Three Perfect Days In Ireland
Anyone lucky enough to travel to Ireland will relate to Johnny Cash’s description of writing one of his most cherished songs. As he drove through the country, looking at the map on his lap, rhymes started to flow. “The names in Ireland beg to be sung,” Cash said, “and for the title I looked out the window, and there they were, ‘40 Shades of Green.’” On the Emerald Isle—where the poet-to-sheep ratio rivals the natural beauty in legend and scale—memories are made from the magical encounters along the way. Whether in the misty countryside or the cozy confines of a pub, travelers road-tripping from Galway to Dublin will find warm hospitality and stories told (with equal parts horror and humor) by what Cash called the “fine, kind people.” May the road, and a raincoat, rise up to meet you.

JCR Holiday Recipe Exchange
Sixteen years have passed since we published our very first JCR holiday cookie exchange. Now an annual tradition, we look forward — every year — to gathering, baking, taste-testing, and serving delectable holiday recipes from our hotels and chefs across the globe. This year’s cookie exchange brings traditional yummies (chocolate chip cookies and Scottish shortbread) together with new, can’t-wait-to-try delicacies like French Madeleines from Paris. The famed Cifelli coconut cream pie (Anthony’s fave) which I make twice a year, Christmas and his birthday, is also included.
So make space on those kitchen islands, gather your ingredients, measuring spoons, and most festive aprons. Happy baking and be sure to send us a photo of your creations.
Happy holiday season.
Truevail: Coconut Custard Pie
Hands down, a favorite holiday (and birthday) recipe in the Cifelli house: Janine’s famous coconut custard pie.
Ballyfin, Ireland: Festive Biscuits
What is tea in Ireland without these festive holiday biscuits?
The Safari Collection, Kenya: Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who doesn’t savor a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip cookie, especially this classic recipe from Kenya.
The Aerial, BVI, British Virgin Islands: Raw Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Slice
From the isle of wellness, try this amazing peanut butter cookie dough slice. A great source of plant-based protein, peanut butter is also known to help lower high cholesterol levels.
Glenapp Castle, Scotland: Scottish Tablet
Cherished for its rich, sweet flavor and crumbly texture, the Scottish Tablet is crafted with care in kitchens across Scotland, especially at Christmas time.
HL Adventure, Iceland: Icelandic Gingerbread
Festive to both the eye and palate, we love these homemade gingerbread cakes.
Hotel Esprit Saint Germain, Paris: Madeleines with Christmas Spices
Bring a taste of Paris to your holiday table with madeleines, typical French cup cakes, spiced with Christmas cheer.
La Nauve, Hôtel + Jardin, Cognac, France: Christmas Cookies
These lovely cookies are the favorite of La Nauve’s pastry Chef Simon Souchaud.
Soneva Jani, Maldives: Orange Blossom Snowflake Cookies
Bite into Soneva Resorts’ orange blossom snowflake cookies and be instantly transported to the Maldives. Yum.
Kisawa Sanctuary, Mozambique: Baobab Chocolate Chip Cookie
This decadent cookie may require a trip to an African specialty store (for Baobab) but the effort is worth it.
White Elephant, Nantucket: Spiced Molasses Brownies
Nothing speaks (or smells) of the holiday season more than White Elephant’s spiced molasses brownies. So good.
SION: BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie
Chocolate chip cookies are always a good idea, so we are excited to debut Sion’s version of the classic.
Grantley Hall, UK: Speculoos Fingers
Cookies are not as much a holiday tradition in the UK as in the US, but Grantley Hall’s festive afternoon tea cakes are always a seasonal favorite.
Katikies Resorts, Greece: Cinnamon Cookies
We can smell these delectable cinnamon cookies all the way from Greece. If the holidays had a fragrance, this is it.
Hotel Le Toiny, St. Barth: Chocolate Chip Cookies
From Hotel Le Toiny’s new chef comes this variation on the classic chocolate chip cookie, perfect for the holiday season.
The Greenwich Hotel, New York City: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
While these sumptuous pumpkin cakes first appear around Thanksgiving, they remain popular throughout the festive season.
Sheen Falls Lodge, Ireland: Mistletoe Mix Manhattan
From the Emerald Isle, a taste of Manhattan with Sheen Falls Lodge’s festive Mistletoe Mix Manhattan cocktail.
Family Twist, Europe: Chocolate Almond Twice-Baked Cookies from Provence
This decadent croquants (chocolate almond twice-baked cookies) from Provence recipe comes from our European friends at Family Twist. Merci.

