The tourist office in Levi, a popular Nordic skiing destination and viewing point for the Northern Lights, has hidden a gold bar worth €20,000 somewhere among the area’s local trails, service venues, and landmarks.

Coinciding with the season of the midnight sun in Lapland, from 18 June 2026 until 22 August (or until the gold bar is found), a trail of clues will be gradually revealed by the destination manager as part of a “Midnight Sun Hunt,” allowing guests in the region to hunt the treasure. And if they find it, no matter how many clues they solved in order to do so, it’s theirs.

While not everyone can come away from their Lapland adventure with their very own gold bar, the idea is that everyone who visits the region will be a winner, having discovered some sort of gold of their own. ”Levi is known above all for its winter, but the northern summer is still undiscovered by many,” Satu Pesonen, the CEO of Visit Levi, said. “We want to give travellers a new reason to visit Levi when the sun never sets, and the fell landscape reveals a completely different side of itself.”

At the time of writing, the Levi Midnight Sun Hunt website is counting down the days and hours to the first clue reveal, while a social media campaign backed by an atmospheric, ancestral score portrays northern summer outdoor pursuits such as canoeing and walking, set against radiant 24-hour daylight and pristine local forest landscapes. “Read the land, until it gives up its secrets,” a slogan urges.

The goldrush concept is a joint venture by Visit Levi, Agnico Eagle Mining Company, and Levi Ski Resort. However, the organisers are keen to emphasise that participants in the hunt should not dig or disturb any terrain and must stick to exploring permitted zones only, respecting the natural environment. “The hunt has been designed to encourage responsible exploration of the area while showcasing the unique character of the Arctic summer,” the official website says.

Named Outdoor Destination of the Year 2025 at the Scandinavian Outdoor Award Travel at ITB Berlin last March, Finnish Lapland is set to receive a boost to its connectivity by the end of 2026, thanks to five new direct European routes operated by AirBaltic to and from the region.

The resort is located on Shura Island, one of the central islands within The Red Sea Project. This large-scale destination is designed as a collection of islands focused on luxury tourism and nature experiences. It already includes several open hotels, with more developments planned in the coming years. Shura Island itself is expected to host multiple resorts, a marina, and leisure facilities, making it a key hub in the wider project.

The new Four Seasons property is positioned on the eastern tip of the island, surrounded by sea on three sides. The layout is designed to offer privacy and direct access to the coastline. The resort includes 149 rooms and suites, along with 31 residences. All units are designed with sliding glass walls that open fully to the outdoors, creating a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The architecture is inspired by desert trade caravans, with accommodation clusters spread across the landscape in a low-density design.

The resort focuses on relaxation, comfort, and family-friendly experiences. Guests can choose between three swimming pools, including one for families, one for adults, and a lap pool located at the spa. The wellness area includes a traditional hammam, hydrotherapy facilities, and treatment rooms inspired by natural elements such as salt and water. Dining is spread across several restaurants, including plant-forward dishes at Sea Green, Levantine cuisine at Al Forn, and Italian-inspired meals at Spiaggia.

The destination also places strong emphasis on activities and exploration. Guests staying at the resort can now take part in scuba diving excursions in the Red Sea, which is known for its coral reefs and rich marine life. Other options include catamaran sailing, water sports, and guided desert adventures such as electric quad biking. Private beach dinners are also available, offering a more intimate experience by the sea.

Sustainability is a key part of the resort’s concept and operations. The property is powered entirely by renewable energy and uses systems designed to reduce water and waste impact. This approach is part of the broader regenerative tourism model used by Red Sea Global. The goal is not only to reduce environmental harm but also to support long-term ecosystem protection in the region. This aligns with wider national tourism strategies linked to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Accessibility to the destination has also been expanded to support growing demand. Travellers can reach Red Sea International Airport with direct flights from cities such as Milan, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha, and Dubai. The airport is located around a 25-minute drive from Shura Island, making access relatively smooth for an island destination. The wider Red Sea area currently has multiple hotels already open, with additional resorts planned to launch in the coming months.

The Cal Neva Resort near Lake Tahoe has been attracting visitors ever since it first opened in 1926. However, its real heydays took place in the 1960s. Not only was the resort partly owned by Frank Sinatra at the time, but it was also a real celebrity hotspot.

