“A tropical modernist retreat surrounded by some of southern China’s most extraordinary scenery.”

LUX* Chongzuo sits on the banks of the Mingshi River, close to China’s border with Vietnam, surrounded by dramatic karst mountains and dense subtropical vegetation. The architecture is low-slung and modernist, using wood, stone and other natural materials to keep the focus on the landscape. River journeys, cycling and slower days outdoors make this less about conventional resort luxury and more about experiencing one of southern China’s most striking regions.

Hermitage Bay

Hotel

Caribbean

From $1,800

Hermitage Bay is a boutique all-inclusive resort on the west coast of Antigua, set in a secluded bay a short drive from St. John’s. Its 30 suites are spread across freestanding cottages, some right on the white-sand beach and others on the hillside behind, with private terraces, outdoor showers, deep soaking tubs and, in the hillside suites, plunge pools facing the sea. Meals change daily and draw on local ingredients, served in an open-air restaurant overlooking the water. Rates cover breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, cocktail hour and dinner with house wines, along with yoga, Pilates and meditation classes, non-motorized water sports and airport transfers, while the spa offers treatments at an extra cost.

Coral Sands Inn & Cottages

Hotel

Caribbean

From $1,030

Coral Sands Inn & Cottages sits directly on Pink Sand Beach on Harbour Island, a small island off Eleuthera in the Bahamas, a short walk from the colorful clapboard streets of Dunmore Town. Opened in 1968 by actor Brett King and his wife Sharon, it was recently redesigned in a playful, all-over pink that echoes the shore. Its 38 accommodations are divided into inn rooms, cottages and seaside homes, many with balconies over the water. Guests spend their days snorkeling, body boarding or lounging by the oceanfront pool, with two restaurants and a beach bar on site and a daily manager’s reception at sunset.

Southern Ocean Lodge

Hotel

Oceania, Australia

From $2,200

Southern Ocean Lodge sits on the limestone cliffs above Hanson Bay, on the wild south-west coast of Kangaroo Island, a short flight from Adelaide. Destroyed by bushfire in 2020, it reopened in late 2023 under its original architect, Max Pritchard, with 23 suites strung along the coastline, a central Great Room and a new four-bedroom Ocean Pavilion. The lodge runs almost entirely off-grid, powered by solar and battery systems and supplied by rainwater and an aquifer, while works by island and South Australian artists fill the interiors. Stays are all-inclusive, with menus built around local growers and fishermen, an open bar, signature island experiences, a spa and transfers included.
