HE’S PORTRAYED REVOLUTIONARIES AND LEGENDS, BUT FOREST WHITAKER’S MOST REMARKABLE EVOLUTION MAY JUST BE HIS OWN. BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

JACKET AND SHIRT: John Varvatos
t begins in silence.
Forest Whitaker closes his eyes and disappears inward — right in the middle of our interview. For a few long moments, he’s still. Not out of boredom, distraction, or evasion, but contemplation. I’ve just asked him if there was a moment during the fourth season of his MGM+ series, Godfather of Harlem, that challenged him emotionally or physically. It’s not a simple question, and Whitaker, ever intentional, refuses to give a simple answer.
The pause stretches long enough to feel like a meditation. And it is.
“I meditate every day,” the 63-year-old Oscar winner says when he opens his eyes. “Especially when things get hectic. It helps center me.” That quiet intensity that willingness to pause, reflect, and truly feel — is exactly what Whitaker brings to the gritty, gripping drama in which he plays Ellsworth “Bumpy” Johnson, the real-life Harlem crime boss who returned home from Alcatraz in the 1960s to find the Italian mob had taken over his territory. But Godfather of Harlem is no ordinary crime saga. Over the course of four seasons, it has blended the real and the fictional from Malcolm X and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. to heroin trades and CIA conspiracies — with unmatched intensity and purpose.
The series, which returns April 13, isn’t just about gangsters — it’s about the enduring tension between power and principle. It’s a deep, characterdriven exploration of identity, legacy, and leadership in an era of political upheaval. It’s also a potent reminder that the injustices of the 1960s — racism, surveillance, systemic inequality — never really went away.
But at its core, this is the story of a man trying to build an empire — and save his soul. As the world around Bumpy Johnson threatens to collapse, Whitaker continues to build — within the role, and within himself. In that stillness, he becomes the Godfather of Harlem — not just a crime boss, but a mirror of the times, and a man reaching for the light.
“We’re telling stories about now,” Whitaker says. “About race, power, crime, and survival. What it means to lead. What it means to rebuild. It’s not just a gangster drama — it’s about how you rise when everything’s designed to break you.”
This season, the stakes are both personal and political. The show picks up in the wake of Malcolm X’s assassination, a loss that rocks Bumpy to his core. “He was really affected by Malcolm’s death,” Whitaker explains. “It pushes him to try to become legitimate. He wants to do something different. Something clean.”
So Bumpy opens a casino — a bold step into legal enterprise. But nothing in Bumpy’s world is ever clean. “It’s the cross-ambitions of the different mobsters,” Whitaker says. “The families, the rivalries they pull him back into war. He’s trying to find the light, but like Pacino says… ‘They keep pulling me back in.’”
Season four introduces deeper rivalries and dangerous new players — including a younger, greener version of Frank Lucas, the infamous heroin kingpin later portrayed by Denzel Washington in American Gangster. (All of which is especially poignant thanks to an expertly underscored old-schoolmeets-modern soundtrack curated by producer Swizz Beatz.) “He’s rough, up for any challenge,” Whitaker says. “I try to get him to understand the game. How to walk between families without getting people hurt. How to move in a way that builds power without destroying everything.”
But violence is never far behind. “My men are being tortured. My businesses are being blown up,” Whitaker says. “I’m trying to reestablish myself — not just as a boss, but as someone who protects my community. That’s who Bumpy wants to be.”
That duality — ruthless enforcer, reluctant savior — is what makes the role so demanding. Whitaker throws himself into it completely. He studied Bumpy obsessively, from historical records to firsthand accounts. “I needed to understand how he entered a room, how people looked at him. There are only three photos of him, no footage, nothing to mimic, so I had to feel my way in. I studied the time — the breath of the moment. That tells you how a man walks. How he leads. How he survives.”
He also met with the people who knew Bumpy personally — which came with its own logistical and emotional set of challenges. Meeting anyone truly connected to one of Harlem’s most legendary (and dangerous) figures is no small or unnerving a task… but Whitaker wasn’t afraid. After all, he’s done it before. Unbelievable as it sounds, the stoic and quietly authoritative star has met with not one but two hitmen in his lifetime, the first being research for his 1991 crime thriller Diary of a Hitman. This time around, it was an organic meeting, set up by Margaret Johnson, the woman who inspired the character of the same name (a young girl in the series, played by Demi Singleton). “One of our advisors helped set it up,” he says. “The real-life Margaret — she had connections, and people were willing to talk. They talked about shootouts Bumpy had survived. About how he would get out of his car and walk straight into danger. No hesitation,” he marvels, his voice measured, almost reverent, before continuing, “I went and met his driver — June Bug — and one of the hitmen that used to work for him. They told me how he moved. What happened when he entered a room. What made him laugh. What kind of things made him angry. That helped me start to understand the man.”
At the end of the day, this is all part of his incredibly precise method. “You start with what’s true,” Whitaker says. “Then you build the man from there. How he dresses. How he loves. What he waits for. What sets him off. It’s all connected. And when it works, it’s not acting it’s channeling.” Whitaker used those details in the show — not just as performance beats, but as spiritual cues.
“That story of him walking into fire, letting his guys handle it that told me everything about his fearlessness. It helped me build the scene. The energy.”
It’s that full-body commitment that separates Whitaker’s work — and Godfather of Harlem — from the rest. Bumpy doesn’t feel like a character. He feels lived-in. Known. Real.
And in true Forest Whitaker style, the research became transformation. But this time, it came at a cost.
“Most of the time, I’ve been totally engulfed, swallowed up by the character,” he says. “I’ve tried to separate myself, but it’s usually 99 percent them and one percent me. There’s a shift of who I am in my body.”
He grins, knowing full well he’s speaking as both Forest and Bumpy. The boundary has blurred; he did not stop at scripts and secondhand stories.
Which brings us full circle to his moment of meditation — because there was a moment this season that nearly broke him.
“There’s a scene this season where Bumpy has to confront some medical issues,” Whitaker says. “It was hard to figure out how to play it. I didn’t want to go there emotionally. But eventually, I did. I just… let go. And it worked out.”
On screen, that is. Working past the pain of the trauma viewers will see on screen was much harder. “You don’t want to feel those kinds of things,” he admits. “We think it’s make-believe, but it’s raised into reality. Playing around with your body and your heart is not such a good thing.”
He laughs, only half-joking. “It was hard. I was complaining about it to [series creator] Chris Brancato. He said, ‘Just do it’… so I did it.” The unspoken: But I didn’t like it.
And despite how difficult (or harrowing) it was and continues to be — playing Bumpy is undeniably worth it, and why he still continues to reprise the role.
“He did a lot of bad things, but he also built up his community, pulled it together. He loaned people money, sent them to college, tried to hold Harlem together. That complexity — that contradiction — is what makes him real. And what makes him worth exploring,” Whitaker notes, before sharing his main takeaway from playing Bumpy Johnson. “What I want people to know is that you can rise from nothing and not lose yourself; you actually gain more of yourself as you go up the ladder. You can go to the top and not be destroyed by it; you don’t need to fall.”
