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

Travel + Leisure says..."THE LOOK Part desert oasis, part mad scientist's project.GREEN FACTOR Tom Worrell's textured adobe-style villas are made of Gunnash, the ash from coal mines. Exotic fruits and organic herbs, grown in the hotel's "biolarium," show up (along with yak meat) on the spa menus conceived by Johnny Vinczencz, one of Florida's top young chefs. Although the 38 casitas have satellite TV and overstuffed couches, the (mostly) solar-powered sanctuary hints at the future of sustainable travel. If you're not convinced, consult the in-house psychic."-25 Great Eco-LodgesNational Geographic Traveler says...

At De La Tierra, where "every bite is better than the last," meals include sea bass with lobster ravioli and mashed English peas. Staff throughout are "kind and fun." The spa has a Japanese soaking bath." -From Conde Nast Traveler

Laluna Hotel is a member of Design Hotels TM. Laluna is a discreet, romantic hideaway quietly nestled on ten acres of untouched land. Totally secluded, Lalunas surroundings are only the emerald green sea and hills and a pristine white sand beach. Gabriella Giuntoli has combined traditional Caribbean materials in a minimalist style with Indonesian elements throughout the enclave of 16 cottages. Warm natural tones and sensual textures heighten the sense of intimacy in Laluna. Sitting areas have overstuffed pillows encouraging private conversations. Inviting colors of warm cinnamon, sienna and sunkissed yellow perfectly frame the blues and greens of the landscape. This picture-perfect view can be soaked in while lounging on private king-sized beds opened onto expansive verandahs with natural cotton drapery. If the exclusively hand made soaps and lotions from a monastery in the Italian Alps haven't kept you from venturing out, partake in a special dinner with romantic views of the bay and popular Italian wines - or for the more well-behaved, a sunset meditation class.

"On the Waterfront Some 200 years ago, the writer Henry Nelson Coleridge called Grenada a poet's Arcadia. And for decades to come, the tiny Caribbean island, with its powerful waterfalls that flow into the sea and fragrant nutmeg trees, remained an insiders' secret. The opening of the Bali-inspired Laluna Resort (cottages from $730) and the more recent Mount Cinnamon Beach Resort (doubles from $500), on a white-sand beach, heralded a new level of sophistication. But Grenada's authenticity and natural appeal remain. One-sixth of the land is protected wilderness, including Grand tang, a crater lake set atop an extinct volcano. Farmers still sell fresh fruit and spices at the market, and in the French-colonial capital, St. George's, the winding roads are lined with boutiques like Tikal, which carries local crafts. On Friday nights, listen to steel drums at the fish fry that takes over the small village of Gouyave. End your day at the beachside Aquarium (dinner for two $60), for West Indian barbecue served beneath the stars."

"All 16 of the one- and two-bedroom cottages at Laluna, a celebrity hideout on lush Grenada, are up and running after 2004's Hurricane Ivan. Designed in an open style, with private decks and bathrooms en plein air, they offer spectacular views of one of the Caribbean's most intimate bays. Continue the sea gazing at dinner, which is served under a thatched roof on the beach.
