and former urban centres outside Siem Reap. Its monuments record different periods of the Khmer empire, with Hindu and Buddhist traditions expressed through architecture and sculpture. Angkor Wat provides the familiar introduction, but the park's variety becomes clearer when a visit includes several contrasting sites. The towers and galleries of Angkor Wat reveal a carefully ordered temple complex, while the Bayon at Angkor Thom presents a different architectural character. Elsewhere, temple mountains, monastic enclosures and smaller shrines show how successive rulers shaped the landscape. Carving deserves close attention: individual figures, decorative patterns and narrative scenes add detail to monuments that can initially seem overwhelming in scale. The distances between sites make a planned route useful, especially for visitors hoping to combine major temples with quieter corners. Admission is managed through the official Angkor Pass system, and individual sites have their own visiting conditions. Allow time for both the architecture and the landscape between monuments. Approached across more than a single stop, Angkor offers a layered encounter with Khmer history, religious expression and the continuing work of conserving an extensive archaeological inheritance.

583. Hong Kong International Airport

     Hong Kong, China

     Hong Kong International Airport occupies Chek Lap Kok, where aircraft movements unfold against the waterways and hills around Lantau Island. It serves both visitors arriving in Hong Kong and passengers connecting across the region, with rail and road transport linking the terminals to the city. The range of services reflects that international role, from airline lounges and baggage storage to dedicated assistance for travellers with additional needs. A distinctive feature is Sky Bridge, the glazed walkway connecting Terminal 1 with its satellite concourse. Spanning an aircraft taxiway, it offers a view across the apron and the unusual prospect of seeing aircraft pass beneath. Moving walkways and escalators make it part of the passenger route as well as a place to pause and watch airport life. Shops, restaurants and places to relax are spread across different terminal zones. Some facilities sit beyond departure controls, so access depends on the journey being made. Airport Express services provide a straightforward connection with the city, while the airport's transport information covers other onward options. For a longer connection, the combination of practical services and open views gives travellers several ways to spend their time between flights.

584. American Airlines AAdvantage

     Fort Worth, United States

     AAdvantage brings together American Airlines travel and a range of partner activity in a single rewards programme. Members earn miles through eligible flights and qualifying purchases, then use them towards award travel, upgrades and other options. American's domestic network gives it a substantial United States focus, while airline partners broaden the possibilities for international journeys. The programme separates redeemable miles from Loyalty Points, which contribute to status qualification and additional rewards. Eligible activity may earn both, but the rules differ across fares and partners. This distinction makes it possible to plan around two separate aims: accumulating a useful travel balance and achieving benefits that recognise regular participation in the programme. Higher status levels can bring priority services, baggage benefits and upgrade opportunities, with conditions determined by the itinerary and membership level. Members can also explore hotel, shopping and dining partnerships, alongside available card-linked opportunities. The practical appeal lies in connecting repeat travel and ordinary spending with a future trip. Comparing dates, award availability and any cash charges helps establish whether a particular redemption is worthwhile, while current programme rules explain which activity contributes towards the next status milestone.

585. Ozone – The Ritz-Carlton

     Hong Kong

     Ozone – The Ritz-Carlton is a restaurant in Hong Kong.

586. Al Fassia

     Marrakech, Morocco

     Al Fassia is a Moroccan restaurant group in Marrakech, Morocco, operating two distinct branches: Al Fassia Guéliz and Al Fassia Aguedal. The official site presents them as different settings with the same cuisine, and says the business has been operating in the city since 1987. Guéliz is placed in the heart of the modern district, while Aguedal is set in Agdal, giving diners a choice between a central urban address and a calmer riad-based location. Both restaurants serve traditional Moroccan à la carte cooking, with vegetarian dishes also listed. The group says its ingredients come mainly from small local producers, and that herbs are taken from the garden according to the season. Menu references include Moroccan salads and briouats, pointing to a repertoire built around familiar regional dishes rather than international cooking. The emphasis is on local produce, seasonal freshness and classic Moroccan flavours. The Guéliz branch is described as intimate, authentic and warm, with an indoor patio used for salads and a dining space that offers privacy. At Aguedal, the restaurant forms part of the riad and is arranged for dinner service, with tables in the shade of the trees and small Moroccan lounges inside. The site also notes that Aguedal may host private events, when lunch can be served. Together, the two rooms create different atmospheres within the same culinary identity. Al Fassia also presents a clear house story rooted in its original concept of employing only women and training them in both cooking and service. That background is reflected in the restaurants’ carefully composed settings, from the city-centre dining room in Guéliz to the more gardened calm of Aguedal. The result is a formal but welcoming Marrakech dining experience, shaped by traditional Moroccan hospitality, local sourcing and an approach that keeps the focus firmly on food, room and service rather than spectacle.

587. Angler

     London, UK

     Angler is a seafood restaurant at South Place Hotel, 3 South Place, London EC2M 2AF, in the City of London. Its official materials present it as a Michelin-starred dining room built around seasonal British produce, with fish and shellfish sourced through specialist suppliers, fishermen and day boats around the British Isles. As the rooftop restaurant of the hotel, it occupies a contemporary setting above the street, giving the venue a distinct London character that suits its central location. The menus focus on fish and shellfish, with supporting dishes built from carefully sourced meat and produce. Angler publishes an à la carte offering alongside signature tasting menus, including the shorter Taste of Angler selection, plus desserts and a wine list. Group dining menus are also available for business lunches, client dinners and larger gatherings, so the restaurant can cater for formal meals, celebrations and other planned occasions without losing its seafood-led identity. Beyond the main dining room, Angler offers a rooftop terrace and private dining facilities. The terrace is described as an outdoor dining space in the City, while the restaurant’s events information refers to private hire and celebrations. Its contact details place it within easy reach of Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Bank stations, which makes the venue straightforward to reach for daytime meetings and evening bookings across central London. The overall experience is shaped by refined, contemporary surroundings, seasonal cooking and views over London from the roof of South Place Hotel. Official descriptions place emphasis on attentive service and a polished City atmosphere rather than informal brasserie dining. The restaurant also states that it cannot cater for severe allergies to fish, shellfish, crustacea and molluscs, which underlines how closely the menu is tied to its seafood specialism and kitchen style.

588. Arabian Tea House

     Dubai, UAE

     Arabian Tea House in Dubai is the Al Fahidi branch of a long-running Emirati restaurant and café, set on Al Fahidi Street in Bur Dubai. The business says it has operated since 1997 and presents the venue as a place to experience traditional Arabic culture through Middle Eastern halal food, with this branch linked to the historic Bastakiya quarter and its old wind-tower buildings. The official contact page places the Al Fahidi branch at Al Fahidi Street, Bur Dubai, with daily service from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm. The restaurant’s own description emphasises a heritage-led setting, with a courtyard feel, turquoise benches, white rattan chairs, lace curtains and flowering plants, suggesting a café-style atmosphere rather than a formal dining room. Food and drink are organised around Emirati and broader Arabic fare. The published menu categories include breakfast, appetisers, salads, sandwiches, barbecue, main courses, drinks and traditional sweets, while the drinks list includes tea and coffee service alongside speciality house drinks. The business also describes itself as serving authentic Middle Eastern halal food, which frames the dining offer as culturally rooted and suitable for a broad day-to-day meal or a slower tea-house visit. The branch is part of a wider Arabian Tea House group, but the Al Fahidi location stands out for its heritage setting in old Dubai rather than a mall or roadside format. Taken together, the official pages present a restaurant that combines Emirati cooking, tea-house hospitality and a preserved neighbourhood context, making the experience as much about place and atmosphere as the menu itself.

589. Baan Lao

     Richmond, Canada

     Baan Lao Fine Thai Cuisine is a Thai restaurant in Steveston, Richmond, British Columbia, at 4100 Bayview Street. The restaurant works around reserved dining experiences rather than a walk-in, all-day format, with all guests requiring a reserved seat. Its official information presents dinner service from Wednesday to Sunday, alongside a separate Thai tea service on Saturdays and Sundays, giving the restaurant a structured rhythm built around planned meals and a deliberate pace in a waterfront Richmond setting. The cooking is framed through Royal Thai Cuisine and through a menu described as a journey around the four corners of Thailand. Baan Lao says its dishes use rare and unique ingredients, while the restaurant’s own explanation of Royal Thai food emphasises balance rather than heavily hot or over-the-top spicy flavours. Presentation is also part of the identity, with the menu served on custom, hand-hewn pottery and dinnerware made by Thai artisans, reinforcing a carefully composed and culturally specific style of service. Ingredients and sourcing are central to how Baan Lao describes its kitchen. The restaurant states that it sources directly from farmers, growers and fishers, with an emphasis on tracing ingredients from sea and farm to table. It links that approach to environmental protection and sustainability, suggesting a menu shaped by provenance as much as by technique. Drinks are treated with similar care, with pairing options that include wine, cocktails, mocktails, gong fu cha tea, caffeine-free tea, sake and the Baan Lao combination. The overall experience is organised as a 2.5-hour culinary journey, and the restaurant states that there is currently no children’s menu and no à la carte option. On weekend afternoons, Baan Lao also offers an Afternoon Thai Tea Experience guided by a certified TAC tea sommelier. That service is presented as 12 dishes across three courses, paired with five teas from across Asia, adding a distinct tea-focused format to the restaurant’s reservation-based dining programme in Richmond.

590. Vedge

     Philadelphia, USA

     Vedge is a vegetable-led restaurant at 1221 Locust Street in Center City, Philadelphia, and it is operated by chefs Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby. The official site says the restaurant opened in 2011 and presents it as a dinner destination built around vegetables rather than animal products. Current information on the restaurant’s own pages shows a Tuesday-to-Saturday evening service pattern, with reservations handled through Resy. The menu is described as seasonal and changing, with small plates and vegetable preparations shaped by layered cooking methods and international flavours. Official material also notes a bar offering that includes natural wines, craft beers and cocktails, while Visit Philadelphia points to a weekday early-evening snacks-and-drinks format. The result is a plant-based dining room with a clearly contemporary approach, rather than a simple meat-free menu built around substitutes. In experience terms, Vedge reads as a more refined place for a full dinner rather than a casual takeaway counter. Philadelphia Magazine has described it as fine dining, and the restaurant’s own visit information presents a dedicated dining room experience. The setting and menu structure suggest an emphasis on composed plates, careful pacing and a strong identity rooted in vegetables, with enough breadth to cover both lighter dishes and more substantial courses. Taken together, Vedge stands out as a chef-led Philadelphia restaurant with a sharply defined plant-based focus. Its Center City location, evening-only opening pattern and bar programme help shape a distinct identity, while the evolving menu keeps the cooking closely tied to produce and seasonality. For diners seeking a modern vegetable restaurant in the city, it offers a concentrated approach that is both food-driven and recognisably polished.

591. Buona Terra

     Singapore

     Buona Terra is a contemporary Italian restaurant at 29 Scotts Road in Singapore, set inside a conserved black-and-white bungalow that gives the address a secluded, residential feel. Michelin describes it as an intimate restaurant in a refurbished colonial house, while the restaurant’s own information sets out a compact layout shaped for a small number of diners. The main dining room has ten tables and seats up to thirty guests, and the property also provides an on-site car park for visitors arriving by car. The restaurant frames its cooking around seasonality and respect for ingredients, presenting a modern Italian approach rather than a broad all-day menu. Buona Terra works through set menus only. On weekdays, lunch is offered in four-course and five-course formats, and the restaurant also states that the dinner menu may be served at lunch when available. This structure points to a paced meal shaped by the kitchen, with dishes selected as part of a sequence rather than ordered individually from an à la carte list. For groups or more private occasions, Buona Terra states that it has three private rooms that can host up to fourteen guests. The menu information also notes that dietary requirements and many allergies can be accommodated with advance notice, which is a practical part of the service for guests planning ahead. Wine forms a clear part of the experience as well: the restaurant lists a three-glass wine flyer, a six-glass wine pairing and a corkage policy, showing that drinks can be woven into the meal rather than treated separately. The setting and service help define the character of the restaurant as much as the food. Michelin notes an elegant interior with an imposing display of wine bottles, while the restaurant describes its hospitality as warm, professional and personal. Further practical touches include the option to arrange celebration cakes in advance through Ami Pâtisserie. Taken together, those elements suggest a composed, small-scale dining experience in which the house, table count and set-menu format create an unhurried and carefully structured atmosphere.

592. Amanpuri Private Villas

     Phuket, Thailand

     Amanpuri's private villas are set among coconut palms on a peninsula above Phuket's western coastline. The architecture draws on Thai pavilion forms, with pitched roofs, timber interiors and separate spaces for sleeping, dining and gathering. Garden and ocean settings offer different outlooks, but both create a sense of separation from the resort's more public areas. Villas are organised around private swimming pools and generous outdoor terraces, with accommodation extending to substantial residences for larger groups. Multiple bedroom pavilions allow families or friends to share living areas while retaining their own space. A resident Thai chef can prepare meals in the villa, giving the house a daily rhythm shaped around the preferences of its occupants. The wider Amanpuri resort provides access to the beach, restaurants and wellness facilities, so a private stay need not be isolated. Days can alternate between the pool terrace, treatments and time beside the Andaman Sea. The villas are especially distinctive for their combination of traditional architectural language and extensive domestic space. Choosing between a garden or ocean position, and considering how the bedrooms connect, helps establish the right setting for a particular group.

593. Chishuru

     London, UK

     Chishuru is a modern West African restaurant in Fitzrovia, at 3 Great Titchfield Street, London W1W 8AX. Founded by Adejoké ‘Joké’ Bakare, it takes its name from a Hausa phrase meaning ‘eat silently’, and the business presents itself as a contemporary expression of West African cooking in central London. Its current home opened in September 2023, following an earlier Brixton residency that helped establish the restaurant before the move north of the river. The kitchen serves set menus only, with distinct lunch, dinner and pre-theatre formats. Chishuru says lunch is designed to be served within an hour where needed, while dinner offers a fuller experience and the pre-theatre option provides a shorter alternative. The restaurant also publishes detailed dietary guidance, noting that some requirements cannot be accommodated. Ingredients and flavours include uziza pepper, uda, aidan fruit and daddawa, with the team prepared to explain them to guests. Drinks are treated with the same attention as the food. The wine list focuses on small French producers, while cocktails are created in-house and may use West African ingredients where possible. Bottled beers from Eko Brewery and Ògógóró from Lagos are also listed. For larger parties, Chishuru offers group bookings and exclusive hire, including a ground-floor 18-seat arrangement, making the dining room suitable for private gatherings as well as regular service. The interior uses rough plaster, wood grains, pigmented cement, rich colour and bespoke lighting, creating a warm, textured room for contemporary dining. Practical arrangements are straightforward: the restaurant accepts card payments only, has no phone number and no bar area for waiting. Children are welcome, though there is no children’s menu. Wheelchair users should note that the toilets are in the basement with no lift, so advance contact is needed for access planning.

594. Turkish Airlines

     Istanbul, Türkiye

     Turkish Airlines uses Istanbul as the centre of a network that reaches across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. The city's position between regions makes the airline relevant to both direct visits to Türkiye and journeys that connect through its main hub. A substantial domestic operation also allows travellers to continue from Istanbul to other parts of the country. Food is a distinctive part of the onboard identity. Menus draw on Turkish cooking alongside international dishes, with service adjusted to the duration and timing of the flight. On selected services, Flying Chefs support the Business Class dining experience. Economy passengers also receive meal or snack services appropriate to their route, bringing a regional element to the journey. Cabin seating varies across the fleet, from aircraft used on shorter sectors to wide-body types operating longer routes. Lounges serve eligible travellers at Istanbul, while Miles&Smiles links qualifying flights with rewards and status recognition through participating partners. The airline's appeal combines the reach of its route network with a clear culinary connection to its home country. Checking aircraft details and connection arrangements helps travellers choose an itinerary that suits both their destination and preferred onboard experience.

595. Super Loco

     Singapore

     Super Loco is a restaurant in Singapore.

596. Soneva Secret

     Haa Dhaalu Atoll, Maldives

     Soneva Secret occupies a remote corner of the Maldives' Haa Dhaalu Atoll, with a small collection of villas arranged around an island and its surrounding water. The scale makes privacy central to the experience, while the open horizon and reef give the setting a strong sense of separation from busier parts of the archipelago. Arrival is part of that transition into island life. Accommodation includes beach villas, overwater villas and Sea Loft Villas reached by private boat. Their different positions allow guests to choose between a garden connection to the sand and a more complete immersion in the lagoon. Spacious interiors open towards the sea, with outdoor living areas designed for long intervals between excursions, meals and swimming. Dining is shaped around individual preferences, from private lunches to dinners beneath the night sky. Wellbeing treatments can come to the villa, while experiences range from sandbank picnics and ocean ziplining to exploring the surrounding marine environment. Encounters with wildlife depend on natural conditions, which helps keep the focus on the place itself. The resort suits travellers who value a flexible daily rhythm and close attention to the details of a secluded stay.

597. Desert Pool at Amangiri

     Canyon Point, United States

     Amangiri's main swimming pool curves around a rock formation in the desert of southern Utah. The meeting of water, stone and spare modern architecture gives the pool its distinctive character, with the surrounding mesas determining the scale of the scene. Its position within the resort makes the ancient landscape a close physical presence rather than simply a distant view. The pool terrace offers places to settle beside the water, while the exposed rock creates changing patterns of light and shade. Swimming provides another perspective on the resort's muted buildings and their relationship with the desert. At different times of day, the colour of the stone shifts from pale warmth to deeper tones, making the same poolside setting feel markedly different. Amangiri's suites, restaurants and substantial spa allow the pool to form part of a wider stay devoted to the region. Guided hikes, climbing routes and excursions explore the canyons and open country beyond the grounds, with the pool offering a calm return after a more active morning. This is the main resort pool at Amangiri, distinct from the private plunge pools attached to selected suites and the tented pavilions at nearby Camp Sarika.

598. Rijksmuseum

     Amsterdam, Netherlands

     At the edge of Amsterdam's Museumplein, the Rijksmuseum brings Dutch art and history into a substantial nineteenth-century museum building. Its galleries span centuries, placing paintings alongside objects that reveal how people lived, traded and expressed their identities. The scale invites a longer visit, though a carefully chosen route can still give a rewarding sense of the collection. The Gallery of Honour is a natural starting point for encounters with Rembrandt, Vermeer and Frans Hals. Rembrandt's The Night Watch and Vermeer's The Milkmaid anchor different ways of looking at seventeenth-century life, from collective public display to a closely observed domestic moment. Elsewhere, paintings by Van Gogh and a broad range of historical material extend the story beyond the period most closely associated with Dutch painting. The museum's garden offers an outdoor interval, while a café and shop make it easy to break up time in the galleries. Audio stories and guided tours help visitors navigate the extensive displays and choose themes that suit their interests. Its position among the cultural institutions around Museumplein also makes the Rijksmuseum a useful centrepiece for a day devoted to Amsterdam's museums.

599. Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara

     Liwa, United Arab Emirates

     Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara rises among the dunes of the Empty Quarter in the Liwa region of Abu Dhabi. Fortress-like walls, towers and courtyards give the buildings a sense of enclosure against the open desert. Sand-coloured interiors and terraces keep the surroundings central to the experience, particularly when the light changes across the dunes towards evening. Accommodation ranges from rooms and suites to villas with private pools. Some spaces open onto gardens, while others provide elevated desert views, allowing guests to choose between different degrees of privacy and outlook. The spa offers a Moroccan hammam and a menu of treatments, complemented by fitness facilities and movement sessions. Shared pools add another place to spend unhurried time during the warmer part of the day. Activities can include guided desert excursions and camel rides, with dining experiences making use of the outdoor setting when conditions allow. Guests can build an active itinerary or let the landscape set a slower pace. The resort's distinctive quality is its position within a vast expanse of sand, where a structured wellness session and a simple hour watching the dunes can feel equally central to the stay.

600. Presidential Suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

     Istanbul, Türkiye

     The Presidential Suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul frames the Bosphorus from a private residential setting above the city. The view gives the accommodation a strong sense of place, with water and the surrounding skyline remaining present across the living areas and terrace. Generous proportions allow the suite to serve as a retreat between explorations of Istanbul and as a setting for a quieter day within the hotel. A formal dining room separates meals and entertaining from the main living space, while the private bedroom has a king bed. The marble bathroom includes a deep soaking tub and a separate rain shower. Outside, an Ofuro tub on the terrace creates a distinctive place to relax with the Bosphorus in view, extending the suite's bathing experience beyond the interior. Bespoke furnishings and the hotel's services support the residential arrangement, whether the stay involves private dining, work or time with a companion. The wider property adds restaurants and wellness facilities, while its location near the European shore provides access to the city's cultural and commercial districts. The Presidential Suite's defining feature is the way substantial private space and an outdoor bathing area remain connected to Istanbul's maritime landscape.

601. Dassault Falcon 6X

     Saint-Cloud, France

     The Dassault Falcon 6X gives particular attention to space and daylight on long international journeys. Its cabin measures 2.58 metres across and 1.98 metres high, with thirty windows and a skylight bringing natural light into the interior. Flowing surfaces and an uncluttered arrangement help the cabin feel open, whether passengers are working around a table or settling into a lounge seat. The interior can be tailored to different travel patterns, with areas for meetings, meals and rest. An optional privacy suite uses an adjustable divider and seats that convert for sleeping, allowing a quiet conversation during the day or a more secluded berth at night. Cabin controls can be operated through personal devices, and FalconConnect provides options for keeping in touch while travelling. Air filtration, circulation and sound insulation form part of the onboard environment, while the flight deck combines Dassault's EASy avionics with digital flight controls. The 6X is a twin-engine aircraft designed to cover substantial international sectors. Its distinctive passenger proposition is the combination of physical cabin width, abundant natural light and flexible spaces, with the finished layout determined by each owner's requirements.

602. Grande Mosquée de Paris

     Paris, France

     The Grande Mosquée de Paris offers a different architectural perspective on the Latin Quarter, close to the Jardin des Plantes. Inaugurated in 1926, the mosque combines a prominent minaret with courtyards, gardens and richly decorated interiors. Its history is connected to the remembrance of Muslim soldiers who fought for France, giving the building a commemorative as well as a religious role. The Grand Patio displays the work of skilled craftspeople through zellige mosaics, stucco and ceramics, set beneath timber and green roof tiles. Beyond it, fountains and planted spaces create a quieter sequence of rooms outdoors. The library's cedar panelling and stained glass, and the carved details around the prayer hall, add further layers to the decorative programme. Visits explore designated areas of the complex while its religious spaces continue to serve worshippers. Guided interpretation helps connect the architecture with the mosque's place in French history and its continuing cultural activities. A visit fits naturally with a walk through the surrounding quarter, but the details merit time in their own right. The contrast between the Parisian streets and the interior gardens is central to its appeal.

604. Goldee’s Barbecue

     Fort Worth, USA

     Goldee’s Bar-B•Q is a barbecue restaurant at 4645 Dick Price Road in Fort Worth, Texas, operating as a single-site Texas smokehouse rather than a multi-branch chain. Its official welcome page gives the address and identifies a Thursday-to-Sunday service pattern, 11am to 3pm or until sold out. The Michelin Guide lists the same Fort Worth location and classifies the food as barbecue and American, confirming the business identity and cuisine focus. The cooking is centred on smoked meats and familiar barbecue accompaniments. Michelin highlights Black Angus brisket, turkey, jalapeño-cheddar sausage, potato salad, brisket beans and banana pudding, giving a clear picture of the menu’s balance between meat, sides and dessert. The restaurant’s own site frames the operation around smoking and house-made barbecue items, including sauce and seasoning, which suggests an emphasis on product-led cooking rather than a broad general menu. Goldee’s also offers more than counter service. The official website advertises online pre-ordering, a brisket class, a five-day class and an event space, showing that the business extends into teaching and private hire alongside day-to-day food service. Michelin notes that pets are permitted only in outdoor dining areas, which indicates an outdoor-friendly setup with a defined internal dining policy. These details point to a specialist operation with a practical, hands-on format. Taken together, the verified facts describe a focused Fort Worth barbecue destination with a limited weekly rhythm and a concise, smoke-led offer. The business appears built around post-oak barbecue and classic Texas sides, with house products and classes adding a stronger producer identity to the restaurant model. Rather than an all-day dining room, Goldee’s is presented as a tightly run specialist venue for guests seeking an established, single-location barbecue experience in south Fort Worth.

     St George's, Grenada

     The Diamond Club Luxury Presidential One Bedroom Suite at Royalton Grenada offers separate sleeping and living spaces close to the island's southern beaches. The resort stands at Magazine Beach, near Point Salines, with the sea and tropical grounds shaping its outlook. The one-bedroom suite is approximately 60 square metres, giving couples or a small family a comfortable base within the wider all-inclusive property. A king bed occupies the bedroom, while the separate living room contains a sofa bed and bar counter. A full bathroom and large balcony complete the arrangement. Ocean view and oceanfront categories are listed, so the precise outlook should be matched to the reservation. Diamond Club benefits include butler assistance, a private lounge and access to dedicated beach and pool areas, adding a more personal element to the resort stay. The wider property has swimming pools, several restaurants and bars, with supervised children's activities and a dedicated children's pool. Fitness classes and water sports provide opportunities to be active, while spa treatments offer a quieter way to spend an afternoon. The suite's appeal is its manageable size and clear separation of living and sleeping areas, combined with the convenience of meals, recreation and the beach within one coastal resort.

608. Saint Peter

     Australia

     Saint Peter is Josh and Julie Niland's seafood restaurant in Paddington's heritage-listed Grand National Hotel. Its approach uses the whole fish, bringing lesser-known cuts into charcuterie, snacks and even desserts. This gives the menu a wider range of textures and preparations than a conventional seafood selection. The main dining room offers a lunch choice menu and an evening tasting menu, while the bar serves drinks with an à la carte food menu. A private dining room accommodates smaller groups, and rooms above the restaurant allow guests to combine dinner with an overnight stay. The current venue is on Underwood Street.

