This story is bananas.

When fashion designer Thao Vu told us about a lost grove of wild bananas deep in the jungles of Vietnam — whose stalks could be transformed into a silklike thread that’s been coveted across Asia for 800 years — I was pretty sure she was joking. It was straight out of Indiana Jones. Then Thao showed me actual photos of the lost banana grove, the epic trek through the jungle, and the stunning ao dai tunic she’d crafted from the cloth. I was hooked.
 
One of Vietnam’s most celebrated designers, Thao and her @kilomet109 label work with artisans from the rural Nùng An community, way up near the Chinese border. But even the older Nùng had never seen wild banana stalks made into silk — or had a clue how one might do so. That’s when a mysterious stranger from Japan entered the picture….
 
Read the whole crazy story at our link in bio. The video is by filmmaker @nongnhatquang, who traced every mesmerizing, muddy step of their improbable journey. (Volume up for the soundtrack, it’s pure jungle ASMR.) Check out @kilomet109 to see more of @v.u.t.h.a.o’s gorgeous and innovative designs.

If you needed more reason to hightail it to the Highlands... This month’s Further has a double shot of Scotch adventures, as @peterjlindberg checks in on Wildland, one of the most ambitious conservation projects Europe has ever seen.

Thanks to light-touch interventions and thoughtful land management, @wildland.scot is already coaxing a swath of the Glenfeshie valley back to lush green life. That’s just the beginning: the founders have a 200-year plan to restore Scotland’s epic landscapes, across 220,000 acres, between the Cairngorms and the Sutherland coast.

On its properties Wildland happens to run some unerringly stylish and inviting hotels, ranging from a Scandi-chic stone farmhouse in the Cairngorms (@killehuntly.scot) to a turreted castle on the shores of Loch Ness (@aldourie.scot).

Swipe through the carousel for a taste of what you’ll find, indoors and out, at these extraordinary retreats. We say run, don’t walk — and *then* you can walk, in that glorious juniper-scented air, for miles and miles, until you find your bliss. And perhaps a free-roaming Highland pony or three.

Marrakech has perhaps too many exquisite hotels to choose from, so we asked Further’s well-traveled friends and correspondents to name their favorites. For a more complete experience, we recommend splitting your time: Spend a few nights in and around the medina, with its intoxicating urban intensity, and a few in one of the magnificent resorts scattered among the palm-studded oases outside town. For more of our insider tips and takes, see @giselaatlarge’s Further Guide to Marrakech via the link in bio.

It might surprise you to learn that until recently, the best restaurants in Marrakech were…not Moroccan. But these days, young chefs are riffing on time-honored recipes and sourcing local, farm-to-table ingredients to create what might be called the New Moroccan Cuisine. Food journalist @tarastevenswrites rounded up six essential places to sample it. Read more — and see more of our in-depth guide to Marrakech — at the link in bio.

On my birthday weekend I’m daydreaming of one of my all-time favorite places: the Amalfi Coast. The limitless views, the sundrenched lemon groves, the bottomless bowls of spaghetti alle vongole, and, of course, those only-in-Amalfi hotels — I just can’t get enough.

So now I’m plotting a return to the plumbago-fringed terrace @BorgoSantandreaAmalfi ... the clifftop infinity pool @MonasteroSantaRosa ... the epic breakfast spread @LeSirenuse … the secluded garden villa tucked into the hillside @Hotel_Santa_Caterina … and not least, the waterfront deck at @RistoranteLoScoglio, where I’ll devour all the ricci di mare and Pepino’s burstingly sweet figs and tomatoes. Summer’s on its way, but September can’t come soon enough.

What’s *your* go-to spot in Italy?#seewhattheworldcando #amalfi #positano #italy #lesirenuse #lesirenusepositano #loscoglio #loscoglionerano #hotelsantacaterina #MonasteroSantaRosa #BorgoSantandrea

On my birthday weekend I’m daydreaming of one of my all-time favorite places: the Amalfi Coast. The limitless views, the sundrenched lemon groves, the bottomless bowls of spaghetti alle vongole, and, of course, those only-in-Amalfi hotels — I just can’t get enough.

So now I’m plotting a return to the plumbago-fringed terrace @BorgoSantandreaAmalfi ... the clifftop infinity pool @MonasteroSantaRosa ... the epic breakfast spread @LeSirenuse … the secluded garden villa tucked into the hillside @Hotel_Santa_Caterina … and not least, the waterfront deck at @RistoranteLoScoglio, where I’ll devour all the ricci di mare and Pepino’s burstingly sweet figs and tomatoes. Summer’s on its way, but September can’t come soon enough.

Where’s the love for Kolkata? Travelers tend to focus their India itineraries on the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, the glitter of Mumbai, or the laid-back coastal vibes of Goa and Kerala. Yet those who know the former Calcutta celebrate its uniqueness: as a traditional yet forward-looking city, and the longtime intellectual and literary capital of India. Today Kolkata is writing a whole new chapter, as chefs rewrite the rules of tradition, while bartenders get creative with their cocktails, fueling the endless nightlife….just a few of the reasons you should get yourself to Kolkata ASAP, says @jyoti.kumari.

The Highlands defy comprehension — no wonder Scottish legends credit mythical creatures with shaping the improbable terrain.

When David and Kavi Moltz launched their beloved fragrance brand D.S. & Durga, the tagline was “Perfume as Armchair Travel.” 17 years on, travel is still the heart and soul of @dsanddurga: Each transportive scent is its own world, alluding to places far-flung and familiar…
