Gravetye Manor

Ross Fraser — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

The Michelin-starred Dining Room at Gravetye Manor is a highlight of any stay here. Many ingredients come from the country house’s century-old walled kitchen garden – of which floor-to-ceiling windows provide an ample view. The grounds are stunning and the hotel runs tours of the gardens alone. Inside, 17 rooms are each named after trees on the estate, furnished with antiques, pastel textiles, oil paintings and flowers freshly picked from outside. The building dates back to the 16th century and the portraits of the original owners can be seen carved above the fireplace in one of the bedrooms.

Parīlio, a Member of Design Hotels

Ross Fraser — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Another of Konstantinidou and Eliopoulos’ hotels, Parīlio’s style takes its cue from traditional Cycladic architecture. However, an international array of design pieces have been included in the interiors, with Italian lighting, Danish furniture and North African motifs. A cool simplicity comes from materials such as coloured concrete, terracotta floors and local marble. Found on the unspoilt northeastern coast, it has 33 suites, a cross-shaped swimming pool with a bar, a spa using organic products and a taverna-style restaurant. Although it’s incredibly sophisticated and calming, Parīlio is also very family-friendly with space to play and a babysitting service.

A 14th-century Dominican monastery, this hotel has historic river view rooms (singles through to suites) in its Casa Grande and minimalist self-catering villas overlooking the vineyards. Christopher Colombus once stayed in the Tuscan inspired property, which is located in the lush Duero Valley, just 10 minutes from the city centre. It incorporates a winemaking hacienda – frequent guided tours are offered – and from which the hotel’s wine cellar is stocked. Produce from the onsite organic farm is also served in gourmet restaurants. Hacienda Zorita exudes understated luxury, with two pools, a terrace and open-air movie nights in the summer.

Hero Beach Club Hamptons

Ross Fraser — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Montauk was once populated by creatives, surfers and those who made their living from the water. But it’s becoming increasingly sought after by well-heeled visitors in recent times, with hotels like the Hero Beach Club popping up. The property has a laid back charm though – you won’t find a dedicated restaurant, but you will be provided with complimentary morning bagels and coffee, as well as s’mores roasting on some nights. The design in the 30 bedrooms (most with balconies) is airy and mirrors the natural pastel hues seen in the coastal landscape. Outside, there’s a large heated pool, with plenty of lounging space and movie nights held under the stars.

Four Seasons Bora Bora

Ross Fraser — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Featuring 100 stunning over-water bungalows, the Four Seasons is a 13-year-old resort that oozes luxury. The site is expansive, with landscaped gardens, a plethora of onsite activities, its own boutiques and multiple dining choices. As such, you’ll need to like walking or grab a lift on one of its many golf buggies to get around. It’s not all about lying back and sunning yourself (although doing that on one of the poolside teak loungers is a pleasure). Here you can take part in a workshop with the hotel’s own marine biologist, learn a paddle sport, or practise yoga. The opulent Kahai Spa is quite something — it has treatments incorporating 24-carat gold.
