A World Made By Many

The Chocolatier | Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort

Kittle Symphorien grew up in Soufrière with mangoes and cocoa pods in her backyard. Today, she turns locally grown cocoa into chocolate at Sugar Beach, following the process from pod to finished piece.

The Astrophotographer | The Observatory, A Viceroy Resort

Travis Amick knows these skies by waiting for them. Raised in Sun Valley, he has spent years photographing Central Idaho after dark; watching the weather, following the moon and returning to the same landscapes as the conditions above them change.

The Beverage Director | Viceroy Chicago

For Sayo “Chi” Anise, a cocktail begins long before anything reaches the glass. Inspiration might come from a morning at the market, an unfamiliar ingredient or an afternoon experimenting with her team. But whatever goes into it, the intention is the same: make someone feel cared for.

The Beekeeper | Viceroy at Ombria Algarve

José Maria Martinez learned beekeeping from his father, who learned it from his own. Today, the family tends around a thousand hives, moving them across the Algarve from orange blossom to lavender.

The Winemakers | Viceroy at Ombria Algarve

At Quinta do Tourais, Catarina and Mário Santos revived an abandoned vineyard, restoring the vines and letting the land set the pace. Two years later came their first wine.

The Suit Fitter | Viceroy Park Avenue

For Max Girombelli, a bespoke suit starts with a conversation. Before fabric is chosen or a measurement taken, he wants to understand the person who will wear it. Where are they going? What does the moment mean, and how do they want to express themselves?

The Divers | Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort

Between Vitus Joyeux and Elijah Jn Baptiste are more than six decades spent exploring Saint Lucia’s waters. Their knowledge of the reef has been built dive by dive, through close observation and an understanding of how to move through it with care.

The Music Historian + Producer | Viceroy Chicago

For Kevin “Mega” McFall, house music carries the story of the people and places that shaped it, from improvised DJ setups to dance floors that became spaces for expression and community.

The Mountaineer | The Observatory, A Viceroy Resort

Ed Viesturs has spent a lifetime learning when to move forward; and when to turn back. For him, the mountain sets the terms. Experience comes from paying attention: to the weather, the terrain, and what your own instincts are telling you.

The Hairstylist + Wigmaker | Viceroy Park Avenue

For Timur Sadyq, hair begins with observation. After two decades in his craft, he has learned to read texture, movement and the person in front of him, whether he is shaping a cut or building a wig by hand.
