The Bentayga, once frowned upon by Bentley purists, is the British automaker’s most popular model. Historically, Bentley has produced cars with a key focus that combines luxury with engaging driving dynamics, a nod to their racing heritage. The idea that an iconic British brand – celebrated for its sumptuous limousines and lavish grand tourers – was creating a luxury SUV seemed ghastly to some. The introduction of the Bentayga in 2015, much like the first Continental GT in 2003, caused much controversy. Was there even a demand for a high-end luxury SUV? Today, we live in a very different world: Bentley’s flagship limousine – the Mulsanne, is no longer, as…
Well, the new year is well and truly underway, and the calendar’s first opportunity for heartfelt gift-giving is upon us once again. Whether you’re a seasoned romantic or simply erring on the side of caution (which is, let’s be honest, always sensible when it comes to matters of the heart), Valentine’s Day has long been a chance to demonstrate your affection via the medium of gifting. Scour the internet at your leisure during the month of February, and it’s likely you’ll come across no shortage of V-Day gift guides.

Half-walled with glass, a surrounding decked courtyard garden is enclosed with a stone wall peppered with ferns. Textural elements from our backdrop are mirrored in the interiors, with well-tended plants, bark-tiled feature walls, underheated wooden floors, a hanging fireplace and his and hers sinks held up by exposed tree roots.
At the heart of this verdant expanse, in the southern foothills of the Sintra Mountains, I discovered the Penha Longa Resort; a sanctuary that beautifully marries luxury with the great outdoors and boasts one of the top 30 golf courses in Continental Europe and among the top 10 in Portugal.
The Land Rover Defender is a British icon. Its significance goes far beyond its purpose of getting from A to B—its quintessential Britishness is on a par with Queen Elizabeth II, afternoon tea and aggressive politeness. It was used by armed forces on the frontline, driven by royalty, and is now owned by families across the UK.
Lingering in a stocking, waiting under the tree, or an early gift for a private moment. A scent is personal, a fragrance is meaningful, a present for the season that creates memories with every wear.
Sublimely luxurious skincare is a moment to savour, and nothing says this more than the EviDens De Beauté Essentials Collection. Comprising their most cherished pieces, you can expect ultra-nourishing formulas for supreme skin quality.
The festive season arrives more swiftly with every passing year, the world revolves at the same speed and yet the spin revs higher as each calendar page turns. It’s important not to lose sight of what is important in these winter months, moments of reflection and sentiments of gratitude are significant to share with our friends, our family and also with ourselves, for making it through another 365 days is no mean feat.

As global economies shift and ultra-high-net-worth individuals seek diversification in both their assets and lifestyle options, investment migration has gained traction as a popular strategy. The appeal of owning multiple properties across the globe, particularly for those in the centi-millionaire bracket, cannot be overstated.
The connoisseurs of all things Bourbon-related may undertake their pilgrimages to the dust-strewn distilleries of Kentucky and Tennessee, keen to uncover the heritage and delights of Pappy’s and their kin. Those seeking the (supposed) origins of the whiskies of the British Isles will congregate around Bushmills in County Antrim.
Located just 90 miles north of the intensity of Los Angeles and 325 miles south of vibrant San Francisco, Santa Barbara is affectionately called The American Riviera.

I slip my slightly clammy hand gingerly into the slot, ease some pressure and pull gently skyward. That scissor-door entry is nothing less than muted pornography. So effortless in its execution, it’s part of the recipe that makes the Aventador just that little bit more special.
Quality, innovation and – by god, in this case – style. Casio’s reputation precedes it when it comes to its product development and, crucially, its product refinement. Their first electronic keyboard, The Casiotone CT-201, was birthed by Toshio Kashio and his team in January 1980.
Fresh from four days in Scotland driving the simply astonishing Ferrari F8 Spider, there are times in one’s life where you have to sit back, take some time, and genuinely let an experience wash over you. You need to take it in. Revel in it. The smells, the sights, the sheer visceral nature of it.
Like many Swiss watchmaking dynasties, Alpina can trace its founding back to the turn of the nineteenth century – 1883 to be precise – by Gottlieb Hauser, a watchmaker in Winterthur, who also established the Swiss Watchmakers Corporation (Union Horlogère Suisse).
It wasn’t until Stacia Suttles turned 19 and stepped into a boxing ring for the first time, that the amateur fighter realised she was exceptionally gifted in the combat sport.
I scanned the horizon of the Finnish race circuit but Charlie was possibly doing a few laps in the 500hp V8 110. “Let me see if I can find him Tony”. “Cool man”. This was the first of a handful of semi awkward exchanges I would have with Tony Hawk that week as we crossed from Finland into Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Austria and Monaco.
