Sydney to watch her hero,2018Young Australian of theYear Samantha

rdinary story. Little girls all over the world have heroes they want to
grow up to be like. However, it made me feel very proud of the stories my team at BAZAAR
work hard to find and share with you each month. Stories about dynamic, focused, selfless,
ambitious and successful women. I strongly believe it’s important that we continue to recog-

deeply about others and what they think. She loves
large and gives generously. She’s as gentle as she is
tough.I’ve seen her wounded more than once when
the sentiment is not reciprocated. She’s a woman’s
woman, who lifts up others in a bitch-free zone,
fuelled at the heart of it all by an all-consuming
abhorrence of injustice. Of any kind.”

minutes early so I can warm up on the stairmaster. I like to listen to music during my
warm-up, and have a few go-to Spotify playlists with a lot of Cardi B and Childish

2:00PM Our New York City Kode With Klossy
camps are being hosted in a WeWork this year, so I head
downtown to check out the space before our scholars arrive in
coming weeks. On my way, I grab a Sweetgreen salad with vegies or
a grilled salmon from Sant Ambroeus for a late lunch. Both are right out-
side my office. 3:30PM Klossy Productions is working on a few Estée Lauder
beauty videos for my YouTube channel, and today we’re filming something fun
for [northern hemisphere] summer. Ever since I was a teenager, it’s been my
dream to work with such an iconic brand, and I’m so humbled that the moment

town of St. Louis. We catch up and plan for my next visit home. As grateful as
I am for all of the countries and cities I’ve been able to visit throughout my
career, there’s truly no better feeling than relaxing at home with my family,
friends and my dog, Joe. 11:30PM I try to head to bed before midnight.
I’m a huge fan of face masks, so before getting into bed I wash my face
with a gentle cleanser and apply Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night
Repair PowerFoil Mask. I use it once a week to keep my
skin refreshed and hydrated. After about 10 minutes,
I remove the mask and hop into bed to
catch up on emails and texts.

In an email ‘interview’ with Miquela mediated by her agents, she
mused to BAZAAR on her wide reach as a virtual influencer.“I’m out
to inspire anyone who thinks they don’t quite fit in. I felt like an outcast
for so long and I couldn’t find my place, but I’ve experienced an over-

is seemingly more important today than the physical, she prickled.
“Ummm, who said I thought that? I encourage everyone to get their

designer clothing or product placement from brands seeking to reach
her many followers, it’s clear that Miquela is getting her paper.

possibilities of the virtual world”. It was through working with
forward-thinking luxury houses such as this that artistic director

realism or even his own physicality as a Caucasian male, Zuber’s
creation, Noonoouri, stands at 150 centimetres tall, with huge,
doll-like eyes and an oversized, cartoonish head.“I had long been
thinking of this digital character who discovered the world of
beauty and fashion and who was fascinated by that
world,” Zuber explains with a truly childlike enthusi-
asm.“Similar to when I was a young boy myself.”

I’ve seen her around”, and, 24 hours later, there’s our

I was almost crying. Because, for me, it was
a personality that was in my head for seven
years, and people like this knowing and lov-

Wilson muses that this ability to tran-
scend boundaries may ultimately lead to
a complete democratisation of identity, a
blurring of all boundaries — age, race,
gender, geography, socioeconomic status,
everything. He suggests that in the not too
distant future, our digital selves will perhaps
even surpass our physical selves.“I love this
idea because in 3-D we can be anyone,” he
says. “We can leave behind all the labels
we’re born with and create our own.”

time in this, with Yves Saint Laurent launching his more affordable
ready-to-wear collection, Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, in 1966.
The Alhambra collection was launched two years later, the same
year the jumbo jet rolled out of production, making jet travel
accessible beyond the rich. Veruschka was the epitome of style in
Saint Laurent’s front-laced safari tunic, and John Paul Getty, Jr and
Talitha Getty the bohemian Marrakech pin-up couple of the time.
Women began to wear jewellery differently, layering long strings
of beads and exploring a more eclectic look, rather than simply
diamonds and pearls. As Foulkes writes in his coffee-table book
Alhambra, published to coincide with the anniversary, “Taste was
splintering: fashion was no longer dictated by a few couturiers in
Paris, looks were changing and a casual elegance was emerging
that treated jewellery as an accessory.”
“It was perfect timing,” Foulkes tells me. “Here you have the

