HELLO, WORLD!<br />

Oh the places you can go… the people you can meet


HELLO, WORLD!<br />

Welcome<br />

Whether it’s a world you’ve missed and can’t wait to explore<br />

again or you’re just ready to discover a new one outside of<br />

your own. Travelling makes us feel like our best selves.<br />

It’s when we spend time rejuvenating our bodies and minds,<br />

when we’re more willing to try new things, and where we meet<br />

new people and learn new skills – it’s exciting, passionate,<br />

enlightening, and just downright joyous.<br />

So, get ready to say hello again to the beloved destinations<br />

and lovely lodgings you’ve lost touch with, because we’re<br />

here to reacquaint you.


HELLO, WORLD!<br />

Oh the places you can go…<br />

The seed has been planted. It could be the desire<br />

for seclusion and exclusivity on an Indonesian<br />

conscious-castaway and private Caribbean<br />

island, or possibly the chance of some me-time<br />

on Mexico’s shores. Maybe a more sophisticated<br />

take on excitement is in order, easily found<br />

in Mykonos’ party scene and the vibrant<br />

hub of Riviera-esque shenanigans in the Fari<br />

Islands. Or perhaps you’re feeling adventurous<br />

– in which case a desert safari after dark or<br />

embracing Canada’s great outdoors could be<br />

just the inspiration you need.<br />

Whatever you’re seeking, these are the places<br />

that ignite that spark of curiosity, open gateways<br />

to new opportunities and stay with you long<br />

after you’ve returned home.<br />

Nathan & Oliver


HELLO, WORLD!<br />

Oh the people you can meet…<br />

The real value of travel isn’t decided just by the<br />

places we visit, but by the people we meet along<br />

the way. Whether they’re smiling strangers on the<br />

street or the extraordinary and inspiring people<br />

we've spent time nurturing relationships with.<br />

Our friends allow us unparalleled access to some<br />

of the world’s most exceptional individuals;<br />

from the best guides and wellness practitioners,<br />

to masters of the arts and remarkable locals.<br />

So, if there’s someone you’d like to say “hello”<br />

to, let us know, and we’ll open the door to<br />

one-on-one meetings, set up private dinners,<br />

organise a masterclass, put together a private tour…<br />

or however else you’d like to spend your time<br />

together. There’s never one particular reason for<br />

travelling, but here’s a sneak peak of some of the<br />

people who make it well worth the journey.


OUR LOCAL CONNECTORS<br />

Véronique Vandernoot,<br />

St Barths<br />

Véronique may not be a St Barths native, but she’s now<br />

as much a local as anyone. The Belgium-born artist has<br />

called the island home for 25 years, and her presence is<br />

felt all over in the form of her colourful ceramic tiles that<br />

appear at every beach entrance. Starting from one small<br />

tile that led onto island-wide commissions, she has grown<br />

to become arguably St Barths’ most celebrated artist.<br />

Her studio-shop, Les Petits Carreaux in Gustavia, is<br />

where all the magic happens and, as a Rosewood Le<br />

Guanahani Placemaker, Véronique invites guests to see<br />

her creative process in action, after heading out on a tour<br />

of her favourite haunts.<br />

CLICK IMAGES AND SAY HELLO TO...


HELLO, WORLD!<br />

Who will you trust with<br />

your future travels?<br />

Technology has the power to make<br />

everything easy. But we must admit,<br />

there’s a distinct lack of personal<br />

attention and heart. We are social<br />

beings after all, and the positivity and<br />

emotional bonds of people can’t be<br />

replaced by a machine. When we want<br />

to feel special we need a human touch.<br />

Why? Because it’s comforting, it’s<br />

individual, and you get the right answers<br />

to your questions just as quickly.<br />

Booking with a human rather than a<br />

faceless brand means you will benefit<br />

from empathy, honesty and flexibility.<br />

These are behaviours you simply don’t<br />

find online or in large call centres.<br />

Our customised approach delivers where<br />

technology cannot. Being accessible when<br />

needed; taking the time to listen; offering<br />

guidance and reassurance; harnessing<br />

human ingenuity to find solutions;<br />

handling complex plans and negotiations<br />

on your behalf – we ensure your interests<br />

are prioritised and the value that has on<br />

your overall travel experience should not<br />

be underestimated.<br />

In the coming months, you are sure to<br />

need more expert guidance than ever<br />

before and booking your precious trips<br />

with someone you trust will be vital –<br />

that’s why we believe the future of travel<br />

is one that’s human.


