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."

Conde Nast Traveler says..."A stay at this hillside resort on 600 acres "is too beautiful to put into words." Octagonal-shaped whitewashed cottages have wraparound wood balconies, while beach-level units are tucked behind coconut palms. "There are attendants for everything from towels to drinks to welcome you to your own little palapa of relaxation." Breakfast on accra-fish cake in the treetops at Treehouse Restaurant." -From Conde Nast TravelerTravel + Leisure says..."Years before “greena and “eco-consciousa became trendy travel buzzwords, Russian-Canadian architect Nick Troubetzkoy designed and built his dream resort: a series of 49 open-air rooms situated along a verdant tropical hillside above a semi-private volcanic sand beach. Within each nature-centric Sanctuary suiteasome with the fourth wall literally removedawarm trade winds obviate the need for air-conditioning and one look toward the panoramic Piton views will make it clear why flat-screen TVs were never installed. While you can sit back and observe the abundance of wildlife right from your room, be sure to take to the water; divers and snorkelers will be thrilled to discover that several of the island's top underwater sites can be found within a few fin kicks (or a short boat ride) from the water's edge.

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.

Conde Nast Traveler says..."This resort consists of a series of cottages overlooking the vine-studded valley. Large bathrooms have skylights and flat-screen TVs that can be watched from soaking tubsa it's such a guilty delight!" The Restaurant and Bistro & Bar serve cuisine that mines regional produce and has, unsurprisingly, "a remarkably long wine list." Since 2010, the terrace has heaters to enable dining under the stars even on chilly evenings. " -From Conde Nast Traveler
Travel + Leisure says..."The first modern boutique resort to open in Napa Valleyait turns 25 years old in 2010ais still one of the area's best. From the outside, Auberge's sandstone-colored villas, scattered among 33 acres of olive groves, evoke the terraced houses of the French Riviera; inside, the 52 rooms continue the theme with terracotta-tiled floors and rattan ceiling fans, fabrics in Mediterranean hues, wood-burning fireplaces, and French doors leading to private verandas. 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). And the hotel's eponymous restaurantawhere chef Robert Curry serves seasonal, regionally sourced dishes like bacon-wrapped veal with foie gras ravioliastill packs in the foodies, as it has for a quarter-century." -From Travel + Leisure

Travel + Leisure says....
\"Secret Village More than 10,000 feet above sea level, in the ancient heartland of Tibets Bon religion, 32 traditional farmhouses have been revamped into decadently rustic suites at Banyan Tree Ringha. Guest quarters are decorated with vivid thangkas and woolen carpets in the rich rust and maroon hues that are a local trademark, and each has an open hearth for cold winter nights as its centerpiece. Private balconies offer breathtaking views of the Ringha River and distant snowcapped peaks. After a days trek in the wilderness, rejuvenate with a hot-stone treatment at the spa. A creative set has fled the urban grind of Beijing and Shanghai and is transforming the traditional mud-brick houses of the surrounding villages into galleries, inns, and cafés. For a bit of a culture shock in misty Shangri-la, you can sip a martini at the bohemian bar Raven in Zhongdian.\"
