Adachi Pimentel, @adachiphoto
It was the Philadelphia-based, New York–born photographer Adachi’s birthday on Afropunk’s first day, which in some ways contributed to her slightly holographic, breezy look. “I think that subconsciously I wanted to start my year off light,” she says. “I wanted to wear light colors and feel light.”

These three teenaged skaters went against the grain a bit by eschewing the festival’s unofficial dress code that tends towards extravagance. As Lamar Dobbins explains, “It’s Afropunk so no one’s really going to judge what you’re wearing. I just put on regular attire, what I wear every day.”
Grace
Grace traveled all the way from the U.K. for the Brooklyn edition of Afropunk, and she described her chic look as “an amalgamation of everything I like,” from some ’70s influences to Afro-inspired makeup, all topped off with a nod to Paris in her red beret. She says that Afropunk’s focus on community is more important now than it has ever been before, as “there’s a wider movement of defiance almost and just not accepting what we’re told is the norm,” acknowledging that the only antidote is, “inclusion in every sense.”
As our idea of what constitutes true luxury in the modern day continues to evolve, the draw of multi-generational travel rises alongside it. Known as 3G holidays, this is the next step in family holidays, and it’s gaining momentum. In fact, after 2020's travel restrictions, families realised the value of shared experiences — and it’s a trend that’s still going strong. A recent study by Booking.com found that 58% of travellers said their parents paid for part or all their holidays. Why? Because Boomers (the ones funding the trips) are prioritising time together over material possessions. This is especially true in regions where young families are eager to invite their parents on holidays they couldn’t afford earlier in life.

For easy family trips, look for adjoining rooms that bring everyone together without sacrificing privacy. Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Hotel offers Ocean Family Club rooms with special family club benefits. Or, in Spain, Anantara Villa Padierna Palace in Marbella provides family rooms for up to six people. Many Hilton hotels worldwide even guarantee availability of connecting rooms when booking, so you don’t have to wait until check-in to confirm.

For those who love the great outdoors, a glamping getaway could hit the spot. A portmanteau of “glamour” and “camping”, great glamping spots can be found across the world, including Shinta Mani Wild in Cambodia; the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in Vancouver, British Columbia; and the Glamping Village Totonoi at Mount Fuji, Japan. In the UAE, Ras Al Khaimah’s Longbeach Campground makes it easy for families to pick-and-mix among accommodation types. Aside from the Deluxe and Family Tents, there are 10 Safari Suite tents that can fit up to four people each (with private showers), and the iconic Panoramic Dome Suite Tent, which comes with its own bathroom, terrace, and spa bath. The latter can fit four adults and two kids, or six adults, and its glass exterior gives guests the chance to stargaze together. However, your group divvies up where you sleep, it’s easy to come together at the infinity pool bar or the beach dining area, enjoy sports together, or watch a movie at the outdoor cinema.

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a core part of travel planning in 2025. Eco-conscious travellers opt for stays in solar-powered resorts, zero-waste boutique hotels, and destinations prioritising environmental responsibility. Airlines are also adopting greener practices, with sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) becoming more common with airports introducing carbon offset initiatives at check-in.
According to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), sustainable tourism is expected to account for over 60% of global travel decisions by 2025.
Did you know that the Lounge of the Year winner of the Priority Pass Excellence Awards for the Middle East & Africa, the Primeclass Lounge at Muscat International Airport blends comfort with sustainability. It supports local sourcing to reduce carbon emissions and boost the regional economy, while incorporating sustainable materials throughout its design and operations. It’s a standout example of how luxury travel is embracing eco-conscious practices.