morning, despite the reliably unforgiving
Melburnian weather. More extraordinary
on of the fans and the hailstorm of media
attention was the story of the woman behind the baking.
Kate Reid was 13 when she decided she wanted to be an
engineer; more specifically, she wanted to be the first
female technical director of a Formula One racing team.
She completed a five-year aerospace degree and worked
stints at Volkswagen and Ford before accepting a role as a
junior aerodynamicist at Williams F1 in the UK. But Kate
was confronted with a harsh reality: after years of hard
work and single-minded devotion to achieving her career
goals, she realised her dream job was not as fulfilling as she
had hoped. She found the work intense, isolating, repetitive
and almost completely devoid of the creativity and team
camaraderie she had imagined.
Much has been written about her journey from here to
starting Lune Croissanterie in 2012, but what most profiles
neglect to mention is the tremendous emotional and physi-
cal battle she fought to get there. Kate’s unhappiness at work
and the disintegration of her childhood dream led to a deep
and debilitating depression. She began to fixate on her
weight, the only thing she could control, and commenced
a serious and scarring battle with anorexia nervosa.
After four difficult years and a period at home with her
family, Kate’s journey to recovery began with working a few
hours a day making cakes and pastries at a local cafe. It was
during this period that her Sliding Doors moment happened.
One afternoon, after finishing her shift, she found herself at
home with a new coffee-table book about Parisian patisse-
ries. She opened the book to a double-page photo of a stack
of pains au chocolat at Parisian boulangerie Du Pain et des
Idées. Hypnotised by their perfection, she closed the book,
walked to the travel agent and booked a ticket to Paris.
You might say the rest is history, but Kate’s journey from
that moment is extraordinary in every way. A formally
untrained baker, she nevertheless secured an apprenticeship
at Du Pain et des Idées and learnt the craft. Back at home,
she took the technical skills from her background in engi-
neering and used them to elevate what she’d learnt. Initially

t’s 5.15pm on a picture-

perfect Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles and
Lara Worthington looks as if she’s in her element.
The model/creative director/beauty entrepreneur
and mother of three-year-old Rocket and one-
year-old Racer has just settled back on a sunlounger
with a tall iced water in hand. Admittedly, this is
classified as work, but when your close girlfriend
the Australian actor Phoebe Tonkin is interviewing
you in her sun-drenched back garden, there are
more bonuses than one.For starters:complimentary
face masks. Plus,Worthington has scored a rare free
pass from the dreaded witching hour back home,
just a short drive away.When that involves two boys
under four, who could blame her for delighting in
the escape? Although Lara’s marriage to actor Sam
Worthington makes it appear she leads an A-list
existence, this current life phase doesn’t allow her
to experience LA’s nightlife. It’s more about long
days spent at Griffith Park, trampoline centres,
toddler dance classes and playgroups, trying to
wear out her boys.The 31-year-old seems blissfully
fulfilled, though she does also seem to be soaking
in every second of solitude …
Twenty-nine-year-oldTonkin, armed with a page
of questions and also smothered in a face mask, was
appointed interviewer by BAZAAR for various
reasons.BothWorthington andTonkin were raised in
Sydney (Worthington, Cronulla; Tonkin, Mosman)
and now call LA home.Both women are accustomed
to challenging the preconceptions others have
about them (Tonkin recently earned serious-actor
cred for her lead role in the SBS drama Safe Harbour
after years of being cast in fantasy-character roles,
while former It girl Worthington is relishing her
role as a mother.) And something else: both women
possess highly developed social consciences. Gun
control, gender equality, #TimesUp, gay rights —
if there’s a way they can use their profiles to bring
awareness to a cause (and the time and the place
are right) they’ll happily do so. – E UGENIE K ELLY

PHOEBE TONKIN: Hi, Lara. I’ve never done this before!

