Six Senses Kanuhura feels like the Maldives in its most elemental form — powder-soft beaches, palm-fringed shorelines, and that irresistible castaway feeling, elevated by thoughtful, low-impact luxury.

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. You won’t find shiny marble lobbies or gold-plated finishes here. Instead, it’s wild jungle pathways, tree-root walls, villas hidden behind palms, and experiences that make you feel like you’re discovering the island for the first time—every day.

Remote, refined and richly immersive—COMO Laucala Island is one of the most exclusive private island escapes in the world.

Every inch feels deliberately untouched, yet every experience is seamlessly curated.
Perched dramatically on the clifftops of Kangaroo Island’s wild southern coast, Southern Ocean Lodge is one of Australia’s most iconic stays — reimagined, rebuilt, and more remarkable than ever. This is the kind of place where luxury doesn’t compete with the landscape, it flows with it: curved, low-slung architecture that disappears into the dunes, floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the crashing sea, and interiors that draw directly from the island’s raw, elemental beauty.
Tucked within the lush canopy of the Daintree Rainforest, where ancient trees meet river bends and birdsong replaces background noise, Silky Oaks Lodge is a sanctuary in every sense. This is where you come to slow down, sink in, and feel utterly enveloped by nature — but with the soft touch of luxury ever-present. Floor-to-ceiling glass, local artworks, rainforest-sourced botanicals, and a spa inspired by First Nations healing traditions — it’s wild, but polished.
At the edge of Australia’s spiritual heartland, Longitude 131° offers an extraordinary blend of raw natural beauty and refined luxury. Overlooking the rust-red curves of Uluru, this unique desert retreat immerses you in the stories of the land while delivering the kind of service and style usually reserved for the savannahs of Africa. Think: guided explorations by day, degustation dining under the stars by night, and an atmosphere so effortlessly relaxed, it feels like stepping into nature’s own private lounge.
Not all Adriatic escapes are created equal. One&Only Portonovi doesn’t just flirt with grandeur—it owns it, unapologetically.
