Pack and prepare for an unrelenting assault on the senses in the most colourful of nations.
India can get both glary and dusty. These sunnies will protect you against both and look damn fine to boot. The price point is also such a winner that you could actually afford a few pairs to match to different outfits should the mood strike.
Matching sets are so on trend right now and this terry shirt set’s macadamia shade brings a sense of elegance. The motif nods to Indian architecture and the silhouette is ideal for warmer temps.
The new SS ’23 resort sarongs from Mister Zimi are lightweight so they dry quickly, and feature bold prints. They’re our new must-have accessory for summer.
This bag is the perfect size to hold your beauty essentials on holiday. We love that it has a water-resistant lining in case there are explosions in transit.
Fewer destinations are more visually astounding than India and if you want a decent chance at capturing a slice of the colour, your phone’s camera will most likely not do it justice. Enter the Nikon Zf. A range of new presets – like Denim, Somber and Deep Tone Monochrome – give your shots a pro finish while the 4K video can run for 125 minutes of recording time on a single charge.
Super-cute shade aside, this bag is ideal for carry-on travellers as it slots neatly under the seat in front of you, also fits a laptop and includes a detachable shoulder strap. Bonus points for the leather details and back sleeve to slot over a suitcase handle.
Fact: the water supply in India can pose health issues. Sidestep any threats of Delhi belly with this 600ml stainless steel container that keeps liquid cold for 60 hours. A thumbs up too for Ecovessel making 100 per cent recyclable products and donating five per cent of all website sales to environmental non-profits.
There aren’t many scents inspired by India but this one blends warm woods like cedar and sandalwood with iris and coconut before adding a dash of the unusual with hints of copper and boronia.
If you want to gain a deeper sense of the place you’re visiting, there are few better guides than Patrick French. Society, politics, culture, food and even fashion are all in his purview. Fascinating.
The Spanish island is one of Europe’s hottest hot spots, but you may be better off visiting in shoulder season.
You’re never too busy for your health
