In Siargao, a good day’s surfing deserves an equally good dinner. From kinilaw and wood-fired pizza to cocktails with a Filipino twist, there’s plenty to come ashore for. Alma (@almasiargao) Paella, tapas and fresh seafood, with the sea itself as a backdrop. Settle in for a long lunch. Kermit (@kermitsiargao) An island institution for wood-fired pizza and fresh pasta. Come hungry, straight from the surf. CEV (@cevsiargao) Get acquainted with kinilaw: fresh fish cured in vinegar and citrus. Or try the Pacifico ceviche with coconut-milk leche de tigre. Shaka Café (@shaka.hq) Smoothie bowls, tropical fruit and coffee by Cloud 9. A colourful start to the day, whether you’re catching waves or watching them. Wild Siargao (@wild.siargao) Filipino cooking with a few surprises. Porchetta kare-kare gives you an idea of where things are heading. Nay Palad Hideaway (@naypalad) The day’s catch and produce from the garden shape the menu. As for the setting? A beach picnic one day, dinner beneath the stars the next. White Beard Coffee (@whitebeardcoffee) Make time for a flat white and brioche French toast before the day’s exploring begins. NĀGA (@naga.siargao) Low lighting, a globally inspired menu and cocktails worth lingering over. One for an evening à deux. Roots (@roots.siargao) A seasonal tasting menu led by local farmers and fishermen, with Italian, Spanish and Latin American influences along the way. Bravo (@bravosiargao) Spanish flavours with Filipino and Asian accents. Arrive for dinner; stay for sunset drinks and music. Manu (@manusiargaofficial) Tiki with a Filipino accent. Local ingredients and house-made infusions give the cocktails a character all their own.

At Eraeliya Villas & Gardens, every suite and villa has its own story. Ambalama Pavilion almost disappears into the garden, with glass walls and a bathroom beneath the open sky. Garden House Nelum pairs tropical surroundings with a bath carved from a single piece of stone. Just metres from the Indian Ocean, beach hut Muhudu Bella follows the form of the Fibonacci spiral, from its circular bedroom to its curved staircase. Elsewhere, ocean view suites and contemporary lofts are filled with original artwork, handcrafted furniture and details collected rather than prescribed. Individual spaces with a shared sense of place, made for those who prefer character over convention.

Why Weligama? Its name means sandy village but this small town on Sri Lanka’s southern coast offers far more than its beaches. Come for warm water and year round waves. Stay for yoga mornings and stilt fishermen at sunset, a tradition believed to have begun during the Second World War as fishermen adapted to crowded waters. Then there is the food. Move from surf shop turned beach club Ceylon Sliders and Taco Tuesdays at Moochie’s to Sri Lankan ingredients reimagined in Japanese dishes at Kaiyo and the Pan Asian menu at Locale. In season, boats head out from the coast in search of whales. Weligama is also well placed for further adventure: find Coconut Tree Hill in Mirissa, spend an afternoon in Ahangama, walk the ramparts of Galle Fort or travel inland to see elephants and other wildlife at Udawalawe or Yala National Park. Weligama feels real, walkable and wonderfully unhurried. The kind of place where time slows, distractions fade and people remember your name.

Introducing Eraeliya Villas & Gardens, Sri Lanka, the newest member of The Set. On the quieter edge of Weligama, a fishing town whose name means 'sandy village', individually designed suites and villas sit within tropical gardens beside the Indian Ocean. Here, mornings begin with yoga, afternoons unfold beside clear blue water, and evenings are shaped by Sri Lankan flavours and coastal sunsets. Beyond the gardens, surf Weligama's waves, watch stilt fishermen at work, head out in search of whales, explore Mirissa, Ahangama and historic Galle Fort, or travel inland for a safari through Udawalawe or Yala National Park. Welcome to The Set, @eraeliya_villas. #TheSet #EraeliyaVillasAndGardens #Weligama #SriLanka

The final sunsets of the season @andronisconcept. One last reason to linger. There will be other evenings but we’ll find ourselves thinking of these.

Checking in for the weekend @upperhouse_hkg. A slow morning, a table for two, an afternoon following the city wherever it leads are all on the agenda. Everything else can wait until Monday ✨

As the sun sets on another summer at @myconiandeos, the final Champagne is being poured, the last lobster linguine is being served and the Moke buggies are being polished and put away for another season. We’re already counting down the days to reopening 🇬🇷

Stamps we’ve been collecting this year 🖼️ @thechedihegra @shintamaniwild @thesiambangkok @naypalad @hotelcaferoyal @myconiandeos
