Through the April Lens

Every month, one of our Slojourn crew members brings you a little window into what's happening at the Studio — the newest offerings, the freshest news, and everything worth celebrating. This April, that window is Nina's, and right now, hers looks out over the West Australian coastline, from a campervan, surrounded by her favourite people.

We recently hosted the renowned recycled fashion show at Song Saa and have received an incredible collection of imagery from the event. Each year, the resort transforms discarded fishing nets, ocean plastics, and salvaged debris into striking, runway-worthy couture. The results are genuinely mind-blowing - think sculptural silhouettes, intricate detailing, and fashion-house-level execution, all created by the resort’s own team, from housekeeping to horticulture. Take a look at the images HERE and please feel free to share these works of art.

ZANNIER : On behalf of the Zannier Hotels team, I’m delighted to share that Zannier Bãi San Hô in Vietnam has officially reopened, following an extensive restoration after Typhoon Kalmaegi late last year. The resort has been thoughtfully returned to its original vision, with significant investment and care taken to ensure it is once again ready to welcome guests at the highest standard. Beyond the restoration, this reopening speaks to the property’s deep-rooted connection to its local community, with all staff retained throughout and craftsmanship continuing to reflect authentic Vietnamese culture. 

With demand for Vietnam continuing to rise, this is a fantastic opportunity to reintroduce Zannier Bãi San Hô to your clients seeking a truly immersive, design-led escape. I’ve attached the full story for your reference along with our current offer Stay 4, Pay 3 - please let me know if you’d like further details, imagery, or to discuss a booking.
