Myrtle Beach is often known for its energy—the boardwalk, the attractions, the nonstop movement—but there’s another side waiting to be experienced. One where mornings begin with quiet ocean views, afternoons stretch a little longer, and the pace of the day is set entirely by you.

At The Ellie Beach Resort, the focus shifts from rushing to relaxing. Spacious accommodations, sweeping views of the Atlantic, and thoughtfully designed spaces invite you to slow down and settle in. Whether it’s enjoying fresh coastal cuisine, unwinding by the water, or simply taking in the rhythm of the waves, every moment feels intentional.

This is Myrtle Beach, reimagined—unhurried, effortless, and exactly what a coastal escape should be. ✨

Rosé may be one of the most misunderstood wines on the table. Often dismissed as sweet or simple, this pink pour actually traces its roots back thousands of years — long before modern red wines even existed. Today’s rosés are crisp, vibrant, and intentionally crafted to highlight freshness and drinkability, proving that color has nothing to do with sweetness.

In this piece, we explore the history, myths, and craftsmanship behind one of wine’s oldest styles.

Meet Chef Bhavin Chhatwani, the culinary force leading Tamasha Modern Indian — one of the Triangle’s most exciting restaurant stories. Since opening in March 2024, Bhavin’s mission has been clear: make Tamasha a destination worth crossing town — or even state lines — for.

A 2025 James Beard Award semifinalist, Bhavin brings global expertise — from two-Michelin-starred kitchens to the finest luxury hotels — and treats Indian cuisine not as a boundary but as a toolkit for bold, balanced flavor.

At Tamasha, local ingredients meet Indian technique for dishes that feel both refined and deeply personal — a “North Carolinian Indian cuisine” rooted in community and creativity.

Fresh flavor starts with the season 🍎
Eating seasonally isn’t just a trend — it’s a way to truly enjoy produce at its peak flavor and nutrition. When fruits and vegetables are harvested locally and eaten soon after, they’re fresher, richer, and more flavorful than out-of-season produce shipped from far away.

Seasonal eating also lets you connect with local farmers, support your community, and enjoy ingredients that actually reflect the time of year. From crisp apples and hearty squash in cooler months to vibrant greens in spring and summer, there’s always something delicious waiting at the market.
