Kensho Mykonos

Greece

The first thing you’ll notice about this bastion of Cycladic cool is the smell. A decadent mixture of sea salt and fig that lingers in the folds of the snowy bed linen and wafts out of the spa, which is housed in a cave. The second is the use of...read more

Domaine la Butte aux Bois

Lanaken

Tucked amid verdant countryside, within striking distance of Belgium’s Hoge Kempen National Park, sits Domaine La Butte aux Bois. The luxury resort abounds in floor-to-ceiling windows, while the wooden decor is sympathetic to the surrounding terrain. Slip into your robe and be indulged in the newly opened spa, then enjoy...read more

The Pointer

Brill

Perching on the border of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, Brill is the sort of village American tourists dream of. Quaint buildings with names like ‘Primrose Cottage’ surround a green across which tweed-wearing Labrador walkers call out greetings, while a 17th-century windmill offers sweeping views. The Pointer takes its food seriously. Their...read more

Baros

Maldives

Spend a week at Baros and you’ll find that clichés can be a very good thing. Palm trees sway in the wind, white beaches fringe the shoreline and aquamarine waters stretch into the blue sky. It’s blindingly beautiful. You’ll arrive at the resort by speedboat – a 20-minute crossing from...read more

Anantara peace haven tangalle

Sri Lanka

Kissed by the Indian Ocean, this is a tropical hideaway of the nest order. Tucked on a rocky outcrop on the southernmost tip of India’s Teardrop and sprawling across a coconut grove, it feels more like a botanical garden than a hotel. Interiors are modern and fresh with plenty of...read more

The Belfry

Sutton Coldfield

Having played host to four Ryder Cups and the post-competition shenanigans that come with it, The Belfry certainly knows how to throw a party. Bedrooms are far better than its four-star grading would suggest, and its list of facilities is enough to make the world’s top spa hotels blush. Three...read more

The Milk House

Kent

Sissinghurst is in one of the most bucolic corners of Kent. Indeed, at times it veers into being almost unbelievably pretty. The region’s windmills, cherry orchards and red-brick farmhouses could have floated out of a storybook about Merrie England, while Vita Sackville-West’s (of the Bloomsbury Set) gardens at Sissinghurst Castle...read more

Aman summer palace

Beijing

Eat, drink and breathe China’s mind-blowing Empirical past at this lavish resort. Built during the Qing dynasty to house dignitaries awaiting an audience with the emperor at the Summer Palace, it still boasts a secret door into this Unesco World Heritage Site. Slip in before the main gates have opened...read more