And with a friend ...
LARA WORTHINGTON: Oh, come on!You’re the actress.
PT: That doesn’t make me a journalist! Anyway, this is
Harper’s BAZAAR’s Visionary Women issue.To me, you’re
a visionary woman.What’s your definition of visionary?
LW: It’s someone who is brave, creative and who follows
their dreams. Someone innovative.
PT: You told me before that this new life you have in
LA has made you realise you’re surrounded by visionary
women.Who are they?
LW: You! For starters, you’re sitting in front of me right
now conducting this interview, wearing a skincare mask.
PT: I’m multitasking. I’m in journalist mode and taking
care of my skin at the same time.
LW: Seriously, I think we get along so well because you’re
real and authentic. I like to think I’m the same, so that’s
why we connect. But it’s also my mum, my grandma, my
best friends, teachers at school, other mothers I’ve met
since having children.
PT: Is it important to have a strong network of mums
around you right now?
LW: As a mum, you can doubt yourself, so it’s good to
talk to others going through the same thing. But it’s also
important to step out of the mum bubble and have other
friends to talk to, just to get a different perspective on
things. I have a greater group of women around me here
in LA than ever before.There are real similarities between
Australia and LA. I feel at ease here.

PT: Both of us grew up in Australia, so I always knew

who you were, but I’ve loved getting to know you better.
What you’ve done as a businesswoman, in creating The
Base, you’ve proven you’re not just a pretty face.The
number of times you call me or text me and you’re sitting
at the library working — that’s a side people never see.
It’s cool that you don’t try to force people to see it; that’s
what’s authentic about you.You have a nerdy, hard-working
side, but you don’t care about proving to people that you
are that person.A few months ago, we had the chance
to protest together at the Women’s March in LA and you
shared several stories from the day on your social media
platforms. Have the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements
impacted you personally?
LW: That was my first time going to a march. I found it
empowering to be able to do that, to actually really get
behind something.This is a unique moment in history and
we find strength in numbers.Women around the globe are
standing up for themselves and speaking out.Their voices,
their bodies, their power. Did you know that feminism
was the word of the year in 2017 — the word looked up
the most in online dictionaries? That’s huge.
PT: I find it really funny that people are only now standing
up and identifying as feminist.You and I have always
considered ourselves that. But for others, there have been
negative associations. For me, feminism is about equality.
It’s about standing up for people to have equal chances
and choices. Lara, are there any heroines or artists you
look up to when it comes to paving the way for women?
LW: [Canadian basketball player] Andrea Constand is
amazing. I learnt more about her when I watched a
recent Dateline episode on [her and] Bill Cosby. So many
women accused him of sexual assault, but her allegations
proved critical in bringing him to justice. I watched that
with my husband and just found her so empowering.
Emma González, the high-school senior from Parkland,
Florida, who has become an activist for gun control [after
17 people were killed during a shooting at her school,
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in February].
And [international law and human rights barrister] Amal
Clooney. She’s so much more than George Clooney’s
wife — I find her inspiring.
PT: With girls like González, you realise the youth
today hold so much power.This generation are educated,
savvy and opinionated.When I was in high school, this
wasn’t championed — we all held pretty uniform views.
Although nominating Emma Watson as an inspiring
female is pretty clichéd, she used her profile and gave
a really inspiring speech [at the UN] that brought a
fresh perspective to the feminist movement. She made
you feel like you could express your opinions.
So, you’re into documentaries — what about books
and podcasts?
LW: I listen to a lot of podcasts while I’m driving. I like
Goop’s — they talk about everything from your body
to sex, to your relationship with your mum.And I’m
into How I Built This and that kind of discussion.At the
other end of the spectrum, I find crime-story podcasts
like Trace:Who Killed Maria James? captivating. I also like
Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter.
PT: Where are you at with Instagram and social media?
LW: I don’t know. I feel that as I get older, the less

short, squoval nails if you’re going for something more subtle.
PINK IS THE NEW RED While a classic crimson lip will never go out of style, this season
makeup artists are also reaching for its edgy cousin, neon pink. “A bright fuchsia is very on-trend
now,” says makeup artist Daniel Martin. To keep the look grown-up, he recommends choosing
a mat hue. Try Dior Rouge Dior Liquid in Shock Matte, $53. If neon pink seems daunting, opt
for close relatives such as lavender, magenta and rose. “The blue and purple undertones in these
shades of pink make them more universally flattering than pinks with yellow or orange tones,”
Martin explains. To emphasise the shape of your lips and make them look fuller, add a touch of
gold to your Cupid’s bow. “It creates light,” says makeup artist Vicky Steckel. – Erin Flaherty

Representation of women in media is at a

almost every Kardashian-Jenner, Chrissy Teigen, and Gigi and Bella Hadid.

