In December of 2016, chef Kyle Connaughton and his wife Katina, a farmer, opened SingleThread. The restaurant’s eleven course tasting menu is driven by the couple’s farm produce and personalised to meet the preferences of their guests. With five guest rooms above the restaurant, overnight guests can enjoy luxurious amenities and an exclusive breakfast. Authentic hospitality is a driving principle at SingleThread. “When you come here, whether you’re dining in our restaurant or spending the night upstairs, we want you to feel like a guest in our home,” says Kyle.

Clinging to the slope at 8,200 feet above the Kullu Valley, Sitara Himalaya invites you to experience a retreat devoted to reconnecting with nature and the cosmos. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of this property reserved for adults, across from Mount Meru – the very spot where Indian sages are said to have received the teachings of the Vedas which underpin Hindu religion.
Like a family home with exceptional service, each room at Sitara Himalaya offers vast windows revealing snow-capped peaks. The interior décor is a blend of delicate local craftsmanship, expressed through Tibetan rugs and handwoven brocade panels, and English influences. The cuisine is local and respects the seasons, drawing on ancestral cooking traditions and techniques. A refined and soothing setting that resonates perfectly with the Vedic-inspired offerings – Yoga, Fire Ritual, Reiki, Marma – at the Paro Svasthi spa, the wellbeing space with a steam room, sauna, and small plunge pool with panoramic views.

This safari camp is located on a private island deep in the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO heritage site renowned for its tremendous biodiversity. It is an exceptional location for discovering the fauna and flora of this “river that never reaches the ocean” in a flat-bottomed boat or a traditional fisherman’s canoe. Sitatunga Private Island is an exclusive retreat encircled by narrow, crystal-clear waterways winding toward the vast Okavango swamps in the south. At Sitatunga Private Island, the 2 canvas-constructed suites, each with a private veranda and pool, are raised off the ground and have been designed to hang in gigantic bamboo-and-wood-inspired “fishing baskets,” a nod to the local fishermen. The interior décor is a collection of natural woods, rugs, and ethnic furniture, creating a refined ambiance of calm and relaxation.

At an altitude of 2800 m, colours are brilliant: the blue of the sky, the red of the earth and a fragmented mosaic created by a profusion of flowers. Sol & Luna is inspired by this luminous setting and is a paean to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Its architecture is a mix of avant-garde and primitive Peru, its clay walls are a backdrop to both contemporary and traditional Peruvian art, and its stones, beams and bricks from the valley find their natural home here. Its mouthwatering cuisine also draws its inspiration from local gastronomy, yet with a contemporary twist. Sol & Luna is close to archaeological sites and offers a doorway to this lost civilisation.

Hotel and restaurant in the mountains.

In this former hillside monastery in Mallorca, asceticism lives on in the décor, where white walls shine forth against the deep blue sky. The spa is a water and teakwood paradise using essential oils derived from the island flora. The swimming pool, a chic camping ground, provides large white parasols to ensure deckchairs remain in the shade. The rooms offer views of the sea, the olive tree orchards and the bay of Pollença. Organic produce, including olive oil, wine, citrus fruits and vegetables, is cultivated on the grounds and served in the restaurant. There is little inclination to venture out of this pleasant hotel, unless it is to head for the beaches or the golf course.

This grand establishment of dark-timbered buildings, typical of traditional Norwegian architecture, is set upon a hill overlooking the fjord of the same name. Its log walls shelter warmly welcoming interiors: Comfortable furniture, antiques, and objets d’art create a chic, rustic ambiance in the living rooms and library, as well as in the rooms and suites blessed with spectacular views of the fjord and surrounding forest.
Whatever the season, Storfjord offers an authentically Norwegian stay: skiing in wintertime, cruises and fishing trips on the fjord, kayaking adventures, scenic hikes, bike rides, Nordic wildlife observation, and, of course, relaxing moments at the wellness center with panoramic views of the landscape.
Fine dining, too, is part of the experience, ensured by Florian Harnisch: This environmentally enlightened chef selects ingredients that are picked, fished, or aged within a few miles of the property. His expressive, down-to-earth cuisine reflects the rugged beauty of the region.

Neighboring Tibet, the province of Sichuan is traversed by a mountain range older than the Himalayas. Its sharp peaks and mist-shrouded forests paint a picture of China far removed from the soaring skylines of Shanghai or Beijing: Su Shien Valley is found in a forested setting reminiscent of the ancient engravings of a thousand-year-old civilization. This cradle of Taoism makes the hotel an ideal refuge for a spiritual retreat and an initiation into ‘the way’ of ancient China. The lodge houses rooms and suites, each an invitation to Zen-like contemplation, with elegantly minimalistic décor–light wood, raw stone and fluid lines–in total harmony with the forest. Rooms also feature large bay windows, inviting you to meditate to the rhythm of the wind in the trees, and open onto interior courtyards, some with private traditional soaking tub. Explore the forest on long hikes before slipping into the warm waters of the onsen and relaxing with a traditional treatment to the sound of the songbo, a local musical instrument. The main restaurant nestled in the bamboo grove serves Sichuanese cuisine that follows the rhythm of the seasons, in perfect harmony with Taoist philosophy.
