Eid Al Adha, expected to fall in early June, is an occasion to reconnect with loved ones, gathering with family and friends to share meals, celebrate traditions, and create lasting memories. Many families take this opportunity to travel together, making the most of the extended break. Whether it’s a quick getaway or a longer holiday, this festive season offers the perfect chance to explore new places, relax, and enjoy quality time with those who matter most.
We’ve put together some new exciting properties from around the world to spark Eid and summer plans. BACKSTAGE ZONE, STOCKHOLM Built across 13 islands, Stockholm is a capital like no other – a city where water, art, nature and innovation converge. With a growing reputation for culture, sustainability and creative talent, Stockholm is increasingly seen as one of Europe’s most exciting urban destinations, sparking curiosity in kids and grown-ups alike. Head to Backstage Zone, a cultural hospitality hub located in one of Stockholm’s most entertainment-dense neighbourhoods, opened just last month in the island of Djurgården (Stockholm’s Central Park) – a vast green space filled with museums, music, gardens and walking paths. At the heart of the hub is the 57-key Backstage Boutique Hotel Stockholm, a design-led boutique property that quickly gained a cult following when it opened two years ago, now reimagined as a full cultural quarter complete with a brasserie, bar and café, all infused with the signature backstage spirit that has defined the property. The zone itself sits within the walls of ABBA The Museum and just across the street from Mamma Mia The Party. It is surrounded by world-class venues including Gröna Lund, which hosts over 40 international concerts annually, as well as popular cultural attractions such as Skansen, Liljevalchs Art Gallery, the Vasa Museum and the Viking Museum.
