In Maori, Wharekauhau means “place of knowledge”, as it was here where the wise men would come to learn their craft. The name has remained as a testament to the past.
Nearly two centuries later, a large sheep station took its place here and finds itself still in activity today. In this farm setting, overlooking the Palliser Bay, the lodge cultivates a refined art de vivre, with a welcoming decor that mixes antiques with natural materials.It is surrounded by vast native gardens where the croquet lawn, flowers, orchard and vegetable garden stand alongside one another, with the latter two supplying the restaurant where a delicious revisited “Kiwi” cuisine is served.

The Wickaninnish Inn stands on an outcrop between the Pacific Ocean, Chesterman Beach and a forest of giant evergreens. Artists, including renowned wood carver Henry Nolla, designed elements of its two buildings with the aim of blending art, nature and culture. You can even meet local artists at the onsite carving shed. Each room has a fireplace and picture window offering views of the coastline. Set off on a day of sea kayaking, or to see whales, sea lions or bears around Clayoquot Sound. Relax with a soothing spa treatment after your day's adventures. From November to March, you can admire mighty Pacific storms, watching from the comfort of your guest room as waves come crashing ashore.

Standing on the heights of Beijing, China, the Xitan Hotel welcomes guests to a stunning natural setting. Spread over two hectares of an ancient village built towards the end of the Ming Dynasty, the atypical architecture of this luxury hotel is inspired by its amazing surroundings. In harmony with the environment and encircled by water and mountains, its zen atmosphere is immediately captivating. Each of the 38 rooms and courtyards has its own concept, designed to combine Chinese tradition, modernism and a sense of purity. From every angle — from the living spaces and tea room to the gym — the Xitan Hotel enjoys magnificent views of the towering peaks and lush vegetation all around. There are few places in the world that so thoroughly invite contemplation and the freedom to let go. A visit to the hotel’s spa only confirms this as it opens the senses to the great beyond. Chef Jun Wang’s cuisine at the gourmet restaurant The House of Rong is both creative and rooted in the local terroir, making it the perfect complement to a stay at this restorative, other-worldly place.

Simply cross the threshold of Yihe Mansions and you will be taken back to the Republic of China’s past, a time when the country’s leaders built their residences in the shade of the maple trees on Yihe Road in Nanjing, the capital of ten dynasties. Its stylish private villas have been magnificently restored and now offer sophisticated, deeply historical rooms and suites, spas, restaurants and even their own museums. Extremely spacious, they boast soft light and greenery throughout; the decor is an elegant blend of traditional artefacts and contemporary objects, with fine wood and precious fabrics. This is a serene environment where you can truly appreciate the beauty of China’s culture and history.

This fine early 20th-century mansion on the banks of Lake Annecy is a rhapsody of blue and gold: the blue of the façade and the lake viewed from the terrace meets the golden yellow of the wood cladding the walls and the sun that shines into the guestrooms through the large picture windows. This house offers an intimate setting with a warm, cosy ambiance. And all around is resplendent nature, as celebrated by the Chef's cuisine. Since 2010, Yoann Conte, following in the footsteps of Marc Veyrat, has drawn his inspiration from the passing seasons and their plants to reinterpret local cuisine, serving, for example, fish from the lake with fresh herbs and alpine flowers.

Zanzibar White Sand has set its anchor down along the eastern coast of the archipelago of Zanzibar. In the heart of a luxurious ecosystem, the establishment has had the finesse to integrate itself in complete discretion. Each villa is nestled in tropical vegetation, refreshed by the Indian Ocean, and has a living area of 500 sq. meters located within a 1500 sq. meters lush garden for complete privacy. 
The restaurant serves local fish and produce from the vegetable garden, which are subtly enhanced by the famous spices of Zanzibar that may also be found as the foundations for the spa's original treatments. Whether diving or kitesurfing, the warm turquoise waters of the beach are the ideal playground after a safari on continental Africa.

Wood, glass, sleek design: a simple but welcoming décor, in tune with the cheerful atmosphere of this restaurant, which concentrates first and foremost on the food on the plate and has built up a clientele of regular customers. Wilson Alpala, Ecuadorian Chef who joined Zazu after spending the first years of his career in France, serves contemporary cuisine with Latin American influences, mainly based on local ingredients. He works very closely with farmers, grows vegetables in the restaurant's greenhouses and selected his own team of reliable fishermen on the coast. The cellar, with its spectacular 25-foot high ceiling, is one of the finest in Ecuador.
