Six Senses Fiji offers something quietly special. Tucked into the west coast of Malolo Island, surrounded by protected marine waters and backed by jungle-covered hills, it’s a place where luxury is deeply connected to nature. From the moment you arrive—whether by speedboat or private helicopter—everything shifts down a gear. Shoes come off, shoulders drop, and the rhythm of the island begins to take over.
Remote, refined and richly immersive—COMO Laucala Island is one of the most exclusive private island escapes in the world. Set in the northern reaches of the Fijian archipelago, this 3,500-acre sanctuary blends dramatic volcanic landscapes with sugar-white beaches, dense rainforest and coral-rich lagoons. 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.
There are luxury hotels, and then there’s Badrutt’s Palace. Framed by snow-dusted peaks and overlooking the frozen lake in the heart of St. Moritz, this legendary address has been setting the standard for alpine glamour since 1896 – and still somehow manages to feel fresh, exciting, and quietly untouchable.
Some hotels feel like a destination in themselves—and then there’s Passalacqua. Perched above Lake Como in the charming village of Moltrasio, this exquisite 18th-century villa has been meticulously reimagined by the family behind the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. With just 24 suites, it feels more like stepping into an aristocratic lakeside retreat than a hotel—where grand interiors, warm hospitality, and a deep sense of place come together effortlessly.
Perched high above Ravello, Caruso, A Belmond Hotel is a dazzling escape that feels like stepping into a living postcard of the Amalfi Coast. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s an experience that blends centuries-old history with the effortless, understated luxury that defines Belmond. Originally a 11th-century palace, the property oozes old-world charm, but it’s the sharp modern touches and impeccable service that really bring it into the 21st century.
Sani Dunes is all about relaxed luxury. Set within the expansive Sani Resort, this place manages to be effortlessly cool while offering a level of sophistication that doesn’t feel stuffy. Think spacious, sleek rooms with stunning views, a private beach to call your own, and world-class dining options that don’t need to shout about it.
Sani Club is the definition of a hidden gem within the exclusive Sani Resort, tucked away on the lush Kassandra Peninsula in Halkidiki. It’s a place that knows how to balance its quiet, understated luxury with the kind of laid-back atmosphere that makes it so easy to settle in.