He pauses. “The irony is that Bumpy never got killed by a bullet — he died from a heart attack. He died from choosing the wrong salad.”
Whitaker shakes his head and laughs, before more somberly stating, “I think he’s legendary. And sometimes, when people disappear, you forget how they died. Well, I know how he died, and that makes him more legendary. He will continue to exist as a myth.”
In this way, Godfather of Harlem is certainly one of Whitaker’s most personal roles to date — not because the man matches the myth, but because of the clarity he brings to both.
or a man who has lived so many lives on screen — a jazz saxophonist, a samurai, a dictator, a rebel general, a gangster — Forest Whitaker has taken surprisingly few detours off-screen.
“I’ve only taken about 10 vacations in my life,” he admits, almost sheepishly. “Three times to Capri. Once to India. Once to Cancún. That’s pretty much it.” [There were also a handful of car trips from California to his native Texas to see his grandparents, and he does count those.]
It’s a telling confession from someone whose life has been defined by transformation. Raised in South Central Los Angeles after being born in Longview, Texas, Whitaker has had a path to film icon that was never linear. He started out on a football scholarship, before shifting his focus to music and eventually acting, studying at USC’s prestigious School of Theatre and later at the Drama Studio London.
The man who once intended to become an opera singer instead became one of Hollywood’s most revered chameleons. His early breakout in Platoon led to acclaim in The Crying Game and a Best Actor award at Cannes for his haunting depiction of Charlie Parker in Bird. Then came the role that changed everything: his chilling portrayal of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland, which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2006. Whitaker has since appeared in blockbusters like Black Panther and the Star Wars franchise, among others. Between his films and television work, he’s appeared in over a staggering 160 projects. This includes his next, post-Godfather of Harlem project, playing rebel Saw Gerrera in Andor for Disney+ on April 22 — a role eerily similar to Bumpy Johnson in that he “tortures and kills but he’s basically trying to save humanity they’re both being generals, controlling armies, fighting for territory.”
And although it feels chronically exhausting to work this much, Whitaker is quick to clarify that it isn’t that he doesn’t crave rest — it’s that he hasn’t made space for it. His career, his craft, and increasingly, his calling as a humanitarian have consumed him.
But something’s shifted.
“I just did a course on body and mind medicine,” he tells me. “A big focus was meditation, to teach people how to cope with trauma.”
That course was more than a personal interest — it was fieldwork. Whitaker is the founder of the Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative (WPDI), a nonprofit organization that operates in conflict zones around the world.
“It’s about 13 years old now,” he says. “We’re in nine countries. We train youth to deal with conflict in their communities and ultimately become social entrepreneurs. We’ve helped finance around 700 businesses.”
One of WPDI’s core principles is also one of its most radical: self-care.

“From the very beginning, we started with meditation,” he says. “We used it to help center the group. Because if you can’t center yourself, you can’t lead others.”
The course he recently took was through Dr. James Gordon’s Body Mind Medicine, an organization that travels the world teaching meditative and therapeutic techniques in trauma-stricken areas.
“I was trying to decide if I wanted to partner with them,” Whitaker says. “So, I took the course. I wanted to see for myself what they were doing.” That same curiosity the same willingness to go deep has defined much of his work. And it will continue to do so, in front of the camera and behind it — because what Whitaker would really like to do is direct again.
Thus far, his credits include the 1995 Whitney Houston vehicle Waiting to Exhale, 1998’s romance Hope Floats with Sandra Bullock, and the 2004 romantic comedy First Daughter with Katie Holmes and Michael Keaton the latter of which was his most recent effort. And now, finally, over 20 years later, he’s ready to test himself once more. “I just opened myself up to finding a new directing project; I’m ready. I’ll probably choose something this year and start shooting something next year,” he confides.
When I ask what kind of production he’s looking for, his answer is simple: “People overcoming obstacles and evolving. It can be in any world, as long as the characters are evolving.” Then he smiles. “I’m thinking about doing a comedy, though.”
Would he star in it too? “I would direct only!” he insists quickly. “I’ve never acted in any of the movies I’ve directed. I’d be too scared. It’d be too much.” There’s something deeply personal, something unflinchingly honest, in the way Whitaker speaks about himself, and his personal growth. As much as his characters evolve onscreen, he’s evolving offscreen, too one meditation, one moment of joy, one realization at a time.
He’s learned, slowly and deliberately, that stepping back can be just as powerful as stepping forward. That letting go, for a man used to disappearing into roles, can sometimes be the most courageous thing of all.
It’s part of what’s drawing him toward comedy — not just as a genre, but as a state of being. “I want to do something lighter,” he confesses, when we circle back to it. “Something that brings people joy. Maybe something that brings me joy, too.”
This is definitely the hard-earned advice he would give his younger self: to step back, reflect, and appreciate the moment instead of forging ahead, intent on one goal. “[I would tell myself] to work, but to look for joy,” he says. “To look for more opportunities to find joy in life. That every time [I] did something like that, [I] should celebrate it and live in the joy of it. That’s what I would say. Don’t let the work deplete your joy.”
Has it though? The answer is surprising. “I’ve been monk-like, hermitlike in the way I work sometimes — so obsessed and possessed by what I’m doing that the nurturing part of Forest doesn’t happen that often,” he admits. “I’d show myself in the future — if I was looking back — to enjoy, take a look around.” He pauses. “I was just obsessed with finding the core of the character and playing him to my fullest, no matter what the sacrifice. I would change that.”
The joy, when he speaks of it, isn’t theoretical. It’s hard-earned, quietly treasured. Like the kind he finds when he’s watching his actor daughter flourish in Hollywood on her own terms, when he’s helping young people rebuild communities in South Sudan or Uganda, or when someone breathes easier because they learned how to calm their nervous system through the kind of techniques he himself uses daily.
Still, Forest Whitaker doesn’t see himself as a guru or a guide. He’s just a man learning to listen more deeply — to himself, to others, to the moment he’s in.
“Sometimes you spend your whole life looking for truth in other people’s voices,” he says. “But there’s power in listening to your own, too.”
And he’s not done yet —listening or performing. There are new roles to play, new stories to tell, new corners of himself still to explore. “I think I’ve lived a few lives already,” he jokes. “But I’ve got more in me.”
Of this there is absolutely no doubt. Because these days, Forest Whitaker is all about branching out, not just tackling the roles that spark creativity, but the ones that bring him joy. He is being more intentional, doing things because they bring him happiness. And this, in turn, aligns with the legacy he hopes to leave behind. Not one based on the canon of his work, but one based on his humanity.
“[I want it to be known] that I was here. That I tried to connect with people. That I didn’t just stand by when I was needed. That I reached for the light,” he says. And then he smiles. Not a performative smile. Not for show. Just the kind of warm, knowing smile that lingers like a last line of poetry. Though honestly, if he had it his way, he’d just as well lie in said light as much as reach for it. One of the happiest — and rarest — times he can recall is his lone trip to Cancún, dotted with lazy days in the sunshine, surrounded by sand, drinking mango juice. “It’s the greatest luxury I can imagine,” he admits.
