The Jungle Is the New Wellness Retreat in 2026: Why Celebrities Are Quietly Choosing Luxury Safari Wellness

There’s a certain kind of silence in the jungle that luxury hotels can never manufacture. A silence broken only by rustling leaves, distant birdsong, the soft crackle of a bonfire, and somewhere far away, the low warning call that signals a tiger is near. As dawn light spills across the golden forests of the National Park, the world suddenly feels slower, quieter, almost suspended in time — and perhaps that’s exactly why some of the world’s most visible people are escaping into the wild. At TheGlitz, we believe this is where luxury stops performing and starts feeling.

International Tea Day: Your Chai Break Knows More Than You Think

On International Tea Day, the humble chai break gets its moment — and it turns out this small, unhurried pause from screens may be doing more for your eyesight than any wellness product you have ever bought. We live in what Dr. Himanshu Mehta, senior ophthalmologist at ASG The Vission Eye Center, calls a phygital world, where the physical and digital have become so tangled that stepping away takes a conscious effort. "It is the simple pleasures that help us step away from screens and reconnect with people and nature," he says. "The ubiquitous chai break is a perfect example of engaging with people while also giving a break to our eyes."

Summer Lovin’ 2026 – Sun’s Out, Sass Out: Your Ultimate Glow-Getter Guide to a Chic Summer

Summer is almost here... and with it comes that unapologetic, sun-drenched energy we secretly (or not so secretly) live for. Think golden hour selfies, breezy brunches, beachy escapes, and skin that looks like it’s been kissed by the sun… not punished by it.

LOSE The Weight, KEEP The Face — DR GEETA GREWAL Tells You How

Dr Geeta Grewal's clinic has proof that losing weight and losing your face don't have to be the same. The secret is not a dramatic intervention.

PHURR Gives Hapus Mangoes a Spicy, Sassy Summer Makeover — And Honestly, We’re Obsessed

This summer, PHURR is taking Maharashtra’s beloved Hapus mango and throwing it straight into the fire — quite literally. The Bengaluru hotspot has unveiled a limited-edition vegetarian menu that explores the wildly unexpected side of Alphonso mangoes, proving once and for all that this iconic summer fruit can do far more than sit pretty inside desserts.

CEYLON FINDS A HOME AT 1882, DOUBLETREE BY HILTON BENGALURU

Ceylon arrived at 1882, DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield, and it arrived in full colour. TheGlitz walked in just three days before the Sri Lankan Food Festival wrapped up, and what unfolded over the course of that evening was food that felt less like a festival and more like a memory someone was generously sharing.

A Sri Lankan Table at Maize and Malt

A Sri Lankan table doesn't arrive quietly. At Maize and Malt, it arrived with Priya Bala behind it and that changed everything. I walked in a vegetarian, navigated a feast curated with the kind of honesty that makes food writing feel inadequate, and left with the quiet certainty that Whitefield just got a great deal more interesting.

This May arrived differently. So did Mother’s Day.

Mother's Day brings the season's most significant new launches together in one place. From first drops to forever pieces, shop it for her and keep some for yourself.

By Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-chief, TheGlitz I’ve known Deepika Padukone for a long time... from the very beginning... long before the superstardom, the global acclaim, the red carpets that now feel almost second skin to her. I was a rookie journalist working in one of India's best women's magazines 'SAVVY. And Deepika Padukone was just started off on her starry journey.

Ranveer Singh, Unfiltered: Before the Craze, There Was the Quiet Storm

I’m writing this deeply personal piece on Ranveer Singh because beyond the blinding arc lights and the deafening frenzy lies a man far more layered, vulnerable, and real than the superstar we celebrate. Having met him at a time when the noise hadn’t yet reached a crescendo, I witnessed the silences, the struggles, and the sincerity that don’t make it to headlines.

At TheGlitz, we believe that there are destinations that impress... and then there are those that linger. Morocco belongs firmly to the latter. Here, luxury doesn’t announce itself in grand gestures; it reveals itself slowly... in the hush of a candlelit riad, in the rhythmic artistry of a master craftsman, in the vast, golden silence of the desert. At the forefront of shaping this narrative is Jamal Younes Kilito, Country Manager – India at the Moroccan National Tourism Office (MNTO).
