HONG KONG Hong Kong's Halloween calendar is stacked this year, spanning Y2K rap nostalgia, gothic rooftop raves, a novel-inspired DJ night and a handful of unhinged costume parties in between. Here's where to spend the spookiest night of the year. No Curfew Club Vol. 4: East Coast vs. West Coast On AER's viral late-night series returns with a Halloween edition aimed squarely at clubbers in their 30s who want a big night without the sunrise cab ride home. The four-hour format

HONG KONG Few experiences feel more quintessentially Hong Kong than spending a hot day out on the water. Yacht and junk boat charters are undeniably one of the season's most enduring traditions, and we've collated some of the best charters to power your summer day at sea. Whether you're planning a birthday celebration or looking for a polished option to host your next corporate event, there's no better way to experience Hong Kong's breathtaking coastline than from the deck of

WISKII has spent the past few years building a genuine cult following on the strength of a simple idea: activewear that looks considered enough to wear off the court, not just on it. With the brand's anniversary landing this month, there's plenty to celebrate — a run of signature collections that have defined its identity, a sitewide sale worth planning around, and a high-profile moment with Vogue Singapore. Here's what's on the radar. The Signature Collections WISKII's ident

Going in, I wasn't expecting to be as hooked as I was. Verity, adapted from Colleen Hoover's best-selling psychological thriller, follows struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), who's hired to ghostwrite the remaining instalments of a bestselling series after its author, Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway), is left unable to speak or move following a mysterious car accident. While living in the Crawford family home, Lowen stumbles on Verity's secret, unfinished autobio

On Saturday, 24 October 2026, Midnight Espresso and The Blended Agency are co-hosting Hong Kong's first Y2K-themed junk — a full six hours on the water dedicated to the music, fashion and general chaos of the early 2000s. A Theme You Can Actually Commit To The best parties give people something to do. A dress code does that better than almost anything else, and this one is pleasingly specific. We're talking low-rise jeans, baby tees, cargo trousers, velour tracksuits, metalli

MACAU Galaxy Macau is stacking its calendar for the back half of the year, with a headline-grabbing culinary festival timed to Macau Grand Prix weekend and a running art exhibition already transforming Galaxy Promenade into something closer to a gallery than a mall. Here's what's on the radar. Galaxy Stars of Gastronomy 2026: 24 Michelin Stars, One Weekend Mark the calendar for November 20 and 21, when Galaxy Stars of Gastronomy returns to Galaxy Macau to coincide with the Ma

LONDON There are spas where you go for a treatment, and then there are spas where the entire experience begins the moment you leave the street behind. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair falls firmly into the latter category. Tucked beneath Hanover Square, it feels remarkably removed from the pace of Mayfair above, creating the sort of urban sanctuary that makes you forget you have a phone, a diary and approximately 17 things you should probably be doing. I visited during th

HONG KONG Hong Kong's autumn is a strange, in-between kind of season — the humidity finally breaks, but the air conditioning stays on full blast in every mall, office and MTR carriage, and skin ends up caught between the last of summer's sweat and the first of the season's dryness. YINA, the skincare and wellness brand built on Traditional Chinese Medicine, has built its entire philosophy around exactly this kind of seasonal transition. Its Fall Hydration Edit is worth paying

The shift into autumn always brings the same styling dilemma: it's not quite cold enough to retire the resortwear, but the head-to-toe summer looks need a slightly more grounded update. WISKII's latest drop threads that needle well — pieces built for movement that also happen to transition cleanly from a court session into an actual afternoon out. Here are five we're adding to cart this season. 1. Printed High-Rise Pleated Skirt There's a reason the pleated tennis skirt refus

HONG KONG There's something a little charming about the fact that the world's favourite bitter red drink also happens to power one of the drinks industry's biggest charitable pushes. Negroni Week lands for its 14th edition this year, running globally from September 21 to 27, and Hong Kong and Macau's stretch of it is a genuinely good one — a Bangkok-fronted opening night, a free-flowing Thursday party, a guest shift down in Macao, and a workshop for anyone who'd rather learn

HONG KONG Welcoming a newborn is a moment of joy, and choosing the right gift is a way of showing you care. Hong Kong offers a wide range of baby gifts, from beautifully curated hampers to organic cotton essentials, from practical must-haves to design-led toys. Whether you are visiting a friend who has just given birth or attending a full-moon or 100-day celebration, this guide will help you find the perfect gift. Tips for Choosing a Baby Gift in Hong Kong When shopping for a

HONG KONG Sense of Touch Southside, the oceanfront spa at The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong, is celebrating one year since opening its doors on the Aberdeen coastline with a run of anniversary offers built around the same idea the spa has leaned on since day one: that a proper sea view is as much a part of the treatment as the hands doing the work. A Year on the Southside Coastline Since opening in August 2025 under the stewardship of Sense of Touch — the well-establis

HONG KONG Most lash salons fixate on the same two variables: length and volume. However, what almost nobody talks about is direction — and for a large share of Asian lashes, which grow straight downward rather than out and up, direction is actually the root of the problem. It's why curlers slip by mid-morning, why mascara prints itself onto the eyelid by lunchtime, and why ordinary extensions often just make that downward line longer rather than lifting it. Xtreme Lashes Hong

Key takeaways: Austin Abrams, 30, is an American actor best known for playing Ethan Daley in HBO's Euphoria and Ron Anderson in The Walking Dead. He previously worked with Resident Evil director Zach Cregger on 2025's horror hit Weapons. Abrams has no public social media presence, having called platforms like Instagram a "mental trap."

DA NANG Da Nang's coastline is home to some of Vietnam's most exceptional luxury resorts, each offering a distinct take on the good life.

For those seeking a holiday defined by elegance, relaxation, and impeccable service, these five properties represent the pinnacle of Da Nang's luxury s

I'll say this upfront: I'm not the target audience for a Resident Evil movie. I've never touched the games, and I went in braced for another over-inflated instalment of a franchise that had long since run out of new ideas. What changed my mind was the name in the director's chair. After Weapons and Barbarian, Zach Cregger had already proven he could build dread out of almost nothing; the question was whether that same instinct could survive contact with a billion-dollar video

Key takeaways: Tricia Davis is a former nurse turned tour, merchandise and artist manager for Macklemore LLC, and a music video producer.