It is a powerful image, maybe the most vivid he’s provided yet. Forest Whitaker, alone in the sunlight, no cameras rolling, no character to play. Just Forest. Eyes closed, breathing deep, drinking mango juice, meditating. Finally still, finally centered. At peace not as a performance, but as a choice. There is poetry in that, too.

AYESHA CURRY GETS REAL ABOUT THE MEANING OF BEAUTY FOR THE INAUGURAL COVER OF HAUTE BEAUTY.
BY LAURA SCHREFFLER PHOTOGRAPHY JUAN VELOZ
WHAT IS BEAUTY? IT’S A FAIR — AND SUBJECTIVE — QUESTION TO ASK our inaugural Haute Beauty cover star, Ayesha Curry. There is no one right or simple answer; there is only her answer and her truth. For Curry, that truth is this: beauty is everywhere, in the big and small, in the simple and complicated. It is in the memory of her mother’s hair salon, in her perfectly put-together grandmother, in the words of affirmation from her husband, NBA superstar Stephen Curry, in the love from her four children, and — most of all — in loving herself. Here, we chatted with the 36-year-old multi-hyphenate and founder of Sweet July Skin about what beauty means to her, and how she manages to run an empire so gracefully… and beautifully.
What does beauty mean to you?
I certainly think beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and, for me, it truly depends on the week. Some weeks, that means me at home, in sweatpants, without makeup, and my skin is [behaving]. Or, it could be a date night, where I get all glammed up to go out with my husband, I have a really cute dress on, and I’ve got my winged liner just right — I’m feeling myself because that never happens.
Do you find beauty by living in the moment?
I think that the only way for me to stay present is to keep reminding myself of that. I make it a point to be that way — fake it ‘til I make it. I keep reminding myself until it becomes habit, and I do find myself to be happier in those moments — and happiness is beautiful.
What is your earliest beauty memory?
I grew up in Toronto and spent the weekends in my mom’s hair salon. I would sit and answer the phones for her, and I would watch her clients come in and out; she’d have 10 to 12 on any given day. And oftentimes, they would come in frustrated or frazzled from whatever they were experiencing before, but they would leave an entirely different person. And what I
would notice is this: my mom wasn’t only making them feel beautiful on the outside, but she was also kind of a therapist for them. I would watch them tell her their deepest, darkest secrets, and see her talk them through [their problems] and leave truly transformed, even if for only an evening. That was my earliest memory of how beauty plays a part within the human existence. I do think there’s something to the saying when you look good, you feel good, because I watched it happen on a weekly basis.
Did growing up in your mom’s salon set a certain standard of beauty for yourself?
Yes, and I think that it’s a double-edged sword, because I started to believe that in order to be beautiful, I had to be done up; I felt like I always needed to be polished. [This stemmed from my grandma, who to this day] wakes up, puts on her face and does her hair, even if it’s just to sit on the couch and watch CNN. Even now, if I walk downstairs straight from bed, she’ll say, “You didn’t change your clothes, you didn’t put makeup on.” And I’m like, I don’t wear makeup every day. That, to her, is mind-blowing; it’s a foreign concept. She thinks I’m sick or something. I think having to unravel that as I grew up and realize, hey, it’s fine to be in your sweatpants and not have anything on your face was the reverse kind of [epiphany].
Waking Up To Self-Care: The Morning Shed Trend Explained By Experts.
BY GRACE SARKISIAN
SOCIAL MEDIA IS BUZZING WITH THE “MORNING SHED” TREND, where content creators reveal the products they’ve used overnight to elevate their beauty and wellness routines. This trend has inspired followers to rethink their nighttime self-care habits, from nourishing night creams and hydrating hair masks to unexpected tools like mouth tape for dental health. But is this overnight ritual truly transformative or just another fleeting fad? We asked Haute Beauty experts to share their thoughts on the morning shed, its benefits, and whether it aligns with professional self-care recommendations.
DR. KIRAN MIAN, HUDSON DERMATOLOGY AND LASER SURGERY | SKIN | NEW YORK, NY
The morning shed trend perfectly showcases the low-maintenance things you can do to maintain skin, hair, and even dental health. While all of these practices individually, like wearing an undereye hydrogel mask or mouth tape, can help, like any trend, it may or may not be right for you. Don’t feel like you have to do all of these things to maintain skin health. While the morning shed is a visually appealing social media trend, it is not necessary.
I recommend my patients focus on issues that they want to work on, and we come up with targeted solutions to those issues.
DR. ANNA CHACON | SKIN
| MIAMI, FL
The morning shed trend offers a glimpse into personal care routines, showcasing the skincare, hair, and self-care products people rely on overnight. It resonates by making self-care feel authentic and relatable.
From a dermatologist’s perspective, this trend highlights the benefits of consistent routines for skin and hair health. Featuring products like moisturizers, serums, satin pillowcases, and even dental aids can educate viewers on overnight repair and holistic wellness.
However, not every product works for everyone, so transparency about potential side effects is key. When done thoughtfully, this trend promotes self-care while helping audiences build routines tailored to their needs.
DR. SARAH KHAN, ARA MED SPA | MEDICAL SPA | LOS ANGELES, CA
Skincare junkies take pride in their nighttime routines, but the trend of the morning shed takes it to another level. Popularized on social media, this involves layering skincare products overnight and removing them in the morning. Despite its name, the morning shed refers to shedding products, not skin.
Beyond skincare, it includes sheet masks, heatless curlers, mouth taping, chin straps, and body wraps. The idea is that extended exposure
enhances results, though it’s not suitable for all, as it may cause irritation or dryness. While the trend lacks scientific backing, the dedication to beauty and wellness is undeniable.
HEATHER MERLO, SEI TU BELLA AESTHETICS | MEDICAL SPA | TAMPA, FL
The morning shed trend offers medspas and skincare businesses a chance to connect authentically with audiences. Showcasing post-treatment results or skincare routines — like Morpheus8 recovery or ZO Skin Health — highlights the value of consistent self-care. The key is authenticity: setting realistic expectations while educating clients. For 2025, the focus should be on empowering consumers with clear insights from start to finish. Sharing personal “shed” routines or client success stories builds trust and inspires better skin health.
IANI SILVEIRA, BELLA VIDA AESTHETICS & WELLNESS | MEDICAL SPA | MIAMI,
FL
The morning shed trend, where creators showcase their overnight selfcare routines, feels a bit over-the-top. Skincare and self-care are highly personal: what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. These trends often promote a one-size-fits-all approach, ignoring factors like genetics, environment, and lifestyle.
The issue is that they can easily turn into unsolicited advice, pressuring viewers to adopt routines that may not suit them. While these videos can be informative, they often imply that following a specific regimen is the key to ideal results. Sharing tips is great, but self-care should be about what works for you, not just what’s trending.
PA REANA MYERS, CAREAGA PLASTIC SURGERY | BODY | MIAMI, FL
The morning shed trend highlights the importance of overnight skin care, a topic I’m passionate about as a physician assistant and injector.
