Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa, India
Just 30km from Rishikesh, the self-
styled yoga capital of the world, this
sprawling 79-room haven of rustic
luxury has the dramatic Himalayas as
its backdrop, and the sacred Ganges at
its feet. The Jiva Spa lies at the heart of
the resort, and offers a menu of ancient
holistic therapies. Explore your spiritual
side with a private Ganga Aarti ritual,
or seek adventure with rafting, rock
climbing and trekking action on tap.


Jumeirah Living Guangzhou, China
Location is everything at this home-
away-from-home styled CBD hotel,
which has the Canton Tower and
Guangzhou Opera House on its
doorstep. The 169 suite residences
are split between two iconic towers,
each with its own design aesthetic.
With Guangzhou the birthplace of
Cantonese cuisine, the hotel celebrates
the city's pioneering flavours and is
also home to the upscale Winter Mall.

The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah
A palm-fringed paradise private
island in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll, this
all-villa hideaway is rich with Maldivian
architectural influences and a surfeit of
five-star facilities. Nature takes centre
stage whether you choose the luxury
of a sunrise/sunset beach villa or
over-the-water residence. Explore local
villages, watch dolphins at play, snorkel
by night and feast at your pleasure
with a bespoke private dining occasion.
