Fridae

 

This week the Phuket Loves You club (PLU) have launched Phuket Pride week 2014

Le Méridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa is offering the unique chance to win a luxury wedding in their staggeringly beautiful Ocean Pier. If you're not quite ready to set a date for the big day, there's some great romance and relax packages also on offer.

When you visit a city as vibrant, creative and photogenic as Barcelona, you’d want your accommodation digs to be the same. Fridae checks out the flagship property of Generator Hostels, Europe’s fastest growing hostel brand.

Set on the edge of an isolated white-sand beach overlooking Vinh Hy Bay, about a one hour flight north-east of Ho Chi Minh City, Amano'i – a portmanteau of Sanskrit and Vietnamese for 'peaceful place' – more than lives up to its moniker.

The Mandarin Oriental is located on the banks of the Huangpu River in the new Harbour City district, a mixed-used development on the site of the city's old docklands.

Fukuoka-based architect Koichi Futatsumata and chef Daishi Yuen have set up a restaurant that not only visually complements the magnificent natural surroundings of Teshima island, but also highlights the local fare.

This hotel is conveniently located in Wan Chai, formerly a prosperous fishing village and now one of Hong Kong's busiest business and entertainment neighbourhoods.

Large, stacked concrete 'pipes' not only provide a striking update to the Art Deco façade but also create a series of cosy spaces within.

Shanghai architect-designers Neri & Hu have meticulously renovated a three-storey, colonial-style former police station, preserving the original red brickwork and salvaged signage, to house Design Republic Commune, a new creative hub in the central Jing'an district.
