The Selection
The Pure Voyage Edit
A selection of houses, journeys, places and ideas that have recently occupied us.
What this is
Not a news feed. A selection.
A great deal is written about considered hotels, and most of it is announcement. We work the other way round: we write once we have a view — and once that view helps someone make a decision.
Each edition gathers five to ten entries. Every one of them answers three things: what it is, why it matters and whom it suits.
The Pure Voyage Edit appears monthly to every six weeks. When a month yields little, no edition appears.
Current edition — No. 03
The Late Summer
Seven observations from a month in which southern Europe empties and autumn becomes plannable.
The Return List
Aman Venice
Twenty-four rooms in a Grand Canal palazzo, with a garden that has few equals in this city. We return regularly because the house has grown quieter rather than louder in recent years.
Hotels We Are Watching
Four Seasons Mallorca at Formentor

Emerging Destinations
Paros

The Edit — The Newsletter
Once a month, when there is something worth saying
The Edit is our newsletter. It arrives monthly and carries what has actually occupied us: a house that convinced us, a journey that was worth the time, a place in its right season, and a recommendation we currently give often.
No offers, no discounts, no announcements for their own sake. If a month yields little, no edition appears.
- New houses we have taken on
- Journeys we are currently talking about
- Destinations at their best
- One recommendation from our advisory work
