“The thing I like most about Bali is [it’s] like one big resort, and when you go on holiday you leave all your baggage behind… so everyone is enjoying themselves, it’s very optimistic,” says esteemed Australian designer, artist and owner of Pineapple Hill, Stuart Membery.

Stuart, the former head designer of Esprit, now splits his time between Bondi, Australia and Bali, Indonesia. He talks to us about his new boutique luxury Balinese villa, Pineapple Hill, how Bali has changed over the decades and gives us some insider picks of where you should go on your next trip to the Island of the Gods, see stuartmemberyhome.com or instagram.com/pineapplehill_bali/

We also chat about life at sea, with one US residential cruise ship launching a multi-year, around-the-world voyage to 'escape' the incoming US presidency, and we reveal the world’s best vineyards, which includes several in Australia and New Zealand, see worldsbestvineyards.com