A post shared by Dead Motels USA (@deadmotelsusa)

Amongst those who frequently visited Cal Neva were Dean Martin, John F. Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe. Allegedly, Monroe even spent the last few weeks of her life at the resort.

At that time, one of the unique features of the resort was its showroom, engineered in such a way that performers were able to see every face in the audience. Moreover, a network of private tunnels allowed guests to move throughout the resort while staying discreet.

A lot has changed for Cal Neva since the 1960s, and in 2013, the hotel closed down for a massive renovation. However, the resort never reopened, and instead, it changed hands a few times. In April 2023, a real estate firm then called McWhinney and now known as Realberry, purchased the resort for approximately $52 million.

At the beginning of April 2026, Realberry announced it had been able to secur $298 million in order to restore the Cal Neva Resort. Realberry and Proper Hospitality will join forces for the venture and should open the Lake Tahoe Proper Resort and Casino by the end of 2027. 

“Cal Neva is one of the most storied hospitality properties in the West, and we feel a deep responsibility to get the execution right with Lake Tahoe Proper. Our focus has been on rigorous restoration, and this financing milestone allows us to continue to thoughtfully reestablish this asset as a premier hospitality destination in Lake Tahoe, balancing preservation and long-term stewardship,” Chad McWhinney, CEO of Realberry, stated in a press release.

Opening scheduled for 2027

The former Cal Neva Resort will thus be celebrating its 101^st anniversary in style with an entire makeover. The project includes 197 guest rooms, suites, and private villas, as well as a selection of restaurants and bars. The iconic Circle Bar will be at the heart of the project, while the on-site event spaces and 225-seat theatre and casino will get a revamp. Two outdoor pool spaces and a spa will complete the resort.

“Cal Neva is an American icon, and we wanted to bring it back the right way. What we’re building is rooted in Tahoe, with a focus on design, wellness, and being in nature. At the same time, we’re bringing music and culture back to the stage Frank Sinatra once played. It’s a place to reset, but also to be part of something,” Brad Korzen, co-founder and CEO of Proper Hospitality, told PEOPLE in a statement.

According to Realberry and Proper Hospitality, the project should respect the historic character of the hotel while boosting the Lake Tahoe tourism and economy.

The transformation will include redesigned guestrooms, updated public areas, and a new arrival experience for guests. One of the main changes is the expansion of the Voyager 47 Club Lounge, which will become three times larger than before. The new rooms are expected to be ready by the third quarter of 2026, while the rest of the project will be completed later. The redesign will also improve how guests move through the hotel, creating more open spaces that connect directly to the ocean.

The location of the resort is especially important, as Waikīkī is known as the birthplace of modern surfing. This is where Duke Kahanamoku, often called the father of modern surfing, helped introduce the sport to the world. The renovation takes this history into account by including cultural and natural references in its design. For example, the project highlights the historic ʻĀpuakēhau Stream, which once flowed through the area and shaped the landscape. The concept of “barefoot luxury” is also central, meaning a relaxed form of comfort that focuses on nature, culture, and simplicity rather than formal luxury.

Local culture plays an important role in the redesign, with Hawaiian artists and cultural experts involved in the project. The design is inspired by the land, the ocean, and the traditions of the area, rather than following a generic hotel style. Materials, patterns, and layouts are chosen to reflect the history of the place and its people. This approach is becoming more common in tourism, as travellers increasingly look for authentic experiences. By working with local partners, the resort aims to create a space that feels connected to its surroundings.

Even with these changes, some of the resort’s most popular features will remain the same. Well-known venues such as Duke’s Waikīkī, Hula Grill, and Blue Note Hawaiʻi will continue to welcome guests. Places that are known for live music, food, and a relaxed atmosphere that reflects island life. They are also popular with both visitors and local residents, which helps maintain a sense of community.

Hawaiʻi continues to attract millions of visitors each year, many of whom come for ocean activities and natural beauty. The islands are famous for their beaches, coral reefs, and water sports such as snorkelling and surfing. In places like Waikīkī, visitors can easily access the ocean and take part in these activities. This strong connection to nature is one of the main reasons why tourism remains important in the region. The renovation reflects a broader trend where hotels focus more on experiences rather than just accommodation.

The resort will remain open during the renovation, allowing guests to continue staying there while work is ongoing. This means visitors may see parts of the transformation happening in real time, which is unusual for a project of this size. The hotel will continue to operate its main services and welcome guests throughout the process. With the first new rooms expected in 2026, the project will gradually reveal its changes over time. The investment shows how the resort is adapting to new expectations while staying connected to its past.

