LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM Over the past decade, intravenous therapy (IV therapy) has become one of the fastest-growing wellness trends worldwide, evolving from a clinical treatment into a mainstream luxury reserved for those who demand immediate, visible results from their self-care routines. Unlike taking supplements, IV drips bypass the digestive system entirely, achieving up to 100% bioavailability compared to the 10-20% typically absorbed through oral supplementation. It's a

HONG KONG Years of sun exposure in Hong Kong can lead to freckles, pigmentation and uneven skin tone. M22 IPL at Jolie Beaute in Jordan offers a comfortable, non-invasive way to treat these common concerns. What Is It? The M22 is a medical-grade intense pulsed light device — and not all IPL is created equal. Where older or less sophisticated systems deliver a broad, less controlled burst of light energy, the M22 operates with considerably more precision, emitting multiple wav

HONG KONG All images courtesy of Fox and the Barber. The Pitch Why Fox and the Barber? It really should be Fox the Barber. Once upon a time (well, in 2015), British hairdresser Paul Fox decamped to Hong Kong and founded a classic barbershop inspired by a hazy romantic vision of better days gone by. Think an imperial, Anglo-take on Jazz Age machismo. It’s all very Peaky Blinders – staff are pictured online clutching whisky tumblers and garbed in waistcoats. Scowls and slicked-

HONG KONG Hong Kong has always occupied a unique position in the wellness world — a city where a five-star hotel breakfast can be followed by a TCM consultation and a gua sha treatment before noon. Here's where you can get the best of both. Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong Built into the International Finance Centre in Central, Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong connects directly to ifc mall, Hong Kong Station, and the Airport Express, and houses ten restaurants carrying a combined sev

INTERVIEW In a city where coffee culture has evolved from a morning necessity into a lifestyle obsession, standing out in a crowded market is no easy feat. Yet for Bernice Liu, the founder of Qi Concepts, the opportunity wasn't about creating another coffee brand — it was about rethinking what ready-to-drink coffee could be. Frustrated by canned coffees laden with sugars, preservatives and hard-to-pronounce ingredients, she set out to create a cleaner alternative built around

There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with living in Hong Kong. It is not just the long hours or the humidity – it is the relentless hum of the city, the way your shoulders creep toward your ears without you noticing, the vague sense that your qi (if you believe in that sort of thing) is a little topsy turvy. I arrived at the Four Seasons Hong Kong spa feeling a little under the weather. Not unwell enough to cancel, but decidedly off. Stuffy. Foggy. The kind of

HONG KONG There is a woman you probably know. She is capable and composed. She shows up. She makes plans, sends voice notes, and takes care of the people around her. And behind a closed door — one you have never been through — something is happening that she has not yet found the words for. Or perhaps she has the words, but not the belief that anyone will listen. This is not a rare story. According to data, around one in four women are affected by domestic abuse. Not one in a

HONG KONG In the lead-up to Mother’s Day, All About You Centre is hosting a reflective, women-focused workshop that explores one of the most formative relationships in a person’s life: the bond with their mother. Titled Healing Our Maternal Blueprint, the session will be led by Sonia Samtani, a clinical hypnotherapist known for her work in emotional wellness and subconscious healing and the founder of All About You wellness centre. Taking place on May 9, 2026, the day before

TEGERNSEE There is a specific kind of silence that exists only within the walls of a Lanserhof property - a hush so profound it seems to vibrate. Whether it is the salt-misted dunes of Sylt or the original, intimate mountain refuge in Lans , the sensation is the same: you aren't merely checking into a clinic; you are surrendering to a high-tech monastery for the modern soul. However, it is at Lanserhof Tegernsee , nestled in the Bavarian Alps, where this philosophy finds its

HONG KONG In a city where wellness often leans heavily on high-tech diagnostics and trendy treatments, Upper House Hong Kong is taking a refreshingly holistic turn.

INTERVIEW In a city where apartments are compact, schedules are relentless, and sleep often takes a backseat, Alex Ma saw an opportunity to do more than just sell mattresses — he wanted to transform how Hongkongers rest. The co-founder of Skyler , a homegrown sleep-wellness brand, recalls a seemingly ordinary trip to buy a mattress in 2015 that sparked a revelation: quality sleep shouldn’t come at a sky-high price, nor should it be a logistical headache in Hong Kong’s dense u

Luxury skincare brand Augustinus Bader is set to expand its cult blue-bottle universe with the upcoming launch of The Vitamin C Serum , a high-performance formula powered by the brand’s next-generation Advanced TFC8® technology .

These are the addresses that fashion insiders, beauty editors, and well-heeled regulars return to time and again — where technique meets taste, and indulgence is always the point.

HONG KONG There’s a particular kind of pressure that comes with a guest room. You want it to feel generous without trying too hard; comforting, but not anonymous. Rather than assembling pieces piecemeal, we approached the room the way one might plan a wardrobe — starting with foundations, then layering. Skyler became our hero, offering a bedding system that felt considered rather than overdesigned. What follows is how the room came together — piece by piece — and why it now

HONG KONG There’s a certain pleasure in booking a winter hair refresh in Hong Kong. Unlike the summer months — when humidity hits and risks ruining any good blowout — winter in the city is unexpectedly kind. The air is crisp, the temperatures sit comfortably around 20 degrees, and for a brief, magical stretch, frizz loosens its grip. Hair behaves. And so, at the start of the cool season, I made my way to TONI&GUY Hong Kong on Wyndham Street for a much-needed reset. TONI&GUY