HELLO, WORLD!<br />

Travel made to order<br />

Everything is bespoke,<br />

including your booking conditions<br />

We’re not one for temporary service pledges,<br />

earning trust and confidence takes time. Which<br />

is why we have always offered complete flexibility<br />

and tailoring of our terms and conditions; from<br />

amending or postponing holidays at no charge to<br />

fulfilling cancellations and 100% refunds should<br />

the holiday you booked not be able to go ahead.<br />

When you book, you'll benefit from Travel Made<br />

to Order, where everything is bespoke including<br />

your booking conditions.<br />

More time to decide<br />

If you want something to look forward to<br />

but need a little more time to decide, we can<br />

reserve those highly sought-after business<br />

class seats and secret suites, without deposit<br />

or commitment until you are ready with all<br />

the flexibility to amend or cancel if you<br />

choose not to travel.<br />

Freedom to change your mind, always<br />

We facilitate amendments right up to<br />

departure and even while in resort and<br />

we never charge fees. We’re securing<br />

unprecedented flexibility with our suppliers<br />

to ensure you have the freedom and peace<br />

of mind you need to amend or postpone a<br />

trip. We negotiate individual requirements<br />

with our partners and will absolutely make<br />

you aware at the time of booking the options<br />

we have secured for you.<br />

Cancel and refund, no questions asked<br />

As restrictions can be imposed at any time,<br />

if we cannot provide the holiday you booked<br />

(right up to the day of departure) for any of<br />

the following reasons, you can cancel with a<br />

full refund which you will receive promptly:<br />

» Your destination is placed on the<br />

UK’s red list<br />

» Your destination’s borders are closed<br />

to all travellers<br />

arrivals from the UK<br />

quarantine restrictions for all arrivals


HELLO, WORLD!<br />

Say hello to...<br />

Seclusion 09<br />

Adventure 15<br />

Me 21<br />

Exclusivity 27<br />

Excitement 33<br />

Old friend 39


<strong>Hello</strong>,<br />

seclusion!<br />

There’s nothing better than taking time out and going<br />

off-grid – for a little while at least. A far-flung destination<br />

that couldn’t be further from the daily grind, it’s time to<br />

take some R&R that’s entirely your own.


Miavana, Madagascar<br />

Surround yourself with silence and welcome ultimate seclusion at this remote private<br />

island. Even before the helicopter touches down, Miavana begins to enchant with its<br />

paradisiacal beachfront location. Make like Robinson Crusoe as you settle into your<br />

island-inspired villa – dotted along the untouched sands, off-grid but with luxurious<br />

touches aplenty, this is the isolated paradise you’ve been dreaming of. Tick lemur<br />

trekking off your bucket list, spot whales and dolphins on a boat cruise or learn to<br />

dive to discover vibrant reefs, sea turtles and manta rays.<br />

NIHI Sumba, Indonesia<br />

Sumba’s remoteness makes it trickier than most to get to, but it’s the perfect<br />

place for those wanting more than just a beach getaway. From the tempting<br />

sight of surf crashing onto the shore to the rhythmic canter of horses clipping<br />

the sand, a visit to Indonesia’s ‘forgotten island’ definitely sharpens the senses.<br />

Found on the Edge of Wildness without the distractions of everyday life, this<br />

sustainable lodge lets conscious-castaways firmly focus on the present. While<br />

NIHI’s partnership with The Sumba Foundation draws them in with their<br />

great efforts to empower the islanders with education and jobs.


Raffles Maldives Meradhoo<br />

This far-flung refuge has succeeded in getting away from it all as it lounges in<br />

one of the world’s largest and most remote atolls – Gaafu Alifu. Guests find their<br />

own tempo here; those who want to keep a good rhythm going stay in the airy<br />

beachfront villas on the main islet, far from the madding crowd but still with<br />

communal spirit. Complete pace-slowers, however, bask in the vast open ocean<br />

on the separate ring of overwater villas just a short dhoni boat ride away, only<br />

emerging for a private chef experience or Balinese spa treatment.<br />

Verdura, A Rocco<br />

Forte Hotel, Sicily<br />

Reclining on 570 acres of beachfront miles<br />

away from the overpopulated suntraps,<br />

Rocco Forte’s first venture into building its<br />

own hotels is a crowd-pleasing remote affair,<br />

where rejuvenation and indulgence lounge<br />

side by side. Those looking for sublime<br />

seclusion will do well to plump for a stay in<br />

one of the pool suites. Woven subtly into the<br />

landscape using natural local materials, these<br />

lodgings marry the warmth and ambience of<br />

Sicily with contemporary restraint; boasting<br />

a private pool and beguiling sea views, you<br />

need never leave your expansive abode.<br />

Jumby Bay Island,<br />

Antigua<br />

Great for<br />

FAMILIES<br />

Set on its own island off the coast of Antigua,<br />

this estate’s reputation often precedes it, and<br />

for good reason. Much like the Antiguan word<br />

that inspired its name (jumbee meaning ‘playful<br />

spirit’), the laid-back feeling here is present<br />

as soon as you step onto the welcome dock.<br />

However, the delicate beauty and solitude that<br />

characterises Jumby Bay is found best in the<br />

Private Residences. Peppered throughout this<br />

exclusive private island and complete with staff,<br />

these individually designed homes boast anything<br />

from enormous pools to a turtle sanctuary.


Rosewood Little Dix Bay,<br />

British Virgin Islands<br />

If it’s a week or two of slow living that’s missing from your hectic life, Little<br />

Dix Bay has long been synonymous with providing the space, silence and<br />

seclusion to provide just that. Here, there are no worries, no burdens, and<br />

nothing but guilt free time. The real beauty of this eco-friendly resort is its<br />

deserted half-mile crescent-shaped beach framed by lush verdant gardens –<br />

perfect for secret champagne picnics and midnight strolls under the stars.<br />

For next level privacy, opt for a pool villa with sweeping ocean views,<br />

direct beach access and butler service.<br />

Mandarin Oriental,<br />

Canouan, The Grenadines<br />

An exclusive hideout whose appeal lies in its anonymity, this castaway haven for an<br />

elite few is fast putting this lesser known island on the map. With only 26 suites and<br />

13 villas it’s easy to see how Mandarin Oriental, Canouan has maintained its relatively<br />

under-the-radar status. Set away from the busier Caribbean resorts, here is where the<br />

glitterati come to not be seen. Where A-listers without the need for security or an<br />

entourage, regularly dock their super yachts into the marina – the only way of reaching<br />

the island aside from charter or private jet.


