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."

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.

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..."This Place de la Concorde landmark, built at the direction of King Louis XV in 1758, hasn't lost its ornate air. Flat-screen televisions and high-speed Internet access bring modern touches to suites and salons still filled with gilt, mirrors, and Baccarat crystal, in addition to genuine Aubusson carpets and Wedgwood medallions. Even the entry-level rooms, at 115 square feet, are not unusually large, but have sitting areas and dressing rooms. The Bar du Crillon is nothing short of elegant, with its mirrored mosaics, red velvet-covered chairs, and dripping chandeliers. Request a song at the piano, then sit back on a settee and sip a Baccarat cocktail (Grand Marnier, lemon, cranberry, Champagne RosA)." -From Travel + Leisure

From your lounge chair perched on the white sand- facing the crystal clear waters of Saint-Jean Bay- you have only to climb a wooden staircase polished by the elements to reach the Eden Rock - St Barths. Located on a rocky headland overlooking the coral reefs- this little village of villas with rust-red roofs stands on the foundations of the former property of the aviator and adventurer Remy de Haenen- the first pilot to land a plane on the island back in the 1940s. Jane and David Matthews have created the modern and eclectic interiors of the themed suites including the Howard Hughes- the Fregate with its private Jacuzzi- and the Greta Garbo. An original and elegant address- perfect for soaking up the sun of St. Barts- lazing on the beach and exploring the dazzling undersea world.

Travel + Leisure says..."Whether it's the rocky promontory of its setting, above the sunbathers on St. Jean beach, or the likelihood of rubbing elbows with Cameron Diaz or Matt Dillon in the Sand Bar, Eden Rock is a perennial epicenter of style on celebrity-studded St. Bart's. The 34 rooms are each different and can include such idiosyncratic details as a rock wall or a Philippe Starck-designed bathroom. The Harbour House and De Haenen suites, which float above the bay, have the best views. With its two bedrooms, the beachfront Villa Nina is rife with perks: an art gallery with a rotating selection of works on display, a private pool, and even a Mini Cooper to take for a spin. Dine at On the Rocks, the open-air French hotel restaurant overlooking the bay." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."On a rocky promontory, this husband-and-wife-owned property has rooms decorated with antiques, hardwoods, and original artwork, some by the owner. "They are bright and fit the location perfectly." On the Rocks uses local fish in its French-influenced dishes such as wok-fried fillet of mahimahi; try the homemade yogurt for breakfast at Sand Bar.
