Travel Editions for the creative traveller.
This issue of Travel Editions is a celebration of places shaped by creativity, design and a strong sense of cultural rhythm. Inside this issue we move through cities that inspire from dawn until long after dark, starting with Creative Dubai and its ever-evolving arts scene. We check into The Siam Bangkok where heritage, architecture and calm collide, then send a postcard from Bangkok through the lens of design-duo P. Tendercool. On the water, Sanlorenzo Yachts shows how Italian design continues to redefine modern luxury. In New Orleans we explore a city that truly moves to its own rhythm, before rounding up creative art hotels where style is part of the experience. We head to St Pete as a cultural destination in its own right, check into The Plymouth Hotel Miami and finish with a creative weekend in Lisbon that blends history, contemporary culture and effortless charm.

DESTINATIONS
Siem Reap
There’s a common thread of conversation in Siem Reap’s bars, restaurants, and hotels when you ask, “How’s business?” The answer is often, “a little slow still.” While tourism numbers have been steadily rising across Southeast Asia post-pandemic, Cambodia has been slower to see a full recovery. The country’s visitor numbers, while improving, are still lagging behind pre-pandemic figures by nearly 20%.
Cultural Adventures in Australia
We’re setting off on an incredible journey with our award-winning tour guide. Over the next five days, we’ll experience a series of unforgettable moments that include breathtaking drone displays that tell ancient stories to the backdrop of magnificent Uluru, to a spine-tingling walk along a canyon’s edge, the journey promises to be full of surprises - an adventure that will offer a lifetime of memories.
Beyond the Alps
Basel’s slogan, ‘Swiss but different,’ captures the city’s unique charm. As Switzerland’s third-largest city, Basel offers nearly 40 museums to explore, blending the historic with the avant-garde.

Marrakech Unveiled
Marrakech’s warm ochre hues, deep blue sky, and palm-fringed skyline always manage to cast a spell. Unlike the glitz of Dubai or the polished beauty of Oman, Marrakech exudes an effortless charm—unpretentious, raw, and welcoming.
CREATIVE CHECK-IN
THE CONCH GIRL PROJECT
Feeling disconnected from her new environment after moving from China to the US in 2022, Sidian Liu began to consider ways in which she could feel more at home. Remembering her love for cooking—a cherished skill since childhood—this seemed like the obvious bridge to connection and comfort.
