Vacation Refresh
Antiquity meets new luxury at the Hotel Escondido Oaxaca. Located right along the beach, this getaway on the coast of Mexico offers a perfect escape from the hustle of city living. The hotel comprises 12 unique rooms and suites—designed by Mexican architect Alberto Kalach—that combine antique elements with modern design. Tapping into the culture and rich heritage of the surroundings, everything from the furniture to the linens, rugs, and decorations works together to create an authentic Oaxacan experience. Hotel Escondido is a love letter to Oaxaca and the artisans who have made the region what it is.

FOOD + DRINK
Luxury Spirits
Quebec-based luxury liquor brand Aupale crafts vodka from Canadian corn and pure spring water from North Shore glaciers to create a bold, crisp flavour. Enjoy the original vodka on its own or with a splash of soda for an elevated take on a classic mixer. Or, for something with a bit more flavour, try Aupale’s new grapefruit seltzer. Each bottle is naturally flavoured, cold-pressed, sweetened using repurposed fruits, and thoughtfully bottled in recycled glass.