Three outdoor lap pools and an aquatic centre support swimming, fitness and water-based therapies. A high-ropes course adds climbing, a zip line and physical challenges, while the meditation garden provides space for private reflection. Packages allow guests to build their stay around different interests, from outdoor adventures and movement to bodywork or spiritual wellness, with the chosen programme determining the included services.

611. Destinology

     Bolton, United Kingdom

     Destinology is a travel consultancy based in Bolton that arranges hotel holidays, tailor-made journeys and cruises. Its Caribbean and Mexico portfolio sits within a wider international programme, with a focus on resorts whose setting, accommodation and service form a significant part of the trip. Travellers can compare beach hotels, private-pool accommodation and villas through the same planning service. The range includes family holidays, adults-only stays, honeymoons and multi-centre itineraries. Advisors can discuss the practical distinctions between resorts, such as dining arrangements, room configurations and the facilities available to children. This helps turn broad preferences, whether for privacy, activity or a lively social atmosphere, into a more specific choice of destination and property. A concierge service supports the details around a booking, while the company also provides assistance during travel. Flights, transfers and additional experiences can be considered as part of the wider itinerary. For Caribbean visitors, Destinology’s approach is particularly suited to a resort-centred holiday where the accommodation needs to work well for the entire party, with scope to build in time beyond the hotel.

612. Presidential Suite at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     The Presidential Suite at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab opens towards Dubai's coastline, with views extending from Jumeirah Burj Al Arab towards the Burj Khalifa. Golden tones give the interiors a warm character, while a wraparound terrace makes the sea and skyline central to the stay. The two-bedroom arrangement is designed to provide substantial private living space within the resort. The terrace includes a plunge pool, allowing guests to swim or settle outdoors without leaving the suite. Inside, an entertaining area has its own bar counter, while a separate kitchen supports private dining. Two king bedrooms, a dressing room and additional accommodation for a nanny make the layout adaptable for families. The marble bathroom adds a rain shower and a Jacuzzi bathtub with a view towards Burj Al Arab. A dedicated butler helps arrange the daily details, and suite guests have access to Iliana Pool Club. The wider resort offers a private beach, several pools and dining spaces, with the marina promenade adding cafés and restaurants nearby. The Presidential Suite's appeal lies in its balance of indoor comfort and extensive outdoor space, allowing the coastline to remain part of everyday life throughout a stay.

613. Ikarus - Hangar-7

     Austria

     At Salzburg Airport, Restaurant Ikarus brings international chefs into Red Bull Hangar-7, the exhibition building that also houses historic aircraft and Formula 1 cars. Its defining idea is a monthly guest-chef menu. Executive chef Martin Klein travels to the visiting chef's own kitchen, studies the ingredients and techniques, then prepares the Ikarus team to recreate that culinary approach in Salzburg. The resulting tasting menus can move between French traditions, Nordic cooking and more experimental styles as the calendar changes. Wine accompaniment is available, with separate lists for Champagne, white and red wines. The dining room was redesigned in 2025, adding a renewed setting for this continually changing restaurant.

614. Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill

     USA

     Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill is the chef’s restaurant at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, 3799 South Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas. MGM Grand identifies it as an American restaurant, while the operator presents this branch as a bar-and-grill concept with a modernised, approachable style. The room is framed as casual and lively rather than formal, giving it an easy resort character suited to the pace of a major Strip hotel and casino, with a recognisable branded identity inside the broader MGM Grand complex. The menu is described through California-inspired cuisine with a broad American bar-and-grill range. MGM Grand highlights wood-fired pizzas, grill dishes and small bites, pointing to a selection built around familiar formats that can suit different kinds of meal. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, which gives it a wider role within the resort than an evening-only dining room. That combination suggests a venue designed for flexibility, whether guests want a lighter stop during the day or a fuller meal later on. Its setting within MGM Grand shapes much of the experience. The operator notes that the restaurant is adjacent to the Cirque du Soleil KÀ theatre, placing it in a busy entertainment section of the property rather than in a secluded corner. For organised gatherings, the restaurant also offers several private dining configurations. These include a private room, a glass room and the possibility of a full restaurant buyout, indicating that the space can be adapted for social events, group meals and business functions as well as standard restaurant service. Overall, this Las Vegas branch presents Wolfgang Puck’s name in a polished but accessible format rather than as a fine-dining room. The emphasis falls on California-influenced American food, a sociable atmosphere and the practical advantages of being inside a large casino resort. Casual dress is listed by MGM Grand, which fits the restaurant’s relaxed tone. Taken together, the food style, theatre-side position and event options create a venue shaped as much by convenience and energy as by the menu itself.

     MADO is a restaurant in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

616. Snorkel Australia's Great Barrier Reef responsibly

     World

617. El Gaucho

     Bangkok, Thailand

     El Gaucho in Bangkok is the Thai operation of the El Gaucho Steakhouse group, with official city branches identified on the operator’s own location pages rather than a single generic listing. The Bangkok portfolio includes Soi 11, Soi 19 and Galeri 24 on Sukhumvit 24, and the brand presents each restaurant as a distinct venue with its own address and layout in central Bangkok. At Soi 11, the restaurant is at 18 Sukhumvit Soi 11 inside the Mercure Hotel in North Klong Toey, while Soi 19 is at 8 Sukhumvit 19 in Wattana. The Bangkok pages describe both as steakhouse restaurants, with menus built around premium cuts and grilled preparation, alongside an international wine list. The operator also notes that menu items may vary by location, so each branch has its own line-up. The dining spaces are styled differently to suit their buildings. Soi 11 is presented as a single-floor open space with the brand bar, around 130 seats and a large balcony for outdoor seating. Soi 19 is arranged over four floors with an outside terrace, and the page refers to private dining and events. Galeri 24 is described as a warm contemporary room with brick textures, arched details and ambient lighting. Practical details are also branch-specific. Soi 11 offers hotel parking, while Soi 19 mentions parking at Terminal 21 and Robinson, together with a smoking area only on the outside terrace. Galeri 24 states that parking is available within the complex and that the restaurant is non-smoking. Taken together, the Bangkok outlets are formal urban steakhouses with a polished, central-city character and facilities tailored to business meals, group dining and private occasions.

618. Jetty Beach Club at One&Only Mandarina

     Lo de Marcos, Mexico

     Jetty Beach Club occupies a sheltered stretch of shore at One&Only Mandarina on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit. Rainforest-covered slopes rise behind the sand, while the Pacific and the resort's jetty draw the view out towards the horizon. Daybeds, terraces and pools create a comfortable base at sea level within a property otherwise closely associated with its elevated villas and treehouses. Dining follows the coastal setting. Seafood cooked over charcoal, lighter bites and cocktails make it possible to move between a proper lunch and a more casual afternoon by the water. Open-air tables and cabanas keep the ocean in sight, with the surrounding greenery giving the club a sense of enclosure despite the broad outlook. The atmosphere is easy and social, suited to a day that develops without a rigid schedule. Kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming can form part of the wider experience, subject to conditions and the resort's arrangements. Alternatively, the appeal may be simply to remain beside the pools and watch the light change across the bay. Jetty Beach Club brings the landscape, the kitchen and the water together in one of Mandarina's most immediate coastal settings.

619. Negril Village

     New York, USA

     Negril Village is a restaurant in New York, USA.

620. Sun City Resort

     Sun City, South Africa

     Sun City occupies a broad leisure estate in South Africa's North West province, close to Pilanesberg National Park. The resort combines casino entertainment with golf, water attractions and a choice of hotels, allowing visitors to shape a stay around family activities, sporting days or more secluded accommodation. Its landscaped grounds and low surrounding hills give it a different atmosphere from an urban casino complex. The hotels have individual characters. The Palace of the Lost City uses elaborate stonework, towers and African-inspired decorative themes, while the Cascades is arranged around gardens, waterfalls and pools. The Cabanas provides a more informal base near the Waterworld lake. Restaurants and bars are distributed around the estate, with Sun Central acting as a focus for shopping, dining and indoor entertainment. The Valley of Waves adds a wave pool and water slides, and the resort's golf courses bring substantial open space into the landscape. Activities extend to guided outdoor excursions and family entertainment, while neighbouring Pilanesberg offers the possibility of a safari outing. Because the estate is extensive, the location and facilities of the chosen hotel make a meaningful difference to the daily experience.

621. La Casa de la Playa

     Playa del Carmen, Mexico

     La Casa de la Playa combines a small collection of 63 suites with a broad culinary and cultural programme on Mexico's Riviera Maya. Facing the Caribbean near Playa del Carmen, the hotel uses Mexican artwork and handcrafted pieces to give its interiors a strong sense of place. Suites include private pools, volcanic stone baths and steam facilities, creating space to spend part of the day away from shared areas. Dining is a defining part of the stay. The inclusive arrangement covers the hotel's restaurants, bars and in room dining, with Mexican regional cooking presented alongside more exploratory menus. Tuch de Luna is among the distinctive venues, while the chocolate room and collections of tequila and mezcal add less formal ways to explore local flavours. Butler service helps coordinate meals and individual plans. The wider Xcaret setting brings access to additional restaurants and selected park experiences, subject to their reservation arrangements. Muluk Spa offers a quieter counterpoint, with treatments booked separately unless included in a particular package. Welcoming guests aged 16 and over, the hotel suits travellers who want generous private accommodation without losing the variety of a larger resort. Its character rests on contemporary design, Mexican craft and food.

622. Zuma

     Dubai, UAE

     Zuma Dubai is renowned for its brunch offerings, which are known for their high-quality food, lively ambiance, and extensive selection of dishes and beverages. The brunches at Zuma Dubai are typically held on Fridays, as Friday brunch is a popular tradition in the United Arab Emirates. The brunch at Zuma Dubai often features a wide array of Japanese-inspired dishes, including sushi, sashimi, robata grilled items, tempura, and various other hot and cold dishes. Additionally, there are typically dessert stations with an assortment of sweet treats to indulge in. The beverage offerings at Zuma Dubai brunches are also extensive, with options ranging from champagne and cocktails to sake and other premium spirits. Zuma Dubai's brunches are known for their vibrant atmosphere, with live music or DJs adding to the energetic ambiance.

     London, UK

     Queen of Sheba is a restaurant in London, UK.

624. Celebrity Cruises

     Miami, United States

     Celebrity Cruises combines contemporary ship design with a broad range of dining, entertainment and shore experiences. Its itineraries connect ports across several regions, allowing travellers to choose between destination-focused voyages and sailings with more time to enjoy the ship. The atmosphere is modern and sociable, with public spaces designed to offer different moods throughout the day. The Edge-class ships express this approach particularly clearly. Their outward-facing spaces bring the sea into the experience, while the cantilevered Magic Carpet provides an unusual setting for drinks and dining when positioned for those uses. Restaurants range from main dining rooms to speciality venues, and accommodation extends from staterooms to suites within The Retreat, which includes dedicated facilities for its guests. Pools, fitness areas, spas and entertainment venues create a varied programme between ports, while shore excursions connect passengers with local food, landscapes and cultural sights. Facilities differ by ship, so the vessel is an important consideration alongside the route. Celebrity suits travellers who enjoy having a substantial choice of activities and restaurants available, while retaining the option of a quiet corner, a sea view or a day spent exploring independently ashore.

625. La Bodega Negra

     London, UK

     La Bodega Negra is a restaurant in London, UK.

626. Toko Sari

     Netherlands

     Toko Sari is an Indonesian restaurant in Stadskanaal, in the north-east of the Netherlands, trading from Beneluxlaan 7. Its own website presents it as a place for authentic Indonesian dishes, snacks, herbs and catering, with the business currently operating as an order-and-pick-up/delivery style outlet rather than a full-service dining room. The site also shows that the restaurant is closed on Mondays and Sundays, with service concentrated from Tuesday to Saturday. The menu is built around complete meat, chicken and vegetarian meals served with rice, vegetables, atjar, kroepoek, tempeh and tofu. Signature dishes listed online include smoor rund, rendang, kip rendang, kip kuning, kip masala and garnalen, alongside nasi rames, bami rames and nasi koening. Customers can also order satay chicken, sandwiches with rendang or chicken, and dishes sold by weight for more flexible portions. The kitchen description suggests a practical, freshly prepared style of service. Toko Sari says meals are made daily, that items may sell out during the day because fresh produce is used, and that food is packed in microwave-safe containers so it can be reheated at home. It also offers warm local delivery, collection, and a range of drinks including cappuccino, coffee, tea and seasonal Indonesian drinks such as tjendol and es shanghai on Saturdays. Overall, Toko Sari appears to be a compact neighbourhood Indonesian takeaway with a broad menu and some dine-in-adjacent flexibility through collection and delivery. The range of rice meals, soups, noodle dishes, sambal chicken and self-assembled menus points to a kitchen designed for varied everyday orders rather than a narrow specialist concept. Its Stadskanaal setting, straightforward service model and emphasis on freshly prepared food give it the character of a local Indonesian toko with restaurant functions.

627. The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur

     Udaipur, India

     The Oberoi Udaivilas occupies landscaped grounds on the shore of Lake Pichola, facing the palaces and waterfront of Udaipur. Domes, courtyards and covered walkways draw on Rajasthan's architectural traditions, creating a hotel that unfolds through a series of intimate spaces. Water features and gardens soften the scale of the buildings and encourage unhurried exploration. Rooms combine a restrained natural palette with local patterns, colourful textiles and marble bathrooms. Views vary between gardens, pools and the City Palace, so the category chosen shapes the experience. Selected rooms open from private terraces into semi-private pools, while larger suites provide separate living areas and their own swimming pools. The arrangement brings water close to the accommodation without making every room identical. Restaurants present Indian and international cooking, with terraces and dining spaces that make use of the lakeside setting. A spa, swimming pools and gardens give guests reasons to remain within the grounds, while the old city's temples, lanes and palace complex offer a contrasting day out. The combination of Rajasthani detail and a broad waterfront setting is the defining feature of a stay here.

628. Fratelli Figurato

     Madrid, Spain

     Fratelli Figurato is a Madrid restaurant group built around Neapolitan Italian cooking, with its main pizzeria at Calle Alonso Cano 37, 28006 Madrid. The official site presents this branch as a small, welcoming room shaped to recall a neighbourhood pizzeria in Naples, and it is one of three Madrid addresses operating under the same name. That clear branch identity helps distinguish the Alonso Cano site from the group’s other, differently pitched venues. At Alonso Cano, the emphasis is on classic Neapolitan pizza, supported by the wider brand’s focus on Italian food. The branch page also provides access to the menu and reservations, indicating a straightforward restaurant format rather than a larger mixed-use venue. Its character appears deliberately compact and local, with the site’s own wording pointing to a room designed for casual dining rather than formal service or expansive facilities. The group’s second Madrid branch, Trattoria Popolare at Calle Larra 13, 28004 Madrid, broadens the offer with fresh handmade pasta prepared daily alongside Neapolitan pizza. Its official page describes a setting surrounded by green plants, giving it a more enclosed and atmospheric feel than the pizzeria on Alonso Cano. The branch keeps the same Italian core while shifting towards a trattoria style of dining and presentation. A third site, Pizzeria Friggitoria on Avenida de Filipinas 14, 28003 Madrid, extends the concept again with fried dishes, oven-baked or fried Neapolitan pizza, and Italian beer. Read together, the official pages show a compact Madrid operation with three distinct formats: a small neighbourhood pizzeria, a plant-filled trattoria for pasta and pizza, and a more street-food-led address centred on fritti and pizza. That variety gives the brand a clearly defined but varied Italian profile across the city.

629. Wembley Stadium

     London, United Kingdom

     Wembley Stadium gives major sporting and musical events a setting defined by its broad seating bowl and the sweeping arch above the roof. Situated in north-west London, it is closely connected with England's footballing life while also accommodating large concerts and other occasions. The approach through Wembley Park builds a sense of anticipation as the stadium comes into view. The venue has 90,000 seats, with the configuration and atmosphere changing according to the event. Football places the pitch at the centre of attention, while concert staging can transform the floor and alter the relationship between performers and audience. Hospitality areas and suites provide additional ways to attend, but the main experience is the shared energy of a substantial crowd within one continuous arena. Stadium tours offer a different perspective when available, introducing visitors to spaces normally associated with players and event operations. The surrounding district includes hotels, restaurants and transport connections, making it possible to turn a fixture or performance into a longer outing. Wembley rewards planning around the specific event and seating layout, with time allowed to absorb the atmosphere before the programme begins and to navigate the busy departure afterwards.

634. Handshake Speakeasy

     Mexico City, Mexico

     Handshake Speakeasy sits within NH Collection Mexico City Reforma in the Juárez neighbourhood, behind the bustle of the streets around Amberes. Its two bar spaces share a taste for low lighting and intimate conversation, with dark finishes and theatrical curtains creating the sense of stepping into a room apart. The atmosphere draws on the visual language of the speakeasy while the drinks look firmly towards contemporary technique. Cocktails are developed with a culinary approach, including clarification and extended preparation in a dedicated laboratory. A piña colada can arrive clear and light in texture, challenging expectations without losing its familiar flavour. Martinis and other recognisable forms provide further starting points, while inventive combinations encourage guests to consider aroma, temperature and texture alongside the base spirit. Upstairs and downstairs have distinct moods, with the basement generally offering a more energetic soundtrack. Both place the interaction with the team at the heart of the visit, making personal preferences a useful guide through the menu. Reservations are sensible for this compact, sought-after address. Handshake is particularly rewarding for drinkers who enjoy the surprise of a technically elaborate cocktail presented with restraint.

635. Raffles Singapore

     Singapore

     Raffles Singapore has welcomed travellers since 1887, and a stay here gives the city’s hotel history a tangible setting. The Beach Road landmark retains the architectural character of a grand nineteenth-century address while providing the comforts expected of a contemporary hotel. Its 115 suites combine generous proportions and period details with modern amenities. Butler service adds practical assistance, making the accommodation suited to travellers who appreciate a more personal and deliberate style of hospitality. Dining gives residents and visitors several ways to experience the property. Tiffin Room serves North Indian cooking in a setting connected with the hotel since 1892, while Butcher’s Block focuses on wood-fire cuisine. Afternoon tea in the Grand Lobby and drinks at the Writers Bar or Long Bar offer different reasons to linger. An outdoor pool, spa and fitness facilities allow for quieter intervals between outings. Raffles particularly rewards guests interested in a hotel as a destination, with enough history and variety to make time on the premises part of the itinerary.

636. Air France Business Class

     Roissy-en-France, France

     Air France's long haul Business Class brings the airline's French identity into the cabin through its menus, wines and considered details. The seat is designed to move between dining, working and sleeping positions, becoming a fully flat bed when rest takes priority. Dark blue bedding and a soft pillow give the personal space a restrained, comfortable feel rather than an overtly decorative one. In the newer cabin design, a sliding door provides additional privacy, while the divider between central seats can be lowered for passengers travelling together. A personal entertainment screen offers films, music and programmes, and power connections keep devices charged. Meals are developed with established chefs, accompanied by a wine selection that is part of the broader French dining approach. Comfort items include a skincare amenity kit and slippers. Cabin layout and the presence of doors depend on the aircraft and its configuration. Travellers should check the particular seat map, especially when comparing newer suites with other Business Class seats or connecting onto a shorter flight. SkyPriority services provide dedicated airport processes, while access to Business lounges creates space to eat, work or relax before boarding. These ground services complement the quieter pace of the long haul cabin.

637. Papparich

     Australia

     Papparich is a restaurant in Australia.

638. Baha Mar

     Nassau, Bahamas

     Baha Mar brings together three hotels on Cable Beach in Nassau: Grand Hyatt, SLS and Rosewood. Each has a different design and atmosphere, while shared facilities create a substantial resort around them. The beachfront location is central to the experience, with pools, gardens and dining areas linking the accommodation to the water. The choice of hotel shapes the stay, from room style and service to the mood of the public spaces. Beyond the rooms, guests can use an extensive range of restaurants, wellness facilities and sports activities. Baha Bay waterpark, a golf course and the resort’s art programme provide further ways to spend the day, making the property suitable for travelling parties with varied interests. The casino is distinguished by large windows looking towards the sea, keeping the Bahamian setting visible within the gaming space. It offers table games, slots and a sportsbook, with restaurants and nightlife close by. Baha Mar’s appeal lies in this combination of a beach holiday and a large resort programme, with enough variation between the three hotels to make the accommodation choice meaningful.

639. Grace Hotel Infinity Pool

     Imerovigli, Greece

     Grace Hotel's infinity pool faces the Santorini caldera from Imerovigli, where white terraces meet a wide sweep of volcanic cliffs and sea. The pool is integrated into the hotel's stepped hillside setting, giving swimmers an uninterrupted outward view. Its appeal lies in the proportions of the scene: a clear foreground of water, the darker caldera below and the changing colours of the Aegean sky. The twenty-two-metre pool provides space to swim as well as linger, with loungers and poolside food and drink service extending the experience onto the terrace. Different times of day bring different moods, from the detail of the cliffs in clear daylight to softer colours later on. The infinity edge makes the pool feel closely aligned with the sea, despite its elevated position above it. Access is included for hotel guests, and the pool forms part of a stay that can also include dining, wellness and excursions around the island. Imerovigli offers a useful base for exploring Santorini's caldera villages. Returning to the water afterwards provides a quieter way to appreciate the same landscape, with the view holding attention long after a swim ends.

644. Ballroom at Claridge’s

     London, United Kingdom

     With its own entrance on Brook Street, the Ballroom at Claridge’s gives a private occasion a distinct arrival within Mayfair. The ground-floor room is defined by Art Deco detailing, from mirrored surfaces and handcrafted chandeliers to gilded columns. Restoration brought its three-tiered ceiling and decorative features back into focus, preserving the architectural character that makes the setting recognisable. The ballroom covers 243.5 square metres and can be arranged for dinners, receptions, conferences and smaller business gatherings. An adjoining Mirror Room and additional breakout space allow the event to extend beyond the main hall. This makes it possible to separate drinks, conversation or supporting activities from a presentation or seated meal, while keeping the occasion within a coherent group of rooms. Contemporary sound, lighting and ventilation systems sit behind the period appearance. A personal events manager and dedicated team help shape the room’s configuration and practical arrangements around the gathering. For weddings or celebrations that bring guests to London, Claridge’s accommodation, restaurants and Mayfair address provide the surrounding stay. The ballroom’s strength is its combination of preserved design, a private entrance and flexible supporting space.

645. Air France

     Roissy-en-France, France

     Air France links Paris with an international network, placing French design and culinary traditions at the centre of its passenger experience. For many travellers, the journey begins or connects at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, where the airline's operation brings European and long-haul flights together. Paris can therefore serve as a destination in its own right or as the starting point for a wider itinerary. The airline offers several travel cabins, with Economy, Premium, Business and La Première available according to aircraft and route. Long-haul Business seating is designed around rest and personal space, while La Première provides a more private experience on selected services. Cabin products continue to vary across the fleet, making the precise aircraft and seat map relevant when comparing flights. Dining is a particularly strong expression of the airline's identity, supported by menus developed with French culinary expertise and a considered drinks selection. Flying Blue connects eligible journeys with Miles, status recognition and partner rewards. Lounges at the Paris hub extend the experience for qualifying passengers. Air France's distinctive quality is the continuity of its French character across airport and cabin, alongside the practical reach of a major European network.

646. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Fujairah

     Fujairah, United Arab Emirates

     Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Fujairah gives the emirate's main city a substantial architectural landmark, with clustered white domes and tall minarets visible across the surrounding streets. The building's broad courtyards and formal landscaping create space around the prayer halls, allowing its proportions and layered roofline to be appreciated from several approaches. White marble and granite establish a restrained exterior palette, while the interior introduces more detailed decoration and a different sense of scale. The dome arrangement and repeated arches give the complex an Ottoman character, distinguishing it from the better-known mosque of the same name in Abu Dhabi. Its architecture is designed around the requirements of congregational worship, so the large spaces also have a clear practical purpose. The mosque welcomes visitors through the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre's cultural arrangements, alongside its daily religious life. A visit offers insight into the role of a major mosque within the emirate and provides a complementary experience to Fujairah's forts, museum and coastal landscapes. Modest clothing and respect for worshippers are expected. Taking time to view the exterior before entering helps reveal the building's balanced relationship between domes, minarets and open ground.

647. La Colombe

     South Africa

     La Colombe approaches dining as a carefully staged sequence of surprises. At its Constantia restaurant, executive chef James Gaag’s menus move between seafood, game, vegetables and playful desserts, giving a meal the rhythm of a performance. Signature tuna appears alongside changing combinations such as quail with langoustine and sweetcorn, or coal-fired lamb with tomato and rosemary. These dishes show a kitchen interested in both familiar ingredients and unexpected pairings. A dedicated vegetarian menu follows its own route, with creations including beetroot, tandoori-spiced cauliflower and wild-mushroom preparations. The same attention to progression extends through the final courses, which may draw on childhood food memories. La Colombe suits diners willing to set aside time and follow the kitchen’s choices. The menu formats provide a clear structure while leaving room for the element of surprise that has become central to the restaurant’s identity.

648. Baoshuan

     New Delhi, India

     Baoshuan is a restaurant in New Delhi, India.

649. The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman

     Seven Mile Beach, Cayman Islands

     The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman offers wedding venues on Seven Mile Beach and within a substantial resort setting. The combination of pale sand, landscaped grounds and formal indoor spaces allows the day to move between different moods. Couples can make the sea the central backdrop or choose a garden ceremony followed by an indoor reception. The Great Lawn provides an open-air gathering place, while the Cayman Islands Royal Ballroom brings a more structured setting for dinner and dancing. Terraces and smaller event spaces add flexibility around drinks, welcome occasions and other gatherings. The planning team helps coordinate menus, table settings, flowers, photography and entertainment, with the arrangements shaped around the chosen venue and guest list. Rooms and suites allow guests to remain close to the celebration, while the resort’s restaurants, spa, pools and activities give them options between scheduled events. This range is useful when a wedding brings together people with different interests or several generations of a family. The property suits a celebration that combines the recognisable setting of Seven Mile Beach with the practical support and variety of an established resort.

