Each week, Elevated Weekly explores the escapes, objects, rituals and experiences shaping the future of contemporary luxury through a carefully curated edit of global discoveries. Four signals. One weekly edit.
From a design-led retreat overlooking the Aegean Sea and a capsule collection celebrating nearly two centuries of craftsmanship to a new destination for personalised skincare in Geneva and a watch boutique set high above the Swiss Alps, this week’s selection highlights how design, heritage and a strong sense of place continue to shape the way we travel, collect and experience luxury today.

The Escape: Milos Welcomes a New Design-Led Hideaway
Empiria Group has expanded its Cycladic portfolio with the opening of Eréma, its first property on Milos. The hotel features 41 private-pool suites overlooking the Aegean Sea, with architecture informed by the island’s volcanic landscape. The experience extends to Akiton, where renowned chef Yiannis Kioroglou interprets the property’s Medite-Grecian philosophy through seasonal ingredients, panoramic sunset views and a dining concept closely connected to the island’s character.

The Object: Loewe Marks 180 Years with a Collector’s Capsule
To celebrate its 180th anniversary, Loewe has unveiled a capsule collection spanning bags, accessories, knitwear and T-shirts that revisit key moments from the brand’s heritage. Highlights include the Puzzle bag and Amazonia tote featuring a lion motif commissioned from British artist David Shrigley, a contemporary interpretation of the emblem linked to the house’s origins as a Madrid leather workshop in 1846.
The Ritual: A New Address for Biologique Recherche Opens in Geneva
Personalised skincare takes centre stage with the arrival of Geneva’s first Ambassade Biologique Recherche at Mandarin Oriental, Geneva. Designed as a dedicated destination for the French skincare house’s diagnostic-led treatments, the space offers bespoke facial and body protocols tailored to individual skin conditions.
The Experience: The World’s Highest Rolex Boutique Opens in the Swiss Alps
More than 3,000 metres above sea level, a new Rolex boutique is redefining the retail experience in the Swiss Alps. Located within the newly transformed Titlis Tower and operated by Bucherer, the space combines watchmaking with destination-driven design. Created by Herzog & de Meuron, the tower incorporates a repurposed telecommunications structure, panoramic observation decks and floor-to-ceiling views across the Bernese Alps, turning a visit to the boutique into part of a broader alpine journey.