Nighttime is when the skin is most receptive to active ingredients, making it the perfect time to use products that repair, hydrate, and rejuvenate. I often recommend incorporating a retinol or prescription-grade tretinoin into your evening routine. These ingredients boost cell turnover and support collagen production, helping to smooth fine lines and improve skin texture. Pair this with a hyaluronic acid serum to lock in hydration, followed by a rich, barrier-repairing moisturizer to seal in all the benefits.
For those dealing with specific concerns like pigmentation, adding a product with tranexamic acid or niacinamide can provide targeted results. Always consult with your provider to ensure your routine is tailored to your skin type and goals. Consistency is key — when you invest in your skin overnight, it shows in the morning.

Trends can vary by individual, so it’s essential to choose treatments based on your skin type and body needs. Always consult a healthcare provider if you experience negative effects. The morning shed is satisfying, revealing fresh skin overnight, and whitening trays can enhance your smile while you sleep. While overnight whitening is safe, mouth taping may not be.
Though influencers claim it helps with allergies, bad breath, or facial structure, there’s no scientific evidence supporting its benefits. It forces nasal breathing but may lower oxygen levels and disrupt sleep. For natural nose breathers, it may seem harmless, but for mouth breathers, it could signal nasal obstructions or a deviated septum. If you wake up gasping for air while using mouth tape, consult a doctor, as it may indicate sleep apnea or another issue. Nasal breathing supports oral health by preventing cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, but if mouth taping affects oxygen intake, identifying the root cause of mouth breathing is crucial. Lifestyle changes like weight loss, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, or using nasal strips may help. While the morning shed keeps us looking fresh, proper breathing is just as important.
AS THE ACCESSORY BEAUTY
Peter Philips, the creative and image director for Dior Makeup, is making a case for integrating beauty as a fashion accessory — quite literally — as the Maison just debuted the new Dior Addict Fashion Cases collection. Each new hue is paired with collectible fashion cases inspired by Dior’s runway codes, like the sophisticated Blue Oblique and playful Pink Cannage, defining a new concept in the industry: beauty couture.

LOUIS VUITTON INTRODUCES A NEW CHAPTER TO THE OBJETS NOMADES AND HOME UNIVERSE.
BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON
For over a century and a half, Louis Vuitton has reigned as a paragon of innovation, its name synonymous with a creative interplay that transcends mere fashion to embrace the boundless world of design. When the now-iconic trunks were unveiled, they ultimately redefined the art of travel and living in the 19th century. Consider the 1885 Bed Trunk, a marvel of practicality and elegance, or the 1930 Stokowski Trunk, covered in the Monogram canvas, each a testament to Louis Vuitton’s pioneering spirit. These objects continue to blur the lines between travel and artistry, function and fantasy.
Today, the legacy lives on through the Louis Vuitton Home Collections, a new chapter launched in 2025 that elevates the Maison’s vision into a comprehensive universe dedicated to the art of living. The new Home Collection exists within five unique yet cohesive categories: the Objets Nomades, the newly minted Signature Collection of furniture and lighting, Decoration (objects and textiles), Tableware, and a category of exceptional gaming. Together, they compose a symphony of design, where every note resonates with the Maison’s inimitable savoir-faire and its relentless pursuit of the extraordinary.
To mark this major moment, Louis Vuitton pays homage to two luminaries of design whose visionary spirits align with its own: Fortunato Depero, the Italian futurist, and Charlotte Perriand, the modernist maestro whose timeless creations continue to inspire. Depero’s exuberant textiles and tableware — bursting with chromatic vitality and fantastical motifs — infuse the collections with a sense of avant-garde whimsy, while Perriand’s newly published textiles, born of her collaboration with both Louis Vuitton and her eponymous foundation, lend a quiet sophistication.
At the heart of this new venture lies the Signature Collection, an ode to comfort and whimsical nature that reimagines furniture and lighting through Louis Vuitton’s lens of creativity. The Signature Collection is a curation of modular sofas, chairs, sideboards, and tables. Here, leather and wood — materials as emblematic to Louis Vuitton as its Monogram — merge with luxurious fabrics, precious onyx, and intricate marquetry, creating a tactile poetry that speaks to both heritage and innovation.
The Signature Collection introduces two new designers to the existing repertoire. Patrick Jouin, the French visionary, infuses his pieces with a philosophy of serene beauty, as seen in an armchair swathed in zippered leather and crowned with a golden padlock — a nod to the travel trunks that birthed the Louis Vuitton legend. Cristián Mohaded, drawing from his Argentinian roots, crafts archetypal forms that pulse with ethnic authenticity, their stitching and trunkinspired details, whispering the codes of the Maison.
Patricia Urquiola, the Milanese star, returns with a curvaceous armchair that envelops the sitter in comfort, while Atelier Biagetti reveals a sleek lamp showcasing their masterful leatherwork. Each creation stands alone as a testament to individuality, yet collectively they weave a unified story of elegance and innovation.
The art of the table, too, finds new expression in this collection, with designs that traverse cultures and eras. Nendo’s coiling collection, crafted in deep black Limoges porcelain, dances with endless variations of the Monogram, flowers, and lozenges, its pristine finish a study in understated opulence. The Splendor and Constellation lines, launched in late 2024, join the Capri collection — evoking the sun-drenched Italian Riviera — as ambassadors of Louis Vuitton’s art of entertaining. These are not mere vessels for dining;they are rituals of luxury, transforming the everyday into the extraordinary. Depero’s influence shines here as well, his futurist tableware a riot of color and form that honors his legacy as a graphic genius.
The Home Collections’ decorative offerings weave a rich tapestry of graphic inventiveness and sensuous allure. Patricia Urquiola’s catch-all trays and vases, inspired by her iconic Palaver chair, shimmer in a palette uniquely her own, while Jaime Hayon’s leather and ceramic creations burst with his signature multicolored exuberance. The textile universe, meanwhile, is a gallery of innovation: wool and cashmere plaids and cushions draw from the archival brilliance of Depero and Perriand, their timeless patterns reborn in contemporary splendor. Cristián Mohaded’s graphic plaids nod to the Damier and Louis Vuitton’s initials, their intense hues evoking Argentina’s clay mountains and glacial expanses, while his rugs and vases complete the range with chromatic poetry.
Last, but certainly not least, in a stroke of playful genius, the Home Collections extend into the realm of exceptional gaming, transforming leisure into an art form. A game table, versatile enough for chess or mahjong, invites tactile engagement, while Estúdio Campana reimagines table football as a surrealist spectacle, its aquatic-inspired whimsy a testament to the duo’s irreverent humor. These are not games to be hidden away;they are objets d’art, destined to reign as the centerpiece of any sophisticated interior.
To step into the world of the Louis Vuitton Home Collections is to embark on an interior voyage, where every object tells a story and every space becomes a sanctuary of imagination. This is a realm where a leather-clad armchair evokes the romance of travel, where a pinball machine hums with the energy of a fashion show, where a vase captures the rugged beauty of a distant landscape. It is a giant dreamcatcher, as Louis Vuitton describes it — a place where the ephemeral and the eternal converge, where the House’s heritage meets the infinite possibilities of tomorrow.
