King wipes away tears as he becomes first British head of state to visit Auschwitz on Holocaust Memorial Day

Charles joins dignitaries from around the world to mark 80th anniversary of liberation of N**i concentration camp while Prince and Princess of Wales attend service in London alongside Keir Starmer.

The King wiped away tears as he became the first British head of state to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, joining dignitaries from around the world to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the N**i concentration camp on Holocaust Memorial Day.

The British monarch was seen shedding a tear during a service at the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum and memorial in Poland on Monday afternoon. He bowed his head as he placed a candle at the site on behalf of the UK, alongside foreign monarchs, presidents, prime ministers and Holocaust survivors.

Earlier, Charles visited the heart of Krakow’s Jewish community, speaking with Holocaust survivors and issuing a warning to the world that remembering the “evils of the past remains a vital task” as he met those who lived through one of humanity’s darkest eras.

Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales hugged and held hands with Holocaust survivors as she and her husband attended official commemorations to mark the memorial day at Guildhall in central London, with the Prince of Wales describing their attendance as “a great honour”.

The Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival has established itself as one of the world’s largest, with almost 500 events across 89 venues in 6 days kicking off this year from April 30th.

A preview of all the events launched on 24th January, with tickets going on sale from 12 noon next Monday 3rd February.

Now in its 26th year, reflecting on last year’s record-breaking event, sales were up 23% with just over 8,400 tickets sold and visitors coming far and wide from 39 different countries.

An economic impact assessment revealed that the 2024 Festival generated over £2.2million to the local economy during the festival and supported around 20 full-time jobs.

Henry Angus is to take over the tenure as Chair from George McNeil for this year’s Festival. A well-respected figure in Speyside, his career spans across established companies in Morayshire and Aberdeenshire. After a long-standing relationship with the Festival, he recently joined the Board and is looking forward to taking the helm and helping further elevate its stature.

Henry said, “Last year was record-breaking and the spotlight was firmly on Speyside. This is the most populous whisky region with the greatest array of distilleries at any festival globally. It brings together whisky fans, distillers and visitors that love this beautiful part of the world. From masterclasses to music, from quizzes to fireside gatherings, from culture to history the calendar is full of opportunities to share the water of life with fellow whisky lovers, aficionados and people that just enjoy a dram.”

With 28 villages and towns in Moray Speyside, many of the 51 distilleries will throw open their doors including a number that are usually closed to the public. Characterised by rolling patchwork hills, a terrain that epitomises the whisky produced and the meandering River Spey that lends its waters to making some of the world’s finest whisky, this Festival has it all.

The event will kick off with an industry dinner on Wed 30th April, co-hosted by Speyside Distillers Ltd followed by the annual ceilidh on 2nd May for visitors to the Festival. Both events will take place for the first time at the Macdonald Highlands Hotel, in Aviemore. Usually pre-sold, a rare opportunity to secure a spot at the Spirit of Speyside Whisky School will launch this year, along with the ticket sales.

A SELECTION OF EVENTS INCLUDE;

Spirit of Speyside Whisky School – a 3-and-a-half-day programme where visitors can explore the history, science, and craftsmanship behind Scotch whisky.

Whisky & Waves – join Murray McDavid at their beach huts in Findhorn where you can paint the scenery and sip on drams.

The Cabrach Land of The Wild Spirit – Speyside’s newest distillery for an intimate tour.

The Malt Master Tour hosted by Brian Kinsman - tour the Glenfiddich Distillery with Brian and enjoy a tutored master class with the man himself.

HQ Hotels & Residences, the groundbreaking, innovative lifestyle hospitality brand spearheaded by visionary entrepreneur Sam Nazarian through a strategic alliance with Wyndham and its Registry Collection Hotels brand, today announced the opening of its debut resort: Hodges Bay Resort and Spa, a HQ Luxury Resort and Residences. Nestled on the coast of Northern Antigua, its arrival sets the stage for an ambitious pipeline of future HQ openings and marks the start of what is expected to quickly become a carefully curated portfolio of luxury lifestyle hotels and resorts—each meticulously tailored to the needs of the modern traveler.

Sam Nazarian, Founder & CEO of sbe: “As it begins its new chapter, Hodges Bay Resort and Spa will be transformed into a global beacon, attracting a new generation of aspirational travelers through an unrivaled social hub, unbeatable atmosphere and memorable vacation experiences, particularly for Wyndham’s over 110 million enrolled loyalty members.

Geoff Ballotti, CEO of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts: “Owners today are looking for turn-key solutions and that’s exactly what HQ Hotels offers, combining sbe’s legendary lifestyle experiences with the unmatched scale and resources of Wyndham, the world’s largest hotel franchisor. It’s a one-of-a-kind offering and one we believe has the potential to dramatically change the luxury lifestyle landscape.”

Jeff Wellemeyer, Chairman of Hodges Bay Resort and Spa: “We are thrilled to bring sbe’s energy, imagination, and expertise to Hodges Bay. Antigua and Barbuda is on the cusp of becoming a premier destination in the Caribbean, and we are excited to combine sbe’s operational excellence, world-class restaurant concepts, and unparalleled service to establish Hodges Bay as one of the most sought-after destinations in the region.”

