SAN FRANCISCO
Art-lovers’ eyes are on the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco, set to open in October in the formerly industrial Dogpatch neighbourhood. With a focus on social justice, it debuts with an installation by painter and sculptor Jeffrey Gibson, of Choctaw and Cherokee heritage, and a group exhibit celebrating Black women across sculpture, photography, painting and textiles.
Over in the historic Civic Center district, meanwhile, the San Francisco Opera company is preparing for its 100th anniversary in September. The centennial celebrations kick off in spectacular fashion with the world premiere of Antony and Cleopatra, a new opera written for the occasion by composer John Adams. It runs until 1 July 2023, alongside new productions and old favourites — plus a roster of special events, including a La traviata-themed party, backstage tours and exhibitions all over the city.

MALDIVES
An archipelago of 1,192 coral islands and 26 turquoise atolls looping across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is home to resorts that cater to every imaginable taste, from barefoot escapes to designer digs. The most convenient to reach are located in the South Malé, North Malé and Vaavu atolls, within speedboat distance of Velana International Airport, while more remote atolls are accessible by seaplane or domestic flight. With easy access to the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Baa and Raa are especially popular. Those around the Equator, including Gaafu Alifu, offer a splendid sense of isolation, abundant marine life and brilliantly starry night skies.