In launching the Home Collections, Louis Vuitton expands its dominion — ultimately redefining the very notion of luxury living.

BLUE EVOLUTION
For Chanel, it’s all about the J12 Bleu at this year’s Watches and Wonders.
BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
IT’S A MILESTONE FOR CHANEL THIS YEAR AT WATCHES AND Wonders in Geneva — 2025 marks the 25th year since the J12 redefined luxury watchmaking. To celebrate this moment, Chanel has unveiled the J12 Bleu, cloaking its iconic timepiece in a striking blue matte ceramic for the first time. This bold evolution, launched after the black J12 debuted in 2000 and the white followed in 2003, showcases the Chanel Manufacture’s unparalleled savoir-faire, transforming ceramic — a material the house has elevated to precious status — into an exclusive deep blue hue that dances between intensity and subtlety, a color Arnaud Chastaingt, director of the Chanel Watchmaking Creation Studio, describes as “a black that is nearly blue.”
After five years of meticulous research, this scratchproof, durable ceramic emerges as a testament to Chanel’s mastery, offering a fresh canvas for nine exceptional creations that fuse timeless elegance with avant-garde innovation.
Chastaingt’s vision of “illuminating black with blue” materializes in a collection that plays with light, revealing multifaceted radiance across models, some adorned with vivid sapphires that amplify
the hue’s allure. With ceramic as a cornerstone of their craft while pushing boundaries in a way that feels both revolutionary and quintessentially Chanel, the new J12 Bleu is a fitting tribute to a quarter-century of horological excellence.
Two standout timepieces within the collection are the J12 Bleu X-Ray, which reimagines transparency with a sea-andsky-inspired blue with its case and bracelet meticulously sculpted from a single synthetic sapphire block over 1600 hours, paired with a white gold bezel and links encrusted with 196 baguette-cut blue sapphires. At its core, the Caliber 3.1 features a transparent sapphire plate and bridges, creating an ethereal effect where gears appear to float, enhanced by a floating bridge adorned with 12 blue sapphire indicators. The second is the J12 Bleu Diamond Tourbillon, equipped with a mesmerizing flying tourbillon at its cage centered by a 65-facet solitaire diamond — Gabrielle Chanel’s favored gem — that amplifies the brilliance of 34 baguette-cut sapphires on the bezel. Encased in blue ceramic, hand-polished for eight hours to perfect its case and bracelet, this self-winding marvel houses the Caliber 5, a 172-part movement developed over three years at the Chanel Manufacture. Its openwork blue dial reveals the hypnotic dance of the diamond-set tourbillon, blending technical mastery with the maison’s design codes.

Continuing its 150th-anniversary celebrations, Audemars Piguet unveils a new perpetual calendar movement.
BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
IN A MOMENTOUS UNVEILING IN LATE FEBRUARY, AUDEMARS Piguet launched the Caliber 7138, a revolutionary self-winding perpetual calendar movement, cementing its 150th-anniversary festivities with a flourish of horological innovation. This trailblazing mechanism debuts an all-in-one crown system — a first in the brand’s storied history — allowing seamless adjustments to all calendar functions without additional tools, redefining ease and elegance in perpetual calendar design.
Audemars Piguet’s perpetual calendar legacy dates to 1875, with milestones like the world’s thinnest self-winding perpetual calendar in 1978 and the ultra-thin RD#2 in 2018. Today, the new caliber 7138 debuts in three models: a 41 mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet in 18-carat white gold and two Royal Oak models in stainless steel and 18-carat sand gold. Each model showcases the brand’s commitment to blending technical complexity with intuitive design. The movement is protected by five patents, reflecting five years of meticulous development.
Traditional perpetual calendars often require additional correctors on the case side, making adjustments cumbersome. However, the new crown system eliminates this need, offering four positions for winding, date and month adjustments, time setting, and day and moon phase corrections.
This innovation ensures the watch can be adjusted anywhere without tools, reducing the risk of damage.
The dial design has also been reimagined for improved legibility and esthetic harmony. The European date format is now displayed from left to right, with the day at nine o’clock, the date at 12, and the month at three o’clock. A 24hour indicator has been added to the day subdial, and the moon phase display at six o’clock features a realistic depiction based on a NASA photograph.
Caliber 7138 builds on the legacy of Audemars Piguet’s previous perpetual calendar movements, incorporating advancements from Caliber 5133. It boasts a 4.1 mm thickness, a 55-hour power reserve, and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The movement’s refined decorations, including Côtes de Genève and satin-brushing, are visible through the sapphire caseback.
In honor of its 150th anniversary, Audemars Piguet has released three limited-edition models, each limited to 150 pieces. These editions feature a vintage “Audemars Piguet” signature inspired by historical documents and engravings on the caseback frame, including the “150” logo and “1” of 150 pieces. Celebrating innovation, Calibre 7138 sets a new standard for perpetual calendar watches, blending technical mastery with user-centric design.
THE LANDDWELLER
Everything you need to know about Rolex’s new game-changing watch.
BY ANDRE FROIS
WHAT SEEMED LIKE A PRANK AT FIRST HAS BEEN REVEALED AS the most accurate silicon movement ever. In July 2023, Rolex quietly trademarked the name “Land-Dweller.” Then came the leaks — blueprints, grainy photos, and wild speculation. But nothing could have prepared us for what happened next.
Just days before Watches and Wonders 2025, Rolex dropped a cryptic teaser, confirming that it would unveil the mysterious timepiece on April 1st An April Fools’ joke? A masterstroke? The successor to the Sea-Dweller and Sky-Dweller was about to be revealed, but no one knew what to believe.
Then, Rolex Testimonee Roger Federer casually appeared in a video interview — sporting an unusual-looking watch. That was all it took to send the watch world into a frenzy. Zooming, enhancing, squinting — everyone was trying to catch a glimpse of the Land-Dweller. And when that day finally arrived, the timepiece was so much more than what we had seen in the leaks — a watershed timepiece that sent shockwaves through the horological universe.
Available in Oystersteel and white gold, Everose gold, or platinum, in case size 36 mm or 40 mm, the Rolex Land-Dweller also has diamond bezel options. To catch you up to speed, here’s why everyone is talking about it.
ROLEX ENTERS THE INTEGRATED BRACELET CONVERSATION
Integrated bracelet watches — where the case flows seamlessly into the bracelet — are in high demand. Take the Tissot PRX, for example, one of the most popular entry-level integrated bracelet-watches today. Priced under $500, its massive sales volume has pushed Tissot’s annual turnover to nearly one billion dollars.
Rolex, known for its bold cases atop sleek bracelets, has now entered this fiercely competitive market, going head-to-head with Audemars Piguet, Bulgari, Czapek, Girard-Perregaux, Vacheron Constantin, and Zenith.
But with the Land-Dweller ’s infallible design, Rolex isn’t here to compete — it’s here to dominate. While some may recall the quirky Rolex King Midas with its integrated bracelet, the Land-Dweller takes inspiration from the Oysterquartz design that debuted on the Datejust in 1975. Now, on its 50th anniversary, this revamped Oysterquartz design emerges slimmer than the Datejust.
