ABOUT US
About Cosmopolitan Courier
Inspiration, ideas and real stories for a more stylish, balanced and fulfilling life.
Cosmopolitan Courier is an independent Australian magazine about living well: where to go, what to wear, how to feel good, and how to make the next chapter the best one. We launched in July 2023, and we write for people who choose slowly and carefully.
Our pages are calm and unhurried, with nothing shouting for attention, and each story is written to be read to the end.
What we cover
- Travel & Leisure: inspiring journeys, exceptional places and the stories that make travel more meaningful
- Style & Beauty: tailored pieces, quiet glamour and beauty rituals that feel like you
- Health & Wellness: movement, nourishment and restorative care
- Family & Relationships: love, kinship and reinvention
- Personal Finance: clarity, confidence and long-view choices
- Business & Entrepreneurship: strategy and presence for women who build and lead on their own terms
The Resort Series
Our signature travel series features independent luxury hotels, resorts and retreats with a sense of origin and a story to tell. Each guide tells the story behind the property: who built it, what the rooms and kitchens are like, when to go, who it suits and how to book directly. We show each place as it is, through real photography.
How we work
Our editors decide what we cover and what we say. Advertisers, hotels and brands don’t approve or change our stories, and no one can buy a place in The Resort Series. How we choose sets out the criteria we use for new guides.
Stories written by our editors carry no label. Anything else is labelled, every time:
- Partner content: a Resort Series guide where the property hosted our stay or we were compensated. Our editors still write it, to the same criteria.
- Guest contributor: a story supplied by a guest writer or brand, named in the label, with nothing given in return.
- Advertisement: display placements, kept apart from our stories.
We check facts against primary sources, say when we haven’t visited a place, and correct mistakes openly. Our Editorial standards and Advertising, guest and partner content disclosure explain how.
For resorts and brands
Our readers have built careers, businesses and families, often all three. They travel for how a place makes them feel, and they prefer the independent and characterful to the big and branded.
We present our partners with the same care we give our readers. A Resort Series partnership means a guide written by our editors, shown through real photography of your property and labelled clearly. Annabel Vellacourt, Director of Editorial Partnerships, looks after every enquiry.