Finca Cortesin, Costa del Sol, Spain<br />

A place of whitewashed walls and red clay tiles, there is something distinctly Spanish<br />

about this handsome hacienda nestled in the foothills of the Casares mountain.<br />

Where desires are met before even being voiced and its elegance makes you feel<br />

good just for being here. For an authentic flavour of Andalusían living and a place<br />

to disconnect, look no further than the resort’s two exclusive villas, La Reserva and<br />

Green 10, which play host to manicured gardens, pools and expansive boho living<br />

spaces; while enjoying access to all the resort’s impeccable services.<br />

Elounda Gulf Villas,<br />

Crete, Greece<br />

One of the most exclusive retreats on Crete’s<br />

unspoilt coastline – a location celebrated in<br />

Victoria Hislop’s novel ‘The Island’ set on<br />

Spinalonga. This is a home-away-from-home<br />

villa hotel, that’s exceptionally run by mother/<br />

daughter trio, Anna, Antni and Charitini. It’s<br />

the Royal Spa Pool Villa that is the long-time<br />

favourite of royalty and celebrities providing<br />

a dwelling for exceptional privacy, decadent<br />

comforts and sensational get-togethers.<br />

Chartering a private yacht to explore nearby<br />

secluded coves and uninhabited islets also<br />

comes highly recommended.<br />

Calabash <strong>Luxury</strong> Boutique<br />

Hotel, Grenada<br />

This Caribbean classic raises the bar when it<br />

comes to tailor-made services – carried out<br />

with all the charm and friendly efficiency that<br />

you would expect from a true family-run hotel.<br />

As a Relais & Châteaux member, it’s expected<br />

that this boutique gem would be a hotspot for<br />

foodies, but Gary Rhodes’ first overseas restaurant<br />

continues to honour his craftmanship and legacy<br />

by elevating the already exquisite food scene<br />

with locally sourced creations. Leaving satisfied<br />

stomachs to wander down to the private beach<br />

for cocktails or back to the peace of their suite<br />

balconies for sundowners in solitude.


More, seclusion<br />

01.<br />

Amanruya, Turkey<br />

‘Peaceful dream’ by name, go off the<br />

radar at this glorious bolthole set amid<br />

acres of UNESCO protected ruins on a<br />

tranquil stretch of scalloped coastline.<br />

02.<br />

COMO Parrot Cay,<br />

Turks & Caicos<br />

An A-listers’ favourite, this private<br />

island paradise includes celebrityowned<br />

private estates with a select few<br />

available for rent. Although the spa is<br />

the real star here.<br />

04.<br />

The Brando, French Polynesia<br />

On the private island of Tetiaroa lies<br />

a retreat once favoured as the personal<br />

hideaway of Marlon Brando. As far as<br />

the eye can see, there is a medley of blues<br />

and it’s an instant tonic for relaxation.<br />

05.<br />

Soneva Kiri, Thailand<br />

Famed for its waterfalls, crystal clear<br />

waters and traditional village life,<br />

the remote island of Koh Kood is an<br />

eco-friendly jungle playground, where<br />

life slows to a deliciously restful pace.<br />

01.<br />

03.<br />

04.<br />

03.<br />

Four Seasons Resort Seychelles<br />

at Desroches Island<br />

A natural playground just a short<br />

flight, yet worlds away from Mahé;<br />

seclusion reigns supreme at this private<br />

island resort and excites those with a<br />

thirst for the true castaway experience.<br />

<strong>Hello</strong>,<br />

adventure!<br />

Throughout history, people have sought out adventure in<br />

its many forms. For some of us, we want to do something of<br />

genuine substance, others simply want to be in the presence<br />

of the truly remarkable. Indulge your sense of adventure,<br />

whatever that means to you.


Great for<br />

FAMILIES<br />

Lengishu,<br />

Kenya<br />

The Borana Conservancy is perhaps not one you’ve<br />

heard of. But here you’ll find an exclusive-use family<br />

home; where staff are like old friends and rhinos<br />

from the most successful sanctuary in Kenya are<br />

your neighbours. Budding conservationists get<br />

behind-the-scenes access tracking black and white<br />

rhino on foot at first light and assisting anti-poaching<br />

rangers on drives by night. In between, horseback<br />

safaris, mountain biking by herds of zebra, swims in<br />

the river and views from Pride Rock (yes, the very same<br />

that inspired Disney animators) fill the schedule.<br />

Island-Hopping in the Tropics,<br />

Hawaii<br />

For families who struggle to sit still, who use holidays as a chance to embrace the<br />

outdoors, push boundaries and bond through challenge and achievement – you<br />

may have met your holiday match. Ohana (family) is deeply important in these<br />

parts, making the islands a place to spend together exploring and experiencing<br />

things impossible at home. From taking a thrill-seeking trip to one of the largest<br />

active volcanoes in the world, to learning to surf at North Shore. And if you’ve<br />

any energy left, joining a traditional Hawaiian party with entertainment,<br />

delicious food and of course hula.


