Anantaras collection of 83 villas, each with their own private pool, is framed by magnificent Bill Bensley-designed gardens with enchanting paths meandering down to the sea. Reminiscent of a southern Thai village, each villa boasts a spacious living area, colourful silks, prized Thai furniture, and a beautiful bathroom featuring an Anantara signature outdoor terrazzo tub that seamlessly blends with the private pool.

Travel + Leisure says..."For its first Phuket property, Anantara eschewed bare-bones minimalism in favor of a fresh take on classic Thai aesthetics. Hidden within a former coconut plantation are 83 bougainvillea-covered villas, whose wooden walls and sloping roofs make guests feel as if they're meandering through a local village. But therAs nothing rustic here: each villa, clad in teak and raw silk, comes with a swimming pool, an outdoor daybed, and a terrazzo bathtub. The expansive spa lured us from our rooms for the kind of massage that makes jet-lagged muscles thankful to be in Thailand."-From www.travelandleisure.comConde Nast Traveler says..."The Anantara makes a welcome addition to the handful of five-star resorts strung along the 10km-long Mai Khao beach, which is still blissfully serene with nary a girlie bar in sight. Its 83 villas, built around a man-made lagoon, offer all the hi-tech trappings we have come to expect (iPod docks, surround-sound systems, WiFi access) as well as plenty of silk and sumptuous details, such as lovely essential-oil-infused bathroom products, to remind you exactly where you are. All the villas have private pools and outdoor bathtubs. It's an incredibly sexy place, and laid-back, too, thanks in part to the charming staff and Thai village ambience. A sunset dip in the gorgeous infinity-edged swimming pool is a romantic way to start your evening, followed by dinner at the beachfront Sea.Fire.Salt restaurant where a salt sommelier pairs dishes with a dozen varieties, such as hickory-smoked sea-salt. Given how splendid the villas are, it's unsurprising that in-room dining is wildly popular (you may want to be around when your housekeeper delivers the platter of Thai snacks at turn-down), and kayaking under the still, starry skies can be arranged post-dinner."

At the heart of the cabernet-sauvignon- merlot and chardonnay vines of Napa Valley- the French restaurateur Claude Rouas has created a discreet and elegant hotel hidden amongst a grove of olive trees that evoke his love of Provence in the South of France. A handful of houses perched on the hillside offer spacious -maisons- with private terraces where aged French oak floors- colorful chenille fabrics- abstract paintings and fireplaces create an air of romance. The Mediterranean-inspired cuisine features the very best of the region and the spa- which also draws its cue from the land- proposes treatments based on grapes- olives- herbs- flowers- mud and minerals. The 15-000 bottles in the wine cellar promise an oenophiles journey to the wine heaven as you watch the sun setting on the horizon.

The treatments at the 7,000-square-foot spa all incorporate ingredients harvested from the local hillsides (an especially delicious option: the Meyer lemon-olive oil massage).

Travel + Leisure says..."A stay at Bernardus Lodge proves that Napa hotels don't have a monopoly on California's premier wine country. The romantic 57-suite Bernardus is ideally situated in a lush mountain valley between the Monterey peninsula and the Big Sur coast (about 160 miles south of Napa Valley) and close to the region's well-regarded wineries and celebrated golf links. The all-suite accommodations blend antiques and wood-beam ceilings with the requisite high-tech touches, plus plush beds, soaking tubs, and wood-burning fireplaces. The lodge's Marinus restaurant, with chef Cal Stamenov at the helm, has evolved into one of northern California's premier dining spots, serving California natural cuisine: dishes include Sonoma duck and grilled quail served with risotto, chanterelle, and foie gras sauce, and Carmel Bay prawns and shellfish bisque flavored with cilantro and jalapeAo, paired with prize-winning Marinus Estate Bordeaux-style wine from the lodge's own vineyard. There's plenty to keep you occupied in the immediate surroundings, from hikes and horseback riding in the nearby Santa Lucia mountains to tennis, croquet, or bocce on the lodge lawns, but who wants to leave your perch overlooking vineyards, rolling hills, and lavender blossoms?" -From Travel + Leisure
