A snapshot of Verdura Resort

Verdura Resort’s award-winning golf courses have been shown in a glorious new light by a new set of images taken by renowned English photographer and videographer James Hogg.

Hogg, a specialist in drone photography, spent three days on site capturing the resort’s acclaimed Kyle Phillips-designed East and West layouts from a range of new angles, including an array of breathtaking shots taken from high above the Mediterranean.

The recent changes have seen a number of new features added and modifications made to the routing of both courses. The reordering of hole numbers has allowed for the restoration of former favourite holes and brings exciting new additions, while the planting of fescue grasses throughout the courses added definition to the golfing experience.

Serenity in the City

Contrary to popular belief, a sense of wellbeing doesn’t have to follow a set formula. Rather, it’s simply the moments which bring you back to yourself. For some, it’s a morning swim followed by a restorative massage. For others, it’s curling up in a quiet corner with a good book, or a pause beneath a centuries-old fresco in a hushed church. In Europe’s capitals, these precious moments of calm are easier to find than one might expect. Whilst a city break is often imagined as a fast-paced affair, sometimes we discover more when we choose to stand still. 

Wild swimming spots in Edinburgh, Munich and Puglia

There’s a certain clarity that comes from swimming in the open air. Whether in the stillness of a moorland reservoir, the salty waves of a sunlit beach, or a shaded city river, wild swimming reconnects us to something elemental. Close to our hotels, these wild swims lie within easy reach, beautifully unfiltered, yet just far enough to feel like a world apart.
