The Colonial, the fine dining restaurant at The Anam Cam Ranh, has launched an exquisite six-course degustation menu that elevates Vietnamese ingredients with refined French techniques. Crafted by Executive Chef Duy Anh Nguyen, the menu takes diners on a gastronomic journey through a fusion of flavors, textures, and premium ingredients.

Set in an elegant space featuring an open kitchen, a grand piano, and lush courtyard gardens, The Colonial provides a sophisticated ambiance for this new culinary experience. The menu includes a mix of fresh seafood, dry-aged meats, and vibrant local produce, all presented with an artistic flair.

The dining experience begins with an amuse-bouche featuring a giant clam with sausage and daikon jams, complemented by a caramelized miso glaze, herbs, and salmon roe. Accompanying this is a Vietnamese beef tartare with caramelized cashew, fish sauce, crispy garlic, and betel leaf.

A standout entrée follows—salted mackerel with fermented star fruit, sour broth, chrysanthemum, and coriander oil. The first main course features a rich and flavorful 14-day dry-aged duck breast, paired with pumpkin flower, black apple amazake, and a brown butter fermented tofu sauce. A palate cleanser of mango and passion fruit sorbet with oolong tea cordial and yellow raisin refreshes the taste buds before the next dish.

The second main course highlights a grain-fed, 150-day Black Angus tenderloin, served with eggplant puree and beef jus infused with homemade chili and basil. This is accompanied by the fragrant Vietnamese ST25 rice, complemented by corn and green beans.

For dessert, guests can indulge in Tahini ice cream with sesame chips, caramelized hajikami, coconut milk sauce, and a traditional Nha Trang tofu pudding.

To enhance the experience, an optional wine pairing features selections from Australia, France, and Italy, carefully curated to complement each course.

“Vietnamese cuisine is celebrated for its rich and vibrant ingredients, from aromatic herbs to bold spices,” said Chef Duy Anh. “Our menu showcases these elements with a refined French influence, creating a dining experience that is both authentic and innovative.”

A Fusion of Tradition and Luxury

Inspired by Vietnam’s Indochine-era aesthetics, The Colonial is a reflection of European culinary sophistication infused with local flavors. Situated near The Anam Cam Ranh’s open-air lobby, the restaurant serves as a premium breakfast venue and a club lounge for guests in select suites and villas before transforming into a fine dining destination at night.

The Anam Cam Ranh continues to garner global recognition, recently earning a spot on Fodor’s Finest Hotels list for 2025, ranking it among the top 100 hotels worldwide.

As Tomorrowland prepares to return in 2026, Revel Travels is continuing its role as the exclusive official travel partner for India and the UAE, further strengthening a partnership that has developed steadily over the years.

Held in Boom, Tomorrowland has grown far beyond a music festival to become one of the world’s most recognised cultural experiences, bringing together music, large-scale stage productions, storytelling, and immersive entertainment. The 2026 edition will take place across two weekends, from July 17–19 and July 24–26.

For travellers from India and the UAE, Revel Travels plays a key role by offering official ticket access sourced directly from Tomorrowland. In a market where demand remains extremely high and ticket authenticity is often a concern, this official allocation gives travellers added confidence and reliability.

The company’s 4 Nights / 5 Days travel packages, and are designed as complete travel experiences rather than simple bookings. Guests can choose from multiple stay options, including the immersive DreamVille camping experience, centrally located hotels, and premium luxury stays such as Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp. The portfolio also includes exclusive private villas that are generally difficult to access for regular festival attendees.

At the premium end, the experience extends into luxury hospitality offerings with private villa buyouts, curated hosting environments, private boxes, and exclusive tables. These experiences can move into five-figure USD pricing, catering to travellers looking for privacy, elevated service, and premium festival access. Dedicated transfers, priority movement, and specialised pick-up and drop-off arrangements are also included for premium-zone guests.

A major focus of Revel Travels’ offering is creating a seamless journey for travellers. From visa support and round-the-clock on-ground assistance to personal delivery of Tomorrowland bracelets directly to hotels or DreamVille campsites, the company aims to simplify every stage of the experience.

Festival access is available through two pass categories, Full Madness Pass and Full Madness Comfort Pass, giving guests the option to choose between standard and upgraded entry experiences.

Speaking about the company’s approach, Sahil Wahid, Director, Revel Travel, said, “We've built our reputation on one simple promise, authentic access. Every ticket we provide comes directly from Tomorrowland through an official allocation, which removes the uncertainty that often surrounds high-demand global events. For our travellers, that assurance is as important as the experience itself.

We've always focused on simplifying what is otherwise a complex global experience. Tomorrowland is something people plan for years in advance. Our role is to ensure that once they decide to go, everything else, from access to on-ground execution, feels effortless and reliable.”

As global demand for Tomorrowland continues to grow, Revel Travels has positioned itself as more than a travel company, offering travellers curated access to one of the world’s most sought-after festival experiences.

adidas and Saudia Launch ‘Made to Fly’ Travel Pack

adidas and Saudia Launch ‘Made to Fly’ Travel Pack

Published on May 6, 2026

adidas and Saudia have come together to introduce the ‘Made to Fly’ travel pack, marking a first-of-its-kind collaboration that brings sportswear and aviation into one space. The collection officially launched in retail on April 20 across Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Morocco.

Saudia, as the national flag carrier of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has played an important role in shaping the region’s travel experience over the years. By partnering with adidas, the collaboration aims to connect travel with modern sportswear, while appealing to a younger generation that sees travel as part of their lifestyle.

The collection is built on adidas’ SOFT LUX line, which focuses on clean design, premium materials and a refined look. With this collaboration, the classic tracksuit is reimagined as a modern travel essential, designed to suit both comfort and style.

Subtle design elements inspired by aviation and Saudi culture are woven into the collection, giving it a distinct identity while keeping the overall look minimal and contemporary. The idea is to create pieces that feel easy to wear, yet polished enough for different travel moments.

The garments are crafted using peached spacer fabric with modal and enhanced with a liquid cotton treatment, giving them a smooth texture and a soft feel. This makes the collection suitable for long journeys, airport transitions and everyday wear.

Speaking about the collaboration, Bilal Fares, SVP and GM, adidas EMC, said, “This collaboration allowed us to reinterpret one of adidas’ most refined sportswear lines through the lens of travel, alongside a brand that has shaped the Kingdom’s travel culture for generations. By bringing together Saudia’s connection to movement and adidas’ sportswear heritage, we created a collection that feels elevated, effortless and relevant to today’s consumer.”

The ‘Made to Fly’ pack blends elements of fashion, travel and movement, positioning the tracksuit as a modern-day travel uniform. It reflects how today’s travellers see their journeys not just as a way to move, but also as an expression of identity and personal style.

Khaled Tash, Saudia Group Chief Marketing Officer, added, “For 80 years, Saudia has connected the Kingdom to the world. Today, travel is no longer defined only by destinations, but by identity, culture, and self-expression. Building on our 2023 rebrand, which marked a new chapter in our global journey, we are expanding our brand presence beyond aviation into culture and lifestyle. Our collaboration with adidas brings these elements together, transforming movement into a statement of modern Saudi ambition and capturing the confidence and creativity shaping the Kingdom today.”

The adidas x Saudia ‘Made to Fly’ travel pack is available at select adidas stores across the region and online, offering a fresh take on travel-ready fashion.
