Locations
Jojolapa Resort, Agonda, India
Park Hyatt Chennai, India
Beds: Enormous and draped in crisp white sheets. Very spacious suites and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the verdant Guindy National Reserve. Ample space for in-room yoga. Breakfast: The exquisite buffet almost gives you cause to cast aside the à la carte menu. Almost. Reserve at least one breakfast for the Almond crusted French toast with berry compote,… Continue reading Park Hyatt Chennai, India
Hosteria Cachi, Salta, Argentina
Beds: Comfortable. Rooms are spacious, unfussy and functional. Terracotta-tiled floors, ensuite bathrooms and french doors straight out into the garden. This is an ACA property (like the UK’s RAC), but a particularly lovely one; an attractive neo-colonial building with an interior courtyard garden. They’re not all like this. Breakfast: On the terrace outside overlooking the… Continue reading Hosteria Cachi, Salta, Argentina
Surf Turf, Covelong Point, India
Beds: Reasonably hard (as they often are in India) but perfectly comfortable and draped in bright turquoise sheets, matching the view. There are only a few bedrooms and they all have balconies overlooking Covelong Beach and windows a plenty, so you drift off to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. The penthouse… Continue reading Surf Turf, Covelong Point, India
The Beach Club Gili Air, Indonesia
Beds: Firm and comfortable, draped in white cotton sheets and cosseted under highly effective mosquito nets. Rooms are light-filled beach bungalows with air-conditioning and a fridge. There's a semi open-air bathroom for showering under the stars (and mosquito net) and a daybed on your terrace if you’ve had enough of the beach. The rooms are… Continue reading The Beach Club Gili Air, Indonesia
Laurentian Mountains, Canada
Beds: Cosy bunks in rustic wood cabins. Berths come bed linen-free so take your own, including a cosy duvet in all seasons except perhaps Summer. Even if the central log burner is on, and the living space nice and toasty, you might feel cooler when you retreat to the bedrooms. The cabins are fully fitted… Continue reading Laurentian Mountains, Canada
Yoga Rocks, Crete
Beds: Single beds in a private or shared room with an ensuite bathroom and small kitchenette. All rooms have a private balcony framing the Mediterranean blue with hot pink bougainvillea. Daytime lounging is possible pretty much anywhere in the space of this retreat which feels like a beautiful sea-facing ashram. Borrow a book from the… Continue reading Yoga Rocks, Crete
Posada del Olivo, La Rioja, Argentina
Beds: Large comfortable doubles, if a little on the soft side and draped in crisp white sheets. The bedrooms are high-ceilinged with smooth tiled floors and pale-yellow paint on the walls. Ensuite bathrooms have large walk-in showers and sweet-smelling toiletries. Antique furnishings match the dark-wood shutters, while the ground-floor rooms have French doors onto the… Continue reading Posada del Olivo, La Rioja, Argentina
Isla Holbox, Mexico
Beds: Kingsize in all rooms (real kingsize), and those with balconies have hammocks for daytime snoozing. The rooms are light and bright and the decor is clean and simple. White-painted walls, terracotta floor tiles and wood-beam ceiling interiors are warmed with an occasional pop of colour - a turquoise hammock, striped bed scarf or local… Continue reading Isla Holbox, Mexico
