Perched in the paradise that is Mallorca, Bikini Island & Mountain Hotel Port de Sóller is equipped with everything you need for a perfect island holiday. Here, raw handcrafted textures, wooden tables, tiles, and multicoloured woven rugs weave a casual luxury that balances on a fine line between hotel, home, and hangout. Set in the heart of Palma de Mallorca’s historic quarter, Boutique Hotel Sant Jaume puts guests a stone’s throw from the Spanish island’s top attractions while immersing them in contemporary urban design and one of the island’s top culinary offerings. A showpiece on the famed Elia Beach on the Greek island of Mykonos, Myconian Avaton is defined by its stunning panoramas; its traditional Cycladic architecture, blending local stone with white walls and wooden windows; and its sublime spa and wellness facilities, where modern and vintage furniture match the eternal spirit of the surroundings and private pools and Jacuzzis abound. With just four rooms—each unique and displaying artisanal and eclectic handiwork of Polish artists, architects, designers, curators, and craftsmen—Autor Rooms is far more than just a hotel; it is a key to the creativity that is today’s Warsaw. Grand boulevards, historic courtyards, landmark structures, and hot new restaurants characterises the setting for the new Tortue Hamburg, a 126-room masterpiece of hospitality and nightlife anchoring the Stadthöfe district in the city centre.

Created by a family who for years came to Bali to escape the stress of the “real world” before finally moving here permanently, Suarga Padang Padang lovingly showcases the delicate balance between age-old values and a multicultural 21st-century lifestyle in an exceptional environment. Hotel Amapa is rooted both physically and metaphorically in the Colonia Amapas neighbourhood of Puerto Vallarta, on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Its prestigious location allows guests to reengage with Puerto Vallarta in an authentic Old-World way that had been lost in an era of shiny big resorts.
