Te Travel Guide - brought to you by APL Media • Wednesday 11 February 2026 ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE Ett Hem — a place to belong


In a time when travel is increasingly about meaning rather than movement, Ett Hem offers something quietly radical: a sense of belonging


Set within a former private residence that was built in 1910, this intimate boutique hotel in Stockholm redefines luxury as warmth, calm and genuine connection. Ett Hem was created for travellers


seeking something more personal than the traditional luxury hotel. Its Arts and Crafts architecture has been carefully preserved, with interiors shaped by objects, books and art that carry real histories. Interior designer Ilse Crawford, involved since the beginning, worked closely with owner Jeanette Mix to ensure the house retained its original soul while meeting the needs of modern, globally minded guests. Life at Ett Hem unfolds naturally


around shared spaces. The kitchen is the heart of the house, where chefs prepare seasonal dishes using local produce, and guests gather as they would in a private home. The courtyard garden offers a rare sense of seclusion in the city, while dedicated wellbeing spaces provide room for mindful practice, movement and restoration. Stockholm itself reflects this same desire for balance. As travellers plan


their 2026 journeys, the Swedish capital stands out as a destination that combines culture, nature and quality of life with ease. Summer opens onto the archipelago and long, light-filled evenings. Autumn sharpens the city’s creative energy through design, food and the arts. Winter is embraced through candlelit dining, sauna rituals and a slower, more reflective pace. Spring brings renewal, light and movement back to the streets and waterfronts. Located in a peaceful residential


neighbourhood yet close to Stockholm’s cultural centre, Ett Hem offers a refined base from which to explore the city year-round. For an affluent, travel-savvy audience, it represents a new kind of luxury, rooted in comfort, humanity and a deep sense of place.

Angola: world-class landscapes and cultural richness without the crowds


Imagine a stretch of wild Atlantic coastline where sand dunes rise more than 100 metres above the ocean


Angola has landscapes as dramatic as Namibia’s Skeleton Coast or Sossusvlei, yet largely unknown beyond the region. Inland, dramatic escarpments give way to waterfalls of astonishing scale, their thunder and spray inviting comparisons


with Victoria Falls. Elsewhere, ancient rock formations evoke the monumental presence of Jordan’s Petra or Zimbabwe’s Matobo Hills. This is Angola: a country of


remarkable natural variety, where white-sand beaches meet imposing black mountains, and rare species such as the giant sable antelope still roam. In the arid south, the strange, prehistoric welwitschia plant survives where little else can. In the cities, the sensuous rhythm of kizomba spills from clubs and street corners alike. Angola’s cultural diversity is


equally compelling. Encounters with communities such as the Mwila, Muhimba, Herero, Vatua and Mucubal peoples offer an insight into traditions that remain deeply rooted in place. For now, these exchanges tend to be marked by curiosity on both sides — visitors are still an exception rather than the rule. That sense of space and solitude


is part of Angola’s appeal. Despite its abundance of headline-worthy sights, tourism here remains minimal. Viewing platforms at Kalandula Falls, for example, are


often empty, offering uninterrupted views of one of Africa’s most impressive cascades. It’s not difficult to imagine a future in which such places become familiar backdrops for social media feeds, but that moment has yet to arrive. The country’s relaxed, welcoming


atmosphere can feel surprising given its history. Angola’s long civil war, which ended in 2002,


shaped a generation. Today, however, visitors are more likely to encounter a population focused on peace, hospitality and a laid-back enjoyment of daily life. For travellers drawn to places that


still feel genuinely under the radar, Angola offers something increasingly rare: world-class landscapes and cultural richness without the crowds. How long that will last is an open question. For now, the country remains quietly confident, content to reveal its treasures only to those willing to seek them out.
