OUR PICK OF THE

ROOMS

WHY WE

LOVE IT

China's southeast

coast has natural

beauty aplenty –

the Grand Canal

stretching from

Beijing to Hangzhou is

a feat to behold.

The Grand Canal View

Room has serene

views and a lush

rainforest shower,

while the Executive

Room includes access

to the lounge.

For equal amounts of

modern luxury and

historic significance

on your doorstep. Plus

authentic Hangzhou

cuisine at Zi Chen

Chinese Restaurant.

Amid rolling hills

overlooking the

Med, Anantara Villa

Padierna Palace

Benahavis Marbella

Resort shines on

Spain’s southern coast.

The Presidential Villa

sleeps two adults and

one child, and has

a private swimming

pool, rooftop terrace,

and butler service

during the day.

Home to 1,200 original

artworks, this gallery

hotel has a private

beach club, spa, and

three golf courses, with

Spanish cuisine on tap.

Accessible only by

yacht, you can expect

classic Maldivian

magic: white sand

beaches, crystal clear

waters and breath-

taking vistas.

The ultra-exclusive

Ithaafushi Private Island

has five bedrooms, two

villas, five pools, and an

entertainment centre –

a private sandy island

paradise.

Foodies are spoilt for

choice with 11 dining

concepts to discover.

We rate Terra where

you can dine amid

the treetops in one of

seven bamboo nests.
