Let life get in your way this summer by making the most of it. It is our hope that this July edition of essential will help you to do just that.

Let us whisk you off to Paris, the city of love, for a romantic interlude. As well as all its revered highlights, we delve deeper into the city’s lesser known charms.

Imagine life onboard a stunning superyacht, feel the adrenalin in the new Porsche 911 999.2 GT3, and have fun zooming around in a Mini Mike.
This month, we focus on art in all its guises and we invite you to reconnect with your inner self, finding peace of mind with ancient spa practises.

Check into the new OKU Andalusia and check out suave swimwear from Selmark modelled by this month’s cover star, Pilar Rubio.
Catch our one-on-one with Nicholas Hoult and meet Dr. Krisztina Soreg, Associate Professor at Les Roches. Finally, plan a visit to the new-look Ocean Club and savour some beautiful rosé wine this July.
