…to temple accommodation and luxury jungle lodges
Experience Sukkubo, a rare gem exclusive to Japan’s temples. Nestled in beautiful natural settings, immerse in ancient traditions, and enjoy the unique spiritual tranquility of these places.

Caribbean and South America
Lavish pool sanctuaries for rooms with commanding unsurpassed views of the Pitons, 24 hour butler service, exquisite cuisine and a ‘celestial’ roof terrace, Jade Mountain in St Lucia certainly is one of the ‘coolest hotels’.
For the adventurer in you, who still relishes a good dose of luxury, South America’s new trend is luxury camps in utterly amazing locations. Patagonia Camp in Chile is our first choice in Torres del Paine.
If you seek an out of this world setting, Pristine Salinas Grandes luxury camp in Argentina is hard to beat.
Europe and North Africa
Olinto in the Atlas Mountains combines stunning Atlas Mountain views, luxurious accommodations, gourmet dining, personalised service, and unique experiences for an exclusive Moroccan retreat.

Tucked away in a private bay on Turkey’s south-west coast is the uber chic Yazz Collective.
Accessible only by speedboat, this is a remarkable romantic retreat during the week but a supercool party spot at the weekends…
And in Iceland, stay in an authentic Icelandic turf house at Torfhus Retreat offering the perfect blend of Viking culture, modern eco luxury in a tranquil setting yet in the heart of The Golden Circle.
