EDITOR'S LETTER:

Firstly, hello 2021! With a New Year rolling in, we turn our attentions to new goals, dreams, horizons and hope. And never have these things been more pertinent than now. While Covid-19 didn’t magically disappear as the clock struck midnight on December 31, January has given us all the mental fresh start we all so longed for. If, like us, your mind, body and soul feel a little bruised after our last year, our Handle With Care feature, which is packed with hi-tech and personalized treatments at the world’s best spas, should help you rest and recalibrate. Health is wealth, after all…

While we can’t ignore the ever-changing flight restrictions and borders that remain in a state of flux, we must never lose sight of our love of travel. And it is our job, at DOTW News, to provide you with the most breathtaking and awe-inspiring travel intelligence so you can escape, through us, to places dreams are made of.

And so, from island-hopping around the Caribbean and alpine adventures and Glühwein in Gstaad, to seeking peace of mind in Marrakech, I hope this Meaningful Travel issue will provide you with some pure, unadulterated wanderlust. Enjoy at your leisure…
