Tuscany, Italy
Think rolling vineyards, olive groves, rustic villas, and world-class wine. Tuscany's charm weaves old-world romance with modern elegance: exchange vows in medieval castles or alfresco among cypress-lined paths.
Candlelit dinners and farm-to-table feasts make each moment unforgettable.

Paris, France
The City of Love needs no introduction. Supreme backdrops like the Eiffel Tower, Musée Rodin gardens, and historic chapels infuse every frame with romance. Opt for candlelit dinners in grand salons and strolls along the Seine – a swoon-worthy classic.

Sun-kissed beaches, cascading waterfalls, and lush valleys create diverse backdrops. Opt for barefoot ceremonies on sandy shores, garden parties beneath tropical blooms, or intimate gatherings at cliffside estates.
Maui blends aloha spirit with elemental beauty.

For couples seeking isolation with jaw-dropping views, Jade Mountain on St. Lucia, known as the Amalfi Coast's Caribbean twin, offers private infinity pools set against twin peaks and ocean vistas. Limited to intimate parties, its sanctuaries break the mold of cookie-cutter resorts – intimate, immersive, extraordinary.

India, China may resume direct flights next month
India and China may resume direct flights as early as next month, people familiar with the talks said, as both nations seek to reset ties. Indian carriers have been asked to prepare services at short notice, with an announcement likely around the SCO summit in China later in Aug. Passenger flights were halted after Covid pandemic, forcing travelers to route via hubs like Hong Kong or Singapore. The move comes as India's ties with the US face strain amid a tariff war. On Monday, Air India said it would suspend its Washington DC service next month citing "operational factors." Relations between India and China soured after 2020 border clashes but have eased with India recently allowing tourist visas for Chinese nationals. Before the suspension, Air India, IndiGo, Air China, China Southern and China Eastern operated direct services. Both Air India and IndiGo are expected to restart China flights, though the exact timing remains uncertain.

Passenger on India debut: I would love to work in a Bollywood film
Though he's visited India quite a few times as a tourist, his week-long sojourn this November is extra special. Passenger aka Mike Rosenberg is looking forward to marking his music debut in India with a three-city tour. 'India has always been close to my heart. I've been to Kerala so many times and the place is magical. But I never got a chance to travel to other parts of the country. During my week-long musical trip to India, I wish to soak in the magic and culture of the beautiful place,' says the multi-award-winning English singer-songwriter, who will be performing Passenger India 2025 across Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The tour has been produced and promoted by Bookmyshow Live. Passenger(Photo: Instagram) As he speaks to us from the UK, he admits that he's aware of the kind of love his music receives in India. 'Thanks to social media and other music platforms, I get to gauge the love Indians shower on me and my music. Since I'm a lot into indie folk, I know Indians resonate with that kind of work. I can't wait to take the stage and offer all that I have to my fans during my India tour. I want my concerts to be the best Indians have seen. People spend money and invest so much time and emotions in attending a concert, and I make sure I make my gigs interactive so that they feel a part of it,' says Passenger. The 41-year-old, who calls himself 'lazy' when it comes to educating himself with music from other countries, says he's aware of the kind of popularity Indian musicians such as AR Rahman command globally, and he hopes to learn more about such artistes and their works. The singer, best-known for his chartbuster Let Her Go, shares, 'I would love to work in a Bollywood film. Though my trip is really packed, I hope to catch up with some artistes and explore the possibility of collab. I feel I can connect with Indian audiences, as the themes for my music - love, loss and introspection- are something Indians resonate with.'