650. One&Only The Palm

     United Arab Emirates

     One&Only The Palm brings Andalucian-inspired architecture and gardens to a private stretch of sand on Palm Jumeirah. Rooms, suites and villas give guests different ways to stay within this comparatively intimate Dubai beach resort. Three pools and cabanas provide alternatives to the shore. Guerlain Spa adds treatments shaped by the French beauty house, while private cruises and guided Arabian horse rides extend the experience beyond the grounds. Dining has three distinct directions: STAY by Yannick Alléno serves French cuisine, Zest offers Italian flavours and Neapolitan-style pizza beside the pool, and waterfront 101 concentrates on seafood with French-Mediterranean influences. The range makes it easy to give the resort itself a substantial part of a Dubai stay.

651. Bequia Beach Hotel

     Friendship Bay, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

     Bequia Beach Hotel sits beside Friendship Bay on the island of Bequia, with tropical gardens rising gently behind the sand. The family owned property has a relaxed, traditional character, bringing together classic rooms, beachfront suites, cottages and larger villas. The range allows couples and families to choose between a straightforward room near the resort's shared spaces and accommodation with more independence. The bay is the natural centre of a stay. A seawater infinity pool and freshwater pools provide alternatives to the beach, while the spa, fitness facilities and tennis court add variety. Views towards the Grenadines help place the hotel within the wider island landscape, and boat trips offer opportunities to explore beyond Bequia. The setting encourages long intervals simply spent on the waterfront. Bagatelle serves meals on open verandas beside Friendship Beach, with Caribbean flavours and local ingredients shaping the cooking. Blue Tropic adds Italian influenced dining during its season. The hotel's wider dining connections include Jack's Beach Bar on Princess Margaret Beach, reached across the island rather than within the grounds. This combination of a quiet beachfront base, varied accommodation and access to Bequia's small scale island life gives the property its distinctive appeal.

652. Cozumel

     Cozumel, Mexico

     Cozumel lies off Mexico's Caribbean coast, with a diving scene shaped by coral formations, clear water and the currents along its western shore. The island forms part of the wider Mesoamerican Reef environment, and many of its recognised sites fall within Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park. Its established hotels and dive operators make it possible to combine an island stay with a substantial underwater programme. Palancar and Columbia offer varied coral structures, including gardens, pinnacles and deeper sections, while Santa Rosa Wall provides a more dramatic drop-off. Drift diving is a characteristic experience, with the current carrying divers along the reef. Fish, turtles, rays and other marine life add interest, although sightings and conditions vary between sites and visits. The choice of daily route should reflect experience, weather and current conditions, with authorised local operators helping to match divers to suitable sites. Between trips, the island offers beaches, coastal scenery and restaurants around San Miguel. Cozumel works particularly well for travellers seeking several days of diving without giving up the practical comforts of a developed destination, with enough variety underwater to make repeated boat outings feel distinct.

653. Shanghai New International Expo Centre

     Shanghai, China

     Shanghai New International Expo Centre is a purpose-built exhibition campus in Pudong, with large ground-level halls arranged around an extensive outdoor area. The layout supports international trade fairs that need generous space for displays, demonstrations and visitor circulation. Its scale becomes apparent during major events, when several halls take on different themes within a single industry gathering. The venue combines covered exhibition space with open-air areas that can accommodate outdoor exhibits or supporting activities. Multiple entrance halls help organise arrivals, while meeting rooms and event services allow conferences and business appointments to run alongside the main show. The straightforward hall arrangement is practical for substantial installations and for visitors planning a route between exhibitors. The centre's Longyang Road address places it within Pudong's transport network, with road and rail options connecting it to the wider city. Checking the nominated entrance and hall before arrival helps avoid unnecessary walking across the campus. A visit here is shaped by the exhibition programme rather than permanent visitor attractions, but it offers a clear view of Shanghai's role as a meeting place for international industry, design and commerce.

654. Blue Elephant

     St Julian’s, Malta

     Blue Elephant is a Thai restaurant in St Julian’s, Malta, based at Hilton Malta in Portomaso. The operator’s Malta page identifies it as part of the Blue Elephant restaurant network, and Hilton Malta’s dining page presents it as a hotel restaurant on the property. Together, those sources establish the specific branch and setting rather than a generic independent venue, with the restaurant positioned for evening dining in one of the area’s principal seafront hotels. The restaurant is styled as a Thai village, using huts, waterfalls, vivid colours and dense greenery to create an immersive atmosphere. The official descriptions emphasise an oasis-like setting rather than a standard hotel dining room, while an established Maltese dining listing refers to private huts and a landscaped environment. This gives the branch a more theatrical character, with the décor forming a central part of the experience alongside the food. Blue Elephant’s menu focuses on Thai cuisine, with salads, soups, meat dishes and seafood featured on the Malta page. That same page includes four set menus, offering a guided choice for diners who prefer a structured meal. Hilton Malta describes the menu as combining tradition, contemporary Thai classics and more inventive dishes, indicating a mix of familiar regional dishes and a wider interpretation of Thai cooking within the St Julian’s branch. The Maltese listing also records service options such as private dining, outdoor seating, takeaway and free Wi‑Fi. It notes that the restaurant can accommodate intimate meals as well as private parties and conference dinners, which suggests a flexible layout and a function-friendly operation inside the hotel. Overall, Blue Elephant in St Julian’s is presented as a polished Thai restaurant where atmosphere, reserved spaces and a composed evening format are as important as the menu itself.

656. Huda Kattan (Huda Beauty)

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Huda Kattan combines the work of a make-up artist, digital creator and beauty entrepreneur. Her tutorials and demonstrations focus on the visible process of applying make-up, using close-up presentation to explain techniques, textures and the effect of different products. The approach makes experimentation central, with beauty treated as a form of personal expression as well as a practical skill. Her Dubai-based brand, Huda Beauty, grew from that relationship with an online audience. The current range includes foundations, concealers, powders, lip products and eye make-up, alongside tools and accessories. Product demonstrations connect these collections with her wider educational content, allowing viewers to see how colour, finish and application work together in a complete look. Kattan’s professional profile also includes speaking about the development of her business and the experience of building a beauty company from Dubai. Her official platforms bring the creative and commercial sides together, from short application tips to discussions of the thinking behind a product. For an audience interested in beauty and digital entrepreneurship, the distinctive element is the continuity between the person demonstrating a technique and the company developing the materials used to create it.

657. Austria Center Vienna

     Vienna, Austria

     Austria Center Vienna occupies a spacious setting beside the Vienna International Centre, within the city's modern district north of the Danube. Its proximity to the United Nations offices gives international conferences a fitting context, while rail connections make central Vienna accessible beyond the working day. The venue is organised around numerous halls, meeting rooms and gathering areas rather than a single dominant auditorium. This arrangement allows organisers to build programmes with several simultaneous strands. Large combinable halls can accommodate plenary presentations, exhibitions or gala dinners, while smaller rooms suit workshops, interviews and private meetings. Many meeting spaces receive daylight, and terraces offer additional room for breaks. The polySTAGE digital installation in the entrance hall adds a distinctive visual element and can support event-specific content. For delegates, the breadth of adjoining spaces reduces the need to travel between separate venues during a complicated programme. Step-free routes and adaptable room layouts add practical flexibility, while nearby hotels support multi-day stays. Away from the sessions, the Danube district offers open-air possibilities and the historic centre provides a contrasting setting for cultural visits and evening meals, making the venue a useful base for combining business with time in Vienna.

658. Nobu

     Bahamas

     Nobu at Atlantis Paradise Island sits within the Atlantis Casino, bringing Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese cooking with Peruvian and European influences to the Bahamian resort. Sushi and sashimi share the menu with the group's familiar signatures, including black cod with miso and wagyu beef. A sake cellar adds a dedicated drinks element. The restaurant operates as a dinner venue, with a resort-casual dress code and reservations encouraged. Its position beside the casino places it within Atlantis's evening dining and entertainment circuit. Families with very young children are accommodated during the earlier part of service.

661. Shinji by Kanesaka

     Singapore

     Shinji by Kanesaka is an Edo-style sushi omakase restaurant in Singapore, located in the lobby of The St. Regis Singapore at 29 Tanglin Road. The restaurant presents itself as an extension of Master Chef Shinji Kanesaka’s Tokyo lineage, connected to his sushi practice in Ginza. Its own history places the Singapore venture in 2010 as his first project outside Japan, while the current operation is centred on this St. Regis address as its singular base in the city. The format is focused on omakase, with the meal shaped by the chefs rather than built from a broad conventional menu. The published menu lists several lunch courses, including Omakase Yume, Tsuki and Yuki, while dinner includes Omakase Wa, Omakase Shin and Sushi Edomae. Seasonal seafood and produce sit at the core of that approach. The restaurant also states that ingredients are curated from Japan, with fish from Toyosu Fish Market air-flown to Singapore several times a week. The dining room draws on traditional Japanese architectural references to create a restrained, carefully composed setting. According to the restaurant, the design includes koushido lattice panels, shouji-style window panes and a kawara roof detail. A stone pathway leads diners towards two private rooms named Sakura and Icho, allowing for more secluded meals alongside counter seating. The restaurant also retains the original hinoki counter from its former Raffles Hotel setting, carrying an element of that earlier Singapore chapter into the present room. The overall experience is built around a concentrated sushi meal rather than a wide-ranging restaurant repertoire. Courses are prepared in front of diners, keeping attention on sequence, timing and seasonality. The restaurant describes its service through the Japanese idea of omotenashi, emphasising attentive hospitality and formality in the way the meal is presented. Reservations are handled directly by telephone, WhatsApp and email, reinforcing a service style that remains personal, chef-led and deliberately intimate in character.

662. Verdura Resort

     Sciacca, Italy

     Verdura Resort occupies a broad stretch of Sicily's southern coast near Sciacca, where low buildings sit among gardens and golf courses facing the Mediterranean. Rooms, suites and villas emphasise outdoor living, with balconies, terraces or private pools according to category. The architecture and open grounds make the sea a recurring presence rather than a view reserved for a single part of the property. Golf centres on two championship courses and a shorter nine-hole course designed by Kyle Phillips. Coastal winds, broad fairways and the changing light over the water shape the experience. The variety supports a stay built around several rounds, while practice and sporting facilities provide further ways to spend time outdoors. It is a setting where the course and the wider resort share the same spacious character. Dining draws on Sicilian ingredients and produce from the resort's farm, with restaurants offering different interpretations of the island's food. Irene Forte Spa adds treatments and wellness facilities, and the resort also accommodates family activities and other sports. The combination suits a golf holiday with enough variety to include companions whose interests lie elsewhere.

663. Black Bear BBQ

     Australia

     Black Bear BBQ is a restaurant in Australia.

664. Rosetta

     Mexico

     Rosetta is Elena Reygadas' flagship restaurant in Mexico City's Roma neighbourhood, occupying a large mansion on Calle Colima. Its à la carte menu changes with the seasons and available produce, with vegetables playing a substantial role in the kitchen's work. Dishes are designed for sharing. Savoy-cabbage tacos with pistachio pipián and romeritos illustrate the restaurant's inventive use of plants, while sweet-potato tamal combines salsa macha and buttermilk. The menu moves between Reygadas' own creations and more traditional dishes. Upstairs, Salón Rosetta provides a small bar within the same building.

665. Six Senses Zighy Bay Pool Villas

     Dibba, Oman

     Six Senses Zighy Bay's pool villas sit between the mountains of Oman's Musandam Peninsula and a broad stretch of beach. The resort takes its cues from a local village, with stone walls, timber and sandy paths rather than a single hotel block. Each villa creates an enclosed outdoor world, balancing the dramatic surroundings with a strong sense of privacy. The one-bedroom Pool Villa combines a sleeping and living area beneath high ceilings, opening onto a sand garden and private swimming pool. Mountain-stone walls shelter sun loungers, an outdoor dining area and a shower, while the interiors use natural textures and colourful cushions. Beachfront categories place guests closer to the shore, and larger villas and retreats provide additional bedrooms and shared living space. The wider resort gives guests several ways to explore the setting, including water activities, mountain excursions and treatments at the spa. Dining draws on both regional and international influences, with experiences ranging from relaxed beach meals to elevated views over the bay. The villa format is central to the appeal, offering a quiet base that makes the contrast between rugged mountain scenery and the sheltered coast particularly tangible.

666. Zayed International Airport

     Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

     Zayed International Airport introduces Abu Dhabi through an expansive terminal whose sweeping roof recalls the forms of the surrounding desert. Terminal A was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox around a modified X-shaped plan, bringing the departure hall and its concourses into a single architectural composition. Broad glazed surfaces and high internal spaces give arrivals and departures a sense of scale before passengers reach their gates. The building's layout places particular emphasis on the movement of people connecting between flights. Skylights help mark routes towards gates and amenities, while the roof provides continuity across the terminal. Its architecture is most evident in the main public spaces, where the height of the departure hall contrasts with the more intimate settings of shops and restaurants. For travellers, the practical appeal is the range of facilities within that structure. Dining, shopping and passenger services are organised through an interactive terminal map, with UAE-inspired gifts available at The Souq. Choices and access vary between terminal areas, so the departure gate remains the useful starting point when planning time at the airport. The overall experience combines a substantial international transport hub with an architectural introduction to the Emirati capital.

667. Pebble Beach Golf Links

     Pebble Beach, United States

     Pebble Beach Golf Links traces the edge of California's Monterey Peninsula, moving between inland fairways and holes directly above the Pacific. The coastline gives the course its visual identity, particularly where small greens sit beside cliffs and surf. Its championship history adds context, but the everyday attraction is the opportunity to play a public course so closely shaped by its setting. The short seventh hole stands on a rocky point, while the eighth demands an approach across a coastal inlet. Later, the eighteenth follows the curve of the bay towards The Lodge. Between these landmarks, sloping fairways and compact putting surfaces require accuracy and restraint. Sea breezes can make club selection more complicated than the yardage suggests, and the inland holes provide their own demanding changes of pace. Reservations are managed through Pebble Beach Resorts, with different advance arrangements for resort guests and other visitors. Golf services, practice facilities and nearby restaurants support a full day on the property. Travellers can combine a round with the peninsula's coastal scenery, allowing enough time to experience the course without treating it simply as a succession of familiar photographs.

668. Five Guys

     New York, USA

     Five Guys is a restaurant in New York, USA.

669. Dassault Falcon 8X

     Saint-Cloud, France

     The Dassault Falcon 8X combines a long cabin with a distinctive three-engine airframe, creating an aircraft intended for extended international travel. The interior can be organised into three lounge areas, giving passengers separate settings for work, dining and relaxation. Large windows and adjustable lighting help the cabin adapt as a journey moves from daylight into evening. Dassault offers considerable freedom in the interior plan. Choices can include a larger galley, a crew rest area or an aft shower, depending on the priorities of the owner. A privacy suite provides another way to divide the cabin, with seating that can be converted for rest. The resulting atmosphere varies with the chosen upholstery, woodwork and furniture, but the underlying idea is to make a lengthy flight usable in several different ways. FalconConnect supports communications and entertainment, while passengers can manage aspects of their surroundings through personal devices. Behind the cabin, the aircraft combines digital flight controls with Dassault's EASy flight deck. For a travelling party, the 8X's main attraction is the scope to balance shared living space with quieter corners, especially on journeys where meetings, meals and sleep need to fit within the same flight.

670. Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler - Brunico

     Brunico, Italy

671. Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort Villas

     Soufrière, Saint Lucia

     Sugar Beach’s villas occupy a wooded valley between Saint Lucia’s Pitons, with the mountain slopes giving the resort an unusually dramatic setting. The accommodation sits within the gardens above the shore, allowing the landscape to remain part of the experience even when guests are spending time at their own villa. Paths and resort transport connect the rooms with the beach and shared facilities. The Luxury Villa collection combines pale interiors with private outdoor space and plunge pools. Terraces provide room for breakfast or a quiet afternoon, while different categories add larger living areas and alternative bedroom arrangements. The design favours bright rooms, traditional architectural details and a clear separation between indoor comfort and the surrounding tropical greenery. Butler service supports the practical details of a stay, and guests can move between the privacy of their accommodation and the resort’s restaurants, beach activities and Rainforest Spa. The wider Soufrière area offers opportunities to explore Saint Lucia’s volcanic landscape and coastline. These villas suit travellers who want a private pool and a sheltered retreat, while retaining the dining and facilities of a substantial beachfront resort.

672. Musée d'Orsay

     Paris, France

     The Musée d'Orsay occupies a former railway station beside the Seine, opposite the Tuileries gardens. Built for the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900, the building retains the long nave and dramatic volume of its original purpose. That architectural setting gives a visit an immediate connection to the changing city depicted in many of the works on display. The collections explore artistic production between 1848 and 1914, with Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting forming a particularly recognisable thread. Sculpture, photography, decorative arts and architectural drawings place those paintings within a wider account of the period. Moving between the central hall and adjoining galleries reveals how industrial development, urban life and new approaches to colour and form reshaped visual culture. There is scope for both a focused visit and a slower exploration across several media. Audio and guided visits provide additional context, while the museum's cafés and restaurant offer places to pause within the historic building. The upper levels bring a different perspective on the former station and its riverside surroundings. With the Seine immediately outside, the museum fits naturally into a walk connecting the Left Bank with central Paris.

673. Hélène Darroze at The Connaught

     United Kingdom

     Hélène Darroze at The Connaught draws on the chef’s south-western French heritage and longstanding relationships with producers. Its Mayfair dining experience follows the seasons, with tasting menus and a lunch-only à la carte option. Provenance is part of the menu’s structure, identifying the people and places behind key ingredients. A recent autumn menu pairs Isle of Mull lobster with tandoori spices, carrot and citrus, while Brittany pigeon meets beetroot, blackberry and mole poblano. The signature baba brings Darroze Armagnac into dessert. Wine pairings range from emerging producers to established regions and rare vintages; a non-alcoholic alternative uses seasonal produce, herbs, spices and teas to follow the courses.

674. China Tang

     London, UK

     China Tang is a Cantonese restaurant at The Dorchester, 53 Park Lane, Mayfair, London W1K 1QA. Its official site places it within the hotel and presents the venue as opening in 2005, with an Art Deco entrance on Park Lane and an atmospheric basement dining room. The result is a hotel restaurant with a strong identity of its own, set in central London but styled to evoke pre-war Shanghai rather than a conventional street-side brasserie. The kitchen centres on classical Cantonese cooking and offers dim sum alongside an all-day à la carte menu. Signature dishes named on the official site include lobster noodles, golden prawns with salted egg yolk, Ma Po tofu, Yu Xiang aubergine, char siu and Peking duck. Vegetarian and halal options are also available, allowing the menu to cover both familiar regional staples and a broader range of dining preferences within the same format. A separate bar forms part of the venue and is described as a 1930s-inspired space influenced by Sir David Tang’s living room. It serves cocktails and mocktails, while the restaurant’s wider drinks lists include wine and champagne. The bar also offers the restaurant menus, so guests can drink and dine in one connected setting rather than treating it as a simple waiting area or an isolated lounge. For private occasions, China Tang provides three hireable rooms named Ping, Pang and Pong. The official private dining page says these spaces can host set-menu meals and event-style gatherings, with the bar available to support those bookings. Together with the main room, this gives the restaurant a layered layout that suits both regular dining and more formal, enclosed occasions without losing the visual character of the wider venue.

675. Selene

     Santorini, Greece

     Selene is a fine-dining restaurant in Fira Town on Santorini, presented on its official website as a long-established part of the island’s dining scene. The restaurant traces its beginnings to Giorgos Hatzigiannakis in the mid-1980s and now names chef Ettore Botrini and wine director Yiannis Karakasis MW among the figures shaping the experience. Selene also states that it occupies premises that formerly housed an 18th-century Catholic monastery, giving the restaurant a setting tied to the island’s layered history. The cooking is described through a distinctly Santorinian lens, with the restaurant emphasising Greek cuisine, local ingredients and the culinary traditions of the island. Rather than a casual drop-in format, Selene presents a structured dining experience through degustation menus, allowing dishes to be served as a considered sequence. This approach gives the meal a deliberate rhythm and places Santorini’s produce and gastronomic identity at the centre, with the menu designed to express the island’s character in a contemporary restaurant setting. Wine has a substantial role within the restaurant’s identity. Selene’s official material highlights a cellar and selection with a strong Santorini emphasis, including its own signature wine, Selene Santorini Cuvée Privée, alongside bottles intended to complement the food. The wine programme is not limited to pairings at the table: the restaurant also promotes dedicated wine-tasting experiences linked to Selene Antique Caves. In addition, its Vedema concept is presented as a gathering point for producers, island gastronomy and the culture of Santorini wine. Taken together, these elements define Selene as a restaurant where heritage, cuisine and wine are closely interwoven. The historic former-monastery premises provide a distinctive backdrop, while the food is framed around Greek cooking and Santorini traditions rather than generic international fine dining. The presence of a named chef and Master of Wine underlines a dual focus on the plate and in the glass. For diners in Fira, Selene is characterised by a composed, place-led experience rooted in Santorini’s produce, makers and longstanding food culture.

676. Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort occupies the eastern crescent of Palm Jumeirah, with a beach facing the Arabian Gulf and low-rise buildings arranged around swimming lagoons. Thai architectural influences give the resort a recognisable identity, from steeply pitched roofs to the arrangement of gardens and water. The atmosphere is shaped by outdoor living, with several ways to spend time beside or above the water. Rooms offer balconies or terraces, and selected categories provide direct access to a lagoon. Beach pool villas add private swimming space, while overwater villas extend the accommodation out over the Gulf. Apartments provide another option for longer or family stays. The spa includes hammam facilities for women and men, alongside treatment rooms and wellness experiences, with a fitness centre supporting regular exercise. Dining ranges from Asian dishes at Mekong to other restaurants across the property. Kayaking, paddleboarding and children's clubs add variety to days spent around the pools or beach. The resort suits travellers who want spa time within a broader coastal holiday, with enough choice for companions to follow different routines. Its combination of lagoons, beach accommodation and overwater villas makes the relationship with water particularly distinctive.

677. Jumby Bay Island

     Jumby Bay Island, Antigua and Barbuda

     Jumby Bay Island lies just off Antigua, with white-sand beaches, open lawns and tropical planting surrounding a small collection of cottages, villas and private estates. Reached by boat, the island encourages a slower pace, with bicycles providing a simple way to explore its paths and shoreline. Accommodation spans intimate cottages and more substantial homes, allowing the resort to work for couples, families and groups travelling together. Outdoor living is a consistent theme, with verandas, terraces and, in some categories, private pools. The cottages keep guests close to the central resort, while villas and estates offer greater separation and their own arrangements for hosting and dining. The island’s restaurants and bars combine Caribbean flavours with a broader international repertoire. A spa draws on West Indian traditions, and beaches, swimming pools and the watersports centre give the day a natural focus. Tennis, pickleball and activities for younger guests add further variety. Its fully inclusive approach links these facilities into a cohesive island stay, with the scale of accommodation determining how private or sociable the experience feels.

678. Oiji Mi

     New York, USA

     Oiji Mi is a contemporary Korean restaurant in Flatiron, Manhattan, at 17 West 19th Street in New York. Led by owner and executive chef Brian Kim, it presents a more polished continuation of the earlier Oiji concept, translating Korean flavours and references into a downtown restaurant setting. The focus is on a composed, modern dining experience rather than a casual stop-in, with distinct spaces for the main dining room and for the bar and lounge, each shaping the meal slightly differently. In the main dining room, service centres on a five-course prix-fixe menu. The bar and lounge provide more flexibility, with à la carte dishes as well as the option of the same five-course format. Current menus show the kitchen working with dishes such as beef tartare, gyeran-jjim, scallop, spicy barbecue squid, lobster ramyun, sea bass, lamb and galbi, though specific selections may vary. Drinks are treated as part of the experience too, spanning cocktails, low-ABV serves and non-alcoholic options alongside the food. The venue also accommodates different kinds of gatherings beyond a standard table booking. Reservations are accepted for the main dining room and the lounge, while bar seating is largely kept for walk-ins with only limited reservations available. For private events, Oiji Mi offers full buyouts, with the restaurant configured for up to 125 guests for a standing cocktail reception or 60 for a seated dinner. Those arrangements place it as both a destination for regular meals and a possible setting for hosted occasions. Its character is contemporary and measured, with a non-formal dress code rather than a strictly formal one. That balance gives the restaurant a polished feel without presenting itself as ceremonious. The structure of the dining room encourages a paced, set-menu experience, while the lounge and bar allow a more open-ended visit built around drinks and selected plates. Practical guidance from the restaurant also notes that children are welcome, and that soy-free, gluten-free, allium-free and vegan menus cannot be offered.

679. Lake-View Pools at The Oberoi Udaivilas

     Udaipur, India

     The lake-facing pools at The Oberoi Udaivilas bring swimming into the architectural language of Udaipur's palaces. Set above Lake Pichola, they combine views towards the City Palace with the resort's domes, courtyards and colonnaded walkways. The relationship between the pool water and the lake beyond creates a layered setting, particularly when the light softens across the city. Selected Premier City Palace View Rooms have access from a private courtyard to a semi-private pool. This arrangement allows guests to step directly from their accommodation into the water while retaining the social character of a shared swimming space. Larger suites offer their own pools, including lake-facing options, so the accommodation category determines both the level of privacy and the outlook. The pools sit within a resort of landscaped gardens and interiors inspired by Rajasthani design. Restaurants, yoga and spa treatments provide reasons to remain on site, while boat journeys and excursions connect guests with the city across the lake. Choosing specifically for this experience calls for a lake or City Palace view category: the resort also has garden-facing pools, which provide a different atmosphere without the same panorama.

