OutThere Magazine

In this edition of OutThere we step off the well-trodden path – not just for novelty, but for nuance. And in pursuit of that nuance, we journey to Salvador, Brazil… it’s a place that you feel and immerse in, far more than you see and visit. Bahia’s capital is also a showcase of Afro-Brazilian heritage, a place where the legacies of resistance, resilience and creativity are woven into every rhythm, ritual and recipe – stories not just of survival, but of vibrant expression, community pride and spiritual depth.

We also return to the original luxury – nature – today providing something else of rare value: context. And we’re reminded that to experience nature with humility, curiousity and care is perhaps the most sophisticated journey of all. We head to Australia to swim with whale sharks, to Namibia to spot rare black rhinos in the wild, to Rwanda in search of silverback gorillas and to South Africa to check in on the welfare of fellow humans in KwaZulu-Natal.

We also drop into French Polynesia to witness the legacy in conservation left by a Hollywood superstar, at The Brando. And legacy plays a rather important role too in the places we’ve curated for this issue, from a husband-and-husband owned private farmstead in Norway, to a legendary hotel in Provence that has returned two decades after it shuttered at the turn of the millennium.
