From coffee in Nicaragua and upmarket Asia to Andy Murray's hotel

Call of the wild

The Mara Plains Camp has just opened with seven secluded tents in Kenya's Olare Motorogi Conservancy. Located a few metres outside the Maasai Mara Reserve's northern boundary, it puts guests in prime position to witness the Great Migration, when thousands of wildebeest and other wildlife cross the border from Tanzania (greatplainsconservation.com).

Scottish ace

Bookings are now open for Andy Murray's hotel, Cromlix House, which is due to open near Dunblane on 1 April 2014 (cromlix.com).

Upmarket Asia

The latest addition to Vietnam's luxury hotel scene comes from Amanresorts, which is to open, Amano'i, with 31 private pavilions, five villas and a spa overlooking Vinh Hy Bay, in September (amanresorts.com).

Today and on the next two Saturdays, seven miles of the city's streets, from Downtown right up to Central Park, will be free of cars, buses and taxis from 7am to 1pm for the "Summer Streets" event. Picnics, a zip-line, art installations and a fitness zone complete the picture (nyc.gov).