Four Seasons Resort Maldives<br />

at Landaa Giraavaru<br />

The Maldives is arguably one of the best places for just kicking back and doing<br />

nothing, yet with so much on offer; the difficulty is deciding what to do. At<br />

this grown-up sophisticated bolthole, days can be spent revelling in the warm<br />

chameleonic blue-hued waters discovering two of the ocean’s majestic creatures.<br />

Between June and October, sign up for the ‘Manta-on-Call’, where you can snorkel<br />

with these gentle giants as soon as they are sighted; equally exciting is diving in the<br />

remote Baa Atoll, a hotspot for observing whale sharks in all their spotted glory.<br />

Six Senses Zighy Bay,<br />

Oman<br />

Catching the first glimpse of this remote<br />

enclave – whether it is paragliding over the<br />

rugged mountain tops, descending by 4x4<br />

or drawing closer by speedboat – is a level of<br />

exhilaration that’s hard to match. Invited to<br />

live barefoot and mobile phone free, tuning<br />

out of modern life is encouraged the moment<br />

you arrive. Instead, distractions here are<br />

designed to awaken the senses: exploring<br />

jaw-dropping terrain through a spot of<br />

kayaking, microlighting and trekking in the<br />

canyons, or getting an eyeful of marine life<br />

on a snorkelling or diving sortie.<br />

The Datai, Langkawi,<br />

Malaysia<br />

Great for<br />

FAMILIES<br />

The magical isle of Langkawi is a truly<br />

remarkable ecological gem bursting with natural<br />

wonders begging exploration. Meet Malaysia’s<br />

answer to Sir David Attenborough at one of<br />

Asia’s most exclusive resorts, where nemophilists<br />

can see all manner of wildlife living and thriving<br />

in the surrounding 100-million-year old virgin<br />

rainforest. For off the beaten track encounters,<br />

join renowned resident naturalist, Irshad<br />

Mobarak, to tread the footpaths of the dense<br />

forest, kayak through mysterious mangroves<br />

and cool off in freshwater jungle pools.


Great for<br />

FAMILIES<br />

Wilderness Escape,<br />

Canada<br />

Combining everything that is wonderful about the<br />

great outdoors, families can revel in disconnecting<br />

from the rest of the world and reconnecting with each<br />

other. There’s an immediate sense of total seclusion<br />

upon arrival at Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge; idyllically<br />

situated, this eco-safari enclave serves up a boat load<br />

of activities. Horseback riding, hiking with a First<br />

Nations escort, and whale and bear watching make<br />

for a slightly slower pace, while elsewhere, an exclusive<br />

heli-adventure will take you even further into the<br />

remote region to bask in the still beauty of nature.<br />

Great for<br />

FAMILIES<br />

Tea, Sea and Safari,<br />

Sri Lanka<br />

A verdant teardrop island of tea plantations, thick jungles, golden coasts and<br />

UNESCO <strong>World</strong> Heritage sites, Sri Lanka has it all for adventure seekers. We<br />

have curated a journey of authentic cultural experiences and time to contribute<br />

towards local communities and the environment. Begin by venturing inland to<br />

the lush Hill Country; spend time learning about the journey from tea leaf to<br />

cup, before embracing your wild side as you get the chance to spot leopards on<br />

a guided safari. The trip ends with blissful seclusion on a picture-perfect,<br />

palm-fringed golden beach.


Al Maha, A <strong>Luxury</strong> <strong>Collection</strong> Desert<br />

Resort & Spa, Dubai<br />

Horseback rides, camel treks, ghaf-tree walks, dune drives and desert safaris are<br />

just some of the thrilling ways you can explore the palm groves and sand dunes<br />

of the protected wildlife area in which this intimate hideaway stands. While also<br />

plunging into the region’s culture by learning the distinguished arts of archery and<br />

falconry. As for your base itself, it’s made up of a string of Bedouin-style tents – if<br />

we can even call them “tents” – opulently adorned in antiques and decorative brass<br />

tables, and thoughtfully equipped with easels, paints and binoculars.<br />

Regent Seven Seas<br />

Cruises®<br />

What better way to truly soak up new<br />

cultures than to hop between over 450 ports<br />

across the globe and spend quality time with<br />

those who live, work and breathe it? With<br />

onshore experiences as varied as the travellers<br />

taking them, connect to communities in<br />

ways that wouldn’t be possible without<br />

Regent’s close relationships. Feeling more<br />

venturesome? Head out and explore with<br />

private vehicle and driver and make your<br />

own personal and unique encounters. When<br />

back onboard and out at sea, you can be<br />

sure of over-the-top service, grandeur and<br />

opulence at every step.<br />

Four Seasons Resort and<br />

Residences Whistler, Canada<br />

Whistler’s epic wilderness is the centre stage<br />

for all things winter sports tournaments, not<br />

to mention it’s a renowned training ground<br />

for future champions. After waking in the cosy<br />

wooden interiors of the Four Seasons Resort,<br />

both newbies and piste-pros don their winter<br />

wardrobe to ride alongside an Olympic skier or<br />

snowboarder; taking their ability to a whole new<br />

level by following in their tracks and learning<br />

from their techniques. Later, stories from their<br />

adrenaline-fuelled careers follow in a much<br />

earned après-ski session at Braidwood Tavern.

These islands are deemed the<br />

Xigera Safari Lodge, Botswana<br />

Re-emerging onto the safari scene with<br />

a luxurious new look worthy of its<br />

prestigious status, the pioneering Xigera<br />

has not only outdone itself, but changed<br />

the game for luxury lodges.<br />

04.<br />

Elounda Mare Hotel Relais & Châteaux,<br />

Crete, Greece<br />

At this Cretan mansion, a multi-award winning Six<br />

Senses Spa offers advanced medical techniques and a<br />

pioneering spirit for next level rejuvenation. Feeling<br />

fatigued or stressed? A day focused on boosting your<br />

JOALI BEING, Maldives<br />

Biophilic design leads the way here. Set in the secluded natural island of<br />

Bodufushi in the Raa Atoll, the stunning architecture combines 68 beach and<br />

water villas (each with a pool) with untouched wild forest as the backdrop.<br />

What’s more, with a focus on nature-immersive well-being, wellness programmes<br />

are tailored around four key pillars – mind, skin, microbiome and energy –<br />

inviting seekers of self-discovery and renewal to reach results, from women’s<br />

health to weight rebalance and restorative sleep.