The Hon. H. Charles Fernandez, Minister of Tourism for Antigua and Barbuda: “This strategic and internationally renowned alliance will not only bolster the quality of the Hodge’s Bay brand but will firmly cement Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism product as first world and top class in accommodations. We welcome the partnership, and we urge you to invest in the elevation of your existing human resource capacity as this and infrastructural development goes hand in hand for the continued advancement of our tourism industry.”

Hodges Bay Resort and Spa sits within eight acres of lush tropical gardens among some of the world’s most pristine coral sand beaches. Leveraging over two decades of sbe’s expertise and proven success in lifestyle hospitality and entertainment, HQ Hotels will bring a plethora of innovative culinary and mixology experiences as well as entertainment programming to the property from sbe’s subsidiaries, Disruptive Restaurant Group and Everybody Eats. Concepts will include the debut of Katsuya Beach by Chef Katsuya Uechi and Hecho Libre by Chef Wes Avila, as well as the highly anticipated return of storied day-nightlife and dining establishment XIV Beach Club.

XIV Beach Club
XIV was dubbed America’s most “exclusive” day club by the Los Angeles Times. The brand has transformed into a national phenomenon that includes the original XIV Summer Sessions in Los Angeles beginning every May, to seasonal Fall and Winter parties in such locales as Las Vegas and Miami. XIV Beach Club at Hodges Bay will reimagine the storied experience on the Atlantic sands of the property’s breathtaking beach club islet, Prickly Pear Island.

KATSUYA BEACH BY CHEF KATSUYA UECHI
Marking the 12th location globally, and the debut of Katsuya Beach at Hodges Bay Resort and Spa will continue the nearly 20-year tradition of excellence led by Chef Katsuya Uechi that has brought his concept international acclaim. Katsuya Beach will deliver a celebration of Katsuya’s classics with a new menu designed specifically for the spectacular beachfront venue at Hodges Bay.

HECHO LIBRE BY CHEF WES AVILA
Brand-new concept Hecho Libre was born from award-winning, James Beard Foundation Award Finalist, Chef Wes Avila (MXO, Guerilla Tacos, Angry Egret Dinette, KA’TEEN, Piopiko) and restaurateur Giancarlo Pagani (Mother Wolf, MARS, MXO, Citizen News Events). Inspired by the Baja Region of Mexico, Chef Wes Avila’s Hecho Libre aims to connect communities with quality-driven Mexican food and chef-crafted recipes melding health and taste to craft unforgettable dishes for the discerning modern traveler. This concept represents the second restaurant partnership between sbe and the lauded chef, the first being MXO, a contemporary Mexican Steakhouse that successfully opened in September 2024 in Los Angeles.

THE RESORT
Nestled on eight acres of lush tropical gardens and a pristine sandy beach, Hodges Bay Resort & Spa is a luxurious beachfront retreat and residential haven on Antigua’s stunning north shore. This exclusive resort features 79 thoughtfully designed accommodations, including spacious suites, expansive rooftop penthouses with private infinity pools, opulent residences, and luxurious oceanfront villas.

Since its debut in 2019, Hodges Bay has rapidly earned its place as a premier destination for celebrities and discerning travelers seeking an unparalleled escape. The award-winning property is renowned for its private island beach club, world-class contemporary art collection, and distinction as one of the most “Instagrammed Hotels in the World,” Hodges Bay offers a truly unforgettable experience of elegance, privacy, and indulgence.

THE RESIDENCES
Hodges Bay also offers travelers the opportunity to own a piece of paradise, featuring a number of one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury residences. With spectacular ocean views, large outdoor patios, and fully equipped kitchens, guests will enjoy a private, personal escape alongside all of the amenities the resort has to offer.

HQ Hotels plans to open 50 hotels globally by 2031, 50% of which will be Stateside. The name ‘HQ’ is born from the concept that HQ Hotels will be in the heart of the cities they launch in, serving as the ‘headquarters’ for exceptional experiences. Through a strategic alliance with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, all HQ Hotels are also part of the Registry Collection Hotels brand, unlocking access to best-in-class sales, distribution and technology, as well as Wyndham Rewards, the #1 hotel rewards program as named by USA Today and U.S. News and World Report.

CABOT CITRUS FARMS CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING AS FLORIDA’S NEWEST LUXURY GOLF DESTINATION
The Cabot Collection, renowned for its incomparable portfolio of luxury resort and residential golf destinations, announces the grand opening of Cabot Citrus Farms, a 1,200-acre sanctuary nestled among the rolling hills, ancient moss-covered oaks and sand pines of Florida’s picturesque Nature Coast. Marking the brand’s illustrious U.S. debut, the property features two revitalized 18-hole golf courses, two unique shorter courses, luxury real estate and nightly accommodations, curated experiences and a host of amenities.