680. Aquavit

     New York

     Aquavit is a Scandinavian restaurant at 65 East 55th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York, operating in Park Avenue Tower between Park and Madison Avenues. The restaurant’s own site identifies it as New York’s premier Nordic restaurant, while the Michelin Guide lists it as Scandinavian, contemporary dining. Its current official pages confirm that it is open for lunch and dinner service and that reservations are taken online or by telephone. The dining room centres on seasonal Nordic cooking presented through lunch and tasting menus, with a separate bar room offering its own menu. The kitchen emphasises seafood, preserved ingredients, cultured dairy and bright produce, reflecting a modern Scandinavian style rather than a broad pan-European approach. Michelin describes the room as sleek and anchored by an open kitchen, which suits the restaurant’s polished, contemporary character. Beyond the main dining room, Aquavit also provides a bar room and private dining spaces for smaller and larger gatherings. Its official private-dining information names the Linné Salon and Nobel Room, both equipped with screen, projector and Wi-Fi, and suitable for seated meals as well as receptions. The restaurant also states that it offers off-premise catering for events across Manhattan, extending its service beyond in-house dining. Practical details on the official site include smart-casual dress in the dining room, wheelchair access, air conditioning and credit card acceptance, alongside a wine list noted by Michelin. Taken together, these details place Aquavit as a structured fine-dining operation with a clear Nordic identity, designed for formal lunches, evening tasting menus and private events in central New York.

681. Cathay Membership

     Hong Kong, China

     Cathay membership combines airline recognition with the Asia Miles rewards currency, linking flights to a wider range of travel and lifestyle activity. Its Hong Kong base gives the programme a strong local identity, while Cathay Pacific's network and airline partnerships make it relevant to journeys across Asia and beyond. Members can build a balance through eligible travel and participating partners. Asia Miles are used for flight and lifestyle redemptions, while Status Points track progress through membership tiers. The two measures should be considered separately: one supports future rewards, while the other determines recognition and applicable travel privileges. Flight awards, upgrades and selected non-flight options create several ways to use a balance, with availability and eligibility varying by product and itinerary. Green, Silver, Gold and Diamond membership provide different levels of benefits, including airport services and lounge access where the conditions are met. The programme also extends into shopping, dining and hotel activity, reflecting Cathay's broader lifestyle approach. Its usefulness depends on how well those partners fit a member's routine. For travellers who frequently pass through Hong Kong, it offers a way to connect repeated journeys with both future redemptions and a more familiar airport experience.

682. Mocotó

     São Paulo, Brazil

     Mocotó is a restaurant in São Paulo, Brazil.

683. At the Top, Burj Khalifa

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     At the Top places visitors high above Downtown Dubai, turning the city's towers, roads and coastline into a broad urban panorama. The observation experience occupies levels 124 and 125 of Burj Khalifa, with other ticket categories providing access to additional upper levels. Its appeal lies in seeing the relationship between the dense centre of Dubai and the wider city spreading towards the coast and desert. Glazed viewing areas and outdoor observation space offer different perspectives on the skyline. From this height, individual landmarks become part of a larger pattern of waterways, neighbourhoods and transport routes. The experience changes with daylight and visibility, so the view on any visit depends on conditions as well as the time chosen. The ascent itself forms part of the encounter with the building's scale. Entry is reached through Dubai Mall, making the attraction easy to combine with the surrounding Downtown district. Travellers should choose a ticket for the levels and experience they actually want, since the standard observation decks and higher-level packages are distinct products. Leaving room in the itinerary for arrival, admission and time at the windows makes the visit less hurried. The attraction offers a useful aerial introduction to Dubai's urban geography.

684. Le Georges

     Paris, France

     Le Georges is a restaurant in Paris, France.

685. Rosewood Mandarina

     El Monteón, Mexico

     Rosewood Mandarina brings together beach, lowland and mountain settings on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit. Near El Monteón, the resort moves between the Pacific shoreline and a wooded landscape, allowing accommodation and public spaces to take on different perspectives. Its design draws on the region's materials and cultural traditions while keeping the surrounding vegetation and ocean in view. Suites feature private pools and terraces, with a choice of positions that changes the feeling of a stay. Some place guests closer to the beach, while others look out from higher ground. The arrangement gives outdoor living a substantial role, whether the day begins with a swim, a quiet breakfast or time watching the light move across the coast. La Cocina Mandarina centres its Mexican cooking on a traditional comal and handmade tortillas. Other dining settings include coastal Spanish flavours at Buena Onda and Japanese cuisine at Toppu, adding variety without requiring guests to leave the resort. Asaya Spa, beach activities and access to the wider Mandarina estate provide further ways to explore or unwind. The appeal lies in the ability to move between these landscapes while retaining a private base of one's own.

686. Fteri Beach

     Kefalonia, Greece

     Fteri Beach sits below pale cliffs on Kefalonia's north-western coast, where white pebbles and bright turquoise water form a striking, largely undeveloped shoreline. The surrounding slopes and exposed rock create a sense of separation from the island's busier resort areas. Viewed from the sea, the beach appears as a light strip beneath a much larger landscape of limestone and green vegetation. Most visitors arrive by boat from Zola harbour, near Agia Kyriaki, with local operators offering drop-offs and coastal excursions. A walking route also exists, but its rougher terrain makes it a different proposition from a straightforward roadside beach. Once ashore, the focus is on swimming, resting and looking back towards the cliffs, with the clear water providing much of the setting's visual character. Fteri has limited facilities, so water, food and practical beach supplies should be planned before departure. Boat arrangements depend on weather and sea conditions, and a return time is part of organising the visit. The reward is a beach that keeps attention on the natural coast, where the texture of the pebbles, the changing colour of the water and the scale of the cliffs remain central.

687. Jackson Hole

     Wyoming

     Jackson Hole Mountain Resort rises above Teton Village, with 2,500 acres of in-bounds terrain and a vertical drop of 4,139 feet. Its winter trail network is weighted towards demanding skiing: half the named trails are expert, alongside substantial intermediate terrain and a smaller beginner area. Terrain parks add a different challenge for skiers and snowboarders. In summer, the mountain becomes a base for walking through wildflower meadows, lift-assisted sightseeing and mountain biking. Children’s adventure and bike camps broaden the programme beyond the winter slopes. The resort’s buildings, lifts and snowmaking use wind energy, part of its stated effort to reduce the environmental impact of mountain operations.

688. Adega

     San Jose, USA

     Adega is a Portuguese restaurant at 1614 Alum Rock Avenue in San José, California, where the focus is firmly on contemporary Portuguese cooking rather than a broader Iberian or Mediterranean menu. The restaurant presents itself as a modern expression of authentic Portuguese cuisine, and local tourism material also identifies it as a Portuguese tasting-menu destination. That clear culinary identity shapes the experience, making the meal feel centred on Portugal’s food traditions, ingredients and flavours within a structured restaurant setting in San José. Food is served through a tasting-menu format rather than a conventional à la carte selection. The restaurant offers a standard tasting menu and a shorter version, and it states that everyone at the table is required to participate in the tasting format. Guests of all ages are welcome, but the meal is designed as a shared progression of courses rather than individual ordering. This creates a deliberate, paced style of dining in which the kitchen leads the sequence and rhythm of the evening. Adega describes its food as a modern approach to authentic Portuguese cuisine, and its menu information highlights ingredients closely associated with that tradition. Official and tourism descriptions reference olive oil, lupini beans, sardines, octopus and salted codfish, alongside seasonal local produce. Seafood has a notable presence, but the broader emphasis is on Portuguese flavours interpreted in a contemporary way. The result is a meal built around recognisable national culinary references, presented through a multi-course format that keeps attention on the kitchen’s chosen progression. Wine is an important part of the restaurant’s identity. Adega says its cellar includes more than 500 Portuguese wines, underlining a specialised drinks programme that complements the food’s national focus. The restaurant also notes that specialty cocktails are available. For guests with dietary requirements, pescatarian and vegetarian requests may be accommodated when arranged at least 48 hours in advance, while vegan requests and some severe allergies cannot be accommodated. Practical details include a small parking lot behind the restaurant, adding a useful convenience for diners arriving by car.

689. Laucala Island Resort Fiji

     Laucala Island, Fiji Islands

     Laucala Island Resort Fiji is an exclusive golf resort that occupies an entire private island in the Fiji Islands. The resort has an 18-hole championship golf course that blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of the island. The resort also has a spa, a wellness center, an equestrian center, a water sports center, a diving center, and five restaurants and bars.

690. Zanzibar (Unguja)

     Zanzibar, Tanzania

     Unguja, commonly called Zanzibar, combines Indian Ocean beaches with a historic trading town and an interior associated with spice cultivation. It is the main island of the Zanzibar archipelago, off mainland Tanzania. A stay here can bring together quite different experiences, from the lanes and waterfront of Stone Town to coastal villages and resort areas facing open sea or reef-protected shallows. Stone Town’s architecture reflects long connections between East Africa, Arabia, India and Europe. Carved doors, closely packed buildings and markets reward exploration on foot, while a knowledgeable guide can explain the histories behind them. Beyond the town, visits to spice-growing areas introduce the plants behind familiar flavours, and Jozani provides an opportunity to spend time in the island’s forest landscape. The northern beaches around Nungwi and Kendwa and the south-eastern coast around Jambiani offer different settings for seaside stays. Snorkelling, diving and boat excursions add a water-based dimension, with plans shaped by local conditions. Dividing time between Stone Town and the coast gives the island greater depth, placing beach days alongside an understanding of the communities, trade and food traditions that continue to shape Zanzibar.

691. Tatiana

     New York, USA

     Tatiana is a restaurant in New York, set inside David Geffen Hall at 10 Lincoln Center Plaza on the Upper West Side. The official site presents it as Chef Kwame Onwuachi’s New York concept, with a story shaped by his upbringing in the Bronx and the former San Juan Hill neighbourhood. Its position within Lincoln Center gives it a cultural, city-centre context rather than a street-front dining room. The food menu is organised into small share and large share sections, with desserts listed separately. Current dishes include fluke crudo, egusi tortellini with Dungeness crab, curried goat patties, crab and oxtail patties, braised oxtail, fried branzino, shawarma roasted chicken and short rib pastrami suya. That mix points to Caribbean and West African influences alongside references to wider New York food cultures. The drinks list is similarly broad, with cocktails such as the LC Negroni, POG Nutcracker, The Spicy Marg, Smoke Break and Tatiana Sidecar, plus boozy jellies, wines and non-alcoholic options. The menu also features desserts including Bodega Special, Golden Rum Cake, Honey Bun and Icebox Cake, suggesting a format that can support both a full meal and a shorter visit centred on drinks and sweets. Tatiana operates for dinner Tuesday to Saturday from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm and is closed on Sunday and Monday. The website offers reservations and private events enquiries, and the overall presentation is polished and contemporary, with the restaurant’s identity tied closely to its Lincoln Center location and to Onwuachi’s personal culinary background rather than to a generic neighbourhood brasserie model.

692. The Blonde Abroad (Kiersten Rich)

     United States

     Kiersten Rich, also known as Kiki, is the travel creator behind The Blonde Abroad. Her website combines destination guides with photography, packing advice and practical features, with solo female travel forming an important part of its identity. The perspective is personal, drawing on her own journeys while organising information around the questions readers face when planning a trip. The range of travel covered is deliberately broad. Adventure, budget travel, couples’ holidays and luxury experiences appear alongside food, style and photography. Detailed itineraries sit beside guidance on choosing equipment, preparing for a particular climate and shaping a trip around an interest. This gives the site a useful balance between visual inspiration and the everyday decisions that make an itinerary workable. Rich’s public story began with leaving a career in corporate finance to travel, and her professional platform continues to connect that experience with advice for other independent travellers. Her photography and editing resources add another dimension for readers interested in recording their own journeys. The Blonde Abroad is particularly suited to those who want a recognisable individual voice, clear planning categories and an emphasis on confidence when exploring somewhere unfamiliar.

693. Infinity Pool at Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast

     Ravello, Italy

     Caruso's infinity pool sits high above the Amalfi Coast in Ravello, where water appears to continue towards the sea and the surrounding mountains. The elevated position gives the pool a sense of openness, with Mediterranean gardens framing the approach. It is part of a hotel set within an eleventh-century palace, bringing contemporary outdoor leisure into an unusually historic setting. The pool's broad outlook encourages a slower rhythm between swims. Sun loungers and cabanas provide places to read or settle into the view, while the La Piscina pool club adds drinks, light social activity and wellness experiences around the terrace. The Lattari Mountains give the setting depth, changing the atmosphere as sunlight moves across the slopes and coast. A stay at Caruso offers further ways to enjoy Ravello without losing this connection to the landscape. Rooms and suites retain individual historical details, and the hotel's dining ranges from more formal meals to casual poolside choices. Gardens, yoga and other activities create alternatives to excursions down to the coast. Returning to the pool after exploring the town places the sea back in view, with the height and quiet of Ravello shaping the experience.

694. Alpha Restaurant

     Sydney, Australia

     Alpha Restaurant is a restaurant in Sydney, Australia.

695. Grand Palais

     Paris, France

     The Grand Palais stands near the Champs-Élysées, bringing a monumental glass-and-steel interior into the heart of Paris. Built for the 1900 international exhibition, it has long accommodated art, public events and large gatherings. Its restored Nave remains the defining space, where daylight filters through the roof and the scale of the structure becomes part of whatever is taking place below. The venue supports exhibitions, performances, cultural programmes and special events, with the broad floor allowing different forms of staging and circulation. The experience can change markedly between an art presentation, a concert and a large public gathering. Architectural details and the interplay of ironwork, glass and light give even temporary installations a recognisable setting. The building's central location allows a visit to be combined with nearby museums, the Seine and the formal avenues of western central Paris. Because access and the arrangement of spaces depend on the programme, choosing a particular exhibition or event is the most useful way to plan. The Grand Palais appeals to visitors interested in the relationship between architecture and culture, offering a setting where the building can feel as significant as the work or performance it contains.

696. Experience the ancient Inca landscape of Machu Picchu, Peru

     World

697. Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora Beachfront Villa Estates

     Bora Bora, French Polynesia

     The Beachfront Villa Estates at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora offer a shore-based alternative to the resort's overwater accommodation. Set beside white sand and tropical gardens, they look across the lagoon towards the island's mountainous interior. Their appeal is the amount of space available on land, with separate living areas and outdoor places to gather as a family or group. The collection includes several bedroom configurations, with private pools and generous terraces central to the experience. The Three-Bedroom Premier Beachfront Villa Estate, for example, combines airy interiors with an expansive deck, outdoor kitchen and infinity pool. Its outlook takes in the beach, lagoon and Mount Otemanu, while distinct bedrooms and shared living areas make it practical for longer stays together. Dedicated villa hosts help coordinate the visit, and guests can arrange experiences such as a chef-prepared dinner, private yoga or treatments in the villa. The resort's restaurants and water activities remain within reach when a change of scene appeals. These estates suit travellers drawn to Bora Bora's lagoon setting who also value a garden, a substantial pool and the feeling of having a private coastal home.

698. La Mamounia

     Marrakech, Morocco

     La Mamounia stands beside Marrakech's old city, where formal gardens provide a leafy interval between the hotel and the bustle of the medina. Its public rooms bring together carved plaster, zellige tilework, marble and richly coloured fabrics. Fountains and shaded paths extend that decorative language outdoors, making the gardens an integral part of the experience. Accommodation ranges from rooms and suites to private riads, with views and layouts that reflect their position within the property. Traditional Moroccan craftsmanship remains a consistent thread, though individual spaces vary in scale and mood. The riads offer a more secluded arrangement with private pools, while the main building keeps guests close to the hotel's salons, restaurants and communal facilities. Dining covers Moroccan, Italian and Asian cooking, alongside pastry and tea experiences. The spa includes hammam rituals and an indoor pool, and an outdoor pool provides a different setting for a relaxed afternoon. With the Koutoubia area and medina nearby, La Mamounia can serve both as a base for exploring Marrakech and as a destination for appreciating the city's craft traditions through architecture, gardens and food.

699. Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita

     Beau Champ, Mauritius

     Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita occupies tropical gardens beside the lagoon on Mauritius's east coast. Accommodation is arranged in villas and residences, each with a private garden and pool, making outdoor space central to a stay. Oceanfront, beach-facing and garden settings offer different outlooks, while larger residences allow families or groups to share living and dining areas without giving up privacy. Golf provides a strong reason to base a holiday here. Guests can arrange play at the Ernie Els-designed Anahita course and the Bernhard Langer-designed course on Île aux Cerfs. The contrast between mainland coastline and island terrain adds variety to repeated rounds. Tee times and the inclusions attached to individual bookings should be confirmed in advance, as access is subject to availability. The resort's overwater spa, restaurants and waterside facilities create a complete alternative programme between rounds. A boat trip connects guests with a dedicated beach on Île aux Cerfs, while the lagoon encourages time on the water. This combination of private villa living, two golfing settings and access to the Indian Ocean gives the property its particular appeal.

700. Carcasse

     Koksijde, Belgium

     Carcasse is the restaurant in Sint-Idesbald, Koksijde, at Henri Christiaenlaan 5, presented by its official site as part of a butcher’s story in which the butchery and the dining room are closely linked. The Koksijde branch is shown as currently operating, with service from Thursday to Monday for lunch and dinner. The setting is described through its connection to craft and terroir, with the restaurant framing itself around produce that moves directly from the butcher’s work to the table. The menu reflects that identity through a broad meat-led selection that includes charcuterie, dried entrecôte, beef tongue, beef tartare, veal’s head, white pudding, blood sausage and marrow bone. Main dishes listed by the restaurant include côte à l’os, filet pur Simmental de Bavière, Bavette, poussin, Tomaporc, pluma ibérico, suckling pig and chicken with morels. A five-course Chef’s Choice Menu is also offered, composed according to what is best on the day. Carcasse also gives vegetables a defined place in its cooking. The restaurant says vegetarians feel at home, and its own descriptions emphasise seasonal vegetables, ethically grown produce and close work with small-scale farmers. Rather than presenting vegetables as an isolated side note, the kitchen highlights local sourcing and unusual combinations that keep the ingredient itself in focus while broadening the menu beyond meat alone. The overall impression is of a restaurant where butcher’s craft remains visible in the dining experience. The official description stresses head-to-tail use of the animal and a direct link with the workshop next door, creating the sense of stepping into a working atelier. In Koksijde, that results in a house style built on careful sourcing, familiar cuts, lesser-known parts and a clear respect for both animal and vegetable produce.

701. La Mezcaleria

     Dubai, UAE

     La Mezcaleria is a restaurant in Dubai, UAE.

702. Chef’s Table – lebua

     Bangkok, Thailand

     Chef’s Table by lebua is a restaurant in The Dome at State Tower, Silom, Bangkok, with the official lebua pages placing it on the 61st floor at 1055 Silom Road. The venue is presented as a distinct French restaurant within the group’s Bangkok dining collection, rather than a general hotel outlet, and the current restaurant pages identify the business and branch clearly enough to distinguish the exact site and format. The dining room is centred on an open kitchen, with tables arranged to face the cooking pass and the chef’s work area. Lebua states that the room contains 16 seats around this kitchen, and the design includes a custom Molteni stove set within marble and brass detailing. The result is a small, tightly arranged space where the preparation and finishing of each course remain visible throughout the meal. Cuisine is described by lebua as French gastronomy shaped with Japanese ingredients, led by Executive Chef Vincent Thierry. The current signature menu presentation indicates tasting-menu dining rather than an à la carte offer, and the restaurant’s own description stresses precision, purity and restraint in the cooking. Wine service is part of the experience, supporting a structured sequence of dishes rather than a casual drop-in format. Chef’s Table sits within lebua’s elevated dining cluster at State Tower and is promoted with panoramic views over Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River. Its atmosphere is formal and intimate, with an emphasis on carefully staged service, contemporary French technique and a dedicated kitchen-led setting. The official pages frame it as a destination restaurant, while still making clear that it is a specific venue in its own right at the Bangkok property.

703. Grill’d

     Melbourne, Australia

     Grill’d is a restaurant in Melbourne, Australia.

704. SWISS

     Kloten, Switzerland

     SWISS connects Switzerland with European and intercontinental destinations, with Zurich providing its principal hub and Geneva supporting a further range of services. The airline's identity is closely tied to its home country, expressed through restrained cabin design and a food programme that draws attention to Swiss regions. Its network can make Switzerland either a destination or a convenient point between longer journeys. Cabin choice depends on the route and aircraft. Long-haul services offer Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First Class in relevant configurations, while European flights use a different product. Seating, privacy and onboard facilities therefore vary across the fleet. Travellers choosing around a specific experience benefit from checking the operating aircraft and the details of their cabin. Dining adds a regional dimension, particularly through menus that showcase Swiss culinary influences. The airline also provides advance menu information on participating flights, helping passengers understand what is planned before departure. Miles & More links eligible travel with rewards and status benefits across partner airlines. SWISS appeals through the combination of a clearly defined national character and the practical scale of its Zurich connections, offering a considered way to begin, end or continue a European journey.

705. Etihad Airways Business Class

     Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

     Etihad Airways designs Business Class around flexible dining and time to rest, with several cabin types operating across its Abu Dhabi network. The Airbus A350 offers enclosed Business suites with doors and seats that become fully flat beds. Personal space, a large entertainment screen and carefully arranged storage make the cabin useful for daytime travel as well as an overnight journey. On eligible routes, passengers can dine from an à la carte menu at a time that suits them. Choices draw on Emirati cooking and the destinations served, alongside lighter dishes and breakfast options. A welcome drink begins the service, while bedding developed with Armani Casa and a mattress provide a more comfortable surface for sleep. The approach allows the flight to move between a meal, entertainment and rest without requiring everyone to follow exactly the same routine. Business Class is also available on other aircraft, including the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787, with different seat designs and levels of enclosure. A private door should therefore be confirmed for the particular flight rather than assumed. Travellers should also review the fare's ground services, as chauffeur arrangements depend on the ticket and location. The individual aircraft and fare together shape the complete experience.

706. Cunard

     Southampton, United Kingdom

     Cunard gives ocean travel a distinct sense of occasion, combining long-established shipboard traditions with itineraries around the world. Queen Mary 2's transatlantic crossings remain a defining part of the line's identity, while other voyages explore regional ports and longer routes. Time at sea is treated as an important part of the holiday, with a programme built around dining, conversation, performances and enrichment. The Queens Room serves as a social focus, hosting afternoon tea, music and dancing. Elsewhere, theatres, lounges, libraries and open decks provide different ways to spend the day, from a lecture or concert to a quiet hour with a book. Accommodation ranges from staterooms to larger suites, with the selected category influencing dining arrangements and access to some facilities. Evenings can be more formal, particularly on gala occasions, giving travellers an opportunity to enjoy a style of hospitality that is less common on contemporary holidays. Port calls and excursions add local culture and scenery, but the ship retains a strong identity throughout the voyage. Cunard is especially appealing to passengers who enjoy the rituals of travel and want their journey across the water to matter as much as arrival.

707. Maison Russe

     Paris, France

     Maison Russe is a restaurant in Paris, France.

708. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

     New York, United States

     MoMA places modern and contemporary art in the middle of Manhattan, a short walk from Fifth Avenue. Its galleries bring together familiar works and less expected connections, following artistic ideas from the late nineteenth century into the present. The setting is urban and active, with the museum's public spaces giving visitors room to pause between different scales and kinds of work. Painting and sculpture sit within a broader programme that includes photography, film, architecture, design and performance. Works such as Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night belong to a collection whose displays change, encouraging repeat visits and fresh relationships between artists. Temporary exhibitions and screenings extend that conversation beyond a single account of modernism, while talks and digital guides provide routes through the material. The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden introduces an outdoor gallery within the city block. Its combination of planting, architecture and sculpture changes the pace after time indoors. Cafés and the design store offer further breaks without leaving the museum. MoMA particularly suits visitors willing to follow their curiosity across media, allowing a painting, film or everyday object to become the starting point for a wider exploration.

709. ICC Belfast

     Belfast, United Kingdom

     ICC Belfast stands beside the River Lagan, combining a central location with a waterfront setting that remains visible throughout the building. Its public areas connect the city side of the venue with broad riverside foyers, giving delegates space to pause between sessions and watch the changing light over the water. Hotels, restaurants and central Belfast are close enough to form part of a compact business itinerary. The Main Auditorium provides tiered seating for major presentations, while Hall One offers a flexible floor for conferences, exhibitions and dinners. Smaller meeting rooms, a studio and mezzanine spaces support workshops, briefings and parallel sessions. The Riverside Foyer, with its floor-to-ceiling glazing and access to an outdoor terrace, is particularly suited to arrivals, refreshments and informal conversations. In-house event and production teams support programmes that range from academic congresses to corporate gatherings and gala evenings. The variety of spaces allows an event to change pace without moving to another venue, with more intimate rooms balancing the scale of the auditorium. Its combination of adaptable facilities and a walkable urban setting makes ICC Belfast useful for organisers seeking a conference that remains closely connected to its host city.