Bahía Del Duque,<br />

Tenerife<br />

It’s strange, how a place modelled on a 19th<br />

century Spanish village can feel intimate, yet<br />

somehow Bahía del Duque manages to hit the<br />

sweet spot. Inside the resort, things are just as<br />

carefully considered. This is a crowd-pleasing<br />

escape where no family-friendly stone is left<br />

unturned, including the range of petite wellness<br />

rituals in the spa. Treat ‘young dukes’ to their<br />

first massage or radiant mini facial using<br />

the purest natural ingredients – safe in the<br />

knowledge that you’re right there with them,<br />

while cherishing a long over-due regenerative<br />

therapy yourself.<br />

Parklane, A <strong>Luxury</strong> <strong>Collection</strong><br />

Resort & Spa, Cyprus<br />

With a mantra ‘to make everyone happy’, that<br />

more than applies to adults looking for a blissful<br />

refuge to pamper the mind and body while<br />

restoring spiritual balance. A child-free sanctuary<br />

for grown-ups awaits in the sophisticated adultsonly<br />

wing where spacious Lifestyle Suites provide<br />

a haven of tranquillity in which to unwind with<br />

ease. At The Kalloni Spa, tempting treatments<br />

are given a Cypriot twist with locally inspired<br />

ingredients, while the Russian Banya <strong>Luxury</strong><br />

Suites offer the opportunity to experience one of<br />

the oldest Russian spa traditions.<br />

Pine Cliffs, A <strong>Luxury</strong> <strong>Collection</strong><br />

Resort, Algarve, Portugal<br />

Great for<br />

FAMILIES<br />

This jovial-village-meets-sub-tropical-gardens<br />

clifftop hamlet is the kind of place lingering<br />

sun-seekers are loathe to leave. Take the right<br />

turn while wandering its cobbled streets<br />

and you’ll end up at the award-winning spa.<br />

Bespoke Sisily Paris treatments aside, guests are<br />

encouraged to tap into their best selves with<br />

aerial yoga and targeted treatments at Portugal’s<br />

only HYPOXI studio. Even teens find it easy to<br />

put down their devices for the tailored one-three<br />

day programmes, improving their well-being<br />

with meditation, fitness and outdoor activities.<br />

Whatever your age and interests, this is the<br />

place to learn, enhance and improve personal<br />

skills. Have one of your best serves of all time<br />

at the Annabel Croft Tennis Academy; and turn<br />

the dreams of young footballers into reality as<br />

professionals share their skills and tactics with<br />

the next generation. Dine on your creation<br />

together after an authentic family cooking class;<br />

and the Par 3 sixth hole will provide a challenge<br />

for any experienced golfer. Oh, and did we<br />

mention it just so happens to have the longest<br />

stretch of golden sand in all of Portugal too.


Chablé Yucatán, Mexico<br />

A decade in the making, this 19th century hacienda-turned-retreat with 40 private<br />

casitas and villas has been reclaimed from the heart of the Mayan jungle and<br />

painstakingly restored into a place that calls to nature-loving wellness enthusiasts.<br />

Threaded through towering trees, it is interspersed only by crumbling ruins and a<br />

winding stone path that leads to a world-renowned retreat set around a mythical<br />

cenote. It’s quite unlike any other; where hypnotic treatments harness the mystery of<br />

Merida’s Mayan past and combine ancestral healing techniques with modern science.<br />

Domes Resorts, Greece<br />

Self-improvement isn’t just achieved in the office or the gym. Discover<br />

ways to expand your mind through the people you meet and the places you<br />

visit. Seek out enlightenment in a myriad of ways across the bright islands<br />

of Crete and Corfu – two places steeped in mythology and an intoxicating<br />

mix of pastoral life, ancient secrets and talented craftspeople. Absorb new<br />

ways of living well in one of five Domes Resorts, where the healing powers<br />

of natural waters and herbs, an education on local trade and new sensations<br />

will no doubt leave you feeling impassioned and inspired.


The Romanos, A <strong>Luxury</strong> <strong>Collection</strong> Resort,<br />

Costa Navarino, Greece<br />

Not just a pretty face, this socially committed resort<br />

encourages guests to reap the benefits of the area’s rich<br />

treasures, both natural and cultural. From cycling in<br />

the nature reserve, to picking ingredients for al fresco<br />

lunches, it’s a place to revel in the great outdoors.<br />

It’s also perfect for those who hanker to embrace<br />

Mediterranean culture. Come for cookery classes<br />

with local ladies, cheese making, wine masterclasses,<br />

lessons in traditional Messinian embroidery, and even<br />

astronomy nights, mythological storytelling, and<br />

philosophy walks led by classical scholars.<br />

Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai<br />

Shop. Brunch. Pamper. There’s an uplifting power when indulgent me-time is<br />

done well, and Dubai will argue that no one does it better. Mandarin Oriental is a<br />

pocket of zen in a central location and is the closest beachfront hotel to the retail<br />

therapy action in Downtown Dubai. In a city renowned for its ‘bigger is better’<br />

mentality, here they’ve opted for an understated Californian air. A place where<br />

there’s a swish spa with cocoon-like relaxation pods and a dedicated VIP suite, and<br />

private beach cabanas with a personal butler bringing refreshing treats every hour.

