Between Highland Cows and Fairies: Our Journey Through Scotland

Nele's new favorite destination

Just a short flight away, yet a completely different world: Scotland is one of those destinations that are far too often overlooked – yet here, rugged highlands, misty lochs, and lonely coastal paths await, capable of rivaling any long-distance trip. Our colleague Nele embarked on a journey herself and shares why this rugged, historically rich country offers so much more than most people realize. Join her on a journey full of whisky, myths, and breathtaking expanses – right nearby yet like another continent.

Saudi Arabia's coast on the rise

Turquoise waters, untouched islands, and desert reaching to the beach: The Red Sea in Saudi Arabia is developing at an impressive pace. In Amaala, Four Seasons, Six Senses, Rosewood, and Nammos have welcomed their first guests since this summer, and more resorts are to follow in the coming months.

We know the region and are happy to advise you on which resort suits you best.
