. Deplar Farm, IcelandI discovered Deplar Farm at the end of last year and it remains in my mind constantly. Not only is it the incredibly remote setting in the stark fjords of the north, but the exquisite food by chef Gardar Gardarsson, the sleek spa where you can swim out into the geothermal pool and sip bespoke cocktails under the glow of Northern Lights, and the communal vibe of cottage-cosy interiors make it just incomparable. The staff feel more like friends and the experiences are exactly what you want from a holiday: it’s all about you, here. Petit Ermitage, Los AngelesWest Hollywood's Petit Ermitage is like an LA imagining of Europe that would only work in LA, and feels as though it has decades of history, despite only having opened in 2007. There’s a mix of influences; equal parts Spanish colonial, Parisian boudoir and Moroccan riad, with a sprinkling of the circus. Life revolves around the roof terrace, where orange and white striped beds flank the saltwater pool.

I was there in 2019 for their epic annual Halloween party, which was wonderfully weird and totally unforgettable.By Rachel CranshawRead the full review. Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, ThailandA series of swish hotels line the banks of Bangkok’s Chao Phraya river, but everyone knows the Oriental is the only place to stay. It’s legendary, having first opened in 1876, and has hosted a library’s worth of enthralled writers since, but this is no museum. It has been kept elegantly updated, always filling its halls with dramatic floral displays and its restaurants with world-class chefs. At its heart, it is wedded to its river. Every room has views and gazing at life on the water is irresistible, especially the hotel’s wooden boats, which drift back and forth to the spa and Thai restaurant. Brae, Birregurra, Victoria, AustraliaTwo hours from Melbourne is the organic farm where maverick chef-owner Dan Hunter earns his plaudits.
Arrive at lunchtime to sublime set menus that contort pre-conceptions, such as iced oysters realised as milky ice cream with a briny twist. Following hours of feasting, and innumerable paired wines, stroll into Aussie-style country suites, pitching slate floors and recycled red bricks against designer furnishings and sleek dark steel, for exceptional rural peace, only interrupted when your supper basket arrives. Listen to vinyl until the wee hours, then fall asleep under stargazing skylights. Cours Et Pavillons, BeijingSometimes I feel like I don’t pay proper appreciation to the rich history and culture of my home country, China. A visit to this hotel has changed that.
It’s built in the style of a siheyuan (Beijing’s traditional courtyard residence); the intricate beams paintings are done by the same experts who repair artwork in the Forbidden City. Rooms are more like living museums, with antique furniture you can touch and use. It’s simply a magnificent showcase of Chinese style.By Venus WongRead the full review.

Katikies Hotel, SantoriniSantorini is the queen of sunsets, sea views and swimming pools – and Katikies is one of the best places to experience all three. The hotel is made up of a puzzle of whitewashed rooms tumbling down Oia's cliffside, all with knockout views of the caldera. I will always think back fondly of the afternoon I spent there lounging by an infinity pool that practically melted into the horizon, before a fish feast in the intimate, candle-lit restaurant Mikrasia that reminded me of a secret treehouse. It’s the romantic Greek island utopia everyone dreams about, but not many find. The Madonna Inn, San Luis de Obispo, CaliforniaMadonna Inn is a kitsch confection of a motel located off the 101, halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
It is a fantastical love letter to Americana and certainly not one for minimalists: white turrets, spiral staircases and lashings of Barbie pink - including even the tennis and basketball courts. No two rooms are the same; many are themed (think Caveman, with rock formations, and a jungle room). The pool (with a waterfall feature, naturally) has a dual view of both road and rolling green hills.
Don’t miss the giftshop, where they sell their signature goblets, or the bakery, which serves huge, decorative chunks of cake.By Jade Conroy. Nihi Sumba, IndonesiaThis faraway hotel is just an hour's flight from Bali but on an untouched island twice the size. Thatched villas with private pools twist their way up a jungle-tangled cove that overlooks a large stretch of soft sand – where horses from the hotel's stables can be found playing in the waves. One wave, God’s Left, is particularly famous and led to the hotel’s existence when the owners started a surf shack there in the Eighties. Butlers tend to each villa, and nothing is too much trouble.
This is the stuff of tropical dreams. Scribner’s Catskill Lodge, New York StateThis mountain lodge was given a makeover and became a member of Design Hotels at the end of 2016, when the Catskills were really taking off as the out-of-town weekend destination for Brooklynites. I visited in spring 2017, before its dreamy heated outdoor pool had opened, and was utterly captivated by the achingly stylish Scandi, outdoorsy-chic design, complete with fires and in-room Smore kits to enjoy on the wooden terrace with craft cocktails and killer views.By Rachel CranshawRead the full review. Phum Baitang, Siem Reap, CambodiaIt’s unlikely that anyone arrives at Phum Baitang without letting out a small gasp as the 20-acre resort, modelled on a traditional Cambodian village, reveals itself. Get your bearings by riding cream-coloured bicycles along wooden pathways which weave through rice paddies, past palm trees and lazing water buffalo. Open-plan villas are styled on a Khmer home, though the sleek interiors and stone tubs are pure rustic luxury. At night the resort is lit up by candles as guests tuck into curries of local fish served on home-grown rice.
Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur, CaliforniaThis hotel is hidden on a bluff 1,200ft above sea level, in California’s mystical Big Sur. On one side there are 180-degrees views of the big blue; on the other, an oil painting-like frame of the Double Cone and Manuel peaks. The wooden huts and angular treehouses are architectural marvels – the restaurant, which has glass walls on one side, is suspended over the hill so you feel like you’re closer to heaven than earth. The two infinity pools, heated to 40 degrees Celsius, are available 24 hours a day – it is from here that I spotted condors, deer, bunnies and even, on one afternoon, the faint rings of whales breaching below.By Jade ConroyRead the full review.
Casa Fayette, Guadalajara, MexicoLeafy Mexican chic through the lens of Wes Anderson is the order of the day at the Habita group's Casa Fayette, in the architectural heaven that is Guadalajara. Breakfast on the lush terrace and observe the leisurely neighbourhood goings-on, lounge on the chic pool deck, or simply admire every carefully thought-through design detail – from sultry red tasseled keys to avocado-green units in rooms.
I had never stayed anywhere quite like here and am sure I never will again. Phinda Homestead, andBeyond Phinda Private Game Reserve, South AfricaI don’t think I will ever forget my first safari. That would have been the case wherever I went, but the fact I returned from game drives to Phinda Homestead, pushed this trip into the hyperbolic. This four-bedroom villa with alluring rim-flow pool is found on the andBeyond Phinda Private Game Reserve (also home to six traditional lodges) and is known for its stellar conservation efforts. One night, we returned from watching elephants play in the watering hole, to find the bath in our room already run, candles lit, and a glass of port poured. Pure joy.By Lizzie Frainier. Fermain Valley Hotel, GuernseyFermain Valley isn’t the most stylish hotel in the world, nor is it the most high-spec.
What it is, however, is peaceful. Remarkably so. It resides on Guernsey’s lush southeastern coast at the head of a narrow valley that cuts sharply down to the sea. A winding path takes you down through a fragrant subtropical garden to a little cove, fringed by sandy beach and tree-lined cliffs and lapped at by startling clear waters. A few days here and the worries of the world just melt away.By Tom MulvihillRead the full review. La Donaira, Andalusia, SpainNever have I felt more at home at a hotel than in this stylish farmstead in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. Perhaps it’s Nicky, who whips you up eggs while chatting to you from the open kitchen at breakfast, or kind-eyed maitre’d Bienvenidos who pours you even kinder glasses of biodynamic wine from the cellar.
Huge picture windows remind guests where they are and the spa is open 24 hours a day meaning you can time a visit for sunrise or sunset. By day there’s hiking and horse-riding, by night there’s karaoke (and more wine). The Caves, Negril, JamaicaThe Caves is a boutique, exclusive resort of just 12 cabins, set atop and aside the cliffs of Negril. Staying here is a high-luxe experience, yet still with a certain sense of homeliness –cabins are cute, colourful and refreshingly lo-fi. Access to the sea is via a series of characteristic jump spots, with ladders for the less daredevil such as myself. Watching the sunset from a hammock with a fresh lime daiquiri is among my favourite memories of being there.By Rachel CranshawRead the full review. Nick’s Cove, Marshall, CaliforniaIn northern California, on the edge of Tomales Bay on the Point Reyes National Seashore there’s a line of lovely cottages.
Some sit directly above the water on stilts, and others are found just behind, but all come with a wood-burning stove and plenty of cosy character. I spent childhood holidays exploring the area, a narrow inlet on the Pacific Ocean known for its rugged coastline and tip-top oysters (three of which you’ll find in your room on arrival), but only recently stayed here on a return trip with my dad. Nick’s Cove is best known for its seafood restaurant; and slurping up barbecued oysters slathered in garlic with multiple glasses of wine featured heavily on our father-daughter trip. Stone House, Ubud, BaliWith only a limestone wall along the road, Stone House gifts remarkable seclusion from Ubud's vibrant – and oft-saturated – heart. It's a tropical sanctuary where every strand seems to tell a story: a canopied bed crafted from ironwood salvaged from Sulawesi (distressed after a century underwater), an outdoor sectional sofa made from reclaimed railroad ties, a Javanese palace wall. A warm pool made of hand-cut stone sits on the edge of rice paddies, where you can ease through humid days before evenings of nasi campur and beef rendang by candlelight. Primero Primera, BarcelonaLocated in the upmarket, but not particularly central Tres Torres neighbourhood, Primero Primera is not one for first-timers to Barcelona.
But if you’ve had your fill of Las Ramblas and Gaudi, there is nowhere better. This family-owned hotel (the elegant matriarch still lives on the top floor) blends sleek design and homeliness in a way that feels rather singular. Sepia-tinted family photos sit on mantle pieces, walls are painted in moody colours and there is a chic little honesty bar that invites lounging. No wonder it's the top choice for indie artists coming to play at the city's summer festivals. Menorca Experimental, SpainI may have been stung by a jellyfish, but this autumnal weekend trip to Menorca still remains in my memory as one of the greatest of all time - and that's largely down to Menorca Experimental. It's a beauty in peachy pink, terracotta and white.
This 19th-century farmhouse was turned into a boutique resort by the French-born cocktail bar and hotel group Experimental Group. Expect finely tuned interior design, pomadas by the pool and a wealth of secret coves on your doorstep. This is the kind of new-wave farmhouse styling that makes you want to re-evaluate the interior choices you've made in your own home.By Jade ConroyRead the full review.