<strong>Hello</strong>,<br />

exclusivity!<br />

Step into a world of your own making, uncover intimate<br />

hideaways, stay in palatial private residences, occupy a secret<br />

patch on the most beautiful beach, or head to a spot few have<br />

seen – these are privileged places that will feel exclusively yours.


The Nautilus, Maldives<br />

Step into a world of your own making; a world with no restraints, where<br />

time has no meaning and where you have all the freedom to live exactly as<br />

you please. Through unscripted dining and an exceptionally private level of<br />

service, each and every moment is tailored completely to you. Share special<br />

indulgences before you travel and turn up to a villa stocked with your<br />

favourite treats; share your personal goals – whether it’s to relieve tension or<br />

quiet a busy mind – and there’ll be a customised wellness programme with<br />

experts waiting in advance of your arrival.<br />

Six Senses Zil Pasyon,<br />

Seychelles<br />

Previously home to an intimate lodge that hosted celebrities and dignitaries in search of<br />

complete privacy and beautiful beaches, Six Senses Zil Pasyon’s location is no accident.<br />

Accessible only by helicopter and boat, lush jungles cover much of this private island.<br />

A wild place where curiously shaped boulders jut out onto quiet, powdery sands. The<br />

three towering residences are the showstoppers. Multi-level, multi-bedroom architectural<br />

masterpieces with glass-bottomed pools on the top floors, that filter light and silhouetted<br />

ripples into the living space below.


Trisara,<br />

Phuket, Thailand<br />

On a less-trodden coast of Phuket, beneath the<br />

shade of centuries-old ficus trees and breezy<br />

coconut and fishtail palms is where this secret<br />

hideaway can be found. Meaning ‘garden in<br />

the third heaven’, Trisara is a sanctuary for the<br />

senses sitting within a protected nature preserve.<br />

Each pool villa and residence is spaced far apart<br />

across tropical gardens; all facing the Andaman<br />

Sea, there is zero chance of being overlooked<br />

here. There are three gourmet options to choose<br />

from, but best in class is PRU – home of<br />

Phuket’s first and only Michelin star.<br />

Royal Mansour<br />

Marrakech, Morocco<br />

It doesn’t get more special than this oasis of<br />

opulence; after all it’s not every day you get to<br />

stay in a palace. No expense was spared when<br />

King Mohammed VI ordered these rose-hued<br />

regal riads to showcase artisanal mastery from<br />

1,500 of the country’s finest craftspersons.<br />

Rooms bedecked with hand-carved cedar,<br />

masonry and silver finishes make a stay here<br />

feel like stepping into an elaborate painting.<br />

Discretion and confidentiality are key and an<br />

underground network of tunnels ensure that<br />

service is superb yet subtle and unobtrusive.<br />

Rosewood Baha Mar,<br />

The Bahamas<br />

Enveloped in luxury at this sophisticated<br />

resort you’re sure to feel like nothing less than<br />

an A-lister. Undeniably the most exclusive<br />

address on Nassau’s Baha Mar complex,<br />

Rosewood loyalists and those seeking the more<br />

refined things in life flock here to revel in the<br />

relaxed tempo of island life. The resort’s four<br />

oceanside villas are a cut above, delivering<br />

incomparable indulgence; set on the shoreline<br />

they offer the ultimate in perfect privacy and<br />

come complete with pool and a dedicated<br />

butler to cater to your every wish and whim.<br />

Sugar Beach, A Viceroy<br />

Resort, St Lucia<br />

Relax as hard as you like at this pampering<br />

spot, uniquely built around the atmospheric<br />

ruins of an 18th Century Sugar Mill flanked by<br />

the UNESCO-listed, iconic Pitons. Smuggled<br />

away from the Great House, three beachfront<br />

houses stand with their toes in the sand enticing<br />

guests with their private entrance to Glenconner<br />

Beach and dining beside the Beachhouse's<br />

infinity pool. Not many things could lure you<br />

off the terrace loungers but if something were<br />

to succeed, it’d probably be the hands-on cocoa<br />

bean-to-bar tour or a kayaking trip in the bay<br />

fronting your residence.


Daios Cove <strong>Luxury</strong> Resort & Villas,<br />

Crete, Greece<br />

The location alone is enough to set Daios Cove apart<br />

from its Cretan neighbours; this is about as secluded<br />

a postcode as you’ll find, despite sitting on one of<br />

Greece’s more popular islands. But what’s more,<br />

premium villa, The Mansion, is unmatched. Combine<br />

the stand out figures: three floors of open-plan living,<br />

a trio of bedrooms, two pools, one private chef and<br />

a fitness trainer on call – with smaller, personalised<br />

quirks: a lengthy pillow menu and choice of fragrances<br />

to diffuse through the air con – and you’ve got the<br />

island’s most coveted home right here.<br />

Great for<br />

FAMILIES<br />

One&Only Portonovi, Montenegro<br />

Snapping up the best spot on Boka Bay, these elegant Venetian-esque buildings<br />

have been created as the ultimate retreat with literally every age in mind. The<br />

private homes take the cake – ten individual villas with access to their very<br />

own beach (a rarity in Europe) and just crying out to be used for celebrations.<br />

The experiences here are with an emphasis on local gems; like a boat tour of<br />

four islands discovering tales from folklore, driving a vintage Rolls Royce Silver<br />

Shadow down coastal roads, or water polo with Montenegro’s national team.


