Stay in the largest villa in the Indian Ocean, Grand Beachfront Villa at the JW Marriott Mauritius Resort, Mauritius

The JW Marriott Mauritius Resort, located on the Le Morne Peninsula, offers a new level of privacy. The private Grand Beachfront Villa is spread over 1660 square meters. It is located in the most remote part of the island, so no one and nothing there will interfere with a peaceful holiday in the middle of the jungle. Its facade fits as harmoniously into the surrounding landscape as possible - the view from the window will be the endless tropics and the turquoise expanse of the Indian Ocean.


The villa is ideal for a vacation with a large family or a group of friends. Its interior was inspired by colonial style combined with modern design solutions. Here literally everything is created to create the surrounding landscape outside the window. Inside there are four spacious suites that can comfortably accommodate up to 8 adults and 8 children. Guests also benefit from 24-hour butler and chef services. The restaurants at the JW Marriott Mauritius Resort are also at their full disposal. There are five of them on site, each with its own menu and well-designed wine and cocktail list.


Each bedroom has access to its own terrace with sun loungers, and from there to the beach with an incredible view of the lagoon. The villa also has a spacious living room with TV and seating area, an office, a bar, a dining room and a fitness center with a sauna, a large infinity pool, three plunge pools, a jacuzzi and additional staff rooms. Grand Beachfront Villa is truly a truly secluded “resort within a resort.”

Rent one of the most beautiful villas in Croatia - Captain’s Villa Rouge

One of the business cards in the collection of the hotel brand Losinj Hotels & Villas is the Captain’s Villa Rouge - the perfection of Austrian architecture, designed by the famous Viennese architect Friedrich Siegmund. The impeccably restored seven-suite residence has retained as much of its historic character as possible. She hid in the middle of a lushly blooming garden with lemon trees, shading the perimeter terrace from the sun's rays. In a courtyard surrounded by greenery there is a spacious swimming pool, in which they so want to plunge headlong. From here you can enjoy a stunning view of the pine forest and the shining edge of the sea in the distance.


A personal chef is responsible for the gastronomic component of your stay at the villa, who will fulfill any culinary desire with a wave of his hand. The ideal place for an evening cocktail is the living room with an incredibly beautiful terrazzo mosaic floor with a vintage pattern, which shimmers spectacularly in the dazzling light of grandiose chandeliers made of the finest Murano glass.


One of the main highlights of Captain's Villa Rouge is the captain's bedroom, the design of which reflected the rich naval history of the villa, reflected in its name. In the interior you can find classic elements of marine shape and decor of ship cabins, as well as precious stones used in the decoration of the bathroom, as if telling a story about treasures found on uninhabited islands.

Go on a retreat to the Nirjhara Hotel, Bali

Hotel Nirjhara is a place where everyone can be not only alone with nature, but also with themselves. Where you can take a deep breath and find peace, relaxation and inner peace.


At the foot of the waterfall on the hotel grounds there is a yoga pavilion, designed by the famous Balinese architectural studio Ibuku. The building's frame is entirely made of bamboo, and the windows overlook the Nirjhara Falls. Yoga and meditation sessions are held here, as well as training in local dances.


Also on the territory of the resort is The Retreat, a spa center whose menu features traditional Balinese massage and relaxation techniques with a centuries-old history. Before the start of each procedure, all guests are given a carved parchment to the lontar, in which the five blessings of Nirjara are written. Lontara leaves were traditionally decorated with spiritual scriptures and used by priests during Balinese ceremonies. Thus, with the help of an hour and a half spa ritual, an even more detailed acquaintance with the customs and culture of Bali occurs.

Visit the first underwater museum in the Maldives at Fairmont Maldives, Sirru Fen Fushi, Maldives

The main feature of Fairmont Maldives, Sirru Fen Fushi is the local “Coralarium”. The incredible art installation, created by British sculptor and underwater explorer Jason de Caires Taylor, is a six-meter cube half submerged in water. This is the first underwater museum in the Maldives, inspired by the incredible flora and fauna of the Indian Ocean.


