HOTLIST: Yasin Fatih Vona

Coconut water over cocktails, Pad Thai over everything, and sunsets over the Andaman Sea. Yasin Fatih Vona’s summer is all about slowing down and finding beauty in the simple pleasures of tropical living. With Amanpuri, Phuket permanently pinned at the top of his summer mood board.

Your favorite summer destination?

My ultimate summer escape: Amanpuri, Phuket. It’s not just a destination; it’s a sanctuary where the lush jungle meets the Andaman Sea. My heart will always be there.

A song that reminds you of summer?

Sunrise or Sunset?

Definitely Sunset. Watching the sky turn into a masterpiece over the Andaman Sea at Amanpuri is the most peaceful way to end the day.

Best summer outfit?

Keep it simple and classic. My go-to is a pair of shorts, a basic t-shirt, and boat shoes.

Favorite summer food?

The only thing I need is a perfect Pad Thai. Spicy, tangy, and authentic—it tastes like pure summer in Thailand.

Cocktails or ice cream?

“Neither! I’m all about that fresh coconut water. It’s the most refreshing, natural way to stay hydrated in the tropical heat.

One irreplaceable item on summerish getaways?

“I never travel without my beauty essentials: Dior’s Super Potent Eye Cream to keep me refreshed, and Rhode blush for that perfect sun-kissed glow.

The perfect companion for summer evenings.

The perfect companion for summer evenings: Traditional Thai music playing softly in the background. It creates the most serene and magical atmosphere.

A movie that reminds you of summer days.

Y Tu Mamá También. It captures that raw, adventurous, and nostalgic feeling of a long, hot summer road trip perfectly.