It takes guts to take the French on at fragrance and have them love you for it.
Grandiflora Fragrance, the boutique edit of fine parfums born of “a tiny flower
shop” in Sydney, is the little brand that could. And has. Launched in Paris itself to Grandilora

and see the shop where our story started,” says Havekes, the florist who knew her
favourite blooms needed to be bottled. “It’s extraordinary, really.” Havekes is being
modest. That “tiny flower shop”, Grandiflora, has been a synonym for elevated
artisanal florals since it opened in 1995. To compose her juice, Havekes tapped
legendary noses Sandrine Videault, Michel Roudnitska and Bertrand Duchaufour.
She could’ve cranked out a standard oil, but Havekes wanted the nuance of petal,
pollen, stem and soil. “It’s like a painting — layers and shades in a rendition of a
flower,” she says. “I have the vision; the perfumer has the refined palate, the touch
and flair.” Therein lies a lesson for startups and creative side-hustlers everywhere:
you do what you’re magic at; outsource the technical tricks to an expert.
WHAT MAKES A FRAGRANCE SPECIAL? “I like when people first smell a
fragrance yet might not buy it until next week or next month, when they can’t
stop thinking about it,” Havekes says. “I like the real connection of that.”

THE RULE-BREAKER
THOMAS DE KLUYVER, MAKEUP ARTIST
Homegrown in Perth, blowing up in London, de Kluyver might just be
one of Australia’s brightest beauty exports. Dominating the season backstage
at shows from Opening Ceremony to Jason Wu, Jil Sander and Kenzo, the
entirely self-schooled makeup artist is getting traction for making runway
beauty, dare we say it, democratic. “My assistant found the craft glitter we
used over the top of the Maybelline colours at Opening Ceremony at the
mall just by Disneyland,” he says. “I’d say more than half my brushes are
from the art supply store — my favourite ones for blending eye shadow are
actually meant for watercolours, and my number-one lip brush is a square
synthetic brush that I think cost me around two dollars.” What should we
invest in instead? “The best-quality foundation and skincare
you can afford — my favourites are from Chanel and Crème
de la Mer,” he says. De Kluyver, the son of a theatre director,
first got a feel for faces by practising looks from François Nars’
book Makeup Your Mind and Stéphane Marais’ Beauty Flash
on his friends and taking bold makeup looks out in clubland.
His philosophy: don’t be intimidated, be inspired.
“I love to take classic looks and give them a twist or subvert A Thomas de

teased so relentlessly in high school that she dropped out, Harlow says
approaching supermodel status isn’t a clap back at bullies; she’s more
about raising the bar, pushing the conversation about diversity wide
open. And with 3.4 million fans on Instagram, she’s not scared to speak
up. When a London tabloid called her a “vitiligo sufferer”, Harlow
’grammed a response: “I’m not a ‘Vitiligo Sufferer’. … I am Winnie.

Green beauty doesn’t mean what it used to.

psychoactive THC, products are infused with
‘miracle molecule’ CBD, the non-psychoactive
cannabis compound that has been associated
with immunity and digestive health. Some
claim CBD also helps with headaches,
cramps and stress. Cannabis skincare is cool,
and Mata’s brand is not alone — but it’s
controversial. Inconsistent legislation makes it
impossible to ship some products across state
lines within the US (internationally? Forget
it.) Still, Mata believes marijuana-made beauty
can go mainstream. As discussion about
commercial cannabis cropping and
recreational legalisation heats up in Australia,
we’re calling this the skincare space to watch.