One of Rolex’s most celebrated innovations is the Jubilee bracelet, introduced in 1945. Eighty years later, collectors still praise it. Now, the Land-Dweller debuts a new Rolex bracelet — a flat version of the Jubilee with beveled lugs. Built with tungsten parts and a strong spring bar, it maximizes comfort and durability while minimizing wear and tear.
Securing it all is the Rolex Crownclasp — a hidden clasp found on President bracelets. Just pull on the crown emblem to reveal the bracelet’s secret opening mechanism.
PHOTOS
A LASER-CUT HONEYCOMB DIAL & REDESIGNED BEZEL
Beneath the cyclops lens sits a dial that is polarizing Rolex aficionados. The honeycomb pattern is carved by a femtolaser, a precision laser pulsing at 1015 times per second. The Land-Dweller also pays tribute to the Datejust’s iconic fluted bezel but with a twist: its fluting is wider, meaning a 40 mm Land-Dweller’s bezel has fewer flutes than a same-sized Day-Date.
Ambivalent to fluting? Opt for a Land-Dweller with a baguette-paved bezel. Another notable detail: its luminescent markers aren’t coated with lume. Instead, they are solid blocks of luminescent material, thermoset from luminescent powder and embedded into the dial for superior brightness and longevity.
THE MOST EFFICIENT ESCAPEMENT ROLEX HAS EVER BUILT
The Land-Dweller’s Caliber 7135 beats at five Hz, an upgrade from the Caliber 7140’s four Hz. While a higher frequency generally means better accuracy, it also increases wear and potential malfunctions. Rolex has spent years developing innovations to counteract these risks.
In total, the Caliber 7135 boasts 16 patents. Among these, its crown jewel (no pun intended) is the Dynapulse escapement. It’s arguably the most important escapement since George Daniels’s Co-Axial escapement, which has become synonymous with you-know-who.
Made entirely of lightweight, low-friction silicon, the Dynapulse escapement consists of two precision-etched wheels rotating in opposite directions, taking turns to lock and pulse using the same tooth. Unlike previous escapements that had moments of no energy transfer during the locking-unlocking process (such as the groundbreaking Ulysse Nardin Freak), the Dynapulse escapement operates with zero wasted motion, making it significantly more efficient.
Of course, the movement also incorporates the Syloxi hairspring, first unveiled in 2014 after years of research. Now, not only is the hairspring made of silicon, but the lever escapement is, too. This selflubricating, anti-magnetic, temperature-resistant material ensures longterm precision.
The balance staff, carved from shock-resistant ceramic using a femtolaser, is surrounded by a ring that automatically repositions it if it becomes dislodged. Additionally, the new balance staff is made from a proprietary brass alloy containing no ferromagnetic metals, making it impervious to external magnetic interference.
Finally, the fact that Rolex can mass-produce this movement is a remarkable achievement, heralding an era of even greater precision and reliability for the entire industry. Possibly the most accurate Rolex ever, the Land-Dweller boasts 32 patents and pending patents. Sure, your smartwatch tells the exact time too — but the Land-Dweller tells a story.
Driving on Thick Ice
Lamborghinis! On ice! Fantastico!
BY TIM LAPPEN
LET’S START OUT WITH AN ADMISSION: AS A THIRD-GENERATION
Angeleno, I am far more used to driving in the sunny climes of Southern California, where the four seasons tend to be sunny/cool, sunny/warm, sunny/damp, and occasionally cloudy, than at an event titled “Esperienza Neve.” Even with my limited knowledge of Italian, I knew that it must involve “experiencing snow,” so when Lamborghini offered me a chance to become more proficient in ice and snow driving in the Great North, I thought that anything above zero expertise would be an improvement, so I agreed. After quickly checking to be sure that the event name didn’t mean “frozen death,” I readily accepted their invite and headed out to the closest REI in order to supplement my LA gear, since it was clear that Tommy Bahama would freeze off his left huarache there. As it turned out, I needn’t have worried.
Arriving after dark at the Hôtel Sacacomie, north of Quebec, I had no idea what awaited me, but bright and early the next morning, I was in for a real treat. I’d been well-fed and slept great after a long travel day with a three-hour time
change, so I was up and ready early. I was ferried the short distance from the charming hotel to the frozen lake on which the professional piloti carved several tracks of varying shapes and sizes (see photo, top right) on which I could master (or stay alive during) the various challenges that awaited me: circular drifting, slalom drifting, and race-course drifting, to name a few.
The track area was huge, so there was no risk of running off-course and hitting another car (or a tree, or a polar bear). The proficient Lamborghini drivers who accompanied me in each driving experience were terrific, a great blend of professional driving skills, easy camaraderie, and some stand-up (sitdown?) comedy thrown in for good measure.
My steeds for the experience were three of Lamborghini’s top models. Of course, the Urus SE, Lamborghini’s hybridized Super Sport Utility Vehicle; the Huracán Sterrato, Lamborghini’s “off-road” version of the Huracán; and the Revuelto, their latest and greatest hybrid car with a base price of over $600,000. If Lambo were going to offer me a combined one million dollars’ (just counting base prices!) worth of cars to practice drifting on the ice, who was I to argue?
The track day began with a familiarization lap in an Urus. The goal of this driving experience was to be in a controlled slide for as long as possible and so the drivers were able to wow with their absolute confidence and ability to keep the car in a slide for the entire circuit. To the uninitiated, it seems counterintuitive to want to “fishtail” a car. Why not just try to get around the track as quickly as possible without sliding? One answer is that it’s more fun to go sideways in a controlled manner but, somewhat surprisingly, it also was the quickest way around the course.
Fresh off of the demonstration rides, and feeling like this would be easy, I was sent back out on the course (with an instructor in the passenger seat) to apply what I had learned in the five-minute driver training by driving a Sterrato around the oval part of the course. Hilarity ensued. It looked easy while the driver, chatting the whole way, took me sideways through the whole course. It may be “monkey see, monkey do” in the rhyme, but this was “journalist see, journalist try, journalist wipe out” as the order of the day — at least at first. Luckily, I had several laps to practice and, with expert coaching, improved with every go.
It was then time for the Revuelto to show its stuff and for that, I was on more of a road course, with left and right turns, chicanes, and sweepers. The Revuelto is the first of what Lamborghini calls an HPEV (High Powered Electrified Vehicle), boasting a V12 motor and three electric motors for a combined output of 1,015 CV (just a pony over 1,000 HP). (Note: Did I need that much power? Well, it isn’t about needs with these cars, but I loved driving it.) As a guy who’d rather floor than tred with care and caution, I soon learned that “easy does it” is the order of the day.
Last on my play list was the Urus SE on a tighter road course, with tight left-handers and right-handers, a large gradual curve (a sweeper), and a short straightaway. Although it has a higher center of gravity than the earlier two cars I’d driven (due to the high ride height as well as the tallness of the vehicle), it handled wonderfully. It was interesting to put together all of the bits and pieces I’d learned earlier in the day, but it was a fitting way to end the day since drifting the Urus is so satisfying… and forgiving.
