Gourmet Traveller

Between the Atlantic and the Pyrenees, Biarritz has always belonged to those who understand the poetry of escape. Emperors and couturiers, artists and actors, aristocrats and surfers have all surrendered to its charms. Yet beneath the glamour, its greatest seduction remains unchanged: the ocean, the light and an intoxicating sense of freedom.

Wellness is entering a more refined age. From longevity science and restorative travel to personalised retreats, intelligent nutrition and the precious luxury of disconnection, a new philosophy of wellbeing is emerging. Today, true indulgence is no longer simply about having more, but about having the health, time and vitality to live beautifully for longer.

“Seasonality, craftsmanship and a deep respect for tradition define the experiences at these restaurants, where each meal reflects a distinct philosophy and a shared pursuit of excellence.” By Anton D. Javier 

Travel is increasingly measured not only by the places we see, but by the flavours, rituals, and memories we encounter along the way. At Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh, the journey unfolds around the table, where the abundance of Vietnam’s south-central coast meets a distinctly European spirit of culinary craftsmanship.

There are many ways to understand Vietnam, but few are as intimate as sitting down to eat. At Banyan Tree Lang Co and Angsana Lang Co, the table becomes a portrait of Central Vietnam, shaped by rice and sea, seasonal rituals, inherited memories and the generosity of sharing food together.

Between the tranquil An Mỹ rice fields, Hoi An’s storied Old Town and the shores of Cửa Đại, Anmira Hoi An Village of Arts & Culture offers a gentler encounter with the destination, weaving architecture, gastronomy, craftsmanship and nature into an intimate celebration of Vietnamese culture and the art of slow living.