SUI SICONG; COURTESY OF AMANYANGYUN
The cultural classes are mostly carried out in Amanyangyun’s

cultural centre, Nanshufang, which sits in the middle of the property.
Designed by renowned Australian architect Kerry Hill, the hotel (13
villas and 24 courtyard suites of minimalist yet unapologetic luxury)
has only just been completed, though the place heaves with history.
Sixteen years ago, a wealthy young Chinese property developer, Ma
Dadong, visited Fuzhou, the ancient Jiangxi village of his childhood,
to find that plans had been approved for a reservoir that would
submerge historic villas and a forest of 2000-year-old camphor trees.

There are two main areas of inspiration during design week: and each year the designers work with innovative artists to create
Salone and the Fuorisalone, an event that arose spontaneously something special. COS has a quiet and considered approach to

design — an aesthetic that is timeless and

almost architectural — and it ensures its
brand values are shared by its artistic collabo-
rators.To date, the brand has teamed up with
New York studio Snarkitecture (2015),
Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto (2016) and
London-based artists Studio Swine (2017).
This year, the COS team decided to work
with high-profile Palm Springs-based artist
Phillip K. Smith III to create Open Sky, an
immersive large-scale installation in the
courtyard of Palazzo Isimbardi, a 16th-cen-
tury villa leading onto lush private gardens.
Walking through the installation is an
emotional experience — one that nearly
20,000 visitors lined up around the block to
have.The sculpture — a crescent of mirrors
angled at a 43-degree upward slant — gives
the effect of the sky having been dragged down to earth. Smith
explains that the mirrors themselves have a rich history and are

This concept of more than meets the eye
aligns with COS’s creative philosophy. Creative director Karin
Gustafsson explains:“When we first did something [at Salone], we
didn’t have a store in Milan, but our creative teams had been [to
design week] many times for research and felt there was obviously
so much more going on than furniture design. We wanted the
disciplines to come together; we love the creativity of that. Milan
is an amazing city, the design elements are amazing and [Salone] is
so international, bringing together lots of different backgrounds
and creativity from all over the world.”
Smith explains, “When we started, they gave me a very open
brief:‘We are COS, this is what we do, what we believe in — time-
lessness, quality, craftsmanship, a distillation of ideas … and here’s

Palazzo Isimbardi.’ The thought was to take that square of the sky
and pull it down to the ground — let the sky exist on the ground
in front of you so you can have a conversation with the sky just like
we are having a conservation with each other right now.”
But not everyone can be in Milan to experience the exhibition,
so what does the COS customer get out of this? Gustafsson says
it’s all about connection. “Our customers share our mindset and
interest in architecture.They are culturally aware, with a big-city
mindset, and like to know what is going on. For us, we hope the
customer finds this inspiring.”

personal style and the vibe inside her and partner Russell Munro’s
airy beachside apartment in Coogee, Sydney.
Gittoes has a very serious eye for detail, honed by years of study
for her design degree, and it is put to good use in her role as crea-
tive director. Her attention to detail is the stuff of legend in her
studio.“Any design process for one collection usually takes about
three months and means countless rounds of sampling,” Gittoes
details. “There’s an initial research and concept phase, and then
design development and sampling, then we make everything [for]
the finished product.The Tidal collection was actu-
ally the best example of this. It was just one coral
earring and we had 75 different versions of coral,
which were basically the same thing, and we mulled
over 10 different versions. Eventually I had to ask
the team — and it all looked the same to them.
They all thought I was mad. But I just go until it
feels right. I always like to keep trying, keep
changing and keep adapting.”
She applied this strategy to the minimalist, femi-
nine interior of her apartment, which has white
walls and large windows overlooking the beachy
suburb.The clean lines and low-key choices are pure
Gittoes.“I loved growing up by the beach. I grew up
in Wollongong — I’ve been a coastal girl always, and
we chose Coogee because it’s close to work, [has]
the beach and it’s a little more relaxed,” she says.
The apartment is a reverse work in progress, with
Gittoes removing and minimising objects and furni-
ture pieces as she goes. Cupboards are full of orna-
ments and tchotchkes that have been edited out of the
mix. “My style is minimal; I think there’s something
Zen in not having much around,” Gittoes says. “It keeps you calm,
especially when you have a business. I can think clearly when my
space around me is clear. It’s definitely my aesthetic and I think you
can see that in what we design as well; it’s all really pared-back.And
I think it complements the 1930s Art Deco [space] … the juxtapo-
sition of the ornate walls and clean modern furniture I really enjoy.”
The apartment didn’t need many additions. A new wardrobe
and a day bed in the sunroom were about the extent of the trans-
formation.The garage stores the couple’s barrage of diving gear, so
inside the apartment the strict minimalist order can be maintained.
“I really think about purchases. I’m definitely not a spur-of-the-
moment purchaser with homewares,” Gittoes says. “I think about
it and go back and think about it, and then I’ll know. Everything
has to have a place. I’ve had the opposite end of the spectrum,
where I’ve had so much clutter, and I’ve moved a few times, so,
naturally, you shed a few things, and I think I started wanting
things to be pared-back. It just feels better.”
The aesthetic of the brand’s first flagship store, in Paddington,
Sydney, follows the same principles. An unusual space — a dark-
glass box — it’s the definition of a destination store. Designed by
Sydney-based architects Landini Associates, it just won silver in the
Sydney Design Awards. “We tinted the glass to black working on
a concept of a two-way mirror,” Gittoes says.“Robert and I always
try to do something a little unexpected when it comes to design

