One and Only Resorts
One&Only Portovini - Montenegro

If you’re looking for a versatile European getaway where you can lounge on a private beach, hike in nearby forests, explore quaint Medieval towns, and enjoy all the amenities of a 5-star resort then this is the trip for you. It’s where culture and luxury meet natural beauty.

Our Habitas
Habitas - Nambia
If you want a new way to safari, then look no further than Habitas, Namibia.
The hotel group aims to provide incredible one-of-a-kind experiences and is not your typical luxury resort. Their Nambia location looks to provide visitors with an experience that’ll combine wellness, adventure, culture, and sustainability. The hotel is situated in a 120,000+ acre wildlife reserve and also acts as a conservation project.
You can opt for a safari room, with stunning panoramic views of the reserve, or a private villa. As sustainability is a Habitas brand value, all their rooms incorporate eco-friendly natural materials, with a modern understated luxury aesthetic.
With only 15 guest rooms in total, you’ll be sure that you have an intimate and personal visit. For more information, check out the Conde Nast Traveler review.
The Leela
The Leela Palace - Jaipur, India
If you want to visit Jaipur in style, the newly opened Leela Palace is the embodiment of modern Indian luxury.
The resort’s design is inspired by royal Rajputana heritage and pays tribute to the local culture and craftsmanship. Each square inch of the hotel is opulent and exquisitely refined, evoking traditional palatial grandeur.
Equipped with all the amenities of an uber-luxe 5-star hotel, at The Leela Palace you’ll be pampered like royalty. Read more in the Remote Lands review.
Paragon 700
Paragon 700 Boutique Hotel & Spa - Ostini, Italy
If southern Italy is on your travel list then the Paragon 700 Boutique Hotel & Spa is a must-see.
It opened just last June and was a major conservation project. The former 17th century Palazzo Rosso had been empty for 40 years until esteemed architects and interior designers, Pascale Lauber and Ulrike Bauschke took on the project.
The result is the perfect blend of old meets new, fusing centuries of Italian and global history with contemporary style. Each of the 11 rooms and suites is uniquely designed, as no two rooms are the same. As a boutique hotel, it doesn’t boast all the amenities of a luxury resort but has a spa (complete with Turkish bath), swimming pool, gardens, and 4 dining options - features that are unique for the area.

Hotel Sin Nombre - Oaxaca, Mexico
Though the exterior of Hotel Sin Nombre doesn’t look like much, inside is a stunning and elegant retreat.
The design is distinctly clean and minimal but draws on colonial Spanish, Mesoamerican, and North African influences, blending the region’s rich history with a modern aesthetic.
The hotel has a vegan restaurant in its central atrium and a rooftop terrace and pool. Check out Luxury Latin America for more details.
Amanzoe
Amanzoe - Argolida, Greece
