Canggu, Bali
Tucked into the coastal village of Canggu, Ametis Villa Bali is built around 14 private villas, each set within its own landscaped garden with a dedicated swimming pool. The scale ranges from one-bedroom retreats to a double-storey, three-bedroom Grand Villa, and the level of seclusion throughout is the kind that is genuinely difficult to find in Bali at this standard.
Private airport transfers, a dedicated butler, and 24-hour transport within Canggu and Seminyak come as standard. Dining ranges from in-villa service to Billy Ho restaurant, where chef-restaurateur Will Meyrick has crafted a menu rooted in bold, regional flavours. The Ruby Spa offers a programme of therapeutic treatments, reiki among them, for days best spent without a schedule.
Ibiza, Spain
Mongibello Ibiza sits on Ibiza’s quieter east coast in Santa Eulària where pine trees meet the shoreline and the pace naturally slows. It takes inspiration from the 1970s Italian Riviera but filters it through Ibiza’s easy coastal energy so it feels styled without ever feeling staged. Everything is close to the sea and the light changes the mood of the place throughout the day from calm mornings to warm, golden evenings on the terrace.
Rooms are designed for lingering with sea-facing balconies, soft retro detailing and thoughtful touches that make stays feel unhurried and personal. The pool terrace is the heart of the hotel surrounded by palms and loungers that carry you from daytime relaxation into evening atmosphere. Dining at Sorella Ristorante brings an Italian-led Mediterranean focus while Lola’s shifts the mood later on with cocktails and music.
Granada, Spain
Gran Hotel Claridge Granada brings a sense of immediacy to the city, positioned directly opposite Granada Cathedral in the historic centre. From here, the Royal Chapel, Albaicín quarter, and the Alhambra are all within easy reach, with the Sierra Nevada mountains less than an hour away. The building itself sits above the former Alhóndiga, once a key trading hub, and carries that sense of place through into its design.
Across 70 rooms and suites, the focus is on space and outlook, with high ceilings, generous proportions, and many rooms opening onto uninterrupted views of the Cathedral or the city skyline.
The rooftop defines the experience. A pool and terrace sit above Granada, framing clear views from the Cathedral to the Alhambra and out towards the Sierra Nevada. Dining at INIZIO brings a contemporary interpretation of Andalusian flavours, while the rooftop bar extends the atmosphere into the evening. A full spa with hydrotherapy circuit and treatment rooms adds a quieter counterpoint, making it a city stay that moves easily between culture, cuisine, and pause.
Paje Beach, Zanzibar
Opening this June, ENVI Paje brings 22 oceanfront villas to Paje Beach on Zanzibar’s east coast, where a sapphire lagoon meets some of the whitest sand in the Indian Ocean. The design is light and open, shaped by the landscape rather than imposed upon it, and the overall mood is one of deliberate calm.
The property is built around a Signature African Wellbeing Philosophy, drawing on traditional practices and contemporary science to create bespoke Wellness Journeys that move between meditation, eco-conscious living, local crafts and cookery, and water activities. The Sanctuary spa anchors the therapeutic side of any stay, but the spirit of the place runs well beyond the treatment rooms.
Schruns, Austria
Set in the Vorarlberg Alps, Loewen Hotel Montafon is one of those rare mountain properties that holds its appeal across every season. The 102 guestrooms and suites are warm and considered in their Alpine design, and the programming moves seamlessly from skiing and snowboarding in winter to hiking and mountain biking once the snow retreats.
Five distinct saunas and heated indoor and outdoor pools make the spa a destination in itself, particularly after a day on the slopes or the trails. The Loewengrube nightclub, hosting local and international musicians and DJs, so you can enjoy the alps all year round.
Porto de Galinhas, Brazil
The Pernambuco coastline at Porto de Galinhas is one of Brazil’s finest stretches of shoreline, where coral reefs create natural pools in the shallows and the water shifts between shades of green and blue depending on the light. NANNAI Muro Alto spreads 137 apartments, villas, and bungalows across this beachfront setting with a generous, unhurried ease.
The standout is NANNAI Harmonniza, where a rotating programme of four-hands dinners pairs prominent chefs to create collaborative menus that change with each visit. Private breakfasts by the pool and Champagne picnics on the sand offer a more personal alternative. A L’Occitane spa, children’s club, and a full activity programme including paddleboarding, yoga, and tennis round out an offer that works equally well for families and solo stays.
Grant, Colorado
Tumbling River Ranch has sat within Pike National Forest for 80 years. A recent multimillion-dollar renovation has brought the accommodation in line with its extraordinary surroundings, with 21 luxury cabins spread across 23 acres of protected wilderness, with views that arrive whether you are looking for them or not.
Guided hikes, fly fishing, river rafting, and rock climbing fill the days across the seasons, while the Lodge serves family-style dinners beside an open fire with the Twin Cone Peaks through the windows. Cedar hot tubs and a creekside sauna handle the evenings. The ranch animals, including goats and donkeys, are a detail that the youngest guests tend to remember longest.
A wider global expansion
The six properties above lead a wider intake that extends across Spain, Africa, the Americas, and the Mediterranean.
The Boscolo Hotel Lyon and Spa has been a landmark on Lyon’s Presqu’ile peninsula since the 1890s, and its guest list over the decades has included Martin Luther King Jr. and Edith Piaf. The 132 rooms carry that heritage naturally, with marble bathrooms and Belle Epoque proportions that are delightfully nostalgic. Lyon itself is one of France’s great food cities, and the hotel puts guests at the centre of it. California adds the Allegretto Vineyard Resort in Paso Robles and Vinarosa Resort and Spa in Santa Rosa.
Africa brings Last Word Makanyane in South Africa’s Madikwe Game Reserve, opening July 2026, and Lion in the Sun Boutique Hotel and Spa on the Kenyan coast at Malindi.
The Muse New York joins from Manhattan, The Tides Inn from Irvington in Virginia, and NANNAI Noronha from the protected archipelago of Fernando de Noronha in Brazil. Lucero Residences Golf and Wellness Resort arrives from Chiriqui in Panama, Villa La Valencia Beach Resort and Spa from Los Cabos in Mexico, and Romègas Hotel from Valletta in Malta, opening June 2026.
