Vast and unspoiled, the private Selinda Reserve links the Okavango Delta to the Linyanti and Savute river systems, embodying Africa’s true spirit and, more specifically, that of Botswana itself. Located within this remote wilderness are Great Plains Conservation’s Selinda Camp and Zarafa Camp. Designed in an ecologically friendly manner, Zarafa Camp consists of large, sumptuously appointed tented suites, recreating the atmosphere of the very first safaris in their traditional style. Selinda Camp brilliantly synthesises the meeting of cultures thanks to its luxurious suites. In this exciting region, you will be able to appreciate the countless wonders of Botswana’s wildlife; it’s a veritable breeding ground for rare animals where nature has so much to offer. You’ll have the great privilege of observing the famous lions featured in Birth of a Pride, the film directed by Derek and Beverley Joubert for National Geographic, as well as endangered African wild dogs, hippos bathing in the lagoons, and large herds of elephants grazing peacefully in the surrounding area. It is a magical show enriched by the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

Over a period of twenty years, Christian Louboutin, founder of the eponymous couture brand, has developed a passion for the south of Portugal, particularly the tranquility of the small village of Melides in Alentejo, ten minutes from the Atlantic coast. The designer has opened Hotel Vermelho, a traditional property whose sky-blue façade is decorated with ceramics by sculptor Giuseppe Ducrot. They give a hint of an interior that is both baroque and joyful, with décor designed by Madalena Caiado. Here in this property, the owner invites guests to taste ‘la vie en rouge’, having called on the best artisans and some of his artist friends to contribute to its aesthetic, creating plaster sconces, magnificent wall frescoes and fascinating optical illusions. Typically Portuguese, but inspired by Louboutin's favorite color, the red tiles lining the floor of the bar come from the famed Azulejos de Azeitão ceramic factory. The hotel is also decorated throughout with furniture, antiques and objects taken from the owner’s private collection. The hotel’s rooms and suites, most with their own terrace that open onto the garden and swimming pool, each boast their own original style. Xtian restaurant serves tasty, bistro-inspired Portuguese cuisine using local artisanal ingredients.
