The charming, pedestrianized resort of Las Catalinas, in northeastern Costa Rica, is nestled in a 400-hectare/1,000-acre protected tropical forest. Overlooking the bay, Casa Chameleon appears to emerge from lush vegetation, inviting guests to get closer of nature and themselves. Each generously sized villa provides the feeling of being at home, thanks to warm decor which blends contemporary design and local craftsmanship. All villas have a saltwater infinity pool and enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean. While this heavenly setting invites relaxation, there is no shortage of activities–a thousand adventures await at sea and in the jungle, home to exotic wildlife and lush flora.

In the evening, return to the privacy of your villa to enjoy a private yoga class or expertly delivered spa treatment. Casa Chameleon's three restaurants offer typical Costa Rican flavors. All dishes are made with seasonal products, sustainably grown and reared by farmers and in the region with whom the property collaborates closely. Enjoy an experience as reviving as it is relaxing.

The lemon-yellow facade of the Casa da Calçada hints at the sunny stay that awaits at this hotel. Situated in the heart of the town of Amarante, between the bustle of Porto and the sun-dappled countryside of the Douro Valley, both less than an hour away, this building dating back to the 16th century, with its golden baroque interiors, is a favourite with those who love beauty, golf, great wine and gastronomy. Nearby you find a splendid 18-hole golf course. The hotel also produces “Vinho Verde” wines, and on-site activities include a tour of the region’s best wine “quintas” that will ensure that you never forget the differences between Tawny, Ruby, White or Vintage Port.

While the 1960s architecture of this building–designated a National Monument of Portugal–is undoubtedly its most visible hallmark, its other notable distinction is the cuisine crafted by chefs Rui Paula and Catarina Correia. Located north of Porto, with ocean waves crashing at its feet, this unique spot perched on a rock facing the Atlantic serves as continual inspiration for the two chefs. The menu at Casa de Chá da Boa Nova pays tribute to Portuguese poet Luís Vaz de Camões and unfolds in a sequence of 6, 12, or 21 dishes, here called ’songs’, each showcasing the quality of seafood and other local flavors. Lobster pairs with corn, octopus with sweet cucumber, scarlet shrimp with broccoli and kaffir lime, and red mullet with asparagus. A creative and generous menu, a true ode to nature, complemented by an impressive selection of over 450 wines, mostly Portuguese.

Casa de São Lourenço is nestled in the Serra da Estrela, a mountain range that is home to the UNESCO-recognized Estrela Geopark. Perched at an altitude of 4,100 feet among pine trees, this former pousada (traditional guesthouse) enchants outdoor enthusiasts all year round. The architects who led its modern makeover succeeded in preserving its original character, while enhancing its connections to the land by adding beautiful panoramic terraces. The hotel’s colorful decor bears the signature of Portuguese artist Maria Keil, blending 1940s design with contemporary artisanship, such as ceilings lined with burel wool. Cozy, inviting rooms and suites feature large picture windows framing views of the glacial Zêzere Valley. Beyond these visual delights, guests can unwind in the soothing spa or savor authentic cuisine at Restaurant Fatiga, where chefs draw inspiration from the traditional cuisine enjoyed by shepherds in the region.

The unbroken view of Lake Atitlan and the three volcanoes overlooking it is stunning: from the infinity pool, the terraces or simply through the large bay windows. Built on a hillside, Casa Palopó has preserved a unique intimate atmosphere from its past as a private residence. Its decoration is warm, with a mix of intense colours, massive wood, crafted objects and fabrics and spaces designed to live in.

It is said that Casa Pestagua is the most beautiful house in Cartagena. Painted ceilings, carved stone windows, courtyards and royal palms... this Moorish-inspired colonial palace was built in the eighteenth century, in time of splendour for the city and Spanish galleons laden with gold and precious stones. Under their double ceilings, the rooms are unmistakably romantic; the pond invites you to refresh yourself amidst a beautiful exotic garden, whilst the restaurant under the arcades inspires aristocratic meals. The staff welcomes you with such warmth you will feel as if you were the actual Count de Pestagua!

South of the stunning Atacama Desert, one of the most parched regions on the planet, lies the Elqui Valley, a lush oasis that is the setting for CasaMolle. On a 42-acre estate graced with cactus gardens and embraced by several rivers, the small, thatched, ochre-hued adobe buildings frame a large outdoor swimming pool. The contemporary style is brightened with colorful local textiles and crafts. In the restaurant, the chef expertly combines traditional Chilean specialties with haute cuisine. The all-inclusive formula means the CasaMolle can offer guests a great variety of experiences, from hiking to horseback riding, vineyard tours to kayaking, meditation sessions to spa treatments. As Northern Chile is legendary for its pristine night skies, earning the designation as an International Dark Sky Sanctuary, guests can enjoy starwatching from its open-air amphitheater.

At the foot of a hill — in the shadow of Ireland’s most iconic medieval site, the Rock of Cashel — stands another architectural masterpiece, Cashel Palace. Built in 1728 by Sir Edward Lovett Pearce, the architect who designed the Parliament House in Dublin, this red brick manor was once the residence of Ireland’s archbishops. It is a brilliant blend of classicism and sophistication, with a façade that hides behind its symmetrical layout a world of surprises: a majestic colonnaded hall, walls covered in detailed wood panelling, staircases with handrails carved in the shape of candy canes, and rooms that seem to have been taken from a fairy tale.
With its English-style gardens, comfortable sofas warmed by the cosy fire of the bar, and a spa bathed in light, Cashel Palace takes its guests on a magical journey. It is an idyllic refuge where you can recharge your batteries before plunging into the area’s Celtic history or wandering through the enchanting moorland.
