Also this month,the inside track on Ibiza’s little-sister island,Formentera, and our new favourite hotel inMiami, the Standard.
Formentera -Ibiza’ little sister-
The blue waters.. At 19 km long and just over 1 km wide at its narrowest point,Formentera is a slender isthmus connecting the towering cliffs of Faro De La Mola at one end with the gentler swell of Cap de Barbaria at the other. It’s the shape of a boomerang or a dog bone, a Tippex dot on a ma of the Mediterranean , and where those in the know go to escape the incessant heat and ceaseless crowds of Ibiza. The 30 minute ferry crossing …a single main road flanked by cycle lanes connects the island’s six villages..you can hire bikes and scooters everywhere .. There are also Meharis- opentopped dune buggies ….

Milano-Fondazione Prada-
Longtime art collector Miuccia Prada builds an extraordinary new museum- her gift to the city of Milan.
Opening this month, the complex has been in development since2008.
Visiting the construction site of the new Fondazione Prada complex,on the Largo Isarco, feels like wandering through the belly of a big steel whale. There are workmen setting rebar and floor-heating coils. Mud from the winter rain has managed to coat every surface.
Each of the three new buildings that Koolhaas has designed is distinct in form, materials and mood.
There is a podium, an exhibition hall,clad in glass and aluminum foam, that will hold temporary exhibition.
There is a cinema with walls that open like wings to the outside air.
