šŸ’Ž Red Sea’s Raffles Jeddah Makes Luxury Comfortable

Teased at the Ultra 2026 gathering in Dubai, the Red Sea flagship leans into Saudi Arabia’s new tourism era with interiors that celebrate Hejazi craftsmanship, coral-inspired details, & artworks from regional creatives, all framed by soft tones that mirror local horizons.

Key Takeaways:

  • šŸŒ Ultra Luxury With a Sense of Place: Raffles Jeddah targets ā€œuber‑luxeā€ guests who want depth, not copy‑paste five‑star hardware.

  • šŸ›ļø Hejazi Craft at the Core: Mashrabiya patterns, coral motifs, and horizon‑inspired palettes give the hotel ā€œJeddah’sā€ identity.

  • šŸ–¼ļø Brand Elegance, Local Soul: Regional artworks and Red Sea views are layered onto classic Raffles polish so the property feels embedded.

  • šŸ¤ Hospitality as Narrative: The ambition is a destination that feels beautifully connected to its natural surroundings, not just a place to sleep.

šŸ’¼ Gucci’s Borsetto Nails Heritage and Modern Ease

Gucci’s new Borsetto bag shows how a house icon can be reworked without losing its soul, pairing the historic Horsebit with a relaxed, contemporary Boston silhouette that’s built to move from day to night - focusing on legacy, hardware, and proportions.

Key Takeaways:

  • šŸŽ Heritage, Reimagined: The Borsetto fuses Gucci’s 1940s Horsebit emblem with a softer Boston silhouette to keep legacy center.​

  • 🧳 Form With Function: An elongated handle, detachable strap, and two sizes lets the bag move cleanly without losing elegance.​

  • 🧵 Materials With Memory: Suede, smooth leather, and Gucci canvas in warm tones, picked to age with character for a mature feel.

  • šŸ•°ļø Modern but Timeless: By relaxing the structure around a signature hardware story, the Borsetto feels like an elegant classic timepiece.

🌿 Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape Redefines Immersion

CondĆ© Nast Traveler’s Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, swaps walls and doors for open‑air balĆ©s that drop you straight into central Bali’s jungle while still delivering private pools, copper tubs, and quietly high-end comfort, built as Banyan Tree’s rootsier Escape.

Key Takeaways:

  • šŸŒ‹ Immersion, Not Just a View: ā€œNo walls, no doorsā€ balĆ©s, valley‑facing pools, open pavilions make the scene a part of your room.

  • 🌾 Village-Rooted Luxury: Research into village life underpins everything from reclaimed ironwood architecture, to blessing ceremonies.

  • 🄄 Hyper-Local, Plant-Forward Table: Buahan-born Chef Eka turns nearby farm harvests and jungle produce into mostly vegetarian menus.

  • šŸ’† Wellness in the Wild: Toja Spa’s open bamboo pavilions above the Ayung, waterfall meditations, and traditional pijat rituals in Banyan.

One last thing

The most interesting luxury right now sees richness beyond than material, letting people craft artworks, better proportions, and landscapes prove riches instead of noisy logos.

When you start noticing details like comfy amenities, a sleek chic bag, or a tropical spa pavilion hanging over a river, loud status symbol begins feeling performative, than real.
