Set into the rocky peninsula of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (10 minutes from Monaco), The Maybourne Riviera is the latest addition to the Maybourne Hotel Group’s enviable portfolio – think Claridge’s, The Berkeley and The Maybourne Beverly Hills, among others. A striking piece of modernist architecture, the property’s 45 rooms and 24 suites are cleverly built into the jagged peninsula that spills down into the glistening Mediterranean Sea. A number of suites offer split-level aspects and private plunge pools, while guests also enjoy the striking infinity pool, indoor pool, spa and fitness suite, or take a stroll around the restored ancient gardens that surround the hotel.
Amanvari – which derives its name from the Sanskrit words for “peace” and “water” – is the iconic Aman hotel chain’s first property in Mexico. Located on the East Cape, Los Cabos’s lesser-known neighbor, the contemporary and understated Amanvari is made up of 20 secluded pavilions on a private stretch of white-sand beach on the shores of the Sea of Cort s. Offering floor-to-ceiling windows and wraparound sundeck terraces – and some of their own cantilevered pool – these pavilions are the perfect place from which to explore the Baja Peninsula with its serene beaches, freshwater swimming holes and fishing villages.
The first BREEAM-certified resort on the island of Ibiza, the recently opened Six Senses Ibiza is all about sustainable luxury. Located in the lesser-known northern tip of the white isle, which has become known for its bohemian vibe, the resort is a world away from the party region in the south. Spread across 20 acres, the property was built using renewable materials and is designed to meld seamlessly into the topography. The resort’s culinary program continues the Six Senses group’s commitment to fresh, seasonable, organic produce, which ties in well with the island’s fork-to-table ethos, and of course the Six Senses Spa is a destination itself.
In an enviable position at the foot of Sicily’s Mount Pellegrino, the historical Villa Igiea is the latest addition to Rocco Forte Hotels’ Italian collection. Designed by Olga Polizzi, the turn-of-the-century palazzo features glamorous Art Nouveau interiors that pay homage to its glorious heritage dating back to the Florio dynasty of the late 1800s. Choose from the George V, Igiea or Donna Franca suites (there are 104 bedrooms in total) and wake to find views over the tiered villa gardens that sweep down to the port and the Gulf of Palermo. Enjoy Rocco Forte’s signature service and superb Sicilian cuisine or head out to enjoy atmospheric Palermo, the long-loved Sicilian capital.
Elegant Mexico, whose portfolio offers luxury private villas at the heart of Los Cabos and Punta Mita, recently added two high-end properties to its growing collection: Hacienda 502 and Espiritu Casita 16. The Hacienda is a showcase of the company’s extremely sublime villas, with five ocean-view bedroom suites. For those looking for an alternative setting, the four-bedroom Espiritu Casita is located high in the hills above the Sea of Cortez. Along with sumptuous facilities and services – including a private butler and chef – guests staying at Espiritu Casita 16 are part of the Villa Del Mar community with access to the private beach club, Club 96. Both properties have access to the restaurants, bars, spa and golf course at the One&Only Palmilla resort.
