Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Casa de Campo Resort & Villas , the storied Dominican Republic resort that draws in everyone from U.S. presidents (including both George Bushes and Bill Clinton) to celebrities (Drake filmed his “Started from the Bottom” video in a lavish villa, one that Rihanna also visited during a separate trip), recently amped up its already extensive offerings with a new hotel-within-a-hotel, The Premier Club. Opened in 1974, the sprawling 7,000-acre haven on the country’s southeastern coast seems more like a village than a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star resort, with three golf courses, a marina (with 370 slips, it’s the largest in the Caribbean), a yacht club, an equestrian center, polo fields, a spa, nearly 20 dining and drinking spots, a tennis center (the Caribbean’s biggest) and a shooting club in addition to hotel rooms, suites and villas. Debuting last month, the all-suite Premier Club provides more privacy and … [Read more...] about This Exclusive Dominican Republic Haven Opened A New Hotel-Within-A-Hotel

The Most Romantic Maldives Valentine Adventure: A 5-Star Luxury Liveaboard Yacht
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Looking for the ultimate romantic Valentine’s extravaganza? Consider the Maldives, 1,190 sun-bleached islands in the Indian Ocean (southwest of Sri Lanka and India). This uninhabited paradise is dotted with powdery white sand beaches surrounded by crystal-clear waters on an archipelago of volcanoes which have sunk into the water. Beneath, are stunning limestone coral reefs — the rainforest of the sea — with shades of the sea ranging from aquamarine and turquoise to azure and Tiffany blue. One of the most unique and romantic ways to experience the Maldives is on a “cruising resort” such as the 5-star liveaboard 128-foot yacht Maldives Four Seasons Explorer where passengers come to dive or snorkel on three, four or seven-night cruises. A Liveaboard is a scuba diving purposely-built boat or existing vessel that offers diving trips lasting longer than one night.

Selema Masekela On X Games’ Past, Its Present, And His Journey Back After 10 Years Away
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin When you think back on the biggest moments in X Games history—Travis Pastrana landing the first-ever double backflip on a dirt bike; snowboarder Shaun White earning the first perfect 100 in X Games history; snowboarder Kelly Clark landing the first 1080 by a woman in competition—one person’s voice likely anchors those memories. It’s Selema Masekela, the “voice of action sports,” the face of X Games for 13 years, going back to the beginning of the millennium. Masekela became as much a part of the fabric of X Games as the athletes, before his departure in 2013 to pursue other projects, including a contract with Red Bull Media House and a partnership with NBC Sports to provide Olympics coverage. But X Games is starting a new chapter in 2023, with new ownership and a creative overhaul. And that new direction is taking a page from the playbook of the past, as X Games welcomes Masekela back in 2023 not only as host, but as a … [Read more...] about Selema Masekela On X Games’ Past, Its Present, And His Journey Back After 10 Years Away
Review: ‘Suicide Squad’ Lets Bad Guys Shine For Wickedly Good Fun
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Warner Bros.' DC Comics cinematic universe gets a big shot in the arm this weekend as Suicide Squad -- their latest and most unorthodox entry in the genre to date -- blasts into theaters this weekend. Riding a wave of exceptional marketing and intense fan anticipation, new tracking suggests the film could blow past predictions and into the record books. The studio is hoping Suicide Squad serves as the first course-correction for the DCU with regard to critical reception and audience expectations, after the negative reactions to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice earlier this year (although some course-correcting already took place when the home entertainment release of that film's Ultimate Edition was met with reevaluations and more positive reviews). The domestic opening box office outlook for Suicide Squad saw a small dip last week, from an initial $125 million to $115 million, but this week those numbers are … [Read more...] about Review: ‘Suicide Squad’ Lets Bad Guys Shine For Wickedly Good Fun
