caLa Few spa experiences rival that at Laucala, where traditional Fijian therapies, organic amenities and serene seings go hand in hand. Four treatment villas – each with an outdoor tub, relaxation room and changing room – and two wet rooms with Vichy showers and steam facilities sit amid water features and tall palm trees, complemented by a beauty salon, pedicure and manicure rooms and the Spa Garden.

It’s here that herbs, spices, flowers and fruits are picked to create Laucala’s four signature scents: Molikaro (native citrus), Wainimate (medicinal herbs), Senikau (tropical blooms) and Qele (indigenous roots, woods and spices). Each scent is incorporated into the spa’s organic, amenities, including lotions and the massage oils used in spa rituals.

Signature experiences range from Fijian hot-andcold stone therapy to body scrubs using volcanic soil from the island and mineral crystal therapy.

Guests are encouraged to become involved in the spa experience through the Spa Garden, where an interactive display informs about Fiji’s tropical bounty. Guests can pick their own spices, herbs flowers and fruits – vanilla, lemongrass, cinnamon, nutmeg, coffee, ylang ylang, pepper, ginger – and create a signature essential oil, soap or lotion in the Spa Kitchen, where a coconut press produces oil in small batches. www.laucala.com/wellness

LaLique Révélation Bacchantes Vase

>>

Limited edition (99 pieces), clear crystal • €60,00.00 Produced by the lost wax technique, the Revelation Bacchantes Vase appears as if a Bacchantes Vase is suspended in a cube of crystal. A very difficult piece to produce, the Revelation Bacchantes Vase requires several weeks to be completed by the talented and devoted artisans of Lalique. In 1927, René Lalique’s boundless imagination and creative genius led to the creation of the Bacchantes Vase. Young priestesses of Bacchus dance around the vase showing their beauty and curves. A work of unparallelled beauty, splendor and sensuality, this vase has become a lasting symbol of Lalique’s celebrated style. The use of satin and clear finishes on the vase bring life and movement to this exceptional piece of art.

Tianlong Vase

Limited edition (88 pieces), amber crystal • €39,000.00 Lalique celebrates the Tianlong Dragon, symbol of strength, wealth and life through the Tianlong Black Vase. The vase is produced as a limited edition of 88 pieces to honor the number 8, believed to bring good luck in the Asian culture.

Entirely fashioned by hand, this vase requires great artistic and technical mastery. To create this outstanding work of art, the Lalique artisans use their exclusive process of double-injection. The center of the vase is open and clear as the majestic black dragon surrounds it. The scales adorning the dragon's body and the open spaces inside its shape help define the body of the dragon bringing it magically to life.

Dimensions: H 10.82" x D 11.81" (H 27,5 cm x D 30 cm) Weight: 33.07 lbs (15 kg) Limited edition of 88 pieces, piece delivered with a certificate of authenticity mentioning its number Handcraed in France

Travel Southern India on board of a luxury train

Scenic Eclipse mega-yacht will have its own helicopters and submarine -- and luxury too If you've ever wondered how the other half sail, here's a way to travel like the fat cats without having to buy a yacht. Scenic Cruises is building an ultra-luxury, all-suite yacht called the Eclipse with its own submarine and helicopter on board. The ship will sail to destinations from Antarctica to the Mediterranean -- in style. "The inspiration came from the mega-yachts owned by the billionaires," Scenic founder and Chairman Glen Moroney says.

"How can others enjoy a level of luxury and fun and discovery like billionaires enjoy? "We took the luxury of those ships -- the helicopters, submarine, etc. -- to make it accessible to our guests. And then we took it up another notch with five restaurants, a 5,000-square-foot spa and other items not even seen on those mega-yachts.” www.scenic.co.uk/eclipse

Luxury hotels in Paris: How the city's grand hotels are evolving for the future The French concept of la vie de luxe has titillated and benefied us all, giving us the grand hotel and the notion of the restaurant-as-entertainment. It then gave us, in Michelin, a categorisation of the degree of pleasure to be had in each.

But the French conception of luxury is being re-evaluated, not least by the French themselves. Coco Chanel once said that luxury is not the opposite of poverty, it is the opposite of vulgarity. In food, there is something of a movement towards simplicity and away from the synchronised rising cloches and sommelier ballets of fine restaurant tradition. www.fourseasons.com/paris/

Anti-ageing wearables: The future skincare devices to keep you looking young

Hyper-personalised and fully interactive, it's no wonder that the beauty industry is excited about wearable tech that monitors and improves our skin. Research by Mintel has identified bespoke, ultra-customised beauty as one of the hoest trends in beauty between now and 2020. These days, we want skincare that is precisely tailored to our needs and beauty companies are falling over themselves to launch ever more individualised products.

And there is the potential for an awful lot of money to be made. While the global wearable tech market is set to treble in the next five years with a projected turnover of $34 billion by 2020, the antiageing market – predicted to enjoy a super-healthy annual growth rate of 7.8% – is expected to be worth a staggering $191.7 billion by the end of the decade.

The point of all of this is to determine your natural element. Traditional Vietnamese medicine, called Dong Y, is derived from Chinese medicine and focuses on restoring balance between yin and yang and finding harmony among the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

NTAL DANANG The flow of energy in our bodies is thought to follow the same path as nature: wood kindles fire, fire forms ash (earth), earth solidifies to form metal, metal (minerals) enriches water, water nourishes wood (trees).

You’ll find this paern of five frequently repeated throughout Vietnam. Marble Mountains, a popular araction around 40 minutes from the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, are beer known to the Vietnamese as ngu Hanh Son, or Five Elements Mountains, with each one named for a natural element.

You’ll also encounter the Five Elements in Vietnamese cuisine, where each taste (sour, bier, sweet, spicy and salty) corresponds to an element. At a meal, there is an effort to balance out these five tastes, as well as to appeal to the five senses and nourish five internal organs of the body. The power of five is seen in many other aspects of Vietnamese culture, such as a visual balance of colours.