But there’s one chink in her minimalist armour: Gittoes has a thing
for indoor plants, which means regular Saturdays devoted to repot-

started off buying a couple and thought, These are really nice, but they
seem like they’re all alone. [Plants] bring some colour into the home.
Everything else is quite monotone.” The north-facing, heat-trapping
sunroom is a perfect spot for Gittoes’s cacti, whereas in the living
room she has a favourite fiddle-leaf fig she and Munro got “when it
was a baby” upon moving in together. “Watching it grow … it’s one of
the best-performing plants. I have a green thumb and hadn’t realised.”

THE BIG EASY

Luxury and surfing have not always been easy bedfellows, but Nihi Sumba
in Indonesia nails it, perfecting the art of indulgence in a wild, remote,
not-so-secret surf spot, writes E LIZA O’H ARE

horses and only the rich had cars. Now, every-

Occy’s Left (named after Australian champion surfer Mark
Occhilupo), the most perfect long left-hand wave.
This is a famous break within surf circles. And that’s what’s so
clever about Nihi Sumba: it’s built around a (pretty much) guaran-
teed great surf experience, with considered luxury piled on top so
you get a happy surfer and a really happy surfer’s partner and family.

private white-sand beach. Back at the main site, the cruisey Nio
Beach Club is stocked with tow-out power boats, surf- and paddle-
boards, snorkels and dive equipment, fishing accoutrements and all
manner of other oceanic accessories. This savvy set-up means
shore-lovers can eat, drink, bake and swim in the lap pool or the
soft, foamy ocean mere metres from the surf action, paddling in to
watch the sunset over the sets with an icy Bintang. It’s all so easy,
and a real contrast to the home lives of the moneyed American
surfers who make up many of Nihi’s guests, something that has
helped propel it to world-number-one-hotel status — twice.
The resort stretches along two and a half kilometres of pristine
coastline where jungle and rice paddies meet powdery white
sand. It’s breathtaking — the stuff screen savers are made of.
There’s the inevitable comparison between this purity, serenity

and primal beauty and the nightclub-on-sand stretches of Kuta

and Seminyak on the island just an hour’s flight away: this must be
what Bali was like 40 years ago.
It is not easy to get to Sumba, and most haven’t even heard of it.
The remoteness can be a little overwhelming. A flight to Bali’s
Denpasar normally requires an overnight stay before you connect
with the one-hour domestic flight to Tambolaka on Sumba, where
a 4WD will take you the final one-to-two hours — on sketchy roads
— to the resort. Sumba is still a wild island, with dogs roaming the
highways and scarce clean water and electricity. But it’s worth it.
Nihi’s 33 villas take advantage of the land’s best features. There
are tree houses, beach huts and jungle rooms, each charming in its
own way. All have luxury-safari-style interiors, minibars, plunge
pools with well-placed day beds, gorgeous tropical gardens, over-
sized baths and bird’s-eye views of the surf. There is a fashion
connection here: Nihi is owned by Chris Burch, ex-husband of
Tory Burch, lending a jetsetting glamour to the entire operation.
As it turns out, our visit is during the wet season.This is some-

