Travel + Leisure says..."THE SETTING 18,000 acres in the foothills of the Cedar Mountains.GREEN FACTOR When Bill McAdam purchased the vast tract of wilderness in 1991, the property was a virtual wasteland of overgrazed veld. Today, the Kloof blooms with 800 tree and plant species, down to rarities like the Clanwilliam cedar. Threatened wildlife has come thundering back, too, including red hartebeests, black wildebeests, bontebok, aardwolves, 150 rare birds, and one of the largest private herds of endangered Cape mountain zebras in the world. More than 130 ancient rock-art sites dating back 10,000 years are also safeguarded in their natural environment. After a day in the wild, it's nice to know that the 16-room Relais & Chteaux lodge has hand-sewn bed linens." -From Travel + Leisure

Conde Nast Traveler says..."Riding mountain bikes past zebras is the right way to start the day at this rehabilitated farmstead. Light-filled contemporary rooms have outdoor showers. Meals at Makana draw from native fynbos herbs and local meat. Affable staff "offer great insight into the native culture and historya they elevate the spirit." The 18,500-acre reserve is home to more than 130 tribal rock art sites." -From Conde Nast Traveler

"Spa-obsessed jet-setters, take note: Six Senses has brought the best of Southeast Asia's healing arts to a speck of land off Phuket's eastern coast. A 26-acre retreat houses four individual spas yes, four each dedicated to Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, or Thai traditions. Many of the practitioners have trained for years to fine-tune a single treatment, which became apparent during our deep-tissue Indian Abhyanga massage. Between appointments, we lounged by the ocean and ordered seaside delivery of addictive Thai dishes such as chili lobster."
-From www.travelandleisure.comConde Nast Traveler says..."The popular Six Senses group's first destination spa weaves the same brand of rustic-chic magic it perfected at Soneva Fushi in the Maldives. It has also managed to present an eco-conscious front without losing an ounce of flair: there's edible landscaping (the scent of lemongrass permeates the air), an organic kitchen garden and even a mushroom hut where three varieties flourish. As at the Maldives hotel, you're welcome to do the 'no shoes, no news' thing: digging your toes into the powder-fine sand as you tuck into a mango salad can be very liberating. The scrumptious cuisine is mostly raw and entirely vegetable or fish-based, so expect local ceviche, tandoor vegetable and paneer skewers and chilled anise spiced-carrot pudding. And you shouldn't worry about overindulging: there is a team of fitness instructors, nutritionists and wellness consultants to whip you into shape, and activities such as Thai boxing, yoga, Pilates and kinesis will keep your metabolic rate high. Retreats range from the three-night Silent Mind programme to the 21-night Body Confidence boot camp."-From www.cntraveller.com

Conde Nast Traveler says..."Sitting 1,200 feet above the Pacific on a grassy hillside, this hotel with "stunning views was built by the screenwriter of the movie Easy Rider. The Restaurant at Ventana features a terroir menu that includes ingredients from its organic garden. Staff are "professional, helpful, and appropriately personal at the same time," though, one reader gripes, they were "clueless at checkout." Rooms in sage, russet, cream, and gold come with slate showers." -From Conde Nast Traveler

"The crowd: Stylish Milanese wearing the latest Missoni bikinis and Gucci sunglasses, plus a healthy German crowd looking for an Alpine cure.
How''s the water? Sleek. Dislike cutesy Alpine architecture? Fear not, as this glassed-in pool turns the form in on itself, making for a sexy, wooded space with incomparable views of the southern Tirolean mountains. The streamlined and unfussy design is liberating and sensual. Loll with your loved one in the heated waters, or head for the steamy outdoor hot tub, making for a molto romantico peakside moment.
The poolside tipple: After you take a dip, sit by the fireplace next to the pool and drink a glass of mulled local vino.
The hotel: Architecture hounds will love the modern interiors and eco-friendly materials, and romantics the fact that you can only get here by cable car. Big beds look onto those sensational mountains. In winter, you can ski and snowshoe, while in spring and summer, plan for hiking and picnics among the wildflowers."