The newly opened property, located above Laginha Beach in the port city of Mindelo on São Vicente island, represents Marriott’s first hotel in Cape Verde and its 500^th select service hotel in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa). It also marks the debut of the Four Points by Sheraton resort brand in Africa. 

The 127-room resort is positioned within a crescent-shaped bay in one of Cape Verde’s cultural hubs, known for its vibrant music scene and annual carnival celebrations. The hotel blends modern design with local influences, incorporating wooden furnishings, patterned cement tiles and decorative elements inspired by the island’s architecture and artistic heritage. 

“Cape Verde is known for its vibrant spirit, natural beauty and growing global appeal, making it an exciting addition to our network of global destinations,” said Sandra Schulze-Potgieter, Vice President, Premium, Select & Midscale Brand Management, EMEA at Marriott International. “São Vicente is the ideal destination for us to introduce Four Points by Sheraton’s first resort in the region, offering an authentic sense of place paired with breathtaking vistas along with the brand’s genuine service, comfort and modern style.” 

The resort features a curated art collection that includes works by artist Raya Salman and photographer Joe Wuerfel, whose images capture the soul of Cape Verde. The hotel also presents select pieces by Cape Verdean artists, reinforcing a strong connection to local creative expression.

The property offers a mix of leisure and business facilities, including an infinity-edge pool, spa, fitness centre and conference spaces with meeting rooms and event areas. Dining options include an all-day restaurant, a poolside lounge and a rooftop bar, while a skybridge provides direct access to the beach. 

Schulze-Potgieter added that the opening reflects increasing demand for modern and consistent hospitality offerings across emerging destinations. The company’s select service segment now accounts for more than 30 percent of its EMEA portfolio, underlining the strategic importance of such developments.

The launch is also seen as a sign of growing international interest in Cape Verde as a tourism destination. The archipelago has gained attention in recent years for its natural landscapes, cultural richness and expanding infrastructure, attracting both leisure travellers and business visitors. 

With its entry into Cape Verde, Marriott continues to strengthen its footprint in Africa, positioning the new São Vicente resort as a gateway for further growth in the region.

The helipad is part of a range of innovative amenities planned for Rosewood Exuma, which is set to open in late 2028 on East Sampson Cay. The resort will feature an on-site farm and 33 private bungalows spread across a 124-acre island, framed by stretches of pink and white sand beaches, with 20,000 square feet of the land preserved as a natural sanctuary. Sustainability initiatives include native landscaping, renewable energy sources, and plans for LEED certification, underscoring Yntegra Group’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

Additional features include a floating padel court made from recycled steel and powered by wind and solar energy, as well as a 13-meter superyacht-inspired Limousine Tender designed by British builder Cockwells.

Felipe MacLean, CEO of Yntegra Group, commented: “We are unwavering in our pursuit to craft experiences that are as visionary as they are memorable. Our Floating Helipad ensures that the arrival experience is as unforgettable as the destination itself, inviting guests to immerse in a horizon-to-horizon escape of unrivaled adventure and pristine natural beauty of East Sampson Cay”.

Renowned for their stunning landscapes, the Exumas are a group of over 300 cays in the Bahamas, southeast of Nassau. The area is known for its crystal-clear waters and unique marine attractions, including Thunderball Grotto, the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay, tidal whirlpools near Staniel Cay, and mesmerising sandbars that appear at low tide.

The introduction of the floating helipad and other innovative features at Rosewood Exuma underscores a broader trend in luxury hospitality, where infrastructure and mobility are leveraged to enhance guest experience and exclusivity.

Unlike a beach holiday, where swimwear and flip-flops may suffice, ski trips require specialist clothing, lift passes, equipment hire, and often lessons too. Add baggage fees for travelling with your own gear, and the total cost can quickly rise beyond the price of flights and accommodation alone.

However, easyJet’s latest Cheap Ski Index suggests this need not be the case. Designed to help travellers tailor their winter break to their budget, the index comes as fresh snowfall across Europe puts ski getaways firmly back on the agenda, according to Kevin Doyle, easyJet UK general manager.