Ikos Resorts – Deluxe <strong>Collection</strong>,<br />

Greece & Spain<br />

Welcome to an elevated all-inclusive option where everyday stresses slip<br />

away with a curated array of exclusive privileges just for you. Operating<br />

a hotel-within-a-hotel concept across its award-winning Mediterranean<br />

resorts, the Ikos Deluxe <strong>Collection</strong> brings together the best suites (think<br />

private pools, gardens and unparalleled views) and a long list of premium<br />

benefits. We’re talking: Taittinger champagne, an upgraded mini-bar,<br />

complimentary spa treatments, a reserved area of the beach, a dedicated<br />

pool and a personal concierge on hand to take care of every detail.<br />

Great for<br />

FAMILIES<br />

Rosewood Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, Mexico<br />

The Mayakoba region is the secluded microcosm between Cancun and Playa del Carmen<br />

that Rosewood’s east Mexican outpost calls home. Hidden among the greenery, arriving<br />

at one of the overwater bungalows by boat is like checking into your own private islet;<br />

while the plaza, chapel, cooking school and shops complete this pocket of calm without<br />

sacrificing on space and location. When it comes to exploring, tours take on a life of<br />

their own; especially on a private visit to the out-of-sight Mayan city, Coba, and on the<br />

biologist lead eco-tours around the resort.

From desert adventures over apricot waves to iconic big<br />

Six Senses Residences Courchevel, France<br />

Not quite a hotel, but far from a chalet, it’s clear these comfy apartments –<br />

decked out in mellow alpine block-check throws and sustainably sourced timber<br />

– aren’t like anywhere else in Courchevel. The area’s typical lavishness makes way<br />

for new heights of mountain living where even dinner is a thrilling affair. Instead<br />

of heading to the usual haunts, start the evening off with a guided snow scooter<br />

ride over pistes and through forest paths that lead onto a woodcutter’s cottage.<br />

Here, a Savoyard evening with music, wine and a traditional dinner awaits.<br />

Patina Maldives, Fari Islands<br />

Breaking the mould when it comes to your typical Maldivian escape, this<br />

fresh-faced flagship leads a carefully considered life of discreet tranquillity,<br />

all the while moonlighting as a vibrant hub of Riviera-esque shenanigans.<br />

Yes the villas and studios are the sanctuaries of serenity you would expect;<br />

but it’s Fari Marina Village and Beach Club that are the true beating heart.<br />

Guests flock here to dip in and out of the designer boutiques, sip an Aperol<br />

spritz while renowned DJs mix on turntables, indulge in Michelin-starred<br />

cuisine or move the party to the deck of a superyacht.


Mandarin Oriental, New York<br />

Just one bite of the Big Apple makes you hungry for excitement.<br />

Times Square pulsates with dazzling lights, not to mention captivating<br />

museums and a maze of local eateries. Wake up to jaw-dropping views<br />

of the Manhattan skyline from this upscale Asian-inspired outpost,<br />

while savouring a stack of fluffy blueberry pancakes from the comfort<br />

of your suite. Later, pedal off on a personalised hybrid cycle tour of one<br />

of the city’s most iconic sights, Central Park, to discover its history and<br />

landmarks; stopping to refuel with a delectable butler-served picnic.<br />

Myconian Ambassador,<br />

Mykonos, Greece<br />

In an absolute gem of a location – elevated and overlooking the best-known beach on<br />

Mykonos – this is where the sophisticated base themselves to enjoy the party scene<br />

without jostling street crowds or being too isolated. With the most connected concierges<br />

on hand to get you into the best beach clubs (two of the hottest, Namos and Scorpios,<br />

are close by), find you the top tables (the hotel’s own Efisa is a strong candidate), and<br />

direct you to the most fashionable designer boutiques on the island. Explore Mykonos<br />

from a new perspective by helicopter or private yacht.

A bustling capital, natural wilderness and picturesque beaches. What could be<br />

offer? Following a tuk tuk tour and exploring the kaleidoscopic floating markets<br />

aboard a longtail boat, take time out in flamboyant Bangkok to meet a monk at<br />

a hushed golden temple. Next stop: Chiang Mai and it’s emerald rice fields, for<br />

nature-based activities like planting rice with the local farmers. When you reach the<br />

island of Phuket, take to the waves on a private yacht to explore the hidden bays.<br />

itself, you couldn’t be closer to the action, where<br />

the most special and magical moments are<br />

personalised to you. It might be an action-packed<br />

outing through the sprawling five-acre water<br />

could be a private meal on the rooftop restaurant<br />

surrounded by the bright lights of sparkling<br />

fireworks. Whatever a (big or small) child’s heart<br />

desires, it can be magicked up here.


Rosewood Le Guanahani, St Barths<br />

This reimagined island icon has created somewhat of a buzz among the ‘it’ crowd<br />

that flock to St Barths. Le Guanahani has always been a bare-foot elegance kind<br />

of place, but now with Rosewood as a prefix, the service is more sumptuous, and<br />

the ease of living is more Caribbean than ever. It’s still got all the charm of the old<br />

days but with some notable Rosewood enhancements; a Rosewood Spa has taken<br />

already sensuous treatments and turned them into a truly restorative experience<br />

and the addition of an Explorers kids’ club focusing on edutainment and tailoring<br />

experiences to its location.<br />

There’s an electric atmosphere that leads<br />

exhilaration-seekers to the water’s edge to<br />

hop onto jet skis, or, complimentary passes<br />

in hand, to the neighbouring Wild Wadi<br />

Waterpark. Flip the coin and it’s the desert<br />

calling out with hot air ballooning and 4x4<br />

Grand Hotel Tremezzo,<br />

Lake Como, Italy<br />

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to feel like<br />

nobility, this is the place. Prepare for full-on luxury<br />

at every turn in this wonderfully over the top<br />

property. Even when it comes to simply taking a dip,<br />

you can flit between three different options; from the<br />

water-on-water floating pool on the lake, the flower<br />

pool infused with heady seasonal fragrances, and the<br />

infinity pool in the T Spa. There’s also T Beach – a<br />

classic lakeside lido inspired by the Belle Epoque era,<br />

with real sand, loungers, parasols and mountain vistas<br />

Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort, Greece<br />

Minimalist. Elegant. Romantic. This enclave more than merits its place among the<br />

