Turning 30 there felt like living inside a fairytale, luxurious, timeless, and so special. The Ritz glittered in gold, the tree sparkled, and I swear the city smelled like cinnamon and joy. London at Christmas? Pure magic.

After getting engaged in the lavender fields of Provence, we stayed at Airelles Gordes, a fairytale hotel perched above the valley. Candlelit dinners, breathtaking views, and tender details made this stay one of the most magical moments of our lives.

A sunny girls’ escape to Lisbon in April: we stayed at Brown’s Avenue Hotel, wandered the city’s elegant boulevards, wrapped ourselves in rooftop pool views (even if it was still too crisp to swim) and celebrated the joy of being somewhere new, together.

I celebrated my 28th birthday at Alex Lake Zürich with my mum. A peaceful winter escape right by the water. Elegant design, serene lake views, and beautiful food made this stay feel like the perfect blend of calm and celebration.

In the heart of Venice, Aman Venice brings quiet luxury to the Grand Canal. Housed in Palazzo Papadopoli, the hotel merges art, history, and Aman’s signature serenity. A true masterpiece of Venetian elegance.

Our stay at OKU Kos (formerly Casa Cook Kos) was an unexpected blessing. A serene, design-forward escape with private pools, farm-fresh food, and laid-back island spirit. The kind of place where time slows down and inspiration begins.