710. Gauthier Soho

     London, UK

     Gauthier Soho is a restaurant at 21 Romilly Street in Soho, London, operating in an unmodernised Regency townhouse. The official site presents it as a plant-based French gastronomic restaurant led by chef Alexis Gauthier, with a smart-casual dress code and a formal dining style rather than an informal walk-in format. Its central London setting and townhouse architecture give the business a distinctive, staged character that frames the meal as a special occasion experience. The kitchen’s focus is classical French gastronomy made without animal products, expressed through tasting menus that change seasonally. Current menu formats include an eight-course Grand Dîner and a five-course Petit Dîner, with service offered at different lunch and dinner times across the week. Rather than imitate conventional dishes, the restaurant describes its approach as a reworking of fine dining through plant-based cooking, which places technique and menu composition at the centre of the experience. Inside, the venue contains two restaurant rooms, five private dining rooms and a wine cellar, giving it a layered layout across several floors. The official information also refers to a basement kitchen and service with silver cloches, details that reinforce the house’s traditional dining-room atmosphere. Private dining enquiries are handled directly by the restaurant, and the same venue details are used for booking and contact purposes. Taken together, Gauthier Soho presents itself as a specialist London dining room for plant-based French cuisine, with a clear emphasis on chef-led menus, townhouse surroundings and attentive service. The combination of tasting menus, private dining spaces and a wine-focused setting shapes an experience that is carefully composed rather than casual. Its identity rests on the meeting of historic house character and contemporary vegan gastronomy in the heart of Soho.

715. Okada Manila

     Parañaque, Philippines

     Okada Manila occupies a substantial waterfront estate in Entertainment City, with curved hotel towers framing an expansive fountain. The resort combines accommodation, casino gaming, restaurants and entertainment in one interconnected setting. Its interiors favour generous proportions and decorative detail, while views towards Manila Bay give many of the public spaces a strong sense of their coastal location. Rooms and suites span several categories, with larger options providing separate living areas for longer stays or small groups. Dining is a central part of the resort, ranging from Japanese and Chinese restaurants to Filipino dishes, international buffets and casual cafés. The Promenade brings shops into the indoor circulation routes, making it easy to move between meals, the hotel and the gaming floor. The Fountain presents choreographed displays of water, light and sound, while Cove Manila offers an event setting beneath a glass dome. For quieter hours, the Retreat Spa and swimming facilities provide alternatives to the livelier evening spaces. Children's activities add flexibility for family visits. The result is a resort suited to travellers who want a varied dining and entertainment programme on site, with the hotel functioning as part of a much larger destination.

716. Wolfgat

     Paternoster, South Africa

     Wolfgat is a restaurant at 10 Sampson Street in Paternoster, on South Africa’s West Coast. It describes itself as a Strandveld eatery and serves lunch and dinner by appointment only, with bookings managed online or by email. The setting is closely tied to the village itself, and the business identifies its location plainly rather than as a hotel or multi-venue site. The kitchen is built around a seven-course seasonal tasting menu that draws on indigenous coastal ingredients. The restaurant says the dishes feature sustainable seafood, local fish and shellfish, and, in season, lamb or venison, alongside wild herbs, seaweeds from local rock pools and produce from the garden. An optional vegetarian tasting menu is available only if arranged in advance, while vegan menus are not offered. Wolfgat keeps the operation deliberately small, booking 20 diners per sitting. Lunch is served from Wednesday to Saturday and at midday on Sundays, while dinner is offered on Friday and Saturday evenings. The restaurant states that serious allergies may be discussed in advance, but menu changes cannot be made on the day, and infants and children under 16 are not accommodated. The experience is therefore one of tightly controlled, coastal dining rather than a broad à la carte restaurant. The official material emphasises the seasonal rhythm of the surrounding landscape, with some ingredients prepared over several weeks and others gathered on the day for the exact number of reservations received. The result is a focused meal rooted in local produce and in the character of Paternoster’s shoreline.

717. BIBO

     Dubai, UAE

     BIBO is a restaurant in Dubai, UAE.

718. Odette

     Singapore

     Inside the former Supreme Court wing of National Gallery Singapore, Odette brings together French culinary foundations and chef Julien Royer’s experience of Asia. Its name honours Royer’s grandmother, whose approach to cooking helped shape his focus on ingredients. Seasonal tasting menus combine established signatures with new ideas. Kampot pepper-crusted pigeon remains a defining dish, while other courses explore influences from Singapore and the wider region. The Nature & Découverte vegetarian menu offers a dedicated alternative, with the same emphasis on produce. The dining room’s recent redesign introduces cream and amber tones, timber marquetry and curved seating. Suspended paper sculptures by Singaporean artist Dawn Ng take their colours from botanical and culinary ingredients, creating a connection between the food, the interior and the surrounding gallery. Odette retained three Michelin stars in the 2026 guide. Its wine list is organised by style, encouraging diners to follow their tastes across regions and producers. This is a restaurant for an occasion that deserves time, whether a celebratory dinner or a long lunch combined with an afternoon exploring the National Gallery.

721. Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa

     Atlantic City, United States

     Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa rises above Atlantic City’s Marina District, with a gold-toned tower that is distinct from the city’s beachfront hotels. The setting places the emphasis on the resort itself, where accommodation, gaming, dining and entertainment are brought together in a substantial complex. Views towards the surrounding waterways add a sense of the coastal landscape. Rooms and suites offer different levels of space, while the connected MGM Tower provides another accommodation option within the resort. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools, landscaped areas and Spa Toccare allow for a quieter part of the day. The range of facilities makes an overnight stay feel more rounded than a short visit centred on one event. The casino includes table games, slots and a dedicated poker room. Restaurants span steakhouses and other cuisines, with cocktail lounges and performance spaces supporting the evening programme. Visitors can plan a stay around a concert, a meal or time at the tables, while leaving room for the pools and spa. Borgata suits travellers seeking a self-contained Atlantic City resort with a strong emphasis on dining and indoor entertainment.

722. Presidential Suites by Lifestyle

     Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

     Presidential Suites by Lifestyle is a collection of studios and suites within the Lifestyle Holidays resort complex at Cofresí, near Puerto Plata. The name describes the accommodation property as a whole, with several room configurations available. Dark wood furnishings, private balconies and access to the wider resort create a setting that combines apartment style surroundings with the services of an all-inclusive holiday. Accommodation ranges from compact studios to suites, with layouts and sleeping arrangements varying by category. Air conditioning, a refrigerator and a private bathroom are among the practical features. Balconies provide a place to sit outside, while shared swimming pools and beach access draw guests into the larger complex. Selected accommodation includes separate living spaces, allowing guests to spend time together away from the bedroom. Jazz offers French bistro dining, and Blues provides another dining setting within Presidential Suites. The all-inclusive arrangement covers meals and local drinks, with reservations required for à la carte restaurants. An internal shuttle helps guests move around the resort, and the activities programme includes sports, children's entertainment and non-motorised water sports. This is an option for travellers who want a choice of accommodation layouts and extensive shared facilities, with the coastal setting of Cofresí providing the backdrop.

723. Llama Inn

     New York, USA

724. Rosewood Little Dix Bay

     Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands

     Rosewood Little Dix Bay places a wedding around a crescent-shaped beach on Virgin Gorda. The resort’s low buildings, gardens and sheltered bay create a setting in which the landscape remains prominent, even for a carefully arranged celebration. Its layout encourages a wedding to become part of a longer stay, with guests meeting naturally between the beach and their accommodation. Ceremonies can take place on the sand, while gardens and pool decks offer alternatives for drinks and evening gatherings. The restaurants provide further settings for welcome dinners and receptions, allowing the celebration to develop across several spaces. Wedding specialists work with couples on the arrangements, and the culinary team can shape menus around the style of the occasion. Rooms, suites and villas provide a range of accommodation, with Sense, A Rosewood Spa adding opportunities for quieter time before or after the wedding. Guests can also explore Virgin Gorda or arrange time on the surrounding water. The appeal lies in a celebration that feels connected to the bay, with the resort’s dining, service and accommodation supporting several days of shared island life.

725. Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Infinity Pool

     Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

     The infinity pool at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti looks across open savannah towards a nearby waterhole, making the surrounding landscape the principal attraction. Its free-form shape sits within a broad terrace, with loungers positioned to take in the view. Rather than using a distant sea horizon, the design connects the water with the grassland and the wide Tanzanian sky. Wildlife may gather at the waterhole, including elephants, although sightings remain dependent on the animals and conditions. That possibility gives a poolside afternoon its own quiet interest between guided outings. Swimming, reading and watching the landscape can occupy the same stretch of time, with the lodge providing a comfortable place to pause without losing the sense of being within the Serengeti. Rooms, suites and villas offer different outlooks and degrees of privacy, while dining and spa facilities support a longer stay. Some accommodation categories have their own plunge pools, which are separate from the shared main pool described here. For guests returning from a game drive, the terrace offers a change of pace while keeping attention firmly on the park beyond the lodge.

726. Le Procope

     Paris, France

     Le Procope is a restaurant in Paris’s 6th arrondissement, at 13 rue de l’Ancienne-Comédie in Odéon, and its official material presents it as a café, restaurant and glacier. The operator’s own pages make the exact business clear: Le Procope, a historic dining room in central Paris rather than a general café brand. The address and contact details place it firmly in Saint-Germain, where the name is closely tied to long-standing Parisian dining and café culture. Its food offer is built around classic French dining. The official menu is divided into several sections, including the main carte, a Révolutionnaires menu, café salon and drinks, which indicates a service model that spans full meals and lighter daytime stops. The site also highlights ice cream and desserts such as coffee tart and Paris-Brest, suggesting a menu that balances brasserie-style dishes with café and pastry items rooted in the French repertoire. Le Procope’s history pages emphasise its claim to being the first Paris establishment to introduce coffee served at table in a fine porcelain cup. That heritage remains central to the restaurant’s identity, with coffee still foregrounded alongside the food offer. The business also states that it can host private and professional gatherings, including lunches, dinners and cocktail receptions, which points to a formal dining space able to accommodate both everyday service and organised occasions. Taken together, the business presents itself as a heritage-led Paris restaurant with a distinct old-city character rather than a modern concept venue. The experience is shaped by its Saint-Germain setting, its coffee and glacier traditions, and a menu built from familiar French classics rather than novelty. For diners, that means a polished historic house where the atmosphere is as much part of the appeal as the food and drink service.

727. Ras Mohammed National Park

     South Sinai, Egypt

     Ras Mohammed National Park occupies the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where desert scenery meets the waters of the Red Sea. Close to Sharm El Sheikh, it offers a marine landscape of reef walls, clear shallows and deeper open water, with the contrast between land and sea giving the destination a strong identity. The protected area also includes coastal features such as mangroves. For divers, sites around Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef provide dramatic underwater topography and a varied marine environment. Coral-covered walls and the movement of fish through open water create an experience that can change substantially with conditions. Boat trips allow different sites to be combined, while snorkelling offers another way to appreciate suitable parts of the reef closer to the surface. A visit can be organised from the established hotels and dive centres of Sharm El Sheikh, making the park accessible within a wider Sinai holiday. Local guidance helps match activities to experience and the day's conditions. Ras Mohammed is particularly rewarding for travellers interested in the relationship between the stark desert coastline and the richness below the water, with time on land adding perspective to the marine experience.

728. Jumeirah Al Qasr - Talise Spa

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Jumeirah Al Qasr brings a palatial architectural style to the waterways and gardens of Madinat Jumeirah. Rooms and suites look towards different parts of the resort, with terraces or balconies extending the living space outdoors. The beach, pools and landscaped grounds provide a broad setting for a holiday in which wellness can be one focus among several. Talise Spa serves the Madinat Jumeirah resort, providing a dedicated setting for treatments and wellbeing. Its programmes combine treatments with movement and other activities, allowing guests to choose an approach that suits their interests and available time. The garden setting creates a quieter atmosphere within the wider complex, while fitness facilities offer another option for maintaining a regular routine during a stay. Restaurants and lounges across the resort provide considerable choice, and the waterways connect many of the public areas. Families can combine beach and pool time with their own activities while adults arrange spa appointments separately. Al Qasr is distinctive for placing a substantial wellness offering within an established coastal resort, where ornate architecture, water and gardens create a sense of place. The experience works as part of a complete hotel stay or a more focused visit to Talise.

729. Mott 32

     Vancouver, Canada

     Mott 32 is a restaurant in Vancouver, Canada.

730. Hard Rock Cafe

     Tokyo, Japan

     Hard Rock Cafe is a restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.

731. GoldenEye Villas

     Oracabessa, Jamaica

     GoldenEye’s villas are set around beaches, gardens and a lagoon at Oracabessa on Jamaica’s north coast. The property grew from the home where Ian Fleming wrote the James Bond novels, later evolving under Island Records founder Chris Blackwell. That history gives the estate a cultural dimension, but the accommodation’s strongest everyday quality is its informal relationship with the water and the gardens. Beach and lagoon villas offer different outlooks, with private verandas providing space for meals, reading and conversation. Kitchens, generous bedrooms and outdoor garden showers create the feel of a coastal home. Layouts vary across the collection, allowing couples and larger parties to choose between more intimate accommodation and houses with several rooms. The wider resort adds restaurants, beaches, swimming pools and a spa, while the lagoon encourages time on or beside the water. Guests can divide their days between private villa life and the estate’s shared gathering places. This balance gives GoldenEye a relaxed social character, with enough independence for a longer stay and an established setting for travellers interested in Jamaica’s landscape, music and literary connections.

732. The Peninsula Paris

     Paris

     The Peninsula Paris is a palace hotel in the sixteenth arrondissement, close to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées. Its accommodation includes spacious rooms and suites, with selected categories adding private balconies and views over the surrounding city. The spa has six individual treatment rooms and two private suites, alongside a twenty-metre indoor swimming pool and two vitality pools. Separate fitness rooms support exercise, while the rooftop restaurant L'Oiseau Blanc serves contemporary French cuisine with a broad Paris outlook. The property brings accommodation, wellness and elevated dining together near several of the city's major landmarks.

733. Baía do Sancho

     Fernando de Noronha, Brazil

     Baía do Sancho occupies a sheltered curve of coast on Fernando de Noronha, with clear blue-green water enclosed by steep, vegetation-covered cliffs. The view from above reveals the sweep of sand and the changing depth of the bay, while the descent to the beach brings the scale of the surrounding rock into closer focus. It is a setting where the approach is a memorable part of the visit. Access on foot passes through the marine national park's controlled entrance and continues along paths and viewpoints. Reaching the sand involves a steep ladder section with managed periods for ascending and descending. Visitors who prefer to remain above can still appreciate the bay from the lookout system, while those going down should allow sufficient time for the return climb. The beach lends itself to swimming and quiet observation when sea conditions permit, with the cliffs providing a strong natural boundary. Park admission and local access rules are part of planning a visit, and temporary restrictions may apply to individual areas. Sancho is most rewarding when approached as a protected coastal landscape, with time to enjoy both the panoramic view and the more intimate experience at water level.

734. Ekstedt at The Yard

     London, UK

     Ekstedt at The Yard is a restaurant in London, UK.

735. Moroccan Soup Bar

     Melbourne, Australia

     Moroccan Soup Bar is a restaurant in North Melbourne, Victoria, at 47–51 Boundary Road. Established in 1998 and founded by Hana Assafiri, it moved from Fitzroy North to its current premises and now trades as a long-running Melbourne dining room with a clear vegetarian identity. Its own material presents the business as built around open hospitality and communal connection rather than a conventional menu-led format. The kitchen is vegetarian, with the official website stating that meat is not part of the offering. Service currently includes lunch and dinner, with dine-in, takeaway and delivery at dinner, plus takeaway available at lunch. Guests can also pre-order from a weekly menu, make table reservations, and arrange catering. The restaurant supplies biodegradable takeaway containers and encourages customers to bring their own containers for takeaway orders. The experience is intentionally informal and conversational. Melbourne food coverage describes the venue as using a verbal menu, which suits a kitchen known for long-standing North African dishes rather than a fixed à la carte list. Among the best-known items are the chickpea bake and shared plates such as dips, giving the meal a distinctly home-style rhythm. The result is a restaurant shaped as much by service style and atmosphere as by the food itself. In North Melbourne, Moroccan Soup Bar offers a focused vegetarian meal built around Moroccan flavours, communal service and a consistent house ethos. Its appeal lies in the combination of everyday dining, pre-order and takeaway options, and a philosophy that treats the restaurant as a place of welcome as well as a place to eat. That blend has given the business a distinctive position within Melbourne’s dining scene without relying on formality or elaborate presentation.

736. The Oak Room

     Ireland

     The Oak Room occupies Adare Manor's original family dining room, extending into the historic colonnade beside the River Maigue. Oak panelling and arched windows frame views of the formal gardens and golf course, with the setting changing from long summer evenings to candlelit winter dinners. Head chef Michael Tweedie's tasting menus follow the seasons and draw on producers across Ireland. Seafood, farmed meat, game and vegetables are joined by estate honey and foraged herbs. A handmade cheese trolley presents Irish cheeses at the table, while the sommelier team offers several wine pairings and a non-alcoholic alternative. The approach keeps the surrounding Irish landscape closely connected to the meal.

737. Villa Magnifico at Biltmore Hotel Villas Dubai

740. Serpenti Beach Clvb at Bvlgari Resort Dubai

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Serpenti Beach Clvb occupies the beachfront at Bvlgari Resort Dubai on Jumeira Bay Island. Its visual identity draws on the jewellery house's serpent motif, expressed in curved patterns and warm golden-orange tones across cabanas, daybeds and terraces. Against the pale sand and blue water, the design creates a distinctive setting for a day that feels removed from the surrounding city. The experience centres on a choice of places to lounge, with refreshments, fruit, light bites and cocktails available throughout the day. La Spiaggia provides the adjacent dining component, offering international dishes and drinks in a relaxed seaside setting. The resort's beach facilities also include an outdoor pool, allowing guests to divide their time between the water, shade and an unhurried meal. The atmosphere changes with the light, from bright mornings beside the sea to softer late afternoons across the bay. It is particularly suited to travellers who appreciate a carefully designed beach environment and attentive service within an established resort. Access arrangements vary by booking and should be confirmed in advance, especially when choosing between individual loungers, daybeds and a private cabana.

741. Presidential Suite at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong

     Hong Kong, China

     The Presidential Suite at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong looks across Victoria Harbour from the forty-third floor. Its broad outlook towards Kowloon gives the accommodation an immediate relationship with the city's water and skyline, while a substantial entrance foyer establishes the scale of the interior. Soft natural colours, wood and silk wall treatments combine contemporary furniture with Asian decorative influences. Approximately 319 square metres are arranged for both entertaining and private time. A dining room seats ten, while an informal sitting area and separate study allow the suite to work in different ways through the day. The living room includes a grand piano, and a king bedroom provides a quieter retreat. A marble bathroom places the bathtub beside the harbour view, extending the panorama into a more private part of the accommodation. The suite can connect with an additional harbour-view room for guests needing more sleeping space. Executive Club access and the hotel's dining, spa and pool facilities add further options beyond the residence itself. Its Central address makes the suite a practical base for the city, while the combination of generous interiors and a continuous harbour outlook gives returning indoors its own appeal.

742. Moon Park

     Sydney, Australia

     Moon Park is a Thai restaurant in Darlinghurst, Sydney, trading from 346 Liverpool Street. Its official website identifies the venue as Restaurant Moon and describes it as a Thai–European eatery, pairing Thai cuisine with European gastronomy. The business presents itself as an active restaurant rather than a broad food concept, with its own address, reservations and contact details published on the site for guests seeking a seated dining experience in inner Sydney. The kitchen is centred on a degustation format, while the site also lists a Petit menu, showing that diners can choose between structured tasting and a lighter set offering. The story page says the food reimagines Thai cuisine through avant-garde dishes and European cooking techniques. That approach gives the restaurant a contemporary profile, with dishes shaped by cross-cultural methods rather than by a standard neighbourhood Thai repertoire or a large à la carte list. The venue’s story also notes that Chef Aum brings nearly 20 years of cooking experience, including time working in Thailand and Belgium. The restaurant says private dining is available, and its own pages refer to hosting corporate events, romantic dinners and family celebrations. These details indicate a place designed for both intimate meals and small gatherings, supported by a formal service style and a menu structure built around planned courses. Overall, Moon Park appears as a modern Darlinghurst restaurant with a clear Thai–European identity and a strong emphasis on degustation dining. The setting on Liverpool Street places it within one of Sydney’s more busy inner-city dining areas, while the published menus and private-dining offer suggest a venue focused on composed meals, careful presentation and event use. On the evidence available, it is best understood as a contemporary Sydney restaurant rather than a casual takeaway or conventional Thai local.

743. Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

     Platte Island, Seychelles

     Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island occupies a small island surrounded by the Indian Ocean, reached by private aircraft from Mahé. The journey replaces the mountainous outline of the main island with low vegetation, beach and reef, setting the pace for a stay shaped by the sea. The resort's layout gives its villas substantial space within that compact island environment. Each of the 50 villas has a private pool, a large terrace and a garden leading towards the beach. This arrangement makes outdoor living an everyday part of the accommodation, with room to move between shade, sand and water. The interiors provide a sheltered retreat, while the larger villa choices allow families and groups to share the island experience with more independence. Six restaurants and bars offer different dining settings, from poolside dishes to Creole and Latin influences at Maison Des Epices. Moulin draws on produce grown in its own garden. The spa adds treatment suites and a programme of therapies, while snorkelling, diving and guided wildlife walks encourage exploration beyond the villa. With air transfers integral to arrival, a stay feels contained within the island's own rhythm of light, tides and open water.

744. Chiva-Som International Health Resort

     Thailand

     Situated on the Gulf of Thailand, Chiva-Som offers transformative wellness with personalized consultations, holistic therapies, and healthy cuisine. Achieve vitality and renewal by the seaside.

745. El Preferido de Palermo

     Argentina

     El Preferido de Palermo preserves the character of a Buenos Aires tavern in a pink building dating from 1885. Opened as a modest bodegón in 1952, it has been restored while retaining period floors, mirrors and colourful jars of pickles. It is now run by the owner of nearby Don Julio. The à la carte menu centres on recognisable local cooking. Sirloin milanesa with tomato salsa is a signature, while artisanal charcuterie includes salami, bondiola and pancetta. The restaurant also grows organic vegetables, including heirloom tomatoes, giving produce from its own gardens a place alongside the meat and cured cuts.

746. ATLAS

     Singapore, Singapore

     ATLAS occupies the grand ground-floor lobby of Parkview Square in Singapore's Bugis neighbourhood. Its soaring interior takes inspiration from the Art Deco buildings and European hotel lounges of the early twentieth century, with an imposing scale that gives even a short visit a sense of occasion. The surrounding district offers a useful contrast, with busy streets and cultural landmarks just beyond the doors. Gin is a central preoccupation, supported by an extensive collection that ranges from historical bottles to contemporary distillations. The cocktail programme draws on the drinking traditions and decorative culture of the period, while Champagne, still wines and whiskies provide alternatives. A martini offers one way into the collection; a conversation with the team can help identify a spirit or style less familiar to the guest. Food and afternoon tea make ATLAS more than an evening cocktail stop, and the room lends itself equally to an unhurried daytime appointment or a later gathering. Its appeal comes from the coherence of architecture, glassware and drinks, all referencing a particular era without turning the experience into a historical reconstruction. Reservations are useful when planning around its dining and tea services.

747. Nando’s

     Johannesburg, South Africa

     Nando’s in Johannesburg, South Africa, is represented by several separately listed restaurants rather than a single city venue. The brand’s local roots go back to 1987, when its first restaurant opened in Rosettenville, Johannesburg. Current branches identified here include Carlton Centre in Marshalltown, Ormonde, Gold Reef City in Ormonde, The Glen in Oakdene and Savoy on Louis Botha Avenue. Together they show how the restaurant operates across central and southern parts of the city in a mix of shopping-centre and roadside locations. Across these Johannesburg branches, the core offer is flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. Carlton Centre is at Shop 224, Carlton Centre, Kruis Street, Marshalltown. Ormonde is at the corner of Crownwood Road and Rente Street, while Gold Reef City is at the corner of Northern Parkway Road and Data Crescent, also in Ormonde. The Glen occupies Shop M79C at The Glen Shopping Centre on the corner of Orpen and Letaba roads in Oakdene, and Savoy is at 555 Louis Botha Avenue. Branch services vary by location, giving each restaurant a slightly different practical role. Carlton Centre and Ormonde both list dine-in, collection and delivery. Gold Reef City also lists dine-in, collection, delivery and drive-thru, adding an extra takeaway option at that branch. Savoy has the broadest published set of services, with dine-in, collection, delivery, curbside pickup and drive-thru. For The Glen, the supplied facts confirm dine-in and collection, placing it firmly within the group’s quick-service, branch-based dining model. Taken together, these Johannesburg Nando’s restaurants reflect a city presence built around distinct neighbourhood branches with individually stated service options. Some are positioned in major retail centres, while others are set on established arterial roads, which affects how customers reach them and collect food. The official South African support pages also cover online ordering, collection and delivery, underlining a service structure that connects restaurant visits with off-site ordering and collection arrangements across the wider Johannesburg network.

748. Tawlet

     Lebanon

     Tawlet is Souk El Tayeb's Farmers' Kitchen, founded in Beirut's Mar Mikhael district in 2009 and subsequently extended to other Lebanese locations, including Ammiq in the West Bekaa and Bakish. Local cooks prepare homemade dishes from their own regions, making Lebanon's culinary variety the organising principle of the food. The open-kitchen approach encourages conversation about dishes and their origins, carrying the hospitality of a Lebanese home into the restaurant. Tawlet also operates as a social business, with profits supporting farmers, cooks and food producers. Work by local artists, artisans and designers shapes the interiors, connecting the dining spaces with the same community-based approach as the cooking.

749. Gallery by Chele

     Philippines

     Gallery by Chele occupies the fifth floor of Clipp Center in Bonifacio Global City. Chefs Chele Gonzalez and Carlos Villaflor combine Spanish-European experience with Filipino heritage, developing food through travel, local ingredients and the cooking knowledge of farmers, fishers and home cooks. The kitchen uses both local and international techniques, including traditional fermentation, to create dishes rooted in the Philippines. The same work shapes alcoholic and alcohol-free drinks, with local flavours, house ferments and natural beverages available individually or in pairings. Stvdio Lab extends the restaurant's research through a test kitchen and collaborations with universities and institutions studying agriculture, ingredients, food methods and technology.

