Previous editions

Tamil Nadu

After detours to Michelin-starred luxury, French Crown Jewels, and Tasmania, this edition of The Panache Post brings travel closer to home. And deeper into the golden era of Tamil Nadu. Think long weekends that linger for days, where awe-inspiring temples meet the cuisine of legend, and the spirit of the Chettiyars and Brahmin communities lives on in immersive stays and soulful local experiences.

Notes from our Tasmanian travels

What do you seek in a holiday? The answers vary for our travellers: nature’s awe, authentic cultural immersion, wellness, and exceptional cuisine. May we introduce you to an island that has it all: Tasmania, Australia.

VIVE LE FRANCE

Crew of four needed only seven minutes, a truck-mounted lift, blowtorches, glass cutters, and scooters to pull off what’s already being called the heist of the century at The Louvre.
But even as these jewels disappear from public view, France’s other crown jewels remain gloriously open: the Palaces.

Michelin Keys

When Michelin announced in April 2024 that it would start awarding Keys—the hotel world’s answer to the iconic Michelin Stars—the global travel industry collectively straightened its tie. Finally, there was a benchmark that celebrated not square footage or chandelier counts, but something far rarer: soul, intention, and quiet perfectionism

Short Haul Trips​

Here for a good time, not a long time” is the energy the latest Panache Post is giving. This week, it’s all about short haul trips that pack in maximal adventure and downtime, without demanding a career break or sabbatical.

What Makes India So Incredible?​

What makes India incredible? Find our take in this week’s Panache Post. Beyond being where we come from, The Motherland is the place we keep rediscovering.

People​

The places we visit leave an imprint, but it’s the people along the way who shape our stories. This edition of The Panache Post celebrates the unforgettable connections we make on our travels

Museums

Those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat its mistakes — or worse, to miss out on its beauty, resilience, and wild invention. We believe museums are more than a means to safeguard memories; they shape the way we travel, see, and evolve.

Aesthetics

One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.”: Oscar Wilde knew a thing or two about living beautifully—and at Panache World, we believe your travel should be just as artful as your quirks. This edition of The Panache Post is for those who are unapologetically hung up on aesthetics.

The new royals​

Luxury isn’t about excess and opulence anymore. Well, the version we champion isn’t. The new royals aren’t overtly impressed by spectacle; they’re drawn to places rich with history, soul, and quiet wonder.

Room(s) with a view

In his classic novel, E.M. Forster wrote about needing a “room with a view”.  A space that opens your heart to the world and lets you dream a little bigger. At Panache World, that’s our promise every time you trust us with your travel arrangements.

Born to be wild

‘Born to be wild’ means seeking the freedom and thrill the earth offers in its most untamed corners. True adventure goes beyond checklists and objectivity … to some it’s chasing the thunder of the Great Migration, drifting quietly through river forests, or searching for big cats across ancient stones. Sometimes, it’s feeling the ocean’s pulse from the edge of a lost island.

Our way

How we travel matters as much as where we go. ‘Our Way’ means steering away from the obvious into the truly experiential: private evenings in Florentine palazzos, meals locals won’t let on about, and touches of luxury that tread lightly on their surroundings. Our way means building connections with people who open doors most travellers don’t even know exist.

Family travel

Longtermism’ is the human need to make life easier for future generations. The promise of creating a lasting legacy is a great reason to get out of bed every morning. Traditionally, legacy might have meant property, a thriving business, or valuable heirlooms. For modern, evolved families, the definition of true legacy is shifting from what can be owned towards what can be felt, learned and cherished together.

Tale of two Japans

Japan is the world’s stage and everybody seems to want a ticket; it welcomed nearly 37 million visitors last year, a 47% rise from the year before.

Ask yourself which Japan calls to you: Tokyo’s vibrant neon buzz or the timeless charm of Kyoto, the country’s cultural heart? After our recent journey East, we’re sharing an insider’s guide to these two captivating cities.

Co-existence

In travel and in life, the phrase ‘having your cake and eating it too’ implies wanting it all, enjoying two seemingly incompatible advantages at the same time. For the discerning traveller, experiencing the best of both worlds is a meaningful pursuit.

Slow travel

I firmly believe that travel has the remarkable power to make us not only richer in experiences but also kinder and more compassionate individuals. It’s in those moments when we immerse ourselves in a new culture, connect with the local people, and gain a deeper understanding of their way of life so that our hearts open, and our perspectives broaden.

Curation

Curation is key. It separates an ill-fitting itinerary from a journey handcrafted just for you.

We lead with six questions you should ask your travel designer before booking your nest holiday. We also peel back the curtain  to show our much-iterated itinerary design process, with every step maximized for curation and customizability.

Senses

Our feature, Scents & sensibility, dives into the making of signature scents in luxury hotels, followed by two sensory showstoppers: aerial whale watching in Kaikoura, New Zealand; and Plaza Athénée’s iconic Parisian pink suites. Get a taste of a Bordeaux-style wine inspired by the inimitable Sophia Loren, and read our ode to Malta, a tiny island we’re crushing on big time.

Pilot

In a world where travel has become commoditised, we believe extraordinary experiences deserve extraordinary insight. The Panache Post is your gateway to the hidden gems, insider perspectives, and cultural nuances that transform luxury travel from mere indulgence into profound discovery.
