The creme de la creme of boatmakers are ambitiously growing their brands at both ends, building mightier superyachts alongside sportier and more nimble crafts. In today’s summer special, we turn our focus to some of the greatest boating brands out there – where they’re heading as companies – and the best places to actually steer their boats.…
More than thirty years ago, the Harmon family opened Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley, a restaurant (eventually with a few gorgeous rooms to accompany it) inspired by Provence but infused with a wholesome Northern California feeling.…
In our world, nothing says summer like a classic road trip, bonding passengers and creating lasting memories. In fact, some of our best memories come from driving cars across Europe and the US together with friends and family.…
The capital of Scandinavia might have lagged behind some of our favourite cities when it comes to hospitality, but in today’s post we discover three locations that have raised the bar for hotels in Stockholm – giving “Stockholm Syndrome” a whole new meaning.…
Vintage sports cars and the country of Italy are two of our favourite things. And when you combine the two, you end up with something truly special. In fact, we find this particular mix so great that we’ve already wrote about it once before right here on The Journal, in the form of the famous Mille Miglia – one of the world’s most classic automobile races.…
Regardless of whether you’re into architecture or not, you sometimes stumble across stories that blow your mind. The story of Ricardo Bofill and his cement factory is most definitely one of those stories. With more than 30 silos, massive buildings and towering ceilings, the space is extremely raw and quite obviously presented the Spanish architect with a design challenge or two.…
Today on The Journal we’re sitting down for a little chat with Andreas Weinås, a fellow Swede and personal friend of ours – as well as one of today’s most influential people within men’s fashion and style.
Since a few years back, Andreas is the Executive Editor of one of Sweden’s biggest men’s fashion sites, Manolo.se, as well the Editor for fashion stalwart King Magazine.…
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has been quite the busy man as of late. Not only has he been making a fair share of noise around the art world but he’s now also back with yet another stunning exhibit. His latest piece of work is (perhaps a litte surprisingly) located at the Château La Coste’s gallery in the South of France, close to Aix-en-Provence.…
As I woke up in Austin and took my first jet lag infused walk down South Congress, I have to say it felt pretty much like I was walking down the streets of San Francisco. Sure, I knew that the city motto is to “keep Austin weird”, but this was my first visit to the Lone Star State of Texas and I was (quite naively) imagining more cowboys brandishing revolvers and spurs and less Willie Nelson murals.…
Regardless if you’re into tennis or not, it’s difficult to imagine a more spectacular setting for a country club than The Monte-Carlo Country Club. Set high on the Monaco coastline, this members-only club is without doubt one of the most beautiful and unique settings in the world, featuring world-class courts surrounded by majestic villas, pine trees and azure blue sea.…
More often than not “car guys” also happen to be “watch guys”. As you might have noticed by reading The Journal, we quite obviously fall into both camps – and luckily, we’re not alone. This week we’re thrilled to be sitting down with Ted Gushue, probably most known for his love of cars, but who also happens to have a pretty impressive watch collection.…
Today on The Journal, we spend some quality time in St Anton and Lech, exploring the luxurious chalets and hotels that line this new route. Enjoyed together, as they can now be for the very first time, St Anton, St Christoph, Stuben, Zürs and Lech manages to cover the full range of ski-joy expectation, both on the slopes and off them.…
I often find myself torn between old and new. On the one hand, few things turn me on as much as reading about old things with a remarkable history. And at the very same time, I cannot describe how much I enjoy ripping the plastic off the latest Apple iPhone.…
In an art theft fit for a Sherlock Holmes story, five works of art—valued at €100 million and often described as priceless—were stolen from Paris Musée d’Art Moderne in 2010.
The thief, later nicknamed “the spider-man”, eluded security systems and dozing security guards.…
As you’ll know by now, one of our absolute favourite things in life is food. We’ve covered the best burgers in the world, the history of the Hirata pork bun, and where to find the best restaurants in great cities like Seoul, Stockholm and London.…
For some reason, South Africa’s biggest metropolis is often seen as a sort of changing post, a place to arrive only to move on from as soon as possible. Sure, it doesn’t have the beaches, the winelands, or the Cape’s famous mountain – but it makes up for it elsewhere.…
Naturally, no visit to South Africa is complete without circumnavigating the winelands. About an hour’s drive from Cape Town – and less than half an hour from Stellenbosch, South Africa’s oldest settlement and centre of its wine production – lies the small town of Franschhoek, which has the unlikely distinction of being one of the world’s gastronomic capitals.…
When most people go on vacation to South Africa, they go on safari. And when people go on a luxury safari to South Africa, most of them visit the area around Kruger National Park.
There many private reserves abutting Kruger, and some of these have multiple luxury safari camps within them.…
It’s difficult to overstate the case for visiting Cape Town, and this year the world seems to have realised. Our social media feeds have been filled with the in-your-face beauty of its nature, from craggy mountain ranges that drop precipitously into a glittering sea to the pristine white beaches lapped by the Atlantic.…
