A lifestyle e-zine is looking for wellness, unconventional luxury, and chic escapes (NYC, Europe, Caribbean).

Looking for:

1. Wellness Journeys & Rejuvenating Retreats:

• Beyond the Juice Cleanse: Think holistic experiences, mindfulness, sleep optimisation, digital detoxes, and unique spa offerings.
• Nature-Immersive Wellness: Resorts or hotels that integrate their natural surroundings into their wellness programs.
• Mind-Body Connection: Yoga and meditation retreats, ancestral healing practices, or properties offering unique therapeutic treatments.

2. Destinations You Might Not Think Of (luxury & boutique edition):

• Europe's Hidden Gems: Beyond the usual suspects - think lesser-known coastal towns, mountain escapes, or culturally rich regions that offer a sophisticated, intimate experience (e.g., specific areas of Portugal, Italian countryside, Balkan coastlines, Nordic hideaways).
• Caribbean's Secluded Sanctuaries: Boutique properties on quieter islands, private villa experiences, or resorts prioritising authentic local engagement and privacy.
• NYC's Unexpected Escapes: Urban oases, unique staycation packages in boutique hotels offering wellness amenities, or city experiences that feel like a true retreat from the bustle.

3. Luxury Getaways & Boutique Boltholes (across the spectrum):

• Iconic Luxury: Properties renowned for their impeccable service, design, and exclusive amenities in NYC, Europe, and the Caribbean.
• Boutique Charm: Smaller, design-driven hotels with unique character, personalised service, and a strong sense of place, whether it's a city town house or a beachfront hideaway.
• Staycation Elevated: For its New York audience, the e-zine is interested in sophisticated local experiences that offer a true sense of escape without leaving the city, from five-star pampering to unique neighbourhood explorations.
• "Basic" Done Beautifully: Even for the more accessible options, the e-zine seeks out places that offer exceptional value, stylish design, and a memorable experience that feels elevated beyond its price point.
