Tatler Travel
Think about the last time you were somewhere truly dark—where you could step outside, let your eyes adjust and see the night sky without urban glow. Beyond the spectacle of stargazing lies a simpler health reset: trading constant artificial light for the true darkness our circadian systems need.

Opening in March 2027, @karvbali introduces The Luxury Collection to Bali’s southern coastline. Derived from the act of carving—the process of revealing what lies within—it draws inspiration from the Balinese philosophy of Nawa Sanga. The property honours the sacred harmony between mountain and sea, spirit and earth, seamlessly uniting architecture and local heritage. Designed for deep connection and quiet discovery, the resort will feature 64 ocean-facing sanctuaries—comprising 39 suites and 25 private villas—alongside four distinctive dining venues and the holistic Skp Spa & Wellness.
The final chapter of @stregissg’s transformation has arrived in the form of its newly completed 335-square-metre Presidential Suite. An expansive expression of the hotel’s renewed aesthetic, the suite brings together contemporary luxury, considered details, and a sense of place inspired by the Singapore Botanic Gardens just steps away. The redesign takes a more thoughtful approach to indulgence, weaving technology and sustainability into the experience without compromising on comfort. From motion-sensor blinds and air-conditioning to an in-room tap dispensing hot and ambient drinking water, the suite reflects a quieter, more considered idea of modern luxury. Eco-composite flooring made with up to 50 per cent recycled material and refillable residential-sized bathroom amenities further extend the hotel’s commitment to more conscious hospitality. As the final piece of the hotel’s extensive transformation, the Presidential Suite offers a glimpse into a new chapter for one of Singapore’s longstanding luxury addresses.
A scenic four-and-a-half-hour drive from @clubmedsouthafrica brings you to Vikela Safari Lodge, set within an 18,000-hectare private game reserve in northern KwaZulu-Natal. Days here unfold on guided 4x4 game drives, with expert rangers leading the search for the Big Five—lion, elephant, African buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros—alongside the reserve’s wider wildlife. The experience is designed with families in mind, welcoming children from four years old, with activities and game drives adapted for different ages. For those staying overnight, the lodge offers a comfortable base from which to experience the bush after dark. Its 75 premium tents are divided between family and adults-only areas, with Family Safari tents featuring private bathrooms, outdoor showers and private terraces, as well as access to dedicated children’s facilities.
The invitations are out, the city’s abuzz and the first Tatler Best Africa awards are just a day away. Tomorrow we reveal the Tatler Best Africa 100 and the Best in Class honourees, the properties that represent the pinnacle of hospitality on the continent. The Tatler Best Africa awards are presented in partnership with @magicalkenya.
At @clubmedsouthafrica, which opened this year, the days are designed to move with the landscape. By the coast, that means getting into the water at Club Med’s first-ever surf school, where experienced coaches help beginners find their balance and more confident surfers sharpen their technique. There is also time for sports, dining and entertainment, before the experience shifts inland for a safari among South Africa’s wildlife and expansive landscapes. The beach resort itself takes its cues from its surroundings and Zulu heritage, with natural materials, African woods and handcrafted details balanced by turquoise fabrics and graphic motifs. For those seeking a quieter retreat, the Ilanga Exclusive Collection places 66 suites within a more private enclave, with dedicated amenities and personalised services.