750. Malliouhana

     Meads Bay, Anguilla

     Malliouhana stands on a bluff above Meads Bay, with its grounds descending towards the beach and the smaller setting of Turtle Cove. The elevated position gives the resort expansive sea views, while terraces, tropical planting and a cascading infinity pool create a series of places to pause between the rooms and the sand. Guestrooms and suites are notably spacious, with private terraces and a choice of garden, ocean-view or beachfront positions. Interiors use colour and decorative detail to create a lively residential atmosphere. Larger suites provide separate living areas and additional bedrooms, making the property adaptable for couples, families and small groups who want room to spread out. Food is an important part of the stay, with Caribbean Table, Bar Soleil and Leon’s on Meads Bay offering distinct settings. The latter brings a more relaxed beachside mood, while the main resort lends itself to longer meals and evening drinks. A spa, wellness activities and family experiences complement swimming and coastal excursions. Together, the bluff-top setting and accessible beach give Malliouhana both perspective and immediacy.

751. Hotel Le Toiny

     Toiny, Saint Barthélemy

     Hotel Le Toiny occupies a hillside above Toiny Bay on Saint Barthélemy, with 22 villa suites arranged to make the most of space and ocean views. Each suite has a private pool and a broad terrace, creating a self contained setting for much of the day. One and two bedroom layouts provide options for couples or guests travelling together without changing the hotel's intimate scale. The accommodation places outdoor living at the centre of the experience, with the pool and terrace extending the interior towards the bay. This is a place for unhurried mornings and time spent watching the changing light over the water. The separation between suites gives guests a degree of privacy, while the resort's shared areas provide opportunities for a more social afternoon or evening. La Table serves a menu combining Japanese and Latin American influences in an elevated setting. At the Beach Club below, Mediterranean flavours and grilled dishes accompany a more informal atmosphere, with sunbeds, hammocks and a swimming pool close to the sand. A massage cottage adds another option for relaxation. Le Toiny's distinctive balance is between the quiet of a private pool suite and the livelier, open air character of its dining and beach spaces.

752. Sambal Shiok

     London, UK

     Sambal Shiok is a restaurant in London, UK.

753. Jumeirah Mosque

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     Jumeirah Mosque stands on Jumeirah Beach Road, where pale stone, paired minarets and a central dome create a recognisable landmark within Dubai's coastal neighbourhoods. Opened in 1979, it has a comparatively intimate scale beside the city's newer monumental buildings. Its carefully detailed façade rewards a close look, particularly where arches and carved surfaces catch the changing light. The mosque is also the setting for a long-running cultural programme organised by the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Centre for Cultural Understanding. Guided visits explain Islamic practice, local customs and the building's role in daily life, with time for questions. This conversational approach is a defining part of the experience and makes the visit relevant to people with little previous knowledge of the subject. The adjoining majlis includes heritage displays, a photography gallery and opportunities to try Emirati refreshments. These elements broaden the visit beyond architecture and provide context for the surrounding city. Visitors follow the mosque's arrangements for access and modest dress, as it remains a place of worship. The combination of a working mosque and an approachable cultural programme gives Jumeirah a particular place in Dubai's visitor landscape.

754. Six Senses Ninh Van Bay

     Vietnam

     Six Senses Ninh Van Bay feels island-like, although it occupies a mainland bay reached only by water. Large rock formations, a white-sand beach and a mountain backdrop give the resort its distinctive geography. Private-pool villas are positioned to offer different relationships with the landscape. Beachfront villas have gardens and direct beach access, while Water Pool Villas stand at the water's edge with wooden steps leading into the sea. Terraces and sun decks extend the accommodation outdoors. The choice of villa matters here: the beach offers easy access to sand, while the water-edge accommodation puts swimming and snorkelling close to the room. A dedicated Guest Experience Maker helps guests arrange their time within the resort.

755. The Pig – on the Beach

     Studland, UK

     The Pig – on the Beach is the restaurant at THE PIG’s Studland Bay property in Dorset, set on Manor Road in Studland above the Jurassic Coast. The operator presents it as part of the cliff-top hotel rather than a separate venue, with a conservatory-style dining room and terraces for outdoor tables when the weather suits. Its position overlooking Studland Bay and towards Old Harry Rocks is central to the setting and the way the restaurant is experienced. The menu follows THE PIG’s seasonal, kitchen-garden-led approach, with a 25-mile brief shaped by produce from the walled Kitchen Garden and by nearby suppliers. The restaurant page says dishes change daily according to what is fresh and available, and that the cooking uses British ingredients such as Dorset fish, lamb, venison and seasonal vegetables. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, and the offering also includes a children’s menu, pudding menu, bar menu and wine list. An on-site Garden Oven provides a more informal outdoor dining option, with wood-fired food served outside in suitable weather. The restaurant information also notes that breakfast is open to non-residents, while lunch and evening dining are available with advance booking recommended. Drinks are part of the experience too, with a bar and lounge setting and a wine list that gives emphasis to English producers alongside other drinks. Overall, THE PIG-on the beach presents as a coastal restaurant defined by its location as much as its cooking. The character is relaxed rather than formal, with British dishes, daily variation and visible links to the surrounding landscape. Sea views, garden produce and the Studland Bay setting all shape the atmosphere, giving the restaurant a clear sense of place without separating it from the wider hotel operation.

756. Jubilee Ballroom at Raffles Singapore

     Singapore, Singapore

     The Jubilee Ballroom at Raffles Singapore provides a formal setting for weddings and celebrations within the Beach Road hotel. Cream and gold interiors, chandeliers and details inspired by the property’s Victorian heritage create a room with a clear connection to its surroundings. The effect is particularly suited to a seated occasion in which dining, conversation and the setting share the focus. An air-conditioned pre-function foyer gives guests a separate space in which to arrive and gather before moving into the ballroom. That division is useful when a celebration includes drinks, photographs and a dinner reception. The room can be dressed around an individual theme, with floral arrangements and table settings used to shape the atmosphere without losing the underlying architectural character. The hotel’s wedding specialists work with couples on menus and the other elements of the day. Suites, restaurants and spa facilities provide options for guests who wish to make the gathering part of a longer stay in Singapore. For hosts, the venue combines the practical support of an established hotel with a ballroom whose decorative style remains closely associated with the Raffles setting.

757. Saint Lucia

     Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia

     Saint Lucia is a volcanic island in the eastern Caribbean, with forested mountains, cultivated valleys and a coastline that changes from sheltered bays to more exposed Atlantic shores. The Pitons near Soufrière provide its most recognisable profile, but the island’s appeal also lies in the variety of places between them and the livelier communities farther north. Choosing a base helps determine the rhythm of a stay. Around Soufrière, volcanic landscapes, botanical gardens and rainforest outings sit alongside beaches and opportunities to explore the coast by boat. Rodney Bay and Gros Islet offer another atmosphere, with a concentration of restaurants, marinas and evening activity. Inland roads reveal a greener landscape of hills and villages, making a journey across the island an experience to allow time for rather than simply a transfer. Creole food, music and cocoa-related experiences connect visitors with Saint Lucian culture. A holiday can combine a beach resort with guided walks, snorkelling or visits to local communities, without needing to fill every day. The island particularly rewards travellers who balance its celebrated scenery with the people and food that give each part of the coast its own character.

     Sushi Oyama is a restaurant in Shanghai, China.

762. Statue of Liberty National Monument

     New York, United States

     The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbour, where the approach by ferry gives the monument its full setting. The copper figure, now patinated green, was a gift from France and has become closely associated with ideas of liberty and welcome. Seeing it from the water places the statue alongside the harbour and the skyline that surrounds it. On the island, paths allow visitors to study the figure from different angles, including the folds of the robe, the tablet and the raised torch. The Statue of Liberty Museum adds the story of its creation and meaning, with the original torch among the objects on display. Those details give the visit more depth than a view of the exterior alone. Access inside the pedestal or up to the crown requires the appropriate reservation. These options offer different perspectives and should be arranged as part of the visit rather than assumed to accompany general island access. The crown involves a staircase climb, while the pedestal balcony provides views across the harbour. Allowing time for the ferry journey, museum and island grounds creates a rounded visit to a monument whose setting remains integral to its significance.

763. 400 Gradi

     400 Gradi is a restaurant in Melbourne, Australia.

764. Le Garçon Saigon

     Hong Kong

     Le Garçon Saigon is a restaurant in Hong Kong.

765. Zurich Airport

     Kloten, Switzerland

     Zurich Airport is both an international gateway and a place that people visit without taking a flight. Located in Kloten, it brings passenger terminals together with shops, restaurants and transport connections, while public attractions allow visitors to see the airport from a different angle. The layout makes the distinction between public areas and the spaces reserved for passengers important when planning a visit. Observation Deck B is a particular draw. Its walkway overlooks aircraft on the apron, with information points explaining the aircraft and their destinations. A children's play area adds another reason for families to linger. The deck has its own security screening and provides a place to watch airport operations without entering the departure gates. Beyond the terminal complex, Airport Park offers a contrasting setting of paths, greenery and viewpoints beside the Circle. Within the airport, dining and shopping options cater to quick connections as well as more leisurely visits. Rail, tram and bus links support onward travel, while baggage storage is useful for people with time to explore the public facilities. This combination of transport, open-air viewing and accessible green space gives Zurich Airport a character that extends beyond its flight schedule.

766. The Cliff

     Derricks, Barbados

     The Cliff occupies a waterfront position at Derricks on Barbados’ west coast, with dining spaces looking directly over the Caribbean. The relationship with the water gives the restaurant its character: an elevated perspective, an open coastal outlook and a setting that becomes particularly atmospheric as daylight fades. The kitchen offers an à la carte menu alongside a separate sushi selection, allowing diners to choose between a conventional sequence of courses and a meal centred on Japanese preparations. The cooking draws on ingredients from both Barbados and further afield, with seafood naturally prominent in the restaurant’s identity. The breadth of the menu makes it possible for a table to pursue different tastes within the same formal dining experience. An upper-level private dining room provides a more secluded setting for celebrations, while the main restaurant keeps the sea in view throughout the meal. The atmosphere is polished and occasion-led, making time for a drink and an unhurried dinner part of the appeal. The Cliff suits travellers looking to explore Barbados’ restaurant scene through an evening built around cuisine and coastal scenery.

767. Riwaz

     Switzerland

     Riwaz is a restaurant in Switzerland.

768. Coex

     Seoul, South Korea

     Coex brings exhibitions, conferences and public events into the busy Gangnam district of Seoul. Its halls sit within a wider complex of shopping, dining and hospitality, so a visit can move easily from a specialist trade show to an evening meal or time exploring the neighbourhood. The setting feels integrated with the city, giving the venue a different character from an exhibition ground on the outskirts. The event facilities include several exhibition halls, an auditorium, a grand ballroom and smaller conference rooms. Spaces such as Platz and Studio 159 extend the options for presentations, launches and events with a broadcast component. Organisers can combine a substantial exhibition with talks or business meetings, while the choice of rooms allows more intimate gatherings to retain their own atmosphere. Visitors benefit from the surrounding transport connections and the range of services available within the complex. It is still useful to check the relevant floor and entrance, as the wider development is extensive. Coex suits events that want a strong urban context, with Gangnam's commercial energy and the everyday activity of the adjoining mall continuing beyond the formal exhibition programme.

769. Embraer Praetor 600E

     São José dos Campos, Brazil

     The Embraer Praetor 600E develops the Praetor cabin around more flexible seating and a broader range of passenger controls. Designed for international journeys in the super midsize category, it has a flat floor and a standing-height interior, with an upgraded galley supporting meals during longer flights. The emphasis is on making the cabin easier to adapt as passengers move between work, entertainment and rest. An optional Smart Window is a distinctive feature. This 42-inch 4K OLED touchscreen can show films, support video calls or display views from external cameras. Paired with an optional divan, it creates a shared area for a presentation or a relaxed evening on board. Redesigned seats include electrically assisted adjustment and a lounge position, with improved conversion for sleeping. The cabin management system controls lighting, temperature and entertainment, with further options including voice commands and wireless charging. In the cockpit, full fly-by-wire controls incorporate active turbulence reduction, alongside enhanced vision and runway awareness systems. For travellers, the Praetor 600E offers an adaptable environment in which digital features and practical furnishings work together, although the exact equipment depends on the aircraft selected.

770. ITC (formerly Inspiring Travel)

     Chester, United Kingdom

     ITC, the travel company formerly presented as Inspiring Travel, plans bespoke holidays from its base in Chester. The Caribbean remains a central part of a wider portfolio that also includes private villas, long-haul journeys and distinctive hotel stays around the world. Its approach places the relationship with an individual travel specialist at the centre of the planning process. Caribbean options range from established beachfront resorts to more secluded accommodation, with destinations such as Barbados, Antigua and the Grenadines offering different rhythms of island life. Advisors draw on first-hand travel experience to discuss room categories, dining, family facilities and the practical details of arrival. Private residences provide another route for groups seeking more space and a household-style arrangement. The service can coordinate flights, private transfers and additional experiences, with concierge support helping to shape the stay beyond the initial booking. This is particularly relevant when a celebration, family gathering or complex itinerary needs careful organisation. The resulting holiday is built around personal preferences, with the hotel and its surroundings considered as closely as the route used to reach them.

771. Bandon Dunes

     Bandon, United States

     Bandon Dunes is the original course at its namesake resort on the southern Oregon coast. Designed by David McLay Kidd, it occupies sandy ground above the Pacific, where open space, coastal grass and changing weather establish the character of the round. The setting encourages golf that responds to the land, with the ocean appearing repeatedly as play moves across the property. Generous fairways offer choices, but the right side of the landing area is not always obvious. Uneven ground, bunkers and wind reward consideration of the next shot rather than distance alone. Approaches can use the contours around the greens, making imagination part of the challenge. Holes close to the coast provide dramatic views without becoming detached from the practical business of playing links golf. The wider resort supplies accommodation, restaurants, practice areas and caddie services, making it possible to build a stay around several rounds. Bandon Dunes remains a distinct course within that collection and should be booked by name. A visit suits golfers who enjoy walking, reading the weather and spending sustained time in a landscape where the game sets the daily rhythm.

772. Aponiente

     Spain

     Aponiente is a restaurant in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, in southern Spain, set in the old 19th-century tidal mill in the Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park. The official information places it behind the town’s railway station, beside the Caño de la Madre Vieja and close to the Guadalete marshes. Parking is available, while rail or taxi arrival is recommended, which suits a site shaped by water, salt and the estuary landscape rather than a conventional city-centre setting. The restaurant is led by Ángel León and works with a tasting-menu format built in acts, moving through snacks, cold dishes, hot dishes, desserts and petit fours. Wine pairing is offered, alongside a list of Spanish and international wines. This structure gives the meal a planned progression and places the kitchen’s marine ideas at the centre of the experience, rather than offering an à la carte approach or a more casual service style. Aponiente’s menu shows a clearly sea-led and saltmarsh-led character, with ingredients and dishes such as sea lettuce, halophytes, sea urchin, razor clams, squid, bluefin cheeks, sardines, seaweeds and tidal plants. That range reflects both the surrounding marsh environment and the restaurant’s long interest in marine biodiversity. The result is a cuisine rooted in the local estuary and coastal ecology, with flavours and textures drawn from the waters and banks around the mill. Practical details from the official FAQ note that there is no formal dress code, although long trousers and closed shoes are preferred. The meal usually lasts around three to three and a half hours, and the restaurant advises that small children can only be accommodated by prior arrangement with reservations. It does not provide highchairs or babysitting, and the overall experience is therefore geared to a settled, long-form tasting visit for adults and older diners.

773. Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles

     Istanbul, Türkiye

     Miles&Smiles links Turkish Airlines' network with Star Alliance and other programme partners, allowing eligible travel to contribute to a common rewards balance. Istanbul provides the geographic centre of the airline's operation, but the programme's earning and redemption possibilities extend across a much wider range of routes. Hotel, car hire and other partnerships add options away from the airport. Members can use miles towards eligible award tickets, upgrades and selected travel extras. Status Miles have a separate role, supporting progression through Classic, Classic Plus, Elite and Elite Plus membership. The distinction helps travellers balance the immediate appeal of a reward against the longer-term usefulness of status on journeys they expect to make regularly. Depending on tier and itinerary, benefits can include priority airport services, additional baggage and lounge access. Partner flights and codeshares do not necessarily carry the same privileges as Turkish Airlines-operated services, so the precise booking matters. The programme's appeal lies in bringing a broad network and several earning channels together. Flexible travel plans, a clear understanding of reward availability and attention to the cash charges attached to an award help members use their miles with purpose.

774. Hujan Locale

     Bali, Indonesia

     Hujan Locale is a restaurant in Bali, Indonesia.

775. Royal Davui Island Resort

     Beqa Lagoon, Fiji

     Royal Davui Island Resort occupies its own small island in Fiji's Beqa Lagoon, with just 16 villas arranged around the natural contours of the land. The resort welcomes guests aged 16 and over and keeps the island for residents, creating a quiet setting without day visitors. Each villa has an air conditioned bedroom, a broad deck and a private plunge pool looking towards the lagoon. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the stay, with menus shaped by fresh fish, seasonal produce and Fijian influences. Dining beneath the island's banyan tree is a particular feature, while meals can also be arranged in more private settings. Drinks are charged separately, an important distinction for travellers comparing the resort with properties that include an unlimited beverage programme. The surrounding lagoon provides opportunities for snorkelling, kayaking and other water activities, while diving and excursions can be arranged at additional cost. A picnic on a sand cay offers a memorable way to spend time away from the main island, and the spa provides another slower option. Royal Davui's attraction is its intimate scale: a stay can alternate between private time at the villa and relaxed meals or exploration, without a crowded resort schedule.

776. Casa de Campo

     La Romana, Dominican Republic

     Casa de Campo is a sprawling golf resort that spans over 7,000 acres of land in the Dominican Republic. The resort boasts three award-winning golf courses, including the famous Teeth of the Dog course, which is ranked among the best in the world. The resort also offers a variety of activities and amenities, such as horseback riding, tennis, shooting, fishing, sailing, a marina, a spa, and a cultural village.

777. Abyssinia

     Nairobi, Kenya

     Abyssinia is an Ethiopian restaurant in Nairobi, Kenya, based at #4 Muguga Green off Brookside Grove and Waiyaki Way in Westlands. Its own website presents it as an authentic Ethiopian dining room rather than a broad pan-African venue, and it lists vegan options alongside reservation and delivery ordering facilities. That positioning makes the branch clearly food-led, with an emphasis on a defined regional cuisine served from a fixed Nairobi address. The menu is built around Ethiopian stews, sautéed dishes and injera-based meals. Hot dishes include beef, lamb and chicken we’t, while milder alicha versions appear alongside tibs, kitfo-style preparations and several lentil, chickpea and vegetable dishes. Many plates are listed with injera or in traditional pots, which points to a shared-table style of dining and a service format rooted in Ethiopian custom rather than conventional plated restaurant cooking. The restaurant’s story page refers to traditional recipes, fresh ingredients and classic elements such as berbere, niter kibbeh and injera. It describes Ethiopian cuisine as centred on spicy vegetable and meat dishes, and the menu extends that approach with fish, beef, lamb, chicken and vegetarian combinations. Taken together, the published material shows a kitchen set up to cover mixed diets while remaining anchored in a specifically Ethiopian flavour profile and method of service. Overall, Abyssinia appears to be a specialist neighbourhood restaurant focused on one cuisine rather than a general international menu. Its online materials emphasise made-to-order dishes, hand-eaten injera meals and delivery from the same kitchen, suggesting a casual but culturally distinct experience in Westlands. For diners in central Nairobi, the branch offers a clearly defined Ethiopian option with enough meat-free and meat-based choices to suit different tables without diluting its regional character.

778. Nobu Cape Town

     South Africa

     Nobu Cape Town brings Nobuyuki Matsuhisa’s Japanese-Peruvian cooking to One&Only Cape Town at the V&A Waterfront. The restaurant offers a recognisable international style while providing a distinctive dining destination within the waterfront hotel. The menu includes signatures such as black cod with miso and yellowtail with jalapeño. These dishes illustrate the combination of Japanese technique and bolder accents that defines the Nobu approach. A wider selection of hot dishes and sushi allows the meal to be built in different ways, from a focused choice of favourites to a longer exploration of the menu. The associated bar and lounge add an option for drinks around dinner. For visitors already familiar with Nobu, this is a South African setting for established signatures. For newcomers, the menu provides several clear starting points for understanding the restaurant’s style.

779. Gucci Osteria

     Florence, Italy

     Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura is a restaurant on Piazza della Signoria in Florence, with its official Florence pages giving the address as Piazza della Signoria 10 in the city’s historic centre. It is distinct from Gucci Giardino, the related bar and café venue at Piazza della Signoria 37r. The Florence restaurant pages present menus and booking for this specific branch, making clear that the dining room operates as its own destination within the wider Gucci hospitality presence on the square. In Florence, Michelin identifies Karime López and Takahiko Kondo as leading the kitchen, while an official menu page presents Kondo’s cooking as informed by international careers, culinary travel, art and music. The food centres on contemporary interpretations rather than straightforward traditional reproductions. Current dishes listed for Florence include Think Green, Journey to Modena, Non dire cassate, Rossini, thanks, Cacciucco’s dreaming and Animella mia!. Pasta offerings on the same menu include tortellini with Parmigiano Reggiano cream and spaghetti with pistachio and bergamot. Michelin classifies the cuisine here as Italian Contemporary with International influences, matching a restaurant identity built around Italian references viewed through a broader lens. Its Florence listing describes elegant interiors with hand-painted parquet flooring, and also notes practical features including air conditioning, a terrace and acceptance of credit cards. Those details suggest a polished dining room with a strong visual character, set within one of Florence’s most recognisable civic spaces and shaped by a collaboration associated with Gucci and Massimo Bottura. The overall impression is of a centrally located Florence restaurant with a clearly defined personality and a menu that uses playful dish names alongside familiar Italian ingredients and formats. Rather than presenting itself as a conventional trattoria, it combines design-conscious surroundings with cooking that draws from travel and varied cultural influences. The Piazza della Signoria address, the distinction from the separate Giardino venue, and the combination of contemporary cuisine and carefully described interiors give this branch an identity that is specific to Florence rather than interchangeable with other names in the group.

     Barcelona, Spain

     Green Spot is a restaurant in Barcelona, Spain.

782. Tortuga Bay Puntacana Resort

     Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

     Tortuga Bay occupies a private beachfront enclave within Puntacana Resort on the Dominican Republic’s eastern coast. Its collection of pale yellow villas has interiors originally conceived by Oscar de la Renta, creating a restrained Caribbean style that emphasises natural textures, open space and proximity to the shore. Suites are arranged within thirteen villas, with configurations ranging from one to four bedrooms. This gives the hotel an intimate scale while accommodating both couples and families. Balconies and terraces extend the rooms outdoors, and the low-rise setting keeps the beach and gardens close. Larger configurations allow travelling companions to share a home-like environment without giving up hotel service. Bamboo Restaurant combines locally sourced ingredients with Mediterranean influences in a setting that continues the hotel’s design language. Guests can also use facilities across the wider Puntacana Resort, including golf, further restaurants and the ecological reserve. The ability to retreat to a compact beachfront hotel while drawing on a much larger resort’s activities is Tortuga Bay’s defining advantage for a varied, comfortably paced holiday.

783. JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort

     Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

     JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort places an all-villa retreat within a short sea transfer of the international airport. The arrival jetty takes its shape from the flight of the maakana, or grey heron, introducing a design language inspired by Maldivian life. Across the resort, thatched roofs, turquoise doors and references to local lacquerwork give contemporary buildings a connection to the islands. The 80 villas each include a private pool, with beach and overwater settings offering different relationships to the lagoon. Terraces extend the living space outdoors, and larger residences provide additional bedrooms and areas for gathering. Personal butler service, known here as Safeeru, helps guests organise the details of a stay and discover activities around the resort. Restaurants explore Mediterranean, South American and Japanese-Peruvian flavours, alongside seafood and ingredients grown in the JW Garden. The overwater Spa by JW offers another reason to spend time close to the lagoon, with treatments and quiet spaces designed for a slower interval. The combination of accessible island geography, varied dining and accommodation with private outdoor space makes the resort well suited to families or couples seeking a flexible Maldivian stay.

784. Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana - Presidential Suite

     Cap Cana, Dominican Republic

     The Presidential Suite at Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana occupies a penthouse setting above the resort's beachfront grounds, with ocean views from its private balcony. At approximately 174 square metres, it offers a substantial retreat within this family friendly all-inclusive property on Juanillo Beach. Separate living and dining rooms allow guests to settle into a more residential routine while retaining access to the resort's shared facilities. The bedroom has a king bed, while a queen sleeper sofa provides additional flexibility. A jetted bath adds space for relaxation, and the balcony extends the suite outdoors. Butler service and personalised concierge assistance support the stay. Club benefits include access to a dedicated lounge and pool, along with an à la carte breakfast and lunch option and a separate check-in area. Beyond the accommodation, infinity pools, a water park and a lazy river provide alternatives to the beach. Restaurants offer several dining styles, and fitness facilities cater for a more active day. The underground Larimar Spa adds a distinctive wellbeing setting, with treatments and spa experiences carrying additional charges. The Presidential Suite is particularly suited to guests who want generous private space, an elevated outlook and extra service while sharing the atmosphere and facilities of a lively coastal resort.

