This year’s Ultimate Travel Guide is dedicated to transporting you to parts unknown. It’s not a cliché to say that when our writers return from their respective voyages, they invariably describe them as ‘extraordinary’ and ‘life-changing’.
In this issue, we have dispatched the acclaimed novelist Tahmima Anam to the temples of Japan to uncover the mysteries of her husband’s former life there, Teresa Fitzherbert escapes to Marlon Brando’s Pacific private island and Gwyneth Paltrow sends her postcard from New York. Meanwhile, Bazaar editors have also carefully curated their favourite hotspots for your holiday inspiration, whether it’s to indulge in experiences in wellness, cruises, romantic sojourns, places as seen on screen, the best of British hospitality and more.
And so, it’s our intention for each and every story, whether that’s a peaceful retreat in Thailand, a honeymoon woven through with the music of America’s South, or a road trip retracing Vita Sackville-West’s 1937 Italian journey for Bazaar, to embody a spirit of adventure that takes us beyond our daily lives. I hope you enjoy reading.
The ‘Harper’s Bazaar Ultimate Travel Guide 2024’ is published with the June issue of Bazaar – out now.
