You’ll find all the barefoot charm you’d expect, but with sharper edges: clever design, impeccable service, and experiences that go beyond the ordinary.

There’s nowhere else in the Maldives quite like Soneva Fushi. This is the place that redefined the idea of barefoot luxury—long before it became a buzzword—and it still leads with quiet confidence.

There are luxury hotels, and then there’s Badrutt’s Palace.

Not all Adriatic escapes are created equal. One&Only Portonovi doesn’t just flirt with grandeur—it owns it, unapologetically.