788. Pachamama

     London, UK

     Pachamama is a Peruvian restaurant in Marylebone, London, trading at 18 Thayer Street, W1U 3JY. The business describes itself as Pachamama, London, established in 2014 by the Pachamama Group, and operates as a bar and kitchen in a central West End setting. The restaurant’s own contact page confirms the exact address and indicates that private dining is available for small groups of around twelve to fourteen guests. The menu shows a broad day-to-night offer, with weekday lunch, daily dinner, weekend brunch and drinks lists. The cooking is rooted in Peruvian flavours and ingredients, with dishes such as ceviches, anticuchos, corn ribs, tequeños, fried chicken and black cod aguadito. The drinks list includes pisco-based serves alongside wines, beers and spirits, which supports the venue’s role as both a restaurant and a social dining bar. Pachamama’s published menus also suggest a kitchen that balances sharing plates, seafood and meat with vegetarian and vegan options. Starters and snacks include padrón peppers, smashed cucumbers and Brussels sprouts, while larger plates range from grilled sea bass and Galician octopus to lamb anticuchos and mushroom ceviche. This points to a menu designed for flexible ordering, whether for a quick lunch, a longer dinner or a mixed group meal. The official site presents the restaurant as an atmospheric, contemporary place for eating and drinking rather than a formal fine-dining room. Its central Marylebone location, private dining provision and varied service periods indicate a business geared towards neighbourhood lunches, evening meals and celebratory gatherings. The overall impression from the operator’s pages is of a lively Peruvian restaurant with a strong bar element and a shareable, ingredient-led menu.

789. Nicole

     Turkey

     Nicole occupies the top floor of Tomtom Suites in Istanbul, with a terrace looking towards the Old Town and Princes’ Islands. The restored 1901 building once housed Franciscan nuns, and the restaurant takes its name from former owner Agnés Marthe Nicole. Traditional Turkish cooking is interpreted through contemporary tasting menus. Recent courses include Circassian duck, Balıkesir lamb with mutancana and a Datça almond dessert, giving regional references a place within the progression. Menus of different lengths are offered, with local or international wine pairings and a beer pairing. A vegetarian menu can be requested. The terrace and historical setting make the restaurant especially suited to a meal given time and attention.

790. Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts

     New York, United States

     Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts occupies a substantial cultural campus on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Around its plazas and fountain, performance buildings bring together orchestral music, opera, ballet, theatre and other arts. The experience extends beyond any one auditorium, with the architecture and public spaces giving visitors a place to gather before and after a show. Josie Robertson Plaza forms a natural centre, framed by the Metropolitan Opera House, David Geffen Hall and the David H. Koch Theater. The Revson Fountain provides a familiar focal point, while other outdoor areas and smaller venues offer different settings for performances and events. David Geffen Hall adds public gathering spaces alongside its concert facilities, encouraging visitors to spend time on campus outside the formal programme. The surrounding neighbourhood offers restaurants, cafés and transport connections, making an evening performance easy to combine with a broader New York visit. Event spaces range from large cultural venues to terraces and plazas, with the character of a gathering shaped by its chosen location. Lincoln Center is particularly rewarding for travellers who want to experience several strands of the city's artistic life within a coherent and walkable setting.

791. St. Moritz

     Swiss Alps

     St. Moritz sits at 1,856 metres in the Engadin, with the surrounding mountains shaping its appeal in both winter and summer. The town combines Alpine sport with restaurants, hotels and cultural spaces, giving visitors more than a single-purpose ski destination. Corviglia and Piz Nair provide the principal mountain setting above town. In winter, ski slopes are the focus; in warmer months, hiking trails and mountain views offer a different way to experience the same terrain. Mountain restaurants range from rustic huts to more formal dining rooms. Back in town, the Design Gallery and public art add a cultural element between outdoor activities. St. Moritz suits travellers who want to combine time in the mountains with a developed resort town, where the landscape remains central throughout the year.

792. Zaatar w Zeit

     Canada

     Zaatar w Zeit is a restaurant in Canada.

793. Laluna Boutique Hotel & Villas

     St George's, Grenada

     Laluna Boutique Hotel & Villas overlooks Portici Bay on Grenada's south western coast, bringing together Balinese influenced design, Caribbean surroundings and an Italian approach to food. The family run hotel has 16 cottages, with a small collection of larger villas nearby. The scale is intimate, and the setting encourages a relaxed routine shaped by the beach and the changing light over the bay. Cottages have private plunge pools and outdoor living areas, with different positions offering garden or sea views. Some are detached and others share a structure, so the degree of separation varies by category. Natural textures and open air spaces create an informal atmosphere, while the pools provide somewhere private to cool off between trips to the beach. The larger villas suit families or friends who want additional space. An Italian restaurant and the Sunset Bar & Lounge provide the main dining and evening settings, while The Monkey Bar adds a casual beachside option. The yoga pavilion sits by the sand, and an Asian spa complements the programme of movement and relaxation. Kayaking and paddleboarding offer gentle ways to explore the water. Laluna is particularly suited to travellers who enjoy individual design, small hotels and days that develop at an unhurried pace.

794. Marrakech Restaurant

     Abu Dhabi, UAE

     Marrakech Restaurant is a restaurant in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

795. Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos

     Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

     Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos offers an adults only stay on the coastal corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Its 79 suites give the property a more intimate scale than many neighbouring resorts, with private terraces and outdoor whirlpool baths extending the living space. The setting brings together desert vegetation, a broad shoreline and views across the Sea of Cortez. Food and drinks are included, with casual dining by day and a more considered restaurant experience in the evening. Loto Robata Grill draws on Japanese cooking and the slow grilling of meat, vegetables and seafood over open flames. Guests can also dine at the adjacent Grand Velas Los Cabos under the relevant arrangements, adding variety while retaining the smaller hotel as their base. An infinity pool facing the sea is the natural centre of the outdoor areas, complemented by beach seating, a fitness centre and SE Spa. A personal concierge helps organise dining and activities, while spa treatments and excursions can be considered separately. The property welcomes guests over 18 and suits couples or friends seeking a quieter resort atmosphere. Its particular strength is the combination of spacious suites and the dining resources of a larger neighbour.

796. Hanoi Hannah

     Melbourne, Australia

     Hanoi Hannah Express Lane is a Vietnamese restaurant at 186 High Street in Windsor, Melbourne, operating under the Hanoi Hannah name in the Chapel Street area. The available official pages distinguish it from the broader Hanoi Hannah Vol. II offering and present Express Lane as its own venue and menu. Its food centres on Vietnamese dishes interpreted for a casual inner-city setting, with a compact selection that moves from snacks and small plates to noodle soups, curries, rice dishes and stir-fries. The menu includes prawn spring rolls, Hanoi veg spring rolls, lime and pepper squid and chicken ribs among the opening dishes, followed by a range of larger bowls and plates. Several pho options are listed, alongside mini pho and broth for smaller appetites. Beyond soups, the selection extends to curries, rice dishes, vermicelli salads and stir-fries served with flat rice noodles. Menu symbols also indicate vegan and gluten-free choices, helping clarify dietary options across the range. Drinks on the Express Lane menu include Vietnamese-style iced coffee, fresh coconut and a coco-spresso, which sit neatly with the restaurant’s quick, informal style. The official Hanoi Hannah site describes the wider Windsor offer as modern Vietnamese, and that description fits the mix of familiar street-food references and contemporary presentation shown across the menu. Rather than a lengthy catalogue, the food and drink list reads as a focused offering designed for straightforward lunches, relaxed dinners and lighter stop-ins built around bowls, snacks and sides. Taken together, these details point to a neighbourhood restaurant with an accessible, urban character rather than a formal dining room. The menu balances recognisable Vietnamese favourites with a concise format that allows diners to combine spring rolls or squid with pho, vermicelli salads or noodle-based stir-fries. In Windsor, that gives Hanoi Hannah Express Lane a clear identity: a modern Vietnamese spot built around flexible, easy-to-share dishes and individual bowls, with enough variety to suit either a quick meal or a more leisurely casual visit.

797. Mugaritz

     San Sebastián

     At Mugaritz, Andoni Luis Aduriz treats a meal as an invitation to question familiar ideas about food. Established in 1998, the restaurant occupies an old farmhouse outside San Sebastián, where the kitchen draws on other disciplines to explore flavour, texture and the expectations diners bring to the table. Each year the team spends around six months researching a new proposal before sharing it during the dining season. The experience changes with that research rather than revolving around an unchanging collection of signature dishes. For 2026, the focus is on assumptions about pleasure, luxury and familiarity, giving the meal an intellectual thread alongside its culinary experiments.

798. McCormick Place

     Chicago, United States

     McCormick Place occupies a substantial campus beside Lake Michigan, south of Chicago's central business district. Its North, South, West and Lakeside buildings bring together exhibition halls, meeting rooms and event spaces, creating a setting for large conventions and trade shows. The lakefront location gives the complex a geographic identity that extends beyond the practical demands of a business gathering. Different buildings offer distinct arrangements of halls and conference facilities, allowing exhibitions, presentations and smaller meetings to form part of the same programme. The Arie Crown Theater adds a performance setting within the Lakeside Center, while the wider McCormick Square district includes hotels, restaurants and the Wintrust Arena. This concentration helps visitors organise a stay around events with several related activities. The campus is extensive, so the building and entrance on an event registration are useful details to establish before arrival. Transport connections link the district with downtown Chicago, where museums, architecture and restaurants can broaden a working trip. McCormick Place is particularly suited to visitors who value a complete event district, with substantial indoor facilities balanced by the presence of the lake and the cultural attractions of the wider city.

800. Infinity Pool at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti

     Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

     The infinity pool at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti looks across open savannah towards a watering hole in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. Its free-form outline brings a relaxed swimming space into the safari setting, with the landscape continuing beyond the water's edge. The possibility of seeing animals nearby gives time at the pool a distinctive quality, even on a day spent largely at the lodge. Loungers around the terrace provide a comfortable position for watching changes in light and movement across the plains. Elephants and other wildlife visit the watering hole, though sightings follow their own natural patterns. The appeal is in remaining attentive to the setting: a quiet interval between swims can become part of the wider wildlife experience without leaving the lodge. Rooms, suites and villas provide a base for guided game drives and other excursions, while the spa and restaurants allow a gentler pace between outings. The Discovery Centre adds context on local wildlife, Maasai culture and conservation research. The shared infinity pool is a central part of that balance, offering a place to return after a morning in the bush while keeping the surrounding Serengeti visibly present.

801. La Vaca Loca

     Santiago, Chile

     La Vaca Loca is a restaurant in Santiago, Chile.

802. EVA Air Royal Laurel Class

     Taoyuan, Taiwan

     EVA Air's Royal Laurel Class offers a distinct business cabin aboard its Boeing 787 and 777-300ER aircraft. On the Dreamliner, the seat combines a fully flat bed with adjustable privacy panels and built in storage. The Boeing 777 uses a different, angled arrangement, with fixed panels defining each passenger's space and a bed extending to approximately two metres. Both designs put useful details within reach, including a large table, power connections and personal entertainment. The 787 has an 18 inch touchscreen and noise cancelling headphones, while the 777 seat includes a place for a jacket, a shoe cabinet and a cocktail table. These features allow the space to alternate between a meal, a film and sleep without constantly repacking personal belongings. Sleepwear and amenity items add to the long haul experience. Dining combines international main courses with Asian flavours, supported by an advance meal ordering service on eligible flights. Lounge access, dedicated check in and priority baggage handling extend the experience onto the ground. Royal Laurel should be distinguished from EVA's other premium cabin products: the exact seat, entertainment and amenities vary by aircraft and route. Checking the flight details is the clearest way to select the desired configuration.

803. Plenitude - Cheval Blanc Paris

     France

     Plénitude is Arnaud Donckele's intimate gastronomic restaurant on the first floor of Cheval Blanc Paris, on Quai du Louvre. Its menus give sauces an unusually prominent role, building each dish around complex blends that express the seasons and the produce of French regions. Fish, meat and desserts are conceived in relation to these preparations, making the sauces the connecting thread of the meal. The tasting menus include Symphony and Sail Away Together. Service introduces the individual blends and their place within each course, extending the restaurant's attention to aroma and flavour from the kitchen to the table.

804. Grand Egyptian Museum

     Giza, Egypt

     Near the pyramids on the western side of Greater Cairo, the Grand Egyptian Museum presents ancient Egypt within a spacious contemporary complex. The approach moves from outdoor grounds into the Grand Hall, where a colossal statue of Ramesses II establishes the scale of the collection. Architecture and monumental sculpture work together to make the arrival part of the museum experience. The Main Galleries explore the development of ancient Egyptian civilisation, while the Grand Stairs bring visitors into contact with large stone representations of kingship and religious belief. The Tutankhamun Galleries provide a more concentrated encounter with objects associated with the young king and his tomb. Khufu's Boats Museum adds another dimension, connecting surviving material evidence with the ceremonial and technical world of the pyramid age. This is a destination that benefits from an unhurried allocation of time. Guided tours can give structure to the extensive displays, with the commercial area and exterior gardens offering places to pause between galleries. Its proximity to the Giza plateau allows a museum visit and the archaeological landscape to inform each other, revealing both the objects of ancient Egypt and the settings that gave them meaning.

     Sydney, Australia

     Braza Churrascaria is a restaurant in Sydney, Australia.

     London, UK

     Casa Portuguesa is a restaurant in London, UK.

807. Nosy Iranja Beach

     Nosy Iranja, Madagascar

     Nosy Iranja is a pair of small islands off Madagascar's north-western coast, connected at low tide by a long sweep of white sand. The beach is inseparable from this changing geography: turquoise water surrounds the sandbank, while the two green islands provide a natural frame at either end. Approaching by boat makes the contrast between open sea, shallows and pale shore especially clear. Time here can be divided between walking on the sand, swimming and exploring the larger island. Fishing villages and a lighthouse add interest beyond the beach, with the higher ground offering a wider view of the surrounding water. Local excursions may also include snorkelling or other marine activities, depending on the operator and conditions on the day. Tides are central to the visit, as the connecting strip of sand becomes covered when the water rises. The smaller island is privately managed, so access should follow local arrangements. Nosy Iranja is also associated with nesting sea turtles, adding an ecological dimension to its familiar postcard view. An unhurried visit leaves space to appreciate how the landscape changes as the sea moves across the sandbank.

809. The Oberoi Udaivilas Lake-View Pools

     Udaipur, India

     The pools at The Oberoi Udaivilas are woven into the architecture of a resort overlooking Lake Pichola. Domes, colonnades and pale stone frame the water, creating a swimming setting closely connected to Udaipur's palace tradition. Views towards the lake and City Palace belong to selected areas and accommodation categories, while other pools and terraces face gardens or interior courtyards. The resort has two temperature-controlled shared pools with Mughal-inspired design details. The main pool welcomes all hotel guests, while the spa pool is reserved for adults. Selected rooms connect to a semi-private pool directly from their terraces, and certain suites have private pools. These are distinct experiences, so the appropriate room category matters for anyone planning a stay around direct water access or a particular outlook. The appeal is architectural as much as panoramic: reflections emphasise the domes and arches, while shaded walkways and loungers encourage time beside the water. Restaurants, the spa and the resort's lakeside setting add to a leisurely stay. For visitors exploring Udaipur, returning to these carefully framed pools offers a quieter continuation of the city's relationship with water and palatial design.

810. The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort

811. The Hussar Grill

     Cape Town, South Africa

     The Hussar Grill Rondebosch is a restaurant at 14 Main Road in Rondebosch, Cape Town, identified on the operator’s location page as a distinct branch of The Hussar Grill. That page also lists the local telephone number and states that the restaurant offers a liquor licence, on-site services and takeaway. These details place it as a sit-down dining venue in Cape Town with both in-restaurant service and an option for guests who prefer to collect food to go. The food offering follows the company’s stated classic grill room dining style. On the main menu, the operator highlights expertly aged steaks, tender game and char-grilled house specialities, setting a clear emphasis on meat-led dishes rather than a broad all-purpose menu. This gives the Rondebosch branch a straightforward grill-house identity built around the brand’s established format. The menu language points to a restaurant focused on traditionally styled main courses prepared over the grill and served as the centrepiece of the meal. Alongside the food menu, The Hussar Grill publishes an eat-in only wine list, showing that wine service forms part of the intended restaurant experience rather than a takeaway add-on. The operator also publishes a seasonal lunch menu, available Monday to Saturday from 12 till 4pm, which adds a defined daytime dining option to the branch’s broader offer. Together, these details show a restaurant structured around table service, with a combination of core grill dishes, daytime lunch availability and wines intended for consumption on site. The overall picture is of a Rondebosch restaurant built around the Hussar Grill’s established dining format. Verified branch details support practical services such as takeaway and on-site dining, while the published menus define the style more specifically through steaks, game, char-grilled specialities, an eat-in wine list and a separate seasonal lunch menu. Rather than suggesting a wide-ranging concept, the available information presents this branch as a focused grill restaurant in Cape Town with a menu and service model shaped by the operator’s classic approach.

812. Brotzeit

     Hong Kong

     Brotzeit is a restaurant in Hong Kong.

813. Blue Marlin Ibiza

     Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain

     Blue Marlin Ibiza brings together beach lounging, dining and music on Cala Jondal, on the southern coast of the island. Its terraces face the bay, with sunbeds and larger daybeds providing a base beside the shore. Guests can arrive for breakfast, settle into a longer beach day or build an evening around the restaurant and music programme. The venue separates its beach, restaurant and lounge-club areas, each offering a different way to use the setting. Food and drinks are available through the day, with the restaurant providing a more structured meal and the lounge accommodating an aperitif or a later gathering. This arrangement allows a visit to change pace without leaving the same address, although the individual areas may require separate reservations. Music is fundamental to the Blue Marlin experience, with a seasonal calendar of resident and visiting performers. The atmosphere generally becomes more animated as the day progresses, making it particularly suitable for travellers who want a social beach setting. A day here can begin with the light and space of the bay and finish with a much stronger emphasis on sound and shared company.

814. Presidential Suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     The Presidential Suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai brings a substantial private residence into the hotel's beachfront setting at Jumeirah Beach Residence. Located in the Ghoroob Wing, it looks towards the Arabian Gulf, combining an elevated coastal outlook with access to the resort's gardens and shore. The atmosphere is residential, with separate rooms allowing guests to settle into their own rhythm. The two-bedroom accommodation extends across approximately 240 square metres. A generous living room provides space to gather away from the sleeping areas, while the suite's distinctive wellness feature is a private hammam and steam room. This arrangement gives bathing and relaxation a place within the accommodation itself, adding a different dimension to a stay than a conventional bedroom and bathroom layout. Club Lounge access complements time in the suite, and the wider hotel offers restaurants, swimming pools and a spa. The beachfront location also places the shops and promenades of the surrounding district close at hand. For guests travelling together, the appeal is the combination of shared living space, separate bedrooms and private wellness facilities, with the resort's broader social and outdoor experiences available beyond the door.

815. 2000 Habesha

     Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

816. Jigger & Pony

     Singapore, Singapore

     Jigger & Pony brings a sociable approach to cocktail drinking at Amara Singapore in Tanjong Pagar. Named after the bartender's double-ended measuring tool, the bar builds its identity around the precision of classic drinks and the pleasure of sharing them. Its hotel setting places it close to a neighbourhood rich in restaurants, making it an easy centrepiece for an evening or a considered stop before dinner. The menu treats familiar recipes as material for fresh interpretation. Martinis, highballs, sours and stirred drinks sit within a programme that explores ingredients and techniques while preserving a clear sense of balance. Citrus, whisky, gin and less expected accents such as wasabi give the selection variety, and changing menu themes provide a reason to return. Food, wine and beer broaden the options for a group with different preferences. Hospitality is deliberately warm and conversational. Guests can follow the menu closely or use it to begin a discussion about flavour, whether the preference is for something bright and refreshing or darker and more spirit-led. The result is a bar that accommodates serious interest in cocktails while keeping the social experience relaxed, generous and central to the visit.

821. Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque

     Muscat, Oman

     Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque occupies a spacious site in Muscat, with pale sandstone, a prominent central dome and five minarets arranged around the complex. Inaugurated in 2001, the mosque is an important expression of modern Omani religious architecture. Colonnades, courtyards and gardens give visitors room to appreciate the changing relationship between open space and enclosed prayer halls. The main hall brings together a large hand-woven Persian carpet, chandeliers and intricate decorative work. Stone, timber and patterned surfaces provide plenty of detail beneath the monumental roof. The building's scale is balanced by repeated arches and smaller passages, so the experience shifts between broad views and close inspection of individual craft elements. Non-Muslim visitors are welcomed during designated visiting periods, with modest dress and consideration for worshippers required throughout. Shoes are removed before entering prayer spaces, and the atmosphere encourages quiet observation. The mosque can be explored as part of a wider introduction to Muscat's cultural landmarks, but merits a dedicated visit for its architecture alone. Arriving with time to walk through both the gardens and the main hall provides a fuller sense of its design and purpose.

822. Labyrinth

     Singapore

     Labyrinth is a Singapore restaurant at Esplanade Mall, 8 Raffles Avenue #02-23, in the city’s civic and theatre district. The official site identifies it as a Michelin-starred restaurant founded by Chef LG Han, with the current home page describing it as a refined exploration of Singapore’s culinary heritage. The location page gives access details via City Hall and Esplanade MRT, with the dining room reached on level 2 of the mall. The restaurant’s food is presented as new Singaporean cuisine, with tasting menus built around Chef Han’s personal Singapore story and local flavours. The menu pages state that the kitchen is seafood-centric and organised as multi-course tasting menus, with lunch and dinner formats that vary by season. The restaurant also notes that menus are not fixed online because they change with produce availability. Labyrinth’s official pages indicate a full-service fine-dining experience rather than an a la carte venue. Guests are told to allow around three hours for dinner, and the site lists private and corporate enquiry options, suggesting a strongly reservation-led operation. The team page also names key front-of-house and kitchen staff, including a maitre d’ and beverage director, which supports a structured dining service. The atmosphere appears rooted in contemporary Singaporean storytelling rather than generic luxury. Labyrinth says its mission is to create episodes that invoke the senses through memories and narratives, and its dietaries guidance shows a highly specialised kitchen with limits on certain vegetarian and allergen requests. Taken together, the restaurant presents itself as a carefully staged tasting-room experience focused on Singapore identity, seafood and considered service.

825. Sushi Yoshitake

     Japan

Chef Masahiro Yoshitake oversees the presentation, tableware and flowers as well as the cooking.

826. Sagrada Família

     Barcelona, Spain

     The Sagrada Família brings Antoni Gaudí's architectural imagination into the middle of Barcelona, with sculpted façades and towers that draw the eye upwards before the visit begins. Its design uses religious symbolism throughout, but the interior also offers an immediate sensory experience. Structure, natural light and colour work together to create a setting that changes through the day. Inside, branching columns suggest a forest, carrying the vaults above while allowing light to reach deep into the nave. The stained-glass windows use cooler colours on the Nativity side and warmer reds and oranges on the Passion side. Higher windows admit clearer light, emphasising the vaults and the vertical scale of the space. Looking slowly between the glass, columns and ceiling reveals how these elements support one another. The contrasting façades add another layer to the visit, with their sculptural treatment expressing different parts of the Christian story. This remains a place of worship as well as a major architectural attraction, and visitors should allow time to experience the interior without treating it simply as a succession of photographs. Choosing the intended ticket and any additional access in advance helps make room for a more considered encounter with the building.

828. Nomadic Matt (Matt Kepnes)

     United States

     Matt Kepnes writes as Nomadic Matt, with a focus on making independent travel more manageable and affordable. His website approaches a journey through the decisions that shape it: saving money, choosing a destination, finding flights, booking accommodation and understanding likely costs. The tone is practical and personal, drawing on the experience of travelling with the same constraints faced by many readers. Destination guides and planning features sit alongside discussions of hostels, transport, packing and life on the road. Detailed cost breakdowns help turn a broad travel idea into a workable budget, while interviews and accounts from other travellers widen the perspective. The emphasis is on understanding the choices available, whether someone is preparing for a short holiday or a longer journey through several countries. Kepnes began the website in 2008 and has also written books, including How to Travel the World on $75 a Day and the memoir Ten Years a Nomad. These extend the site’s two complementary strands: practical advice and reflection on the experience of travel itself. His official platform suits readers who value concrete planning information, an individual voice and attention to the ordinary details of moving between places.

829. iGA Istanbul Airport

     Istanbul, Türkiye

     iGA Istanbul Airport serves the European side of Istanbul with a large terminal designed around international departures, arrivals and connecting journeys. Its scale is immediately apparent in the long concourses and extensive choice of shops and restaurants. For passengers with time between flights, the airport offers several ways to move beyond the usual gate-side wait, from art displays to lounges and places to rest. The terminal includes hotel accommodation on both the public and international transit sides. These serve different journeys: the landside hotel suits travellers entering or leaving Türkiye, while the airside option is intended for eligible international connections. Other services include Wi-Fi, baggage assistance and dedicated support for families, older travellers and people with accessibility requirements. Some additional facilities are offered through paid service packages. Food and shopping options are distributed throughout the building, making the airport map useful for finding what is available near a particular departure gate. Ground transport connects the airport with Istanbul, but its location makes it sensible to allow a separate margin for the journey into the city. Within the terminal, the variety of facilities makes a longer connection manageable, provided travellers account for walking distances and their onward flight.

830. Summer Pavilion – The Ritz-Carlton

     Singapore

     Summer Pavilion is the Chinese restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore in Marina Bay, Singapore, within the hotel at 7 Raffles Avenue. The property’s official dining pages identify it as a Michelin-starred Cantonese venue, making the exact branch and setting clear: it is an on-property restaurant rather than a separate outlet. The restaurant is presented as part of the hotel’s wider dining programme, but its identity is specifically tied to Cantonese cooking and the Millenia Singapore address. The hotel describes Summer Pavilion as offering authentic Cantonese cuisine in an intimate setting. Its room is framed as a modern Chinese garden, which gives the restaurant a distinctive visual character within the hotel’s contemporary luxury environment. This garden-inspired presentation suggests a formal dining room rather than a casual all-day space, with the emphasis on polished service and a carefully composed atmosphere for lunch or dinner in Marina Bay. Official information states that Summer Pavilion serves lunch and dinner daily and offers private dining rooms for special events. The restaurant also contributes to the hotel’s events offering through curated set menus for meetings and social occasions held on the property. These details show that it functions both as a destination restaurant and as a practical venue for smaller hosted gatherings, with the kitchen’s Cantonese repertoire adapted to different dining formats. The overall impression is of a refined, hotel-based restaurant with a clear culinary identity and a controlled, elegant tone. Smart-casual dress is requested, reinforcing the formal but approachable style of service. Within The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, Summer Pavilion stands out for its focus on Cantonese dishes, private dining capability and garden-inspired surroundings, giving guests a distinct restaurant experience anchored in the hotel’s Marina Bay setting.

