Set along the coastline of Cyprus, Elysium (@elysiumhotel ) and AMARA (@amarahotelcy ) offer two distinct perspectives on the island, balancing ancient history, restorative calm and contemporary glamour against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.
In her review, Claire Singer (@claire.singer ) reflects on arriving in Cyprus depleted and leaving restored, drawn to the slower rhythm of spring on the island, where wildflowers, sea air and quiet mornings shape the experience as much as the hotels themselves.
At Elysium, she finds comfort in the hotel’s warm, old-world atmosphere, sea-facing terraces and thoughtful sense of place, with Paphos’ archaeological landscape woven naturally into each day.
The review also explores the contrast of AMARA’s sleek, modern energy near Limassol, where glass-lined interiors, horizon sea views and destination dining create a polished yet calming retreat. Across both stays, moments of stillness, restorative spa treatments and long lunches by the water become part of a wider reflection on travel, rest and reconnecting with yourself.

Fox Communications recently visited @melondonhotel to experience the hotel’s pioneering new wellness concept ahead of its official launch on 11th May.
Created in partnership with The Self Love Lab (@theselflovelab.co.uk ), the Recovery Lab introduces a new approach to in-room wellbeing, bringing together manifestation practices, guided rituals and advanced red light therapy technology.
Set within the hotel’s striking design-led spaces in the heart of Covent Garden, the experience included FOREO’s latest LED innovations alongside full-body recovery tools designed to support relaxation, skin health and nervous system regulation.
Available as an add-on to all stays, the Recovery Lab reflects the growing shift towards more immersive and intentional wellness experiences within luxury hospitality, transforming the hotel room into a private sanctuary for rest and recovery 🤍🧘♀️

Located in the beating heart of Málaga’s cultural quarter, ME Málaga (@memalagahotel ) brings a bold, contemporary energy to the city’s evolving scene, with interiors that balance clean architectural lines and expressive design details.
In her review, Isabella Noble (@isabellamnoble ) is drawn to the hotel’s confident sense of style, with rooms that feel polished yet playful, shaped by thoughtful lighting, curated art, and a connection to the city just outside.
The review highlights ME Málaga’s lively rooftop, capturing the city’s social spirit, alongside spaces that shift easily between calm retreat and lively atmosphere. The location places you moments from galleries, historic streets and the coastline, while still holding its own distinct identity.

Safari, sunsets, and sky-high views🐘🌅🎈
The Fox Communications team recently spent seven unforgettable days in Tanzania with @themeliacollection , hosting press across two extraordinary properties, @ngorongorolodge and @meliaserengetilodge .
Set against some of the most iconic landscapes in the world, the trip brought early morning safaris, sweeping savannah views, and a chance to witness wildlife up close in its natural habitat.
Between hot air balloon rides at dawn, long afternoons soaking in the stillness of the plains, and evenings spent in the most beautifully designed lodges, every moment felt both grounding and surreal.
Thank you to The Meliá Collection team for such thoughtful hospitality🧡
Our latest edition of Fox Quarterly is now live ✨
This issue explores one defining question: what does value really mean in luxury today?
As pricing rises faster than creativity, consumers are looking more closely at what they’re actually getting in return. Not just the product, but the feeling, the story, and the experience around it.
Building on the conversations from our Luxury Insights event, we examine how expectations are shifting and what that means for brands.
In this issue:
📊 Davin Reid-Montanaro on shifting high net worth priorities and the new drivers of loyalty
📱 Kristina Karassoulis on visibility, culture and the growing role of storytelling
🌿 Jo James of One Menagerie on designing for true human equilibrium in an always-on world
✈️ NoteWorthy on experience-led travel and the value of what you take away
🍽️ Lisa Harris on how luxury dining is rethinking what it means to be worth it
🛎️ Seth Johnson on why emotional connection is redefining what something is worth
Where luxury was once defined by what you owned, it is now shaped by what stays with you.

@ftweekend steps aboard Aqua Lares in the Seychelles.
Once owned by a tech titan and now reimagined by @aqua_expeditions , the 77-metre yacht offers a different take on life at sea, one that opens up the superyacht experience to a wider, design-conscious traveller.
In this piece, the journey unfolds across coral-fringed islands and glassy waters, with days spent snorkelling among reef sharks, early-morning swims and landings on untouched beaches. Onboard, interiors are considered yet indulgent, balancing heritage with a contemporary sense.

@tamsouth checks into @thejamesfirenze .
Housed within a restored 16th-century palazzo and brought to life by visionary designer James Cavagnari (@primadesignflorence ), the hotel opened its doors last summer as an exquisite, design-led escape.
In her review, she’s drawn to the individuality of each suite, layered with frescoes, antiques and locally sourced pieces that give every space its own story. The setting offers a genuinely local corner of Florence, moving at its own pace, just a short walk away from the city’s landmarks. Throughout, a level of service that feels intuitive while still distinctly personal.

Snow, sun, and of course, spa ❄️⛷️
The Fox team recently spent four days with the press at COMO Alpina Dolomites, a serene year-round base for outdoor adventures. The trip was filled with long ski days, slow lunches overlooking the mountains, time to switch off and recharge, and the most exquisite dinners each evening.
Thank you to the COMO team for looking after us so well, we’ll be dreaming of those alpine views for the foreseeable 🏔️