thing I’ve strived to avoid for all my beach holidays, but we discover
it means pleasantly misty light rains. The sun’s harshness is dulled,
and the light is gentle and low and dreamy. Colours are muted and,
without the midday glare, we quickly descend into a floppy stupor. THIS PAGE: READ McKENDREE. OPPOSITE PAGE: ELIZA O’HARE; TANIASMAGICALTRAVELS.COM
It’s what we need — the wet season forces relaxation. I’m a convert.
Because Sumba is so off-the-beaten-track, there are things here you
just cannot experience anywhere else, and isn’t that the definition of
luxury? Nihi keeps 17 horses in manicured stables by the beach, with
a dedicated team.They’re a mix of horse breeds traded by the Dutch
in exchange for spices, retired racehorses and ponies for pasola, the
daredevil local version of polo in which javelins are employed to fell
opponents. Not everyone survives, and local grievances are played
out.We’re only a couple of weeks away from this year’s event, so antic-
ipation runs high among the stable hands who will compete.
Riding at a clip along the beach is one of the big moments of our
trip. There is some free-spirited cantering along the sand, knee-
high into the surf and up sheer green slopes to ride among a herd
of water buffalo being shepherded home between terraced rice
paddies. Exhilarating.
But our most memorable highlight happens like clockwork every
day:happy hour in the bar,a stiff gin-and-tonic in hand,sand between
our toes, quietly contemplating Occy’s Left. Luxury indeed.

you’re only a 40-minute drive from the heart of Park City.
Nestled at the foot of the snowfields, downtown has a decid-
edly urban feel. The former mining town’s streets are lined
with preserved historical buildings that now house an eclectic
mix of contemporary restaurants, chic shops and boutique
accommodation. Spend a day shopping and keep an eye out
for one of the Banksy pieces dotted around.
There is an understated luxury to Park City. This is a
quieter celebrity hotspot, home to The Colony, perhaps the
most exclusive housing development in any ski resort in the
world, where Will Smith, Justin Bieber and Robert Redford

are said to own or rent houses. My ski instructor, Alex Fleet, who
seems to have had quite a number of celebrity pupils, describes
one of the ski runs, Mystic Pines, as “Hilary Swank’s favourite”.
But unlike other, glitzier, better-known resorts, this is where
celebrities come to ski without being seen.
My first day in Park City is spent skiing CanyonsVillage, where
the wide terrain feels endless once I make it off the magic carpet
with the help of my very patient and very pro instructor. The
landscape is picturesque, and the feeling of zooming along between
quietly reverberating aspens under clear skies is second to none.
Park City Mountain is a little more built-up, until we make our
way up the mountain, where we are greeted by
views to Deer Valley. Lunch options on both
mountains are all-American, ski-lodge style. “My ski instructor,

incline, with a lot of squealing), and we’ve
visited all of the impressive spots for photo
opportunities. I vow never to ski without a private instructor again.
While the days are spent swishing down the mountain, evenings
in Park City are all about relaxed après-ski followed by farm-to-
table dining. For drinks right off the slopes, visit the world’s first
and only ski-in gastro-distillery, High West, for the incredibly
well-executed cocktails and delicious modern-Southern food.The
dining scene in Park City is young yet impressive, with a strong
focus on seasonality and local ingredients, chefs delicately balancing
inventiveness with comfort-food offerings. Make a reservation and
settle in for a night of shared feasting at buzzy Handle.
On our final day, we join Park City Yoga Adventures at nearby
Blue Sky ranch for a gentle guided hike among quiet alpine forest
and across snow-blanketed hills. Our hourlong walk finishes in a
Norwegian-style yurt perched on a mountaintop meadow, where
we are treated to a private yoga session in front of a crackling wood
fire followed by cups of herbal tea.A deeply restorative day off the
slopes and the perfect tonic for ski-tired muscles (and, in our case,
a godsend for a last-night-in-Park-City-induced hangover).