A post shared by Bansko Ski Resort (@bansko.official)

The UK-centric index assesses the best-value ski resorts reachable from the UK, using live pricing data from the 2024–25 and 2025/26 winter seasons. Each resort is ranked based on the combined cost of a one-day lift pass, one-day ski hire, one-night mid-range accommodation, airport transport, and even the price of a beer.

Doyle further explains that the index aims to highlight resorts where “equipment hire, hotels and hospitality offer fantastic value,” particularly for those willing to look beyond traditional Alpine favourites.

The top three may come as a surprise to travellers who are less familiar with Eastern European or Balkan ski destinations. Bulgaria dominates the ranking, taking first and third place, with Poland in second place.

First Place: Bansko, Bulgaria – the king of value, where beers sell for just £1 (€1.15). Located two hours from Sofia, the resort offers ski hire from around £15 (€17.30) a day and accommodation from approximately £45 (€52) per night. 

Second Place: Białka Tatrzańska – a rising star situated around two hours south of Kraków. The resort is particularly well-suited to families and beginners, combining affordability with accessible terrain.

Third Place: Borovets, Bulgaria – the country’s oldest ski resort. With 58 kilometres of slopes and the option of night skiing, it remains a favourite with intermediate skiers seeking good value for money and keen to maximise their time on the slopes.

Although Eastern Europe leads on prices, classic destinations such as Italy, France, and Spain can still be affordable.

Italy remains the “best value for money’ option in Western Europe, with the fourth, sixth, and seventh spots. Set in the mid-range of the Alps, Bardonecchia and Sestriere hosted events during the 2006 Winter Olympics and offer Olympic-grade slopes without the “Olympic” price tag. In the high Alps, they promise atmosphere and an Olympic feel, with slopes that have hosted events.

Sauze d’Oulx is in sixth place and is part of Italy’s Via Lattea, renowned for its après-ski atmosphere fuelled by Aperol Spritz.

France ranks ninth and tenth with Les Deux Alpes, a long-time family favourite, and Morzine in the northern Alps. This proves that even the popular northern Alps can be accessible if you plan correctly and in advance.

Elsewhere, Pal Arinsal stands out as a gem in Andorra, ranking fifth. Easily reached from Barcelona or Toulouse, it appeals to skiers looking to swap fondue and Fendant for tapas-style après-ski following a day on its red runs, which are suited to confident intermediates.

Spain’s presence in eighth place with La Molina may surprise many, but it is an excellent spot for beginners and intermediates, offering a relaxed, sun-soaked environment.

Since the publication of J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter book in 1997, the magical world has conquered many a heart across the world. Over the years, the original universe has been expanded many a time, through movies but also in other ways, such as the Fantastic Beast films, a West End show, and multiple video games.

All those aside, the collaboration between Harry Potter and LEGO has been going on since 2001. While new sets are being released every now and then, others have completely sold out and have even turned into collector’s items.

According to a press release on the official Harry Potter website, fans will get to experience the wizarding world like never before. The land will be packed full of iconic characters, locations, and new adventures to perfectly capture the magic of the stories. The hotel is set to be decorated in the colours of the four different Hogwarts houses, thus expanding the experience. And rumour has it, there will even be Hog’s Head Brew to enjoy at the bar.

“We are always looking for new ways for the millions of Harry Potter fans around the world to extend the magic and further connect with the iconic films. This new destination will allow fans to step into the familiar LEGO Harry Potter aesthetic they have been constructing for years and physically experience the wizarding world like never before,” said Peter van Roden, EVP of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.

While an opening date or further details about the future Harry Potter land have not yet been unveiled, news about the collaboration between Legoland and Harry Potter is expected within the coming 12 months.

Designed as a “signature retreat of individuality and immersion”, the resort is surrounded by coral gardens and turquoise lagoons. The villas range from approximately 220 m² to more than 1,250 m², each with a private infinity pool and interiors inspired by maritime heritage. Accommodation options include Island Villas with beach access, Overwater Villas above calm lagoons, Two-Bedroom Ocean Villas for families or groups, and the three-bedroom Halcyon Grand Estate, featuring a rooftop terrace and direct lagoon entry.

“From its exquisite design language to its intuitive service, every detail invites guests to slow down and engage meaningfully within the destination. It is a celebration of authenticity wrapped in refined elegance and thoughtful design,” said Gautam Bhandari, Senior Vice President, Hotel Development & Operations for Singapore & Maldives, Marriott International.

