Hurrah! We’ve made it through another year, and the future of travel is looking brighter than ever. As the world bounces back from three years of travel restrictions, it’s finally time to pack your bags and tackle that bucket list.
Not sure where to start? Let our top stories of 2022 be your guide… we’ll see you on the road!
LUXE’s Top Stories
This year was full of travel inspiration, and one of our top stories was all about getting out of your travel comfort zone. Besides that, Europe proved to be as popular as ever with our Barcelona cocktail bar round-up and Venice for foodies listicle – while bookworms loved our curated list of unique bookstores around the world.
Over in Asia, check out the latest adrenaline-pumping activities in Singapore, where to shop in Seoul and Hong Kong’s newest wellness spots to book in the new year.
New Faces & Places
From travel entrepreneurs to local insiders and guides, we got up close and personal with new faces in 2022, including Athan Didaskalou, the founder of luggage brand July, Ibiza resident Margaret von Korff, and Thao Phuong of TextileSeekers, who runs textile and tribal tours in Vietnam.
For F&B, we followed in the tasty food-steps of Chef Dayal Kesha of table65, Singapore and Chef Agustin Balbi of Ando, Hong Kong, and dove deeper into Istanbul’s hipster coffee scene with İbrahim Erşad Polat of No48 Coffee.
Luxury Hotel Inspo
Thanks to our tie-up with Small Luxury Hotels of the World, we also shared plenty of stunning hotel and travel inspo in 2022, as the world gradually opened up again. From eco-luxury resorts and forest bathing hotels to those that are steps away from the world’s most iconic landmarks, you can’t go wrong when you choose an SLH hotel.
