Le Meridien Tampa, Florida
Tampa Bay is a big cruising port and attracts the creme-de-la-creme of discerning travelers. As a result, it is blessed with plenty of boutique hotel options, but Le Meridien stands out from the crowd.
Housed in a historic federal courthouse, it offers bright, spacious suites, a 24-hour health center, and a delicious in-house brasserie with mouthwatering signature eclairs. A real gem in this excellent, often underrated Florida city.
Awarta Nusa Dua Luxury Villas & Spa, Bali
With a name that directly translates as ‘treasure’ you might expect this joint to be something special, and you would not be disappointed! Awarta Nusa Dua is a jewel of a hotel, winning the award for Best Boutique Hotel in the World in 2019.
Boasting 14 villas surrounded by bonsai and frangipani trees, it is a gem of a boutique hotel, shining even amongst the impressive range of luxury options that Bali has to offer.
Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge, South Africa
This delightful, family-owned game lodge on the Sabi Sand Game Reserve is a charming spot, with effortlessly excellent service, and is a truly pleasant way to safari. It’s a wonderful option for families looking for a bit of a treat as it offers a range of great activities suitable for all ages–from game drives to bush walks. The lodge also boasts a gorgeous pool, a deck with a panoramic view of the reserve, and an elegantly designed library for after-dinner drinks.
Posada Yum Kin, Tulum
Tulum’s beachside resorts and boutiques are world-famous, but this excellent spot is actually set back from the coastline, tucked away in the heart of the jungle. This gives it a wonderfully hidden, untouristy vibe, which is a welcome break from the excesses of the Riviera Maya. The beautiful traditional Mexican decor makes this a special and authentic place to stay.