“The former World Woods Golf Club always stood out to me for its enchanting setting and dramatic elevation changes unlike anything I’d ever seen across the state of Florida,” said Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot. “It has been an honour to reimagine this iconic site alongside our amazing team. We drew inspiration from the property’s rich history and natural beauty to create a destination that will bring people together through incredible golf experiences, outdoor adventures and a strong sense of community.”

Golf:
Set against a one-of-a-kind landscape in the Sunshine State, Cabot Citrus Farms features four unique and meticulously designed golf courses complemented by unparalleled practice facilities, including a two-acre putting course and a driving range with Trackman technology.

Karoo
Karoo is an 18-hole “adventure golf” masterpiece designed by architect Kyle Franz, showcasing some of the world’s widest Bermuda fairways, expansive greens, multiple routes to pins and bold contours that encourage creative play. The course’s namesake stems from the loud trumpeting sound, described as a rolling “karoo,” made by its resident Sandhill Cranes. Karoo was recently featured as the cover star of GOLF Magazine’s November/December 2024 issue, where it debuted as No. 32 in the “Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S.” ranking.

Roost
The second 18-hole course, Roost, takes golfers on a journey back in time to the relaxed charm of Old Florida with canopies of moss-draped trees, sandy soil and tranquil setting. The course peacefully flows across sandy scrublands and rolling meadows featuring rare 50-foot elevation changes and a 40-foot-deep sinkhole. The majesty of century-old live oaks encourage careful shot-shaping, while four bunkerless holes reflect the abundance of natural features. Inspired by the rare, historic achievements of great collaborations in golf history, Roost was synergistically designed by Mike Nuzzo and Kyle Franz, along with Ran Morrissett as Golf Course Architecture Advisor. Together they established the routing and brought in the legendary Rod Whitman to produce a diverse set of greens that are unified yet distinct. This collaborative vision showcases the land as the star of the 7,200-yard course for a serene yet captivating golf experience. Named for the wild turkeys that roam the course and roost in its gorgeous 100-year-old oaks, Roost is set beside farmland where cows graze under shady trees—the very picture of bucolic bliss.

The Squeeze
For those looking to enjoy more golf in less time, The Squeeze is a dynamic 10-hole course that blends diverse, dramatic terrain with a relaxed, celebratory atmosphere. Designed by Mike Nuzzo, this unconventional course features half-par holes alongside par 3s, par 4s, and par 5s, each presenting distinct challenges. Balancing playful whimsy with strategic intrigue, The Squeeze delivers an engaging experience for golfers of all ages.

The Wedge
Small on size but big on golf, The Wedge, also designed by Nuzzo, is an 11-hole par-3 course, providing a unique, immersive experience with expansive waste areas, sloping greens and varied lies. Showcasing speakers and low-profile lighting, The Wedge creates a lively atmosphere, allowing golfers to enjoy the course past dark.

Real Estate and Accommodations:
Citrus Farms offers a collection of elegantly appointed homes available for purchase, including charming two- and four-bedroom Cottages alongside a selection of two-story Fairway Homes. Carefully situated along the 10th hole of Roost, the Fairway Homes reflect the essence of Cabot Citrus Farms, celebrating the vibrant and playful spirit of Florida living. Each home extends the experience outdoors with large al fresco spaces, peaceful views and a private pool for ultimate relaxation.

Bathed in natural light, residences boast timeless interiors, elevated furnishings and a seamless connection with the outdoors. Each home has a harmonious blend of tranquility and luxury, inviting guests to unwind and reconnect with nature. A limited number of homes remain for sale starting at $1.8 million for Cottages and $3.7 million for Fairway Homes. For resort guests, accommodations are available for nightly rental with pricing starting at $1,250 per night through June 2025.

Amenities and Activities:
Owners and guests currently enjoy fully stocked comfort stations, a golf pro shop, sporting club and The Porch, an area to gather and relax with games and food and beverage options. The Grange Hall serves as a clubhouse and central gathering space featuring a diverse menu, indoor and outdoor seating areas, coffee shop, bar and a cozy outdoor firepit lounge. Additional amenities to follow this year include a racquet club with tennis, pickleball and padel and adult and family pool areas.

Cabot Citrus Farms’ new sporting club offers axe throwing with custom-built targets; Five Stand shooting, a compact version of a sporting clays course; archery for all skill levels; and bass fishing with hands-on instruction and all-inclusive fishing gear for a memorable catch-and-release adventure. Visitors will also delight in one-of-a-kind experiences including exceptional hiking, biking and nature trails at neighboring Withlacoochee State Forest, water sports such as canoeing, kayaking and paddle-boarding in spring-fed rivers and bountiful lakes at Crystal River, world-class fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and much more.

Sustainability
With sustainability at its core, Cabot is the first multi-property brand to enroll every golf course and surrounding built environment into Audubon International’s comprehensive, all-inclusive Platinum Signature Sanctuary certification program. The entire Cabot Citrus Farms property is under one certification umbrella, including golf courses, clubhouse facilities, lodging, real estate, restaurants and retail.

Located just 50 minutes from Tampa and 80 minutes from Orlando, Cabot Citrus Farms offers the perfect balance of laid-back southern charm and urban accessibility.
