Travel
Into the WILD
The ethically and environmentally focused travel group Time + Tide welcomes two properties—both plunged deep
into local African ecosystems—to their portfolio of luxury lodgings. King Lewanika Lodge, the first permanent
campsite in Zambia’s Liuwa Plain National Park, a mecca for rare birds, features six luxury villas designed with a nod
to 1920s safaris (old-school sink basins, steamer trunks, khaki linens). Off the Madagascan coast, meanwhile, is
the private island resort of Miavana. While guests’ first impressions are formed from above (the island is accessible
solely via helicopter), on the ground the ocean gives way to fourteen beachfront villas constructed with local
honey-pink limestone. Explore the area on a marine-based Blue Safari before heading to the beach piazza, where
things get lively on the breezy rooftop dance floor and culminate with a midnight dip in the infinity pool.— L.R.
Movies
GOING Rogue
Movies are suddenly in love with women who
make trouble. In the uproarious Rough Night,
a gender-flipping riff on guy pictures like The
Hangover, Scarlett Johansson plays a politician
whose Miami bachelorette party gets way out
of hand. While Lucia Aniello’s feature directorial
debut doesn’t quite scale the heights of
Bridesmaids, it’s carried by Kate McKinnon’s
off-kilter Aussie and Jillian Bell’s hardcore girl
crush. You’ll be squirming during Miguel Arteta’s
Beatriz at Dinner, a Trump-era comedy starring
Salma Hayek as a holistic healer who gets
roped into a 1 percenters’ dinner for an Earth-
despoiling real estate tycoon (John Lithgow),
then can’t hide her righteous detestation of
him. A sly film that questions how to battle a
monster without becoming one yourself. — J.P.