Inspired by Cafe Chelsea’s Pain Perdu, try this dreamy French toast, ideal for holiday brunch. Though in France, it is typically served as dessert.
St. Barth Connection, St. Barth & Anguilla: Truffle Croque Monsieur
Not a cookie or sweet, but a savory truffle croque monsieur apéritif, French style.
Castlemartyr, Ireland: Terre New Year’s Cocktail
The perfect libation to ring in the New year, this festive cocktail is the creation of Filip, sommelier at Castlemartyr’s Michelin star restaurant, Terre.
Lodge Lorien, New Zealand: Divine White Chocolate Berry & Limoncello Tiramisu
Our newest client, Lodge Lorien, is sharing the holiday spirit with this festive (and divine) white chocolate, berry & limoncello tiramisu.

The Selene Vedema Returns to Katikies Garden
After the great success of its revival in September 2022, Selene Vedema is evolving once again into a yearly institution, celebrating the Santorinian vineyard and its people in the magical setting of Selene Restaurant.
It was over a decade ago that the late Giorgos Hatzigiannakis, creator of the emblematic Selene restaurant, brought to life the first Selene Vedema*. A celebration of the unique wines of Santorini, which was destined to become one of the most famous wine exhibitions in Greece, if not the world. But the Selene Vedema was much more than just a wine festival, it was the unitive initiative that brought together all the wine makers of Santorini, coexisting and collaborating under the same roof, and most importantly serving the same purpose: making the island’s wines known to the world.
This significant institution unfortunately ceased to exist a few years ago. But last year the magic of the Santorinian vineyard and its people filled once again the stunning spaces of the iconic Selene, as the Selene Vedema was brought back to life, thanks to the inspired vision and hard work of the restaurant’s new owners in collaboration with Yiannis Karakasis MW.
So, it is with great pride and honor that we now announce the evolution of the Vedema into a yearly institution, serving in the best possible way the wines and the people of Santorini. Vedema 2022, apart from the actual wine exhibition by the wine makers themselves, was enriched with sophisticated workshops, fascinating wine tastings, unique dining experiences, honorable guests from all over the world, inspiring art projects and important happenings and events. And that is exactly how we plan to continue this beautiful journey through the 4.000 years old wine scene of Santorini Island: respecting the past and boldly stepping into the future. Vedema 2023 is going to be the most amazing experience for wine lovers all over the globe, and we invite you to do us the honor and celebrate with us the magnificence of the unique wines of our island.

Katikies Hotels Santorini - Mykonos | Memories upon Memories
A profound journey in Santorini and Mykonos with Katikies Hotels. This video captures the adventure of the hero, guided only by an old note left by his father. The key to the puzzle lies within an old journal, stashed on the distinctive chair of Katikies, symbolic of the extraordinary experiences that await. This video brings to life a powerful manifesto that changes our protagonist's perception of life and time. The wisdom of his father, narrated throughout the video, shares an intriguing concept - that enriching our days with adventure can make time stretch out before us.
Katikies Hotels in Santorini and Mykonos are built on this fascinating idea - providing sensory experiences that can seemingly extend the passage of time. As we fill our lives with moments that ignite our senses, we perceive time differently, making life feel longer, fuller, richer. Immerse yourself in the magic of Santorini and Mykonos and embrace the philosophy of living more and living longer with Katikies Hotels.

Whale Season is here at Kisawa Sanctuary
July marked the official start of humpback whale migration season in the Bazaruto Archipelago. The team at BCSS have already witnessed many sightings, including a group of five male humpbacks escorting a female and calf, off the south of the island last week.
“These majestic marine nomads cover thousands of miles from high-latitude summer feeding grounds, where they take advantage of the food resources of vast swarms of krill that feed on the phytoplankton blooms, to low-latitude winter breeding grounds, with Mozambique Channel being one of those, where they mate, give birth, nurse, and then return,”Katya Kalashnikova, BCSS.
It is a fantastic season to visit Benguerra Island and witness the beauty of the humpback as they make their run along the Mozambique coastline over the next three months.
