One night at the Mexican pad costs more than the average annual salary in the UK 🏝️

timeout.com/news/the-too-h…
With its huge thatched atrium, stunning beach location, luxuriant garden and impressive variety of swimming pools, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Casa Tau in the Mexican resort town of Punta Mita is just a typical – albeit very, very posh – holiday pad

No beloved tourist attraction is safe from these keyboard warriors 😱

Take our quiz to see if you can guess which iconic world landmark they’re talking about 👇

“Absolutely awful. Too many French people thought it was funny to throw croissants and pain aux chocolate at me! Not a fun experience”
“They wouldn’t let us in. Even though it was cold and rainy outside. The guards couldn’t even smile for a second. The Queen refused to open the door or even wave at the window”

It's time to swap Spain for a Scottish island or space 🏝️

timeout.com/news/five-stro…
The Love Island villa is on the move. Well, the villa itself isn’t moving anywhere – but the show is moving from its previous location on the Spanish island of Majorca. So obviously there’s one big question on everyone’s lips: where are the islanders heading?
For now, Love Island bosses haven’t confirmed a new location. They have said, however, that it’s pretty likely the show will stay in Majorca – and simply migrate to another villa. But let’s be honest, that would be boring. Very boring. Why not mix things up a bit?

The true crime doc will make you question who you're really talking to online... 🤳

timeout.com/news/the-tinde…
Netflix’s new catfishing doc The Tinder Swindler is the true-life story of a handsome billionaire, Simon Leviev, who turns out not to be a billionaire after all, but an Israeli fraudster called Shimon Hayut. He's also the cause of suffering for the women who fall in love with him
Leviev/Hayut’s Tinder profile spoke of global jet-setting, designer labels, fast cars, and a watch collection to make Jay-Z jealous. But he also seemed to be a soft-hearted romantic who wanted to settle down and, presumably, fit a baby seat into one of those Lamborghinis

German heiress Anna Delvey was a New York socialite, entrepreneur and ridiculously loaded high-flyer.

Except, she wasn’t really any of those things.

Now Shonda Rhimes is bringing her tale to Netflix 👇

🔴Who is Anna Delvey?

In the mid 2010s, the twentysomething Delvey became ubiquitous in Manhattan high society – an effortlessly chic figure swanning into fashion shows, hobnobbing with hedge fund types and tech bros, and having a flawless radar for where to be seen
Delvey knew all the right people and used her connections to create an exclusive art space and private members’ club called the Anna Delvey Foundation, or ‘ADF’. People queued up to give her money because she had vision, iron self-confidence and the chops to pull it all off
