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."

Travel + Leisure says..."In a place that already defines excess, Atlantis manages to push the envelope further. Situated on the arch of the Palm Jumeirah artificial island, the Dubai incarnation of the Bahamas resort is ersatz-oceanic in style with a 4-million-gallon Aquaventure theme park, a mile of powdery man-made beachfront, and a 65,000-creature marine habitat. And then there are the rooms 1,539 in all with waterfront balconies that look onto the Persian Gulf or the construction-project-in-action that is Dubai."-From www.travelandleisure.comConde Nast Traveler says..."This is the kind of hotel that makes guests wonder, 'Where do I begin?' Perhaps a splash in the giant Aquaventure theme park (complete with shark tube ride); a massage in one of the 27 treatment rooms at the Atlantis Spa; a dose of sun on any of its 1,000 beach chairs? With 1,500 bedrooms, 3,500 staff, 550 chefs in 17 restaurants and a $1.5 billion price tag, Atlantis the Palm is clearly thinking big. Fronting nearly a mile of man-made beach on Palm Jumeirah island, this is a seaside resort at its grandiose best. The accommodation is in two 19- and 22-storey towers linked by the massive, 1,000sq m Bridge Suite. With their neutral decor and spacious bathrooms, bedrooms are uniformly large and comfortable. Views are either of the shimmering Persian Gulf, or of the construction site that's the ongoing project of Palm Jumeirah island. Spread out over the immense ground floor area are luxury-goods shops, some excellent branded restaurants (Ronda Locatelli, Nobu), a trio of kids' clubs, Arabian coffee and shisha lounges as well as a nightclub, Sanctuary, and The Lost Chambers aquarium. The two Lost Chambers Suites have underwater views of the aquarium from the bedrooms, where you can look out at the 65,000 fish and marine creatures (including a pair of whale sharks).

Exclusive privacy, Independent beach, All pool villas, Banyan Tree Spa, Contemporary tropical garden.

Juicy Tidbits
Conde Nast Traveler says...
"The tropical island of Hainan (aka the 'Chinese Hawaii') has lately been experiencing something of a luxury-hotel boom. The palm-fringed island on the South China Sea attracts newly moneyed, middle-class Chinese wanting warm-weather R&R, and the retreat-oriented Banyan Tree hotel group has taken note. Its 61 private villas are on a quiet, sandy stretch of Luhuitou Bay near the southern city of Sanya; all have lounge areas, private pools and outdoor whirlpools. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows let natural light flood the rooms, and the expansive marble bathrooms with ginger-scented bath products and stone-tiled rainshowers create a tranquil spa mood. In the grounds, reflective lagoons and exotic gardens are a reminder that you're in China's only tropical destination. Banyan Tree is known for its holistic, Asian-themed spas, and the Sanya is no exception: eight treatment pavilions surround a large pool, and signature treatments include the Rainmist, a bespoke steam bath and massage; the two-storey spa villas offer total privacy. The island is an hour's flight from Hong Kong, making it the hot new choice for a weekend escape and a unique slice of Chinese life."

An enchanted city sanctuary in the midst of Florence, where an art-filled Renaissance palazzo and conventino frame a centuries-old private park. Relax amidst original frescoes and sculptured reliefs, graced by sunlight and airy garden vistas. Sip cappuccino under majestic trees, lounge by the open-air pool or bask in Italian spa secrets. Wonders of the Uffizi and Duomo are a stroll away. A stay at the Four Seasons Florence will make all your Medici fantasies come true. The former papal residence, a short walk from the Duomo, has been meticulously restored. Guest rooms are decorated in silks and velvets chosen to set off the delicate tones of the original quattrocento painted ceilings. All this and the Tuscan countryside too.

Travel + Leisure says..."Following a massive building restoration, Florence's 117-room Four Seasons hotel finally opened in June 2008. Located in the fifteenth/sixteenth-century Palazzo Scala della Gherardescaawith monumental frescoed halls and room dAcors that range from opulent Renaissance suites to a discreetly elegant, almost Georgian style in most roomsathis is the city's first true resort hotel. Facilities include a spa, an outdoor pool, and an eight-acre private park. Room amenities go beyond the usual satellite TV to included DVD players, iPod docking stations, twice-daily maid service, and WiFi. Service, under manager Patrizio Cipollini, is top notch. There's an annex in an ex-conventa500 yards away, on the far side of the parkawith its own entrance at 46 Via Gino Capponi." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."Seven years of painstaking restoration and more than a100 million went into Florence's Four Seasons, which opened in June 2008. The hotel is in a grand Renaissance palazzo and a rather more sober convention, reached by a short walk across the largest private garden in the city. Erstwhile incumbents of this extraordinary residence include a pope, an order of nuns, generations of the Gherardesca family and an Egyptian viceroy; their combined legacy is a living museum of eye-popping artworks and architectural details. The bedrooms and suites vary in shape and size but are all decorated in restrained Empire style with splendid marble bathrooms stocked with goodies by Florentine perfumer Lorenzo Villoresi. For post-sightseeing relaxation, there's a gorgeous pool, a spa that uses Santa Maria Novella products, a big gym and the 11-acre garden. The decor in Il Palagio restaurant is overblown, but Vito Mollica's superb food more than makes up for it. The hotel is 10 minutes' walk from the centre of town, but the unique setting, top-notch facilities and impeccable yet friendly service make it a serious contender for the best place to stay in Florence." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."Two Renaissance buildingsaa 15th-century palazzo and a 16th-century conventawere restored and combined to create this "wonderful, wonderful hotel set in an 11-acre private garden, Florence's largest. "Really special rooms," some hung with original artwork, are stocked with amenities made by a Florence-based perfumer. Il Palagio sources local ingredients in its cuisine and lists roughly 400 wines." -From Conde Nast Traveler

Amidst larger-than-life spectacle, feel the exhilaration of elite entertainment and duty-free designer shopping. Then hide away in the Cotai Strips most intimate hotel. Lavish chinoiserie blends old-world European opulence with high-tech chic. Cuisine reflects Macaus Portuguese and Chinese heritage. And spa suites tempt with outdoor vitality pools. Thoughtful Four Seasons care promises you unrivalled comfort.

Juicy Tidbits
Conde Nast Traveler says..."Just as it did in Las Vegas, the Four Seasons has opted out of having its own casino in this, the world's most popular emergent gaming capital, although high rollers do have direct access to gaming tables at the Venetian Macao and Plaza Casino next door. There are five swimming pools in the tropical grounds, surrounded by daybeds and cabaAas with televisions, surely designed to help broaden Macau's appeal to families and non-gambling sun-seekers. Gourmands will appreciate the authentic Portuguese and Macanese cuisine on offer at the generous lunch and dinner buffets at the BelcanAo restaurant. All the spacious bedrooms have state-of-the-art workstations and WiFi access and, whether you are here for work or pleasure, it's worth paying the small daily tariff to access the top-floor executive lounge with its meeting spaces, private offices, breakfasts and sunset cocktails. In the spa, where smiling attendants stand ready outside the steam room with ice-cold Fiji water and enveloping towels, therapists perform a tightly edited menu of targeted treatments for aching muscles and jet lag, as well as traditional Chinese healing.
