Santa is giving his reindeer a break when he lands in Mexico this year. Word has it that he plans to arrive at Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, México via paratrike, making an unforgettable landing on the beach.
Those inspired by his statement-making arrival can book their own paratrike adventure. The 15-minute flight includes breathtaking aerial views, with the opportunity to spot wildlife in the distance. Tamarindo’s expansive nature reserve spans 3,000 acres (1,214 hectares) and features 6 miles (10 kilometres) of coastline. Just 2% of the reserve is developed, leaving a vast natural sanctuary sure to inspire anyone who appreciates plants, animals and ecosystems.
Within this ecological oasis, lies Rancho Lola, a low-impact sustainable farm just a short golf cart ride from the Resort. This holiday season, you’re invited to reconnect with the origins of ingredients native to the region while developing an understanding of and appreciation for the distinct flavours of Mexico. In this unique setting, you can experience and savour the finest regional and locally grown produce.
If the ocean is calling your name, charter a boat and observe sea life in the serene, tucked-away bays of Tamarindo. Or join a whale-watching tour to spot these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat during the peak of whale season in Mexico.
End the day with an evening under the stars via exclusive access to a private section of the Resort’s Spa. Enjoy a 90-minute full body couple’s massage followed by champagne, light snacks and two hours of private spa access, including the steam rooms, the outdoor showers and the relaxation pools.
From elevated private dining options to weekly posadas and open-air movie nights next to the beach, it’s easy to see why Four Seasons is one of the best resorts for a Christmas vacation.
Glenmorangie has released an extraordinarily rare, limited edition, Glenmorangie Dr Bill Lumsden x Azuma Makoto 23 Years Old. This special collaboration between Glenmorangie Director of Whisky Creation Dr. Bill Lumsden and Japanese botanical artist Azuma Makoto reflects their shared love of nature and all that it encompasses.
During a trip to Glenmorangie’s Highland Distillery, Dr. Bill and Azuma were inspired by the beauty of their surroundings. Together they imagined a uniquely delicious single malt which celebrates nature in all its forms. Dr. Bill created a rich and mellow whisky, aged in bourbon casks and then oak casks which had previously held Chardonnay white wine from Burgundy, a first for Glenmorangie.
In his Tokyo studio, Azuma Makoto found inspiration in the flavors of the whisky to create a complex botanical work entitled Shinra Bansho, a celebration of all things that exist in the universe. This masterpiece is showcased on the packaging of the limited edition whisky.
Absolutely delighted with the result, Dr. Bill stated: “Our collaboration with Azuma Makoto is a delicious celebration of nature’s wonder. Including our first whisky finished in Chardonnay casks from the Meursault appellation in Burgundy, this 23-year-old single malt encapsulates nature in all its forms, through notes of lemon balsam, poached pears and cocoa powder layered on the oaky, earthy tones of the forest floor. Azuma-san’s stunning sculpture, featured on the whisky’s packaging, evokes the fragrant scents and elemental depths of this extraordinarily rare whisky – a gift from nature itself.”
Chaumet presents its new High Jewelry collection, Chaumet en Scène, a celebration of artistic disciplines that unfolds in three chapters: Music, Dance and Magic. The pieces in the Chaumet en Scène collection promise to transform the wearer into their own director, attract full attention and captivate the audience, creating breathless suspense…
For the first scene, dedicated to Music, Chaumet artisans have created pieces both complex and delicate, including a necklace in the Harmony parure with 700 bezel and 2,800 claw settings to express an exquisite sense of movement. Each piece – necklaces, earrings and rings – recounts an extraordinary melody.
Dance inspires the second scene in the narrative with creations that evoke the graceful movement of dancers. The Tango parure draws inspiration from the passionate dance, with rubellites and tourmalines following one another in golden spirals. The Ballet parure performs a contemporary pas de deux with Ceylon sapphires and diamonds, while the meeting of violet sapphires and white gold evokes the energy of jazz in the Swing parure.
Dedicated to Magic, the third scene features the Voltige parure, evoking acrobats with diamonds that seem to float above the skin, as well as the Illusion parure, which dazzles with ravishing Mozambique rubies.
One after the other, the Music, Dance and Magic scenes showcase the Maison’s virtuosity. Reveling in the spotlight, the parures adopt a rhythm of their own, mixing repetitive patterns and free time. Translating Chaumet’s renowned art of movement, each parure becomes a breathtaking performance in which the High Jewelry pieces magnify exceptional stones.

The variety of colours is Saad’s greatest source of inspiration; she loves combining various tones to liven up the space. Customers seek her out to make their homes appear more lively and, consequently, be fired enthusiastically.
Mai usually uses a modern aesthetic in her creations, which are timeless since they are slick, colourful, opulent, and straightforward.
“The best part of the journey, apart from seeing Boca do Lobo products and attending workshop in person is certainly Douro House, where we are currently shooting. It is more than perfect; its product display, house’s style itself, and the surrounding nature.”
