You go on holiday and you take a spa treatment, nothing
wrong with that. But more and more invest a week or two per year
for a dedicated wellness holiday where the purpose of the journey is
both inner and outer care. One hotel said give us your body for a
week and we give you back your life. A wellness holiday can indeed
be a life changing experience and we have personally tried the best
places in the world. Flip the page for a few recommendations on
wellness devoted places we feel offer the full stop we need
occasionally to reboot our lifestyle. If you are looking for a more
casual holiday but with access to a great spa this is offered by most
of our hotel par tners and the actual facilities are described on the

Holiday time means more time for the people
and activities you enjoy. Many of our clients love
to play tennis. For you we have indicated resorts
which offer TENNIS in the header of the hotel page.
We require the hotel to have an onsite tennis court
in order to be marked accordingly. If your interest
is not shared by your travel companion many of
our resorts have talented team members who can
challenge you in a game, this we have experienced
for example at Soneva Fushi in the Maldives,
Amanpulo in the Philippines and St. Regis on
Mauritius. Whether you are looking to laze
away the afternoon with a game of croquet
with a Pimms in your hand or want to sweat

enough if not flanked by great quality food,
luxurious accommodations and top notch service.
Our golf destinations also tend to be a tad more

HOTEL S
In this section we feature a selected number
of hotels that are new on the scene.

GR EEC E , A M A N ZOE
Perhaps the most exciting hotel addition in Europe for a long time.
An architectural masterpiece somewhat resembling Acropolis and
bringing us back to the days of Socrates. The beach club is the
place to be and is a 10 minute drive from the hotel. Located on
the east coast of the Peloponnese near the town of Por to Heli
and viewing the island of Spetses.

LON DON , CA FÉ ROYA L


On Regent Street just by Piccadilly Circus is this hidden gem.
A classic building with a stor y sees 159 contemporar y guest rooms
reengineered by David Chipper f ield architects. The result
is striking, never have we seen marble mastered like in these
bathrooms, thick cut chunks of marble dress the walls and
the bathtub is shaped out of a full piece. Apparently the structure
of the building had to be reinforced to cope with the weight
of all that marble. Oh and don’t miss a glass of Champagne
in the famed Grill Room and if you dare a drink from
the Absinthe fountain in the bar.
V IE T NA M , BA N YA N
TREE LANG CO
All pool villa resor t located between the city of Hue and Da Nang
facing the East Sea and framed by the Truong Son mountain range.
The golf course designed by legendar y Nick Faldo is immersed in jungle
with plenty of water so you are in for a challenging round. We strongly
recommend selecting the beach villas, no point travelling this far and not
enjoying the sensational views.

M AU R I T IU S ,
T H E ST. R EGI S
A classy addition located on one of the most
fantastic stretches of beach the island has to
offer with Le Morne mountain as a backdrop.
Our favorite features include dining at
Floating Market thanks to the ambient red
lights and great Malay and Vietnamese dishes,
the cabanas by the main pool and the couple
treatment rooms in the spa are ver y
impressive. Last but not least the massive
4-bedroom residence is like nothing
Mauritius has ever seen before.

Who thought the ocean could be so turquoise in the Middle East? This
beach resor t located on Saadiyat Island just outside of Abu Dhabi offers
a private beach and separate adult and children’s pool. The Gar y Player
designed golf course is at your footstep. The St. Regis is a great alternative
to Dubai, Abu Dhabi airpor t is 20 minutes and Dubai airpor t is 80 minutes
by car. From both airpor ts the hotel offers private transfers with a Bentley
and it is actually affordable.

ST. PETERSBURG, FOUR SEASONS


HOTEL LION PALACE
From the magnif icently restored white marble lions who guard the entrance, (they
sur vived the Second World War) on to the main staircase with its original granite steps,
to ceilings decorated by bronze and gold elements, guests are immersed in the Imperial
histor y of Lion Palace. This is probably Four Seasons most ambitious and culturally
impor tant hotel opening (along with its Florence proper ty). Facilities include a four stor y
health club with a relaxation pool under a glass dome on the top f loor. 157 rooms and
26 suites with elegant interiors. Ser vice is nothing less than per fect in an intelligent way.
Wow, dare we label it as Russia’s best hotel without competition?
KENYA, MAHALI MZURI

Sir Richard Branson’s latest project includes
12 platform raised tents with their characteristic

by a young Kenyan architect. The lodge manager

From handpicking coffee blends and grinding the
beans to camping at the sight before construction

To bring the extended family on holiday
is increasingly popular and some resor ts
are adapting accordingly.

When size matters a multi bedroom villa can do the job.


Resor ts have seen the increase in demand for large villa
units with many bedrooms. The residence at St. Regis
Mauritius with its 4 bedrooms and massive oceanfront space
is impressive to say the least. At Soneva Fushi in the Maldives
several large villa units are in the making and the largest will
have 8 bedrooms and take up more than 5500 square meters
of space. At Soneva Kiri on pristine Koh Kood in Thailand the Soneva K iri Private Clif f Reser ve

Turquoise seas surround green islands where medieval towns retain Venetian
charm. Fair y tale Dubrovnik is a must. Korcula has an exquisite town sculpted in
pale stone. Hvar watches yachts glide in with glitterati behind sunglasses.
In Rovinj Italian lifestyle still marks the vibrant streets. In Montenegro, wild
mountains plunge down to brilliant turquoise sea and splendid Gothic cities.
We have our own hotspot – the medieval isle of Sveti Stefan…
