Upstream from the Victoria Falls, on the banks of the powerful Zambezi River, you find paradise on earth. Royal Chundu, with its two magnificent lodges in the middle of the bush far from the madding crowd, is the place to enjoy peace and quiet in what remains as an untamed corner of the earth. The River Lodge is on the riverbank while the Island Lodge is located on an island, both offering spacious suites with a colonial décor reminiscent of the splendour of the times of the early explorers. Returning from their excursions, guests can sample divine spa treatments with natural African ingredients or enjoy Zambian cuisine, watching stars light up the sky over the river.

Atop a landmark Art Deco skyscraper in The Big Apple’s Financial District, SAGA is a New York story that will dazzle your five senses. This restaurant – spread over five floors with a 360° panoramic view, solarium, and three large outdoor terraces – is unlike any other dining space in New York. Two floors are reserved for private suites, with warm-toned velvet, marble tables, and sculpted stone details that intensify the hushed, intimate atmosphere. The main dining room on the 63rd floor has vast windowscapes offering a wraparound view of the skyline bristling with high-rise buildings. SAGA’s cuisine is unquestionably cosmopolitan and impeccably suited to this sleek, chic, yet welcoming urban world: chef Jamal James Kent’s gourmet menu is inspired by his childhood memories and travels to the ends of the earth. On the 64th floor, cocktail-lovers can write a story all their own in the Overstory.

In the 16th arrondissement of the French capital, Saint James Paris lovingly cultivates a world of unmatched refinement and art de vivre. Close to the Arc de Triomphe and Avenue Foch, this exceptional hotel reveals a discreet character imbued with pastoral charm and an aura unlike any other. Graced with 5,000 square metres of greenery, it holds court amidst marvellous gardens made all the more remarkable by the landscape designer Xavier de Chirac. This former private mansion is now bridging its romantic neoclassical soul with modernity, thanks to the talents of interior designer Laura Gonzalez, who has achieved a perfect symbiosis of plant life and art deco. The decorative contrasts exhibit a rare elegance, as evidenced by the fifty rooms and suites which are at once chic and poetic, grandiose and intimate. At the Bellefeuille gourmet restaurant, Chef Grégory Garimbay pays tribute to French gastronomy and the richness of its terroirs by honouring the raw produce he works with sincerity and passion. A stay at the Saint James Paris is a true parenthesis of well-being, which is confirmed in the Guerlain spa: a world of relaxation, with areas dedicated to treatments, a hammam, a sauna, a Jacuzzi, a fitness room and an indoor pool bathed in natural light.

Saison was the first gastronomic restaurant to prepare open-hearth wood-fired cuisine. The former warehouse that is home to this San Francisco dining institution combines a rustic flavor with intimacy and refinement. The backdrop sets the tone for the culinary experience that takes place, which pays tribute to the local terroir as well as contemporary culinary technical innovation. The fertile abundance of the Californian landscape is a constant source of inspiration for Richard Lee, who works with the best producers, farmers and fishers in the region. Driven by a penchant for simplicity, the chef surprises with highly original ingredient combinations and subtle seasonal flavors, amplified by a flamboyant cooking method that has become his trademark. Alongside the food, the wine list is renowned as among the best in the United States, certainly equal to the creativity of the dishes. It is structured around the most remarkable vintages of the New and Old World, with a predilection for wines from Burgundy. And nothing quite compares to sipping buckwheat tea after a meal near to the flaming hearth.

Everything here seems designed to showcase its exceptional 360-degree panorama, taking in the islands of Capri and Procida, the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius beyond. From the terraces, the three restaurants of San Montano Resort & Spa highlight the abundance of the sea with dishes typical of Ischia.

Surrounded by purple heather-covered mountains, Kenmare is one of the spots in Ireland that the Irish themselves like best. Sheen Falls Lodge is not only perfectly placed for exploring the southwest, the Ring of Beara, Ring of Kerry and the famous Killarney Lakes, but it is also known for its piano-jazz ambience, its collection of old Irish whiskeys, and the dishes prepared with the salmon caught in the nearby river. There are unrivalled views of Kenmare Bay, the McGuillicuddy Reeks and cascading Sheen waterfalls. All of this, combined with outstanding Irish hospitality and Celtic legends, creates a sense of magic that pervades.

They open onto a large terrace with a swimming pool which seems to plunge into the bush and riverbed beyond. The lodge fosters a deep connection with its environment, playing a crucial part in conserving its unspoiled surroundings. Silvan Safari Lodge employs around fifty residents from the local community, each dedicated to ensuring an unforgettable guest experience.
