Our writers have just returned from this gorgeous property, so look forward to a full rundown soon.

On tour at the Byron Bay Writers Festival, the Miles Franklin-winning author of Ghost Cities and his literary agent embark on the next instalment of Eat, Pray, Bruv.
Some places announce themselves with fireworks and enough polished surfaces to make a person feel underdressed by the time they have located reception. Arjan Cave at Kamalaya does something far more interesting.

This trip – to Kuala Lumpur’s Hyatt Regency Midtown and Park Hyatt properties – is a mea culpa to my family. See, the last time I went on a jetsetting luxury getaway, I made the grave mistake of going, uh, not with my wife and kids, but instead with my literary agent, Brendan (see: my earlier travel piece for First Class Magazine, Eat, Pray, Bruv).
Across Sri Lanka’s mountains, coast and tea country, the brand unfolds through a set of experiences that are deliberately slow, rooted in language, landscape and lived tradition. Each begins with Aa…, a shared linguistic thread drawn from Sinhala and regional heritage, connecting the properties while allowing each to speak in its own voice.
Twenty-five years in the making, the Trinity Point precinct in Morisset has finally received development approval and will transform the area into a luxury waterfront destination.