What did I learn from the experience? Let’s start with humility. Like many things that look effortless when done by a seasoned professional, it took some doing to be comfortable looking out of the passenger’s-side window at the road ahead, on purpose. Another lesson was that, with some practice and a good seat-of-the-pants gauge, one really can feel the car sliding and know what to do and when to make it a fun experience rather than something that feels totally out of control. I also learned that, for weight-saving purposes, the Sterrato has a reverse gear that’s powered by the electric motor in the front so, if you leave the track pointy-end first into a snowbank, you can leave both pride and traction at the door — the onsite all-wheel drive pickup will come by with a long rope and unceremoniously pull you back to civilization. Did I do that? No, thankfully, though I did bring the Sterrato on an off-road excursion, leave the ice track at one point and, while deciding the best way out of the situation was more power, threw skyward a big rooster tail of snow and ice. That one moment alone was worth the price of admission.
Speaking of “worth it,” this experience definitely was. It’s a great action adventure in a gorgeous surrounding, driving top-of-the-line cars — none of which I really had thought of as having much off-road cred — and realizing that, with some training, the laws of physics seemingly can be amended on the fly.
THE WHITE LOTUS IS SHINING ITS SPOTLIGHT ON THAILAND IN ITS THIRD SEASON, AND WE’RE ALL FOR IT. HERE, WE’VE CREATED A HANDY GUIDE TO THE HIT HBO SERIES’ SHOOTING LOCATIONS AND WHERE WE RECOMMEND YOU STAY AS WELL.
BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
It’s often said that art imitates life, but a less commonly employed phrase (yet just as accurate) is this: art inspires travel. Such is the case with The White Lotus, a satirical TV series that follows the exploits of the guests and workers at various hotels around the globe. The phenomenon first started in Hawaii with the HBO series’ first season, traveled to Sicily for its second, and now, in its third, has landed in Thailand.
This time, Mike White’s masterpiece focuses on three distinctive areas: Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok. The first, a tropical gem on the Gulf of Thailand, offers a perfect combination of beauty and adventure, with its palm-clad coastline, aquamarine waters, lush green hills, bustling markets, and plethora of marine life. Phuket offers much of the same, with the addition of a vibrant nightlife scene. Meanwhile, Bangkok, the capital, provides something entirely different: it’s one of the wildest cities in the world, with a winning combination of energy, vibrancy, and charm that captivates even the most hard-hearted of travelers. There were also scenes filmed at Rin Nai Beach on Koh Phangan “Haad,” the site of Thailand’s infamous Full Moon parties, as well as at Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park in the Gulf of Thailand.
So where should you stay for a White Lotus-inspired getaway? We’ll share where this season’s slew of stars — including Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Parker Posey, and Jason Isaacs — stayed and filmed, as well as some haute recommendations of our own.
FOUR SEASONS RESORT KOH SAMUI
Fans of the series will recognize the beachside resort of Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui as the primary setting of season three — and what a stunning setting it is. The 71-villa property encompasses 42 acres of a former coconut plantation on the island’s north-west tip, with all of that beautiful Thai architecture — including thatched roof rooms and monkey statues galore — that become a signature part of the third season. Guests can relive the show in real life with a series-immersive experience at various venues across the resort including a takeover of its main bar, CoCoRum, which has been transformed into The White Lotus Bar at CoCoRum, which now serves up cabanas, small bites, and beverages inspired by the series (try the Coconut Paradise, which combines the sweet aroma of coconut with the gentle scent of Thai pandan leaves). Always existing highlights include a private yacht, overwater hammocks, and a sensational spa, which truly gives White Lotus vibes with its half-day program inspired by the elements based on the concept of tard-chao-ruan (the constant interaction between the four elements of nature): Din, Nam, Lom, and Fai, for that extra White Lotus-like touch. 219 Moo 5 Surat Thani Angthong, 84140
ROSEWOOD PHUKET
Most of the series’ hotel-set dinner scenes were filmed at the tony Rosewood Phuket’s Ta Khai restaurant. The eatery, which is inspired by traditional Thai fishing villages, follows suit with the property’s focus on sustainability. Repurposed materials create a rustic Thai village ambience with ocean views and the stage for a responsibly sourced Thai menu, via partnerships with local farmers and producers to reduce the resort’s carbon footprint. Other Phuket venues highlighted in the series include Bangla Boxing, Ya Nui Beach, the Phuket Yacht Haven Marina, and Café Del Mar. 88/30-30, 88/28 Muen-Ngern Rd, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150
MANDARIN ORIENTAL, BANGKOK
Bangkok’s Chatuchak Market, Chao Phraya River, and Wat Pho Pier served as shooting locations for the series, though the only featured hotel was that of the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok. The country’s first hotel, originally opened in 1876, celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. Its innovations, including Bangkok’s first spa and bar — the 1950s-style, teak-lined, jazz-focused Bamboo Bar — remain benchmarks in the industry, while its service, delivered by a team with a 4:1 staff-to-guest ratio, and its prime location on the Chao Phraya River, showcases why this haute hotel is still a popular destination for luxury travelers to this day. 48 Oriental Ave, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500
Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok
Rosewood Phuket
ANANTARA LAWANA KOH SAMUI RESORT, ANANTARA BOPHUT KOH SAMUI RESORT, & ANANTARA MAI KHAO PHUKET VILLAS
Although the series was predominantly shot at the Four Seasons, two sister Koh Samui resorts served as the setting of many impactful scenes. Anantara Lawana Koh Samui, which is situated on a peaceful stretch of private beach in Chaweng, was the location of choice for the hotel bar thanks to the particularly spectacular beauty of its Singing Bird Lounge, a treehouse-style bar nestled within the branches of a 120-year-old tree that draws inspiration from the island’s famous bird-singing contests, a tradition that attracts thousands of spectators. A second Anantara property — Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort served as the resort entrance, driveway, security station, and jewelry store featured in the series. This property is a stunner too, with views of the glittering Gulf of Siam, palm-shaded pool, and Bill Bensley-designed spa set amidst lilyponds and palm trees. The crew moved to the larger island of Phuket, using the 183-villa beachfront location of Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas as the setting for both its wellness sanctuary and Belinda’s (Natasha Rothwell) bungalow. The hotel, a tranquil hideaway known for its seclusion and luxurious touches, is nestled along the untouched shores of Mai Khao Beach, and is known for offering the ultimate in privacy. In conjunction with the series, it’s now offering a Lotus Awakening Escape package, a four-night retreat that includes stays in all three five-star properties featured on the show. Here, that includes a half-day guided “Phuket Exploration” tour, including stops at a Muay Thai stadium in Patong, Phuket’s Big Buddha, and attractions in and around Phuket Old Town; the “Lotus Awakening” spa ritual for two, including chakra crystal balancing and sound healing therapy; a “Lotus Season” dinner experience at La Sala; and a cocktail at its BUA Bar. At Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort, offerings include a day “Passage of the Lotus” experience for two, which includes a lotus folding class, guided prayer at the resort’s Spirit House; a visit to the Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem temples, the Chaweng viewpoint experience, and a visit to the Elephant Kingdom shelter; the “Lotus Indulgence” spa experience for two, including a lotus foot ritual, body massage with white lotus oil, and a lotus petal tea with lotus seeds; and the signature Designer Dining “Cocoon” experience on the beach, with a lotus-inspired menu. Last but not least, at Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, guests will receive one themed cocktail at The Singing Bird Lounge and an eight-course set dinner with whimsical, themed elements at Tree Tops Signature Dining. 92 1, Tambon Bo Put, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani 84320 + 99/9 Bophut Bay Samui Island, Surat Thani 84320, 888 3 Mai Khao, Thalang District, Phuket 83110

