Life at @royaldavuifiji is shaped by the water and everything moving beneath it 🐠
Set in the heart of Beqa Lagoon, the island is encircled by reefs; bright, shifting and busting with marine life at every turn.
Balmy days drift by between snorkels over the coral gardens, flashes of colour darting just below the surface and slow paddles across water so clear it almost disappears beneath you.
As one of Fiji’s only adults-only private island resorts and a consistent @cntraveler award-winner, Royal Davui Island Resort is truly, one of the South Pacific’s most spectacular escapes.
Fico Carlton has opened its doors at the newly launched Crowne Plaza Melbourne Carlton. The contemporary Italian diner is named for the Moreton Bay fig trees that frame the park, testament to how much the venue is influenced by its Carlton location. ”We want Fico to be a place where everyone feels at home, whether dining alone for a quiet breakfast or celebrating a special occasion with a big group.” Head to the link in bio for the full story.
Say hello to the new @crowneplazacarlton ; a design-led stay that brings a fresh energy to one of Melbourne’s most storied neighbourhoods. Perched by Lincoln Square on the CBD’s edge, it’s equal parts local character and global polish.
Think sun-dappled facades inspired by tree-lined streets, warm timber interiors, layered artworks and rooms that feel quietly cocooned in deep greens and natural textures.
Downstairs, @ficocarlton is a modern take on Carlton’s trattoria culture, where handmade pasta, seasonal plates and a little tableside theatre keep things lively from day to night.
@eight_communications is proud to be part of this exciting new chapter for Carlton.

Welcome to the fried chicken and champagne club 🥂🍗 @barangaroohouse
Barangaroo House has launched its Chicken & Champagne Club today, running all month-long. It is a celebration of Japanese fried chicken paired with Champagne - what a combo!
Available across all three floors - House Bar, @rekodo.barangaroo , and Smoke Bar - until 31 March, the limited edition menu reimagines crispy fried chicken with elevated flavors and playful nods to fast food culture, paired with premium Champagne, turning loved classics into a boujee experience in Barangaroo House’s stunning harbourfront setting 🙌
Think caviar-topped karaage, lobster-stuffed fried chicken wings, katsu sliders (my fave), crispy spatchcock (also elite) and fried chicken buckets, alongside casual bites with premium touches like Champagne glaze and yuzu mayo. The menu is complemented by @moetchandon , @veuveclicquot
Clicquot, and @domperignonofficial , served by the glass or bottle - don’t mind if I do!! 🍾

The Chicken & Champagne Club has arrived. From today until 31 March, @barangaroohouse turns fried chicken into a Champagne affair.
Caviar on karaage. Lobster in the wings. Katsu sliders done right. Buckets, but make them luxe. All matched with Moët, Veuve Clicquot and Dom Pérignon overlooking the harbour.
Indulgence, upgraded. Kampai!

As @panpacificmelbourne shifts into top gear for @ausgp the ultimate @mclarenf1 #Artura has made a seriously sleek pit stop in the lobby.
If you’re anywhere near South Wharf swing by, snap a pic and get up close with this beauty before she speeds off 🏁🏎️
Eight Communications is proud to introduce @crowneplazageelong . Set directly on the water and moments from the soon-to-open Nyaal Banyul Convention and Event Centre, the brand new $120m hotel is just beautiful and a jewel along the Geelong waterfront.
Inside, think calm, coastal interiors, locally commissioned art, neighbourhood-style dining at Sociali Trattoria & Bar and sunset sessions by the Skyline Bar overlooking the bay.
Less than an hour from Melbourne’s CBD and opening just in time to catch the rest of the warmer months, @crowneplazageelong marks the brand’s debut in regional Victoria.
