FRESCOBOL CARIOCA The inspiration behind Frescobol Carioca came about several years ago on a friends’ surfing holiday in the South of France. Two friends decided to spend some time playing frescobol, a game they had discovered on the beaches of Rio. The fun beach vibe was catchy and soon everyone around joined in on the Carioca fun. The excitement around the game set off the idea of bringing the laid-back and cool Rio lifestyle to beaches and people all over the world. Over time, the handles were shortened and painted or varnished to better protect them from water and salt. Until 1976 the Frescobol was played with peeled tennis balls; thereafter, imported racketball balls began to be used. Frescobol Carioca’s iconic Beach Bats were the first item to be launched in 2009, and were the spark behind a whole range of Luxury Menswear and Beach Accessories, inspired by Rio and its vibrant residents, the Cariocas. The brand is inspired by the curves of the landscape, the mosaic artwork of Roberto Burle Marx and the samba of Tom Jobim. Its trademark Copacabana and Ipanema prints led to a whole series of designs based on famous Brazilian sidewalks.

NEO BOUTIQUE ISLAND CHIC OPEN DAILY FROM 9AM - 10PM ANJARA JEWELLERY FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CONCIERGE LOVE ETERNITY PASSION Did you know that garnet is one of the oldest gemstones in human history, dating back to the Bronze Age? Or that garnet is considered a gift of eternal love? Garnet has been known as a gift of love since the time of the ancient Greeks. A pair of garnet earrings are an excellent gift for an anniversary. Garnet is found in a dizzying range of colours, including orange, yellow, green, purple, blue, black, pink and colourless. But by far the most common is deep warm red, and when we use the word garnet alone, we are talking about a red garnet. A hard and relatively durable gemstone, garnet is suitable for use in all types of jewellery. One of the most notable characteristics of this stone is its ability to heal and purify. It can promote strong and lasting relationships, and it can help you fill your life with passion and inspiration. Found in many parts of the world, including Brazil, India, Madagascar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the United States and Tanzania, the garnet group of minerals share a similar chemical composition. Each piece is then designed gracefully, displaying the stones within the spotlight they truly deserve. Every jewel is handmade by a team of impeccable craftsmen. The process is time-consuming, but it ensures the highest quality finish is achieved. Perfection, attention to detail, imaginative design concept, creativity, uniqueness are the main attributes of ANJARA Fine Jewellery. ANJARA Fine Jewellery can also be found in main auction houses around the globe and are available for you at NEO Boutique at One&Only Reethi Rah. Life at One&Only Reethi Rah | 49

Colour is the key feature to Hogan’s work which is inspired by the marine life of the reef.