The frame of the structure is made exclusively from safe materials that do not have any impact on the local eco-system. On the contrary, the walls of the “Coralarium”, as well as the five-meter sculptures located inside the cube, assembled from ceramic starfish, have become home to thousands of species of plants and fish. You can observe them in their natural habitat during snorkeling tours accompanied by a marine biologist. The starting point for traveling to the “Coralarium” is a two-hundred-meter Infinity pool, crossing the island exactly in the middle. It is rightfully considered the longest in the Maldives.​​​​​​​​​​​

Embark on a unique voyage on sailing yacht Vela, Indonesia

Travel on a sailing yacht is a unique experience that you will remember for the rest of your life. Vela invites you to explore the most remote corners of the Indonesian archipelago. On board there are six comfortable suites, as well as common recreation areas. Maximum capacity is up to fourteen guests excluding crew members.


Each charter is fully tailored to the needs of a specific group of guests. The travel program includes a wide variety of activities: from snorkeling, wakeboarding, water skiing, surfing to diving with manta rays and hiking in the most picturesque places of the archipelago. For example, in the reserve where the rare species of Komodo dragons lives.


Vela is ideal for families and large groups of friends who value privacy and quality rest most of all. The design of the yacht deserves special attention - it’s hard to believe that this is a classic sea vessel. Inside, it looks more like an elegant five-star hotel. Each suite is decorated in a classic style with an abundance of Italian fabrics and custom teak furniture.


Vela's upper deck is ideal for morning meditation and yoga classes. Relaxing massage sessions are also available upon request. A highly qualified massage therapist and yoga instructor are always present on board - all so that even while traveling, guests can adhere to their usual rituals. When it comes to gastronomy, Vela also has no equal. Dinners are typically served outdoors on the spacious aft and forward decks. Breakfast and lunch are served in a cozy room, or on the beach if the boat is moored to the shore.

Visit a hotel located on the site of ancient ruins in Cappadocia - Argos in Cappadocia, Turkey

Hotel Argos in Cappadocia, built on a mountainside overlooking a bizarre volcanic landscape, is so unusual that it is difficult to believe in its existence.

 

It was created on the site of ancient ruins, caves and underground tunnels, which were converted into a one-of-a-kind hotel. The creation of the boutique hotel took more than 25 years. The hotel is located within the Goreme National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The entire complex of buildings of Argos in Cappadocia can be considered a museum: restorers restored the underground labyrinths connecting the former cells, as well as the church building, which now hosts concerts and events, and the wine cellar. Each of the 51 rooms is unique and combines modern design with the history and traditions of Cappadocia.

Try the legendary Peking duck at Demon Duck restaurant at Caesars Palace Dubai, Dubai

Demon Duck Restaurant has established itself as a gastronomic paradise on Bluewaters Island in Dubai - and with good reason. Chef Alvin Leung, winner of three Michelin stars, was responsible for creating the menu and serving it. In gastronomic circles, it is no coincidence that he is called “the demon” - not least for his bold approach to creating dishes and a new look at Asian cuisine.


The establishment has the atmosphere of a stylish Hong Kong bar, which could not be better reflects the lifestyle in a never-sleeping metropolis. This is why Dubai, thanks to its vibrant energy, became the ideal location to open the first Demon Duck restaurant. The menu features a bold mix of traditional Chinese cuisine combined with the main Pan-Asian hits. Must try - the legendary Peking duck, prepared based on a centuries-old recipe and improved according to Alvin Leung's own methods. Crispy shrimp on toast, melt-in-your-mouth Black & White Dover Sole fish, kibbeh with duck and signature lobster are also absolute hits.


In addition to the dining and bar area, the Demon Duck restaurant also has an outdoor terrace with access to the garden. Inside, there is an intimate yet relaxed atmosphere, not least thanks to the stylish design and works of fashionable Hong Kong photographer Mark Chang on the walls. The mood is set by bright details in the interior, as well as playful graffiti and mosaic patterns in the Middle Eastern style on dishes designed by Monica Tsang.
