Count turtle nests at sunrise, snorkel with sailfish or take your own approach to exploring the marine wilderness just off the doorstep of your own private villa or secluded beach bungalow. Spend nights staring up at star-strung skies while dining on sustainably-caught line fish served with veggies grown on our very own farm. At Alphonse, sustainability and conservation form the heart of your experience on our otherwise uninhabited atoll, where the very act of visiting keeps our little paradise pristine, long after you sadly have to leave. www.bluesafari.com I reservations@bluesafari.comeywa.ae YOUR HOME YOUR TREE OF LIFE EtA_03-JAN-2024_English_06-07_EN_Eywa renders_13134452.indd 619/12/2023 16:42Eywa is the next revolutionary generation of the 21st century buildings, a building-guardian, a building- guru, a building-game changer in the real estate industry, when a building turns from a result of creation into a motivator of creation.

Learn more at boeing.comwelcome January 2024 | ATLAS BY ETIHAD | 9 IMA GE: UNSPLASH Message from the CEO Hello, and welcome to the fi rst edition of Atlas for 2024 – may I fi rst wish you a happy and successful New Year. January is a time of new beginnings. At Etihad, that means that this year, our global network will continue to fl ourish as we launch a string of exciting new routes. In fact, by the time you read these words, we will have spread our wings to two fresh destinations in the south of the Indian subcontinent: Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. The Kerala region is a haven for exploration, with its spectacular coastline and awe-inspiring scenery. It’s no surprise the region was named as one of the top 10 global paradises. Those who visit this gem for the fi rst time are sure to fi nd a warm and inviting welcome. Anticipation builds as we gear up for the inauguration of our fi rst fl ights to Boston, Massachusetts, set to start on 31 March. In this edition, an illuminating feature delves beyond the city’s well-known landmarks like the site of the Boston Tea Party, unveiling the lesser-known facets that make Boston a must for travellers seeking an intriguing destination. Embark on a curated journey through Boston’s hidden treasures with our list of attractions, including the revered Boston Public Library, The Black Heritage Trail, The Harbor Walk, and The Greenway. Boston, steeped in history, reveals itself as a multifaceted city off ering a rich variety of experiences. In this edition too, we look at the hotels in destinations across Etihad’s growing network that have completed a recent renovation – it is quite stunning what they have achieved. This time of year is also one when those from northern climes seek a little winter sun. And increasingly Etihad’s hometown, Abu Dhabi, is providing for many that sought-after sunshine boost. With the world within easy reach, Abu Dhabi stands tall as one of the leading stopover cities. Whether your stay lasts a few hours or several days, tailor-made packages are on off er, inviting you to uncover the many wonders of Abu Dhabi between fl ights. The city boasts marvellous resort hotels, making it an ideal destination for those who wish to relax by the pool or on the beach, and a host of other attractions. Whether you want a fun-fi lled family holiday, a romantic getaway or cultural experiences, Abu Dhabi caters to every taste. Finally, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all our valued customers who have chosen to fl y with us this year, and to every member of our Etihad family for ensuring a warm and hospitable experience for all our guests.
