Three of New Zealand’s Most Beautiful Luxury Lodges
Adventure and impeccable accommodation unite.
For such a tiny country, New Zealand has a wealth of natural beauty to explore. But getting out of the city doesn’t have to mean roughing it.
Hotels and Resorts
Eden Rock Resort, St. Barths
Leisure island.
FROM THE ARCHIVE: There’s an undeniable aura of exclusivity surrounding the tiny isle of Saint Barthélemy. It’s in the emerald-blue harbour teeming with yachts, and in the distinctively French flair that pervades the island’s way of life.
The Shard, London
Such great heights.
Western Europe’s tallest building and the one-time private residence of a London fox.
The Berkeley Hotel, London
The British quotient.
Nestled in London’s Knightsbridge district, the Berkeley has been a landmark fixture since the turn of the century. The context of the hotel’s location, mere steps from Hyde Park, makes staying here a classic British experience.
Baur au Lac, Zurich
The Swiss family hotel.
Baur au Lac’s neo-classical façade hints at the old fashioned glamour that awaits inside, where kings and queens have rubbed shoulders with composers, artists, and silver screen stars.
Adler Thermae Spa & Relax Resort, Tuscany
Wellness in the water.
In Tuscany, the pursuit of mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy mind in a healthy body) has been popular since the Etruscans first discovered the pleasures of communal bathing in the region’s many natural thermal spas.
The Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Cartagena
A 17th-century Colombian convent-turned-hotel.
Whether the nuns would approve of the convent’s royal transformation is a mystery, but like so many things in Cartagena, the enigmatic past is part of the magic.
Costa Rica’s Nayara Springs
Volcano views.
With its remote location halfway between capital city San José and the Nicaraguan border to the north, Nayara Springs specializes in seclusion.
Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraíso
Next-level luxury in Cancun.
A jewel in the crown of Iberostar’s global family of luxury hotels, this adults-only, five-star resort was built to defy reality.