Small <strong>Luxury</strong> Hotels of the <strong>World</strong> collection of outstanding boutique properties.<br />

Cobbled paths lead to an exquisite white-painted retreat overlooking the Aegean.<br />

With no outside guests allowed in, Mykonos Grand tunes out of the island’s<br />

relentless partying and preening. Instead it’s a place to hide away from the world<br />

and all its demands. You’d be forgiven for spending all your time confined here but<br />

do step out to explore the sacred island of Delos, rich in history and culture.


The Ritz-Carlton Abama,<br />

Tenerife<br />

Far from a shrinking violet, this blooming<br />

rose citadel closer resembles a small town than<br />

a hotel, and its status on the island has flocks<br />

of loyal guests returning to reside within its<br />

walls. This is a place that feels like a quiet and<br />

exclusive club for those eager to escape for<br />

an ever-tempting week of warmth in Spain’s<br />

sunniest spot. It’s worth remembering that<br />

some of Tenerife’s best views can be found at<br />

night; join the resident astronomer who will<br />

unravel the mysteries of the universe while the<br />

The Fairmont Royal Pavilion,<br />

Barbados<br />

Roll out of bed and on to the beach. Built<br />

on the west shore before Barbados’ coastal<br />

beach-side location than at this legendary hotel.<br />

Evoking the feeling of being privileged guests<br />

in a private home, it’s no surprise that the<br />

charm of this enchanting retreat keeps regulars<br />

returning year after year. A five-minute stroll<br />

will bring you to the illustrious Lone Star<br />

restaurant; renowned for its celebrity clientele<br />

and to-die-for setting, it serves up heavenly<br />

world cuisine with a cool Caribbean twist.<br />

Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia,<br />

Gran Canaria, Spain<br />

Occupying a plum position steps from the beach<br />

and a short stroll from the spectacular sand dunes<br />

of Maspalomas, this is a serene spot in which to<br />

kick back and relax. It’s the kind of super-civilised<br />

space in which you find a piano bar and a bridge<br />

salon; a distinctly Spanish home where dishes are<br />

prepared by a Michelin-starred culinary master;<br />

and where the feel of a country club combines<br />

with the privacy of being at home. So homely is<br />

the feeling, that when chatting to others by the<br />

heated pool, you’ll struggle to find anyone who<br />

hasn’t stayed here before.<br />

old-school charm; greeting its loyal patrons, young<br />

and old, each year. Within this tree-sheltered<br />

haven, down by the pool is the central meeting<br />

hub. Where parents and grandparents tell of their<br />

day spent cooking with a local Spanish family,<br />

and children gush about their time making pizzas<br />

tended in their own garden patch.


A Classic Duo, Dubai & Maldives<br />

Great for<br />

FAMILIES<br />

Two distinctive destinations, one match made in heaven – these two classic resorts<br />

combine for a holiday of two halves. Full-blown modern Arabian splendour is<br />

the watchword at One&Only Royal Mirage, Residence & Spa. Couples check-in for<br />

boutique hotel levels of attention, but with all the luxuries and advantages of a<br />

larger resort. Then, it’s on to arguably the Maldives’ premier address – One&Only<br />

Reethi Rah, where no less than a dozen beaches, six restaurants and a one-of-a-kind<br />

certified dive centre keeps ritzy-glitzy beach goers entwined in castaway comfort.<br />

Constance Ephelia, Seychelles<br />

Overlooking the marine national park of Port Launay and nestling within<br />

almost 300 acres of lush vegetation, lies this firm family favourite. Combine<br />

beach (unusually for the Seychelles, there’s a choice of two) with adventure in<br />

the form of zip-lining, rock climbing, mountain biking and kayaking through<br />

mangroves. The resort is also home to one of the largest spas in the region. The<br />

spacious three-bedroom villas are our top pick for groups, they come complete<br />

with private swimming pool and a courtyard perfect for al fresco dining.


Four Seasons Favourites,<br />

Seychelles & Dubai<br />

This is a brand that sees guests return time and time<br />

Whatever paradise looks like, we think they found it<br />

at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles, which occupies one<br />

of the most swoon-worthy bays on Mahé. Life is a<br />

<strong>Hello</strong>, suite life!<br />

British Airways continue to enhance their in-flight experience with the<br />

roll out of its newest business class seat, Club Suite. Breathing fresh<br />

life into their much-beloved Boeing 777s, the refit is expected to be<br />

completed by the end of <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

The sophisticated Club Suite began its rollout in July 2019 on the first A350<br />

and since then has been installed on the Boeing 787-10 aircraft. The seat offers<br />

direct-aisle access, a suite door for even greater privacy and luxurious flat-bed seats<br />

in a 1-2-1 configuration. Boasting 40 percent more storage, including a vanity unit<br />

and mirror, WiFi, enviable 18.5-inch inflight entertainment screens, high definition<br />

gate-to-gate programming and PC / USB power; every aspect of British Airways’<br />

Club Suite has been designed with today’s luxury customer in mind.
