The post IL Sereno Lake Como reopens for the 2025 season appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

ILSereno, one of the most celebrated hotel launches of the 21st century,  reopens for an exciting 2025 season with new exclusive experiences. Set on the tranquil  shores of Lake Como, IL Sereno redefined luxury in the region with its contemporary  design and impeccable service. Every single one of the hotel’s rooms and suites are  stylishly appointed with the finest Italian furnishings and have floor to ceiling windows  with direct views of the lake, offering an intimate connection to the lake’s beauty. This season brings exciting new updates and curated experiences that enhance its status as a  standout destination.

Introducing the listening suite 

This season, IL Sereno unveils a groundbreaking experience: The Listening Suite—an  intimate sanctuary where music and design converge. Conceived under the artistic  direction of Patricia Urquiola, the suite reflects a significant investment of hundreds of  thousands of euros, setting a new global benchmark for immersive hospitality.

Inspired by Japan’s revered listening rooms—exclusive spaces where vinyl records are  appreciated with quiet reverence—the suite elevates the art of listening. Handcrafted  soundproof walls, made from locally sourced acoustic fabrics, ensure flawless sound  quality, while bespoke walnut furnishings create an inviting, sophisticated atmosphere.  At its heart lies a state-of-the-art sound system featuring audio equipment including  vacuum tube amplifiers, a refurbished reel-to-reel players and speakers made from the  same wood as the rest of the hotel (Noce Canaletto) weighing over 200 kg—delivering sounds with unmatched purity and depth. A curated collection of vintage vinyl records,  generously donated by Il Sereno’s owner and lifelong music aficionado Luis Contreras,  allows guests to curate their own soundtracks.

With inspiring views across the lake and private access to the water, the Listening Suite  serves as a private music club where guests can savour bespoke cocktails or dine while  immersed in flawless sound. Available for an overnight stay or as an exclusive venue for  private dining or events, it offers a rare and intimate experience. The space was conceived  by Angelica and Luis Contreras to have different functions, either lounging on the floor  listening and playing music, enjoying a meal in the new massive stone-table in front of  the speakers, or sharing the almost 200 sq.mt. of the suite with friends and family.

Lake Como has long inspired creative minds, from Manzoni and Stendhal to Liszt and  Hesse. In the 1830s, Franz Liszt lived on the lake with his lover, Countess Marie d’Agoult,  composing works that captured its beauty and melancholy—reflected in Années de  Pèlerinage (Years of Pilgrimage). Today, the lake continues to inspire icons like Beyoncé,  Miley Cyrus, and Bruno Mars (all former Sereno guests). The Listening Suite honours this  legacy, blending Japanese listening culture with Italian elegance for a truly unique  experience and it this the world’s first in its kind.

Vintage car and yacht experiences  

Discover the timeless allure of Lake Como, hailed by the Latin poet Virgil as “our greatest  lake.” Set in one of Northern Italy’s most breathtaking locations, Lake Como remains an enchanting destination for romantic getaways and refined exploration, either by car or  by boat.

Stepping back in time with a vintage car tour through Lake Como’s most scenic roads is  an experience that captures the glamour and romance of Italy’s golden age. The lake  offers the perfect set to feel the allure of driving a beautifully restored classic car along  winding lakeside roads, framed by secular trees and charming villages. Escorted by a lead  car, you will pass through iconic towns like Bellagio and Menaggio, where elegant  boutiques and lively piazzas evoke the charm of Italy’s golden era. The sensation of the  engine’s hum, the scent of Italian leather, and the breeze from the lake create a nostalgic  journey reminiscent of classic Italian cinema—a timeless blend of elegance and  adventure.

The post Heathrow Airport orders probe into shutdown as travellers endure days of disruption appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

London’s Heathrow Airport resumed full operations on Saturday and ordered a probe into how it dealt with a power outage that shut Europe’s busiest air hub for almost a day as airlines warned of further delays and cancellations.