     South Africa

     TTK Fledgelings gives dining in Cape Town a purpose beyond the meal.

Mentoring takes place within a working restaurant, making the service and kitchen part of a practical learning environment. Guests support that process through an ordinary restaurant visit, while the team gains experience with real diners and a developing menu. The Fully Fledged tasting menu reflects how the project has evolved since it began in 2021, drawing together dishes developed with the mentors. It offers a more extended introduction to the restaurant’s work. TTK Fledgelings suits diners who are interested in the people behind hospitality as well as the food itself. Its combination of training and a public dining room gives the address a distinctive place in Cape Town’s restaurant scene.

832. Miles & More

     Frankfurt am Main, Germany

     Miles & More brings the Lufthansa Group's airlines and a wider collection of travel and retail partners into a shared loyalty programme. Members earn miles through eligible flights and qualifying partner activity, then use them for award travel and other rewards. The programme has a strong European foundation, with airline partnerships extending the possibilities for journeys further afield. Redeemable miles sit alongside a separate status system based on Points, Qualifying Points and, for the highest tier, HON Circle Points. Frequent Traveller, Senator and HON Circle membership offer different levels of recognition. This separation allows members to consider reward travel and status as related but distinct goals, rather than assuming that every way of collecting miles contributes equally to both. Benefits can include priority check-in, lounge access and baggage allowances, depending on status, airline and fare. Hotels, car hire and the Worldshop retail offering provide further ways to interact with the programme. Its value is most apparent when those options align with regular travel patterns. Before redeeming, members can compare the miles required, additional cash charges and available alternatives, keeping the practical purpose of a journey at the centre of the decision.

833. Cessna Citation Longitude

     Wichita, United States

     The Cessna Citation Longitude is designed around a flat-floor cabin that gives passengers room to stand and move between their seats. Developed for business trips and longer private journeys, it combines a connected seating area with sound insulation and adjustable furnishings. The atmosphere of each aircraft is shaped by its chosen upholstery, cabinetry and finish, from pale textiles to darker leather and wood. Seats can be converted into berths, while alternative layouts include an aft couch or an additional side-facing seat. A practical feature is access to the baggage compartment during flight, allowing passengers to retrieve clothing or personal items without waiting until arrival. Cabin controls work through a personal device, covering lighting, temperature, window shades, films and music from the comfort of a seat. The flight deck uses Garmin G5000 avionics and integrated automatic throttles, with additional vision systems available as options. For passengers, the Longitude's appeal rests in the everyday usability of its cabin: a level floor, adaptable seating and control over the immediate surroundings. Reviewing the particular aircraft's layout helps establish how it will accommodate meetings, shared meals or sleep across the planned journey.

837. Providenciales

     Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

     Providenciales is the main visitor gateway to the Turks and Caicos Islands, with a coastline of pale sand, sheltered bays and clear water. Commonly called Provo, it combines an established choice of hotels, villas and restaurants with beaches that offer different moods around the island. Grace Bay provides the familiar setting, but a stay need not be confined to a single stretch of shore. Long Bay, Sapodilla Bay and Taylor Bay offer alternatives for coastal exploration, while Blue Hills brings another view of island life. Snorkelling at sites such as Smith’s Reef, boat excursions and time around the marinas add variety to beach days. The scale and spread of development make a planned approach to getting around useful, particularly for visitors who want to explore beyond the immediate area of their accommodation. Food is part of the experience, from resort dining to the island’s community fish-fry tradition. A wide choice of places to stay allows for a sociable hotel base or a more private villa holiday. Providenciales suits travellers who want a comfortable introduction to the archipelago, with opportunities to combine water activities, local meals and an unhurried appreciation of the coast.

838. Pinehurst No. 2

     Pinehurst, United States

     Pinehurst No. 2 sits at the heart of Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina's Sandhills. Donald Ross's course is characterised by broad fairways, sandy native areas and greens that rise and fall away from their edges. The surrounding pines provide a quieter visual setting than an ocean course, concentrating attention on the shape of the ground and the quality of each approach. The putting surfaces are central to the experience. A shot that appears close can finish below a slope, leaving several possible ways to recover. Choosing between a putt, a running chip and a lofted shot becomes part of the course's interest. Native wiregrass and exposed sand reinforce the landscape, while the championship history lends significance to familiar holes without defining every visitor's round. Arrangements for No. 2 should be made through Pinehurst Resort, with accommodation and golf packages providing a practical starting point. The clubhouse, practice facilities and surrounding village add depth to a stay. This is a course that benefits from an unhurried visit, allowing time to understand the contours and the strategic choices that distinguish its design.

839. One&Only The Palm Beachfront Villas

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     One&Only The Palm's beachfront villas occupy the quieter western crescent of Palm Jumeirah, with the sea and Dubai's skyline forming the wider backdrop. Their scale is residential, combining generous indoor rooms with enclosed gardens and private outdoor areas. The setting suits travellers who want a base by the beach while keeping the city's restaurants and attractions within reach. Two- and three-bedroom configurations provide space for families or friends. The Two-Bedroom Beachfront Villa includes an open-plan living and dining area, a bar and kitchenette, and bedrooms with their own balconies. Outside, a private infinity pool, shaded seating and a gazebo create several places to spend the day. Dressing rooms and substantial bathrooms add to the sense of a self-contained house. Private hosts help organise arrangements, and a chef can be requested for meals in the villa. Guests also have access to the resort's dining and leisure facilities when they want a change from their own terrace. The accommodation's distinguishing feature is its balance of beachfront privacy and a serviced resort setting, with enough shared space to make time together feel easy.

840. Burgermeister

     Berlin, Germany

     Burgermeister is the Berlin burger restaurant at Oberbaumstrasse 8, 10997, Schlesisches Tor. Its official locations page identifies the branch explicitly and places it within a brand that began in 2006 as a burger kiosk beneath the elevated U1 tracks in Berlin-Kreuzberg. That origin remains central to the business’s identity, giving this site a distinctly urban setting and a sense of continuity with the company’s original street-level, transport-side concept. The menu presented on Burgermeister’s own site keeps the offer focused on burgers, fries, milkshakes, cookies, toppings and drinks. For Schlesisches Tor, the brand also lists ordering through Wolt, Lieferando and Uber Eats, alongside collection options on its site. The result is a straightforward menu built around familiar burger-house items rather than a wide restaurant list, with the branch presented as a practical Berlin outlet for quick, everyday meals. Burgermeister’s official story describes the business as concentrating on the basics of a hamburger and on an unusual location, which suits the Schlesisches Tor site’s under-railway Kreuzberg context. A 2025 company post about Potsdamer Platz confirms that Burgermeister remains active in Berlin and continues to expand within the city. It also shows the brand still highlighting in-store preparation, including freshly cut fries, as part of its current offer. Taken together, the Schlesisches Tor branch reads as a compact Berlin burger stop with a strong local character rooted in the company’s original kiosk idea. Its official address, delivery partnerships and tightly drawn menu point to a format centred on burgers, fries and drinks, with ordering designed for convenience as well as on-site visits. The atmosphere implied by the location is informal and urban, shaped by the Kreuzberg setting rather than by a formal dining-room experience.

841. Tukka East End

     Cayman Islands

     Tukka East End is a waterfront restaurant in Gun Bay, East End, Grand Cayman, at 898 Austin Conolly Drive. The venue presents island dining shaped by Australian hospitality, giving it a style that blends Cayman coastal setting with a broader culinary influence. Rather than relying only on its roadside location, it is set up as a destination for meals by the sea, with dedicated pages for reservations and for larger catered gatherings. That combination places it clearly as a full-service restaurant for this part of the island. A key part of the experience is the outdoor terrace, positioned to look across Caribbean waters towards the Wreck of the Ten Sails. The official description also notes frigate birds and tarpon in the surrounding area, details that reinforce the restaurant’s close relationship with its shoreline setting. This is not simply an indoor dining room with a view attached; the open-air aspect and marine outlook appear central to the character of the place, shaping how guests encounter the food, the landscape and the atmosphere together. The menu is broad, though seafood is a strong thread throughout it. Dishes listed include Cayman Seafood Chowder, Fisherman’s Ceviche, Cayman Yellow Fin Tuna Tartar, Caribbean Lobbie Tails and the Tukka Seafood Basket. The kitchen also offers Lion Fish Tacos, Ginger Mahi Mahi Tacos, flatbread pizzas, quesadillas and grilled mains, showing a mix of lighter and more substantial options. Alongside the Caribbean-influenced seafood dishes, Australian touches such as Kangaroo Lolli-Pops and satays bring a distinct additional note to the menu. Tukka East End also caters for organised social dining beyond standard table service. Its official pages include direct table reservations as well as information for parties and banquets, indicating that the restaurant is used for both casual meals and planned group occasions. Taken together, the waterside terrace, varied seafood-led menu and event-friendly services create a restaurant with a clear coastal identity. The overall impression is of a relaxed East End dining venue where scenery and menu style are closely linked.

842. The Peninsula Paris

     Paris, France

     The Peninsula Paris occupies a grand building on Avenue Kléber, a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe. Its restored stone façade and elaborate public interiors connect it to the city's tradition of substantial palace hotels. Inside, contemporary artwork and discreet technology sit alongside decorative ceilings, polished marble and carefully restored architectural detail. Rooms and suites are designed around generous living space, dressing areas and marble bathrooms. Some of the larger suites add terraces or rooftop gardens, giving them a different relationship with the city beyond the windows. Below ground, the spa includes treatment rooms, a 20-metre indoor pool and vitality pools, offering a quiet setting away from the traffic and monuments outside. Dining is a significant part of the stay. L'Oiseau Blanc occupies the rooftop, pairing French cooking with views towards the Eiffel Tower, while other venues offer Cantonese dishes and more informal meals. The hotel's position is useful for the Champs-Élysées and the western neighbourhoods of central Paris. Its distinction comes from the combination of restored Parisian architecture, extensive facilities and a rooftop perspective on the capital.

843. Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer

     London, UK

     Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer in London operates from two confirmed branches: Westfield Stratford City, Floor 1, 206 The Gallery, London E20 1EJ, and Soho, 4 Glasshouse Street, London W1B 5DQ. The operator presents Stratford as its UK debut and Soho as a separate central London restaurant, each with its own contact details and location page. Together they form a two-site American-style burger operation rather than a single venue, serving distinct parts of the city under the same craft-burger identity. At Stratford, the restaurant is described as a 100-seat site with street art and the brand’s striped monochrome floors, giving it a bright, graphic interior. Its offer centres on craft burgers, including wagyu, alongside fried pickles, fried mozzarella, Korean BBQ wings, CrazyShakes and craft beer. The venue combines casual dining with a strong visual identity, making the food and setting feel closely tied to the operator’s New York-inspired format. The Soho branch on Glasshouse Street adds a second London setting with reservations, directions and a pre-theatre menu. Its menu lists craft burgers, wings, snacks, fountain drinks, lemonade, iced tea and bottled water, with burger choices including beef, wagyu, chicken, lamb and falafel, and fries served with burgers. This creates a wider everyday and early-evening offering, while keeping the same indulgent, burger-led style seen at Stratford. Across both branches, Black Tap’s London presence is defined by bold branding, American casual dining and a menu built around burgers, fried snacks and dessert-style shakes. The two sites cater to different city rhythms: Stratford sits within Westfield Stratford City, while Soho serves central London diners from Glasshouse Street. The result is a lively, urban restaurant experience shaped by monochrome décor, street-art flourishes and a menu that mixes savoury staples with rich, playful drinks and desserts.

844. Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort

     Bel Ombre, Mauritius

     Heritage Le Telfair sits beside the sea within the Bel Ombre estate on Mauritius's southern coast. The resort takes its name from Charles Telfair, the doctor and botanist associated with the estate's history. Light-coloured buildings, shaded verandas and gardens establish a character that draws on that heritage, while suites provide generous space for relaxing between the beach and the surrounding grounds. Golf is an important part of the wider Heritage setting, with access arrangements linking a stay to the estate's courses. It allows travellers to combine a resort holiday with rounds in a landscape that moves between tropical planting, hills and coastal views. Golf packages should be checked for the particular course and inclusions, rather than assuming every round is covered by the room reservation. Wellness receives similar attention through the spa, treatment spaces and programmes designed around time to rest and recharge. Restaurants provide a choice of settings, while the beach and estate experiences keep days varied. The hotel works for couples, families and golfing groups who value a sense of place, with Bel Ombre's history and natural surroundings contributing as much as the resort facilities.

845. Al Fanar Restaurant & Cafe – Dubai Festival City

     Dubai, UAE

     Al Fanar Restaurant & Cafe – Dubai Festival City is a restaurant in Dubai, UAE.

846. Etihad Airways

     Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

     Etihad Airways centres its network on Abu Dhabi, connecting the emirate with destinations across the Middle East and further afield. The airline's home at Zayed International Airport gives passengers a modern base for arrivals and transfers, while stopover arrangements make it possible to include time in the city as part of a longer journey. Its cabins range from Economy to Business and First, with products varying by aircraft. Selected Airbus A380 services also offer The Residence, a separate accommodation with distinct living and sleeping areas. Other aircraft have their own layouts, so a particular suite or seat should be matched to the intended flight. This diversity lets passengers choose different balances of personal space, rest and cost. Dining reflects the routes and destinations served, with meal service adapted to the cabin and journey. Airport lounges support eligible passengers, while Etihad Guest links qualifying activity with rewards and membership benefits. The airline's distinctive feature is the relationship between the flight and its Abu Dhabi base, allowing the capital's cultural attractions, coast and hotels to become part of the itinerary. Checking the aircraft and fare conditions helps establish which elements apply to an individual trip.

847. Etrusco

     Corfu, Greece

     Etrusco is a restaurant in Kato Korakiana, Dassia, on Corfu, Greece. The official site presents it as a long-established family business rooted in the island, with the dining room and reservations now centred at the Corfiot address rather than a hotel or wider resort estate. The restaurant states that it operates Tuesday to Sunday in the evening, from 19:30 to 00:00, and that reservations can be made by telephone, WhatsApp or online booking. The cooking is explicitly shaped by the surrounding landscape and by produce grown around the property. The restaurant describes its philosophy as a search for composition and refinement, with dishes informed by nature, local herbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables from its garden. Its menus include an à la carte offering alongside tasting-style options, and the cellar is presented as a curated list of Greek and international wines, with particular attention to Greek vineyards and the Ionian Islands. Etrusco also places emphasis on the pace and formality of the meal. The booking page recommends elegant casual dress, accepts online requests for groups of up to 15 people, and asks guests to advise on allergies or dietary needs in advance. The main dining room welcomes children aged eight and above, while younger families are invited to enquire about private dining possibilities, subject to availability. Taken together, the restaurant appears to offer a polished, destination dining experience that is closely tied to its Corfiot setting. Rather than relying on a generic fine-dining formula, it draws identity from its family history, a garden-led approach to ingredients and a wine programme designed to accompany the menus. The result is a restaurant experience framed as regional and deliberate, with service details that suggest a controlled and intimate evening setting.

848. Fonda Mexican

     Australia

     Fonda Mexican’s Flinders Lane branch in Melbourne is the specific site described by the current official venue pages. Located at 31 Flinders Lane in the CBD, it is presented as a street-level restaurant with a mezzanine dining area that opens towards the laneway. The room is shown with extensive windows and an inner-city setting, placing the branch firmly within central Melbourne’s restaurant strip rather than as a suburban outlet or takeaway counter. The Flinders Lane venue is an eat-in restaurant with table service and a licensed bar offer. Its official functions pages show it can be booked for larger gatherings, either as a whole venue or in part, indicating a format that supports both everyday dining and private use. The listed event information also confirms practical facilities on site, including private bathrooms, two private bars and restricted disability access. Fonda’s own story describes the brand as serving “healthy Mexican” and explains the idea of a fonda as a home that opens its doors to the community. That framing is carried through the menu, which includes burritos, bowls, quesadillas and tacos, alongside margaritas and other cocktails. The result is a contemporary Mexican-led restaurant offer with enough breadth to suit lunch, dinner and drinks. Taken together, the verified details show a Melbourne CBD restaurant with a distinct Mexican identity and a flexible hospitality format. The Flinders Lane branch combines a street-facing mezzanine room with an established dining and functions set-up, while the food and drink list stays centred on familiar Mexican dishes and cocktails. It is a practical inner-city venue built for both casual meals and bookable occasions.

     Moscow, Russia

     Dr. Zhivago is a restaurant in Moscow, Russia.

850. Edinburgh International Conference Centre

     Edinburgh, United Kingdom

     Edinburgh International Conference Centre sits in the city's West End, placing large-scale business events within reach of the historic centre. The building brings a range of auditoria, exhibition spaces and meeting rooms into one compact venue, useful for programmes that combine plenary sessions with workshops, dinners and networking. Its urban location allows delegates to continue their visit in Edinburgh's restaurants and cultural venues after the formal schedule ends. The Pentland Suite provides a tiered auditorium that can be divided into smaller theatres. The Lennox Suite offers another approach, with a moving floor that can transform a flat hall into an auditorium, arena or tiered cabaret arrangement. This flexibility allows organisers to change the relationship between speakers and audiences, or move from presentations to hospitality within the same event. Additional halls, meeting rooms and reception areas support exhibitions and parallel sessions, while event-planning services help coordinate technical and practical requirements. For visitors, nearby hotels and transport links make it possible to manage a multi-day conference without extensive travel across the city. The EICC's distinctive strength is the adaptability of its principal spaces, combined with a location that keeps Edinburgh's wider attractions part of the experience.

853. Resorts World Genting

     Genting Highlands, Malaysia

     Resorts World Genting spreads across the cooler hill country above Kuala Lumpur, combining casino gaming with hotels, shopping, restaurants and theme parks. The journey into the highlands is part of its character, with forested slopes and frequent cloud creating a marked change from the lowland city. Within the resort, covered routes and large indoor spaces connect much of the activity. Accommodation ranges from substantial family hotels to more intimate, elaborate rooms and suites. Crockfords and Genting Grand offer different interpretations of a premium stay, while other properties place visitors close to specific attractions. Dining is similarly broad, covering Malaysian favourites, regional Asian cuisines and international restaurants. SkyAvenue supplies a concentrated mix of shops and eating places alongside the casino facilities. Genting SkyWorlds provides outdoor rides and film-inspired settings, while Skytropolis offers an indoor alternative. Concerts, performances and other scheduled events add to the evening programme. The scale of the development means that choosing the right hotel matters, particularly for travellers balancing family activities with restaurants or gaming. It works well as a self-contained highland break, with enough variety to make a stay more than a single-purpose casino visit.

854. Una

     Sydney, Australia

     Una is a restaurant in Sydney, Australia.

855. Encore Boston Harbor

     Everett, United States

     Encore Boston Harbor occupies a waterfront site in Everett, across the Mystic River from Boston. Its curved bronze tower rises above landscaped grounds and a public harbour walk, creating a setting that feels separate from the streets of the city centre. The approach combines gardens, water views and elaborate interiors characteristic of the Wynn resort group. Rooms and suites have large windows, with different categories looking towards the harbour or surrounding cityscape. Generous bathrooms and living areas make the accommodation an important part of the stay, while a spa and fitness centre provide options for quieter time. The grounds encourage a walk beside the water, and Boston’s museums, neighbourhoods and restaurants remain accessible for a broader city visit. The casino offers slot machines and table games, complemented by a range of dining and bars. Restaurants allow for both a relaxed meal and a more formal evening, with entertainment and events adding to the resort programme. Encore Boston Harbor is particularly suited to visitors who want a casino hotel with substantial accommodation and a waterfront setting, while keeping the attractions of Boston within reach.

856. The Retreat Palm Dubai MGallery

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates

     The Retreat Palm Dubai MGallery is a beachfront hotel on Palm Jumeirah's eastern crescent, with wellness woven into the daily routine of the property. Contemporary rooms and suites use a restrained palette and provide views across the Gulf or Palm, with balconies in many categories. The setting supports both a conventional beach break and a more structured retreat. Rayya Wellness brings together a spa, fitness facilities and programmes that can be tailored around individual interests. Guests may combine treatments with movement sessions or spend time between appointments at the beach and pool. The hotel welcomes families, making it possible for companions to enjoy a broader holiday while another guest follows a dedicated schedule. Dining includes options shaped around different dietary preferences, alongside a wider choice of dishes and relaxed café or poolside settings. The property does not serve alcohol, a practical detail that also helps define its atmosphere. Its distinctive quality is the attempt to place a considered wellness routine within an accessible Dubai resort stay. Visitors can choose how closely to engage with that approach, from booking an occasional spa treatment to arranging a programme with the in-house team.

857. Tortuga Bay Hotel at Puntacana Resort

     Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

     Tortuga Bay offers a comparatively intimate wedding setting within the wider Puntacana Resort on the Dominican Republic’s eastern coast. Its low-rise villas and beachfront gardens create a residential atmosphere, while interiors associated with Oscar de la Renta give the hotel a distinct design identity. The shoreline provides an open backdrop for photographs and gatherings before or after the ceremony. Wedding options include beach and garden settings, with indoor spaces available for receptions. The hotel’s wedding and special events team can discuss the choice of venue, catering and practical arrangements, working with the couple’s planner to bring the different elements together. The smaller scale of the accommodation lends itself to a celebration in which time with guests remains central. Suites and multi-bedroom villas allow different kinds of travelling parties to stay close by. Between events, guests can enjoy the hotel’s dining and beach or use activities and wellness facilities within Puntacana Resort. Golf, racquet sports and visits to the ecological reserve offer alternatives to another afternoon beside the sea, giving a wedding gathering scope to become a varied Dominican holiday.

858. Joo Ok

     New York, USA

     Joo Ok is a restaurant in New York, USA.

859. Round Hill Hotel and Villas

     Montego Bay, Jamaica

     Round Hill’s villas occupy a green hillside on Jamaica’s north coast, west of Montego Bay. Set among lawns, flowering plants and mature trees, the houses look towards the Caribbean while retaining the residential character that has long defined the property. Their individual designs make the choice of villa part of the holiday, with different arrangements of bedrooms and shared spaces. The collection includes houses with two to six bedrooms, open living areas, terraces and shaded places to dine. Most Classic Villas have private swimming pools, while others are close to the main resort pool; larger categories offer their own configurations and facilities. Air-conditioned bedrooms provide a retreat from the heat, while much of daily life takes place outdoors. Dedicated staff prepare breakfast in the villa and help arrange dining, activities and other services. Guests also have access to the resort’s beach, restaurants, spa and sports facilities. For families or friends, this offers the ease of sharing a house with the support of an established hotel, and the freedom to spend some days together and others following separate interests around the resort.

860. Maldives

     Maldivian Atolls, Maldives

     The Maldives offers diving across a scattered chain of Indian Ocean atolls, where lagoons, reef edges and channels create markedly different underwater environments. Rather than revolving around one site, a diving holiday here is shaped by the atoll, season and type of accommodation chosen. Resort islands, inhabited-island guesthouses and liveaboards each provide a different way to approach the surrounding sea. Submerged pinnacles, known as thilas, are a distinctive feature, often combining coral formations, overhangs and schools of reef fish within a compact area. Channels bring another experience, with moving water attracting larger marine life. Manta rays, reef sharks, turtles and whale sharks may form part of a trip, but encounters depend on location, timing and natural conditions rather than a fixed itinerary. A resort base allows diving to alternate with beach time and island facilities, while a liveaboard can cover a wider range of sites. Local dive teams help identify suitable routes and conditions for different levels of experience. The destination's appeal lies in this flexibility, offering both focused underwater journeys and gentler holidays where a few carefully chosen dives reveal another dimension of the atoll landscape.

861. Finnjavel Salonki

     Finland

     Finnjävel Salonki explores Finnish food through the techniques and ingredients that shaped it: curing, fermentation, smoking and produce drawn from the country’s forests, waters and farms. Chef and owner Tommi Tuominen turns those traditions into five- or eight-course menus, giving familiar flavours a precise contemporary form. The surroundings continue the theme. Set in Helsinki’s Taidehalli exhibition building, the restaurant has interiors and tableware designed by Finnish siblings Kivi and Tuuli Sotamaa. Round tables suit couples and small parties, with a separate room available for larger groups. Wine pairings accompany the menus, while the changing dishes trace regional food traditions across Finland.

862. Audley Travel

     Witney, United Kingdom

     Audley Travel creates individual itineraries through destination specialists, with its Witney office providing one of the company’s public meeting points. Its Caribbean programme looks beyond a simple choice of beach resort to consider how each island’s landscape, food and culture can shape a holiday. Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica and the British Virgin Islands are among the destinations offered. Trips are designed around the traveller rather than taken from a fixed departure schedule. A specialist can combine a chosen hotel with local experiences, time for independent exploration and the practical connections between places. Island combinations and journeys linking the Caribbean with another destination allow contrasting settings to form part of the same trip, while a slower itinerary can concentrate on one island. Accommodation is selected to suit the intended experience, from a smaller property to a more extensive resort. Advice also covers when to travel, the balance of activities and how much moving around feels comfortable. The service suits visitors who want the relaxation of a Caribbean holiday with a considered route into the character of the destination beyond the beach.