BANGKOK: AMAN NAI LERT BANGKOK
This brand new (as of this month) urban sanctuary is located in the oasis of Nai Lert Park, an emerald jewel amidst the embassies of Lumphini, a privately owned park. Longtime Aman collaborator Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston architects has designed the hotel to integrate details of the century-old Nai Lert Park Heritage Home with contemporary elements custom-made by local artisans. Symbolic of the genesis of the hotel, a central feature is the majestic, 100-year-old Sompong tree, dictating the building’s root-framing courtyard and its striking elliptical void. The 52-suite hotel is home to an exclusive Aman Club, which features skyline views, two restaurants, an atmospheric Aman Lounge, and a cigar bar; a 16,146 square-foot Aman Spa & Wellness center, which houses both a medical clinic, operated by renowned experts Hertitude Clinic, and an Aman Spa; and multiple dining venues. Its Aman Suite, which encompasses an entire floor, is one of the largest presidential suites in Bangkok at 7,674 square feet; it features three bedrooms with a balcony and terrace, a dining room, private spa, entertainment room, and dedicated study. 1 Soi Somkid, Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330
BANGKOK: TOWER CLUB AT LEBUA
Gourmands in particular should flock to lebua at State Tower, one of the premiere properties in Bangkok for fine dining and drinking. There’s truly something for everyone here. At Mezzaluna, chef Ryuki Kawasaki’s two-Michelin-starred masterpiece, celebrated worldwide for its eight consecutive years of excellence, French cuisine with subtle Japanese influences is on offer in an elegant, half-moon space with panoramic views of Bangkok. Another two-Michelin-starred experience in the intimate Chef’s Table, an interactive contemporary French experience led by chef Vincent Thierry, acts as a complement without vying for dominance. Then, there’s Breeze, a celebration of Chinese cuisine, which has been recognized as one of the world’s top 10 most cuttingedge restaurants, and Mediterranean rooftop restaurant Sirocco, which was recognized as the World’s Best Rooftop Restaurant 2023 and Asia’s Best Rooftop Restaurant 2023 by the World Culinary Awards, among others. In terms of drinking, there is also a plethora of concepts. These include Alfresco 64 - A Whisky Bar, an opulent space inspired by the sleek contours of a luxury yacht that epitomizes the lavish lifestyle associated with billionaires (VVIPs should take note of the Exclusive Heritage Room, a private sanctuary ideal for intimate gatherings and private whisky tastings); Sky Bar, a rooftop drinking den with a captivating color-changing bar; Distil, a sophisticated lounge specializing in innovative cocktails and rare cognacs; lebua No. 3, the world’s tallest gin, caviar, and vodka bar; Pink Bar, a glamorous champagne bar that exudes feminine allure, and which serves up some of the rarest bubblies in the world, including the elusive Comptes de Dampierre; and finally, Flûte, A Bollinger Bar, the world’s highest alfresco champagne bar. When one factors in the property’s new room renovation, enhanced with upgraded bedding, ergonomic workspaces, and customized lighting, it’s definitely one to beat. 1055, 42 Si Lom Rd, Si Lom, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500

KRABI: BANYAN TREE KRABI
Those who have fallen in love with Phuket and Koh Samui need to put Krabi on their radar, too. This resort town near the Andaman coast is famous for its scenic views, coral reef vistas, hot springs, wildlife sanctuary, sea caves, and limestone cliffs. Stay at the Banyan Tree Krabi, located on tranquil Tubkaek Beach, just 15 miles outside of the town center. This is a relatively small property with just 72 pool suites and villas on site, each of which faces west to the Andaman Sea and features both a private pool and jet pool. It’s definitely an idyllic getaway, especially so because of its offerings: a spa with an extensive range of Asian-inspired body and beauty treatments including The Rainforest; two dining outlets and a bar; a beach club; and its own traditional longtail boat, The White Pearl, where guests can enjoy private excursions to scenic destinations in Phang Nga Bay. 279 Tambon Nongtalay Amphoe Muang Krabi 81180
CHIANG RAI: FOUR SEASONS TENTED CAMP GOLDEN
TRIANGLE
There’s glamping and then there’s glamping. The Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle takes this concept to a whole new level via its luxurious, fully airconditioned 16-tent and one Explorer’s Lodge property in the Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos meet. Bill Bensley has made this breathtaking spot unique with his signature vintage-meetsmodern esthetic. In a space where a 19th century adventure wouldn’t feel out of place, experiences are key. Those include elephant bathing, learning the art of Thai massage; fishing with locals; or enjoying a traditional Kanthok dinner. There’s also an on-site bar, restaurant, and spa to round out all offerings. 499 MOO1, T. Vieng, Vieng, Tambon Wiang, Chiang Saen District, Chiang Rai 57150
CHIANG MAI: ANANTARA CHIANG MAI
In the heart of ancient-meets-cosmopolitan Chiang Mai — Thailand’s second largest city and home to the famous Loy Krathong lantern festival — resides Anantara Chiang Mai. This peaceful oasis consists of 84 sleekly designed rooms and suites housed in an elegant building of wood and glass, which feature private balconies and terraces overlooking manicured grounds or the river. The best of Thailand is offered here, be it via tai chi, Muay Thai boxing classes, or a river dinner cruise with chef Boy Piyachart Puttawong of the Michelin-starred Saneh Jaan. Don’t miss The Service at 1921 House, a steakhouse that once served as the British consulate, and Brit Bar at 1921, the private members’ club of Her Majesty’s secret service. 123, 1 Charoen Prathet Rd, Tambon Chang Khlan, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50100
KOH KOOD ISLAND: SONEVA KIRI
Those who are seeking something relatively untapped and unexplored should book a stay at the Soneva Kiri, located on the unspoiled island of Koh Kood, Thailand’s fourth largest yet least populated island. Here you’ll find some of the best beaches in Thailand as well as the Soneva brand’s quintessential combination of luxury and eco-friendly design. Upon arrival via the resort’s private Cessna Grand Caravan, a barefoot “guardian” will cater to your every need. The hotel makes relaxation a privilege, offering some of the most indulgent hotel suites in the world, a Six Senses spa, a state-of-the-art observatory, an open-air cinema located on a reservoir lagoon, and unique experiences such as Treepod Dining — dinner that’s served in a bamboo pod raised up into the tropical foliage of the rainforest. 110, Tambon Ko Kut, Ko Kut District, Trat 23000