For each guest at the resort, service includes a personal “Halcyon Butler”, who arranges tailored itineraries from sunrise yoga and stargazing to marine excursions like private diving, snorkelling, and traditional line fishing. “Whether arranging an uncharted island exploration, a rare bottle of wine, or a private poolside candlelit dinner, the butler ensures every request is graceful, intuitive, and a reflection of the resort’s dedication to craft,” the release noted.

Culinary offerings include the all-day venue Thari with island-inspired and international cuisine, a fusion restaurant Yuzu featuring Peruvian-Japanese dishes, an open-air grill, The Firepit, plus the Yapa Sunset Bar serving cocktails, tapas and sashimi, and Bell Bar, inspired by explorer heritage, featuring signature cocktails and rare spirits. 

Bespoke private dining experiences are also available — from in-villa candlelit dinners with multi-course menus and beachfront settings paired with fine wine to overwater pavilions serving food just in time for the sunset, and even sandbank champagne dining reached by private boat featuring chef-grilled cuisine.

Beyond accommodation and dining, the resort focuses on immersive experiences and wellness. Its architecture reflects the natural beauty of the Maldives, with timber accents, organic textures, and open layouts that seamlessly connect indoor spaces with the surrounding ocean. Guests can enjoy a full-service spa, sunrise yoga, and sound therapy, or arrange full-day and multi-day wellness programs designed with personalised nutrition, movement, and sleep optimisation. 

Additional activities include guided reef explorations with a resident marine biologist, coral planting, fishing trips aboard a traditional Dhoni, and a range of water sports. The resort also offers supervised children’s programmes featuring marine biology workshops and eco-focused beach games, reinforcing its wellness and family-friendly appeal.

The resort is now bookable via the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty programme and marks the first Autograph Collection property in the Maldives. For point-based stays, the rate begins from approximately 112,000 points per night in a beach-pool villa, with paid nightly rates starting around US$1,115 (€967), excluding the additional seaplane transfer fee, which is priced at US$1,090 (€945) per person round-trip from Malé. 

With its emphasis on spacious private retreats, immersive experiences and tailored service, the resort sets a benchmark for travellers seeking seclusion and sophisticated island escapes.

The development will add a controversial fourth tower to the Marina Bay district’s highly recognisable skyline – a series of three existing towers topped and joined up by a skybridge that resembles a huge surfboard. The whole looks like a giant cricket wicket. Locals have already complained that adding a fourth tower will ruin the vista.

But the new block is supposed not to interfere with that set up, standing apart so as not to be “just more of the same,” the architect has said. Whether or not it is welcome or out-of-place, it will add a 55-storey hotel with 570 suites, offering views of the bay and the Singapore Strait. There will also be a 15,000-seat arena for performances and large-scale events, retail and dining spaces, and wellness and spa facilities – including a rooftop garden and infinity-edge pools.

The studio behind the design is Safdie Architects, which was responsible for the neighbouring Marina Bay Sands project. Plans include two curved wings rising to look out across Singapore’s skyline. The so-called “Skyloop” will possess overlapping elliptical volumes spiralling outward, providing 360-degree views and over 7,000m² of public and private areas for guests. The boat-like structure is intended to look like part of the same family as its predecessor.

For a destination that markets itself as a “City in Nature”, sustainability is high on the agenda. Accordingly, the design is said to be inspired by the city-state’s greenery and will have biophilic elements incorporated.

Private terraces will host gardens, and native tree species will be planted throughout the resort. A self-shading façade and high-performance glazing promise to reduce solar heat transfer and improve energy efficiency, while construction materials such as recycled steel will help to keep the carbon footprint low. Waste management processes will divert three-quarters of the building waste from landfills.

Micro-mobility and connectivity is also a key part of the plan. A direct link to Bayfront MRT station and “seamless” pedestrian access will take guests to neighboring attractions, including the new arena and Gardens by the Bay – an urban park spanning 105 hectares.

As well as the cultural impact of the resort, press materials emphasise the economic and employment opportunities it will generate through direct and indirect job creation, as well as the business support for city enterprises, pointing out that 92% of the Marina Bay Sands procurement programme went to local firms.

Singapore hit record tourist numbers in 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic but has not fully recovered from the effect of lockdown restrictions. Nonetheless, in 2024, it welcomed 16.5 million international tourists – around three times the city’s resident population.
