If you'd rather leave the planning to someone else, the concierge can arrange a curated couples' itinerary. It includes everything from aqua workouts and cultural experiences like tie-dye, rice planting and candle making, to wellness rituals such as revitalising baths, Thai herbal compresses or a traditional herbal steam.

History, elegance and romance come together at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, a stunning Italian villa perched on the edge of
Lake Como . A favourite of high society for over a century, this iconic hotel invites you to live like modern-day aristocrats as you wander its opulent grounds hand in hand. Lounge by one of the swimming pools – including one that floats on the lake – book a couple's treatment at the spa, or challenge each other to a match on the tennis courts.

Feeling adventurous? Take a self-drive boat across the lake, sip your way through the vineyards of Valtellina, or master the art of pizza-making by tossing dough like a true pizzaiolo. It's little wonder this jewel of Como draws celebrities: locals
George and Amal Clooney have been known to drop by, as have famous former flames
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.

Even White Lotus effect not much help for Thai tourism hit by ‘bad news' events
Thailand 's tourism outlook is in such doldrums that even the so-called The White Lotus effect – a temporary boost in Western visitors inspired by the latest Koh Samui-set season of HBO's hit show – has not been enough to offset a slump in arrivals from neighbouring countries. Foreign arrivals to Thailand dropped for the fourth straight month in May, slipping 14 per cent to 2.6 million, government data showed. That is the country's longest streak of declines since 2021, when the Covid-19 pandemic closed international borders. The biggest drop came from travellers from other Asian countries, whose citizens make up the vast majority of tourists to Thailand. Regional arrivals fell nearly 11 per cent this year through May, compared to the same period in 2024. Visits by Chinese tourists, who make up the largest group by nationality, have plummeted – nearly 1 million fewer arrivals so far this year versus 2024. The plunge heading into the summer holiday period and beyond is causing consternation in Thailand, where tourism makes up about 12 per cent of gross domestic product. It is being fuelled by lingering concerns about safety, with fears about the growing presence of scam centres around the Myanmar border spooking visitors from China. Thailand has also in recent months contended with an earthquake that beamed images of a destroyed Bangkok skyscraper around the world, the rising popularity of Japan and China as regional tourism destinations and a strong baht that has made it less of a value destination. 'We have lost a lot of tourists to other competing countries in Asia because we didn't tackle the negative images seriously,' said Ratchaporn Poolsawadee, vice-president of the Tourism Council of Thailand. 'Thailand's tourism is resilient, but this may take months to rebound.'
