Hotel openings

New hotels are continuously emerging around the globe, catering to diverse traveller preferences. Here are some openings that I'm excited about.

The Eve Hotel Sydney Designed as a dream collaboration between SJB’s Adam Haddow, 360 Degrees’ Daniel Baffsky and Interior Architect George Levissianis, the hotel is at once a transporting oasis and a delightfully Sydney-centric celebration of place. Soft, organic curves and natural materials set the scene – with balconies offering views across the rooftops of Redfern and Surry Hills, and carefully restored plants bringing the natural environment into the city’s urban heartland. Art from Sydney artist Louise Olsen features throughout, with one spectacular piece taking over the entire ceiling of the hotel’s lobby bar, Bar Julius.

Aman Tokyo, Japan
With its opening slated for late 2025, Aman Tokyo will introduce a unique blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern luxury. Located in a sleek skyscraper, this hotel will feature luxurious accommodations, an extensive wellness program, and unparalleled views of the city from its serene gardens and indoor pool.

Mandarin Oriental, Lake Como, Italy
Set to debut in mid-2025, the Mandarin Oriental at Lake Como will blend luxurious modern amenities with the historic charm of the region. The hotel will feature lavish suites, an exquisite spa, and gastronomic experiences that highlight local Italian cuisine amidst breathtaking views of the lake and mountains.

The Edition Doha, Qatar
Scheduled to open in early 2025, The Edition Doha will blend contemporary design with Qatari culture. This waterfront property will feature stunning views of the Arabian Gulf, multiple dining options including a world-class restaurant, and a lavish spa, making it a prime destination for luxury traveller’s.

AndBeyond AndBeyond is expanding in East Africa with a new lodge in Kenya opening in July 2026. The company has secured a long-term lease for an Exclusive Tourism Concession over Suyian Conservancy, partnering with Space for Giants. This agreement provides access to over 44,000 acres of wilderness in north-western Laikipia. AndBeyond Suyian Lodge will offer 14 suites, including a family suite and a triple suite, each with a private pool and both indoor and outdoor showers. Guests can explore the conservancy through various safari options and engage in local tribe interactions and conservation activities.

The Corinthia Maldives Corinthia Maldives offers an exquisite blend of luxury and natural beauty, set against the stunning backdrop of pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters.

Picturesque Vis Island

Of all the inhabited Croatian islands, Vis is the furthest from the coast and the most enigmatic. It spent much of its recent history serving as a Yugoslav military base, cut off from foreign visitors from the 1950s right up until 1989. This isolation preserved the island from development and drove much of the population to move elsewhere in search of work, leaving it underpopulated for many years.

No nightlife, no package tourists, no big hotels, no fuss, no hubbub; Vis Island so epitomized Mediterranean life that it was chosen as the filming location for Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! For several months in early autumn 2017 Hollywood descended upon the island, hiring locals as extras and using the old stone towns of Vis and Komiza as a backdrop for their musical.

The most stunning beach on the island and perhaps in all of Croatia is Stiniva beach.

Thinking of Mykonos for a holiday

Mykonos Town - All World Journeys

Out of the Cyclades, the islands that encircle the sacred island of Delos, Mykonos is perhaps the most famous, renowned for its rolling hills, white beaches and the high-rolling international crowd that vacations there. While visitors who travel to Mykonos are sure to admire the island’s cubist Cycladic architecture – white country chapels dot its hills, creating a scenic vista – Mykonos also provides a good jumping off point for archaeological day trips to nearby islands, most notably Delos.

Things to see
 • Lounging on Agios Sostis Beach
 • Wandering through “Little Venice,” Mykonos Town’s historic 18th-century district
 • Taking pictures of the island’s famous windmills
 • Partaking in some of the island’s famous nightlife

We recommend The Grace Mykonos Hotel
