Aman Le Mélézin hotel review: A sleek and chic retreat in France’s hottest ski spot

Downstairs at the hotel, minimalist spaces like the spa (and that Capri-stone lined pool), the bamboo-floored yoga studio, the boot room and children’s play area (filled with arcade games and toys galore) are a draw for non-ski time. Pros reserve slots in the Japanese Iyashi Dôme — similar to a sauna, but instead you lay down for 30 minutes for a burst of infrared rays to target muscle recovery. It’s a game-changer. Take time for a cold plunge, a hot blast in the Turkish hammam, or simply a swim in the pool. Source link

From messing about on boats, to where serves the best posh fish and chips, here’s how to make the most of a staycation in the British Riviera hotspot.What’s your favourite destination and why?Salcombe in Devon.

She suggested it about 10 years ago, so we threw everything in the car and drove, and I fell in love with it instantly.
Some people call it Chelsea on Sea, but when the weather is amazing down there it’s like the English Riviera. We try to go every year for a couple of weeks to recharge. It’s a place I feel so connected to. With the hectic life of an actor in London and everything else going on, I get there and I feel instantly more relaxed and chilled. It’...

In an interview with mid day, the actor, currently seen in Disney+ Hotstar rom-com Sweet Dreams, shares her aspirations for the next stage of her career that include playing antagonists, and why she believes that love stories need to be reimagined for the GenZ audience. Edited excerpts from the interview.
