The Escapist 2019

Gently refashioned and reformatted, The Escapist – Monocle’s journal of places less explored – returns with its pages packed full of good ideas for grand tours and leads for long weekenders. Inside we set our sights on the pioneers taking the travel industry to new heights, from the best in beach clubs to the travel shops with the most covetable stock to stretch your luggage allowance. Our longform reports on the must-visit destinations for the year ahead stride from the sandy beaches of Angourie, Australia, to the modernist architectural marvels of Mérida, Mexico. And, for those on the move, our annual Travel Top 50 surveys the industry’s best airports, tastiest in-flight catering, sturdiest luggage and every other travel essential.