British Airways whose main hub is Heathrow, said it had operated around 90% of its schedule on Saturday and promised a “near-full” schedule for Sunday after chief executive Sean Doyle on Friday warned the “huge impact” would last days.
The airport, the world’s fifth-busiest, had been due to handle 1,351 flights on Friday, flying up to 291,000 passengers. But the fire at a nearby electrical substation forced planes to be diverted to other airports and many long-haul flights returned to their point of departure.
Britain’s energy ministry said on Saturday it had commissioned the National Energy System Operator to carry out an urgent investigation into the outage that raised questions about the resilience of the country’s critical infrastructure.
Heathrow said it had tasked an independent board member, former transport minister Ruth Kelly, with undertaking a review of the airport’s crisis-management plan and its response to the incident with the aim of boosting resilience.
Aviation experts said the last time European airports experienced disruption on such a large scale was the 2010 Icelandic volcanic ash cloud that grounded some 100,000 flights.
The vast majority of scheduled morning and early afternoon flights departed successfully on Saturday, with a handful of delays and cancellations, Heathrow’s departures website showed.
But airlines were still left dealing with disrupted schedules and the tens of thousands of passengers whose journeys had been interrupted.
Virgin Atlantic said on Saturday that it was planning to run a near-full schedule with limited cancellations. Air India said it had restarted flights to and from Heathrow and expected to operate “as per schedule”.
The travel industry, facing the prospect of a financial hit costing tens of millions of pounds and a likely fight over who should pay, questioned how such crucial infrastructure could fail without backup.
“It is a clear planning failure by the airport,” said Willie Walsh, head of global airlines body IATA, who, as former head of British Airways, has for years been a fierce critic of the crowded hub.
Heathrow and London’s other major airports have been hit by other outages in recent years, most recently by an automated gate failure and an air traffic system meltdown, both in 2023.

The post Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas named One of TIME’s World’s Greatest Places of 2025 appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, a luxury island hideaway in Southern Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay, has been named one of the world’s 100 most exciting destinations to visit right now by TIME.

The annual list, unveiled in this month’s issue, is made of up one-of-a-kind spots and experiences as nominated by TIME’s network of correspondents and contributors around the world. The 2025 issue comprises a highly curated collection of hotels, cruises, restaurants, attractions, museums, parks and more. Only 54 places to stay made the list, with Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas being the only resort in Thailand, and one of only nine in Asia.

Opening its doors just over a year ago, Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas is a world its own, sprawling over 27 acres of land that stretches from lush mountain peaks to pristine coastline. Here, tranquility pervades, and yet it is only 35 minutes by speedboat from bustling Phuket and 20 minutes from Krabi. The resort boasts 148 suites, villas and penthouses, including beachfront pool villas with villa host service, and wellness lagoon villas with a dedicated exercise, meditation or treatment room.

Appealing to TIME the most is the resort’s ability to balance being truly family friendly while still catering to luxury travellers. Families enjoy suites with bunk beds and play areas, a dedicated waterpark, the largest kids’ club in the region, and child-friendly dining options. Young guests are catered to just as much if not more than adults, with the attentive and intuitive service for which Anantara is known.

There are also plenty of activities for families to enjoy on the island, with sidecar rides through lush plantations to quaint fishing villages, visits to Laem Haad Beach, voted as one of the top in the world, getting up close with Thailand’s famous water buffalo, and flying yoga. Best of all is the My SKY experience, with a day aboard a sleek 55-foot private yacht visiting the icons of Phang Nga Bay, including Hong Island, only 20 minutes away, with its hidden treasures, crystal-clear lagoons and panoramic viewpoints.

“We are honoured to receive this prestigious recognition from TIME, a testament to our iconic location, high standards of service and commitment to sustainable luxury travel,” says Puneet Dhawan, Head of Asia at Minor Hotels. “We look forward to welcoming even more guests, showing them the beauty of our island and the region in the coming seasons.”
