Island luxe

Mauna Lani Auberge Resorts Collection, Hawaii

Few would argue that a holiday in Hawaii is always a good idea.

Now, there’s an even better reason to visit the much-loved US destination.

After closing its doors in October 2018 after joining Auberge Resorts Collection, the former Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows has undergone a $100 million makeover.

The reimagined oceanfront resort, set on 32 acres on the Big Island’s Kohala Coast, is the stuff island holiday dreams are made of.

From the lush tropical gardens to the 333 contemporary guest rooms, suites and private bungalow residences, three swimming pools, Auberge Spa and five restaurants and lounges each with an emphasis on seasonality and sustainability, this property offers a luxurious island holiday in a naturally beautiful setting.

Desert dreaming

Camp Sarika by Amangiri

To mark the 10th birthday of Utah’s five-star Amangiri resort, Aman will open Camp Sarika by Amangiri in April this year.

This is no ordinary glamping experience, however, with the idyllic, all-seasons escape, set on 55 hectares overlooking iconic flat-topped mesa rock formations, offering just 10 luxury one or two-bedroom tented pavilions with private plunge pools, a restaurant and unique, intimate access to the surrounding desert landscape.

Guests can take part in desert and mountain hikes, wellness experiences, horse riding and storytelling and star gazing around a camp fire at night to enable a deeper immersion into Native American culture.

Floating Chic

Arctic Bath

Those seeking a truly unique travel experience in 2020 shouldn’t miss a trip to this floating hotel located in Swedish Lapland.

Offering a luxurious overnight spa experience based on four cornerstones - proper nutrition, regular exercise, peace of mind and care of face and body - guests can opt to stay in one of six floating cabins or six cabins on land.

There’s a 24-hour bar and all rooms will have full soundproofing and blackout curtains as well as quirky touches and a personal tablet pre-loaded with a London city guide for a truly immersive experience.
