EDITOR’S LETTER A VIEW FROM T HE TOP Right: Adventure beckons at Jebel Hafeet, a cave-filled mountain near Abu Dhabi. A SEASON FOR TRAVEL As a mother, I especially enjoyed “Desert Hearts” (page 64), which follows a young family to southern Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, where cactuses and campﬁres meet spa time and water slides. And those looking to tune up their tennis game should follow writer Jay Jennings as he gets a few pointers from legend Cliff Drysdale at his renowned clinic in Key Biscayne, Fla. (page 74). There’s so much more to read — and so many great places to visit. Wherever your travels take you this year, may they be safe and memorable. Jamie M.

FROM LEFT: MICHAEL TUREK; KEN EASLEY S Spring has arrived, and it’s one of my favorite times of year to travel. From Miami to Muscat, the world’s great destinations beckon with heavenly weather, blooming ﬂowers and renewed energy. This issue of The Ritz-Carlton Magazine surveys it all, with a little something for every type of traveler. Those looking for the exotic should peruse our exclusive photo essay “Enter Abu Dhabi” (page 80). The Middle Eastern city has long been a romanticized destination, and it has evolved into a heady mix of rich Arab culture and modern style. I love this issue’s fashion pictorial, “Elle Dorado” (page 94), which was shot on location at the new Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. The resort truly feels like a secret “hideaway,” and the photography captures the property’s beautiful locale and chic architecture and design. http://www.RITZCARLTON.COM/MAGAZINE http://WWW.RITZCARLTON.COM
