HOTELS

Alila Jabal Akhdar

Tucked away 2000m above sea level in the Al Hajar mountains, Oman, Alila Jabal Akhdar is in a league of it's own, and like nowhere else on earth. With an exterior of local grey stone which camouflages stylistically into the surrounding landscape, the hotel exudes a traditional yet luxurious presence upon arrival, following a 2.5 hour drive from Muscat. Twinned perfectly with the Chedi Muscat on the coast, this mountain retreat is perfect for kicking back and enjoying the rugged cliff views from all 78 suites, whilst also sampling a selection of activities and facilities on offer, including sunrise walks, visits to local villages, relaxing in the spa, and rosewater making tutorials. Offering a combination of Arabic and international dishes, the main Juniper restaurant is best enjoyed outside on the terrace, whilst observing the vast mountains, the reflections in the infinity pool, and hearing only the fountains and the wildlife.

Alpaga

When looking to acquire amazing views of Mont Blanc, embark on a journey down winding roads and past beautiful mountains to Alpaga, a hotel featuring chalets, restaurants, gardens, and luxury amenities. This hotel creates a feeling of log cabin lodging surrounded by blankets of snow or gorgeous gardens, depending on the season. With fashionable and warm aesthetics, prepare for an amazing holiday full of relaxing experiences, small-town vibes, and appetising cuisine.
Offering rooms, suites, and chalets each designed to emulate the style of the region, guests will be able to enjoy views of the mountains, luscious materials, warm atmospheres, and utter relaxation. To continue to combine regional influences with modern twists, the two restaurants at Alpaga serve Alpine gastronomy that match the seasonal changes of nature and incorporate local ingredients.
Aplaga works to integrate mountainous aspects into the holiday of worldly travellers. With pure relaxation just up the mountain, guests can truly convene with nature and themselves while enjoying all that Aplaga has to offer.

Aman-i-Kas

Living luxuriously within nature is a dream come true for some travellers as they journey outside their comfort zone to Aman-I-Khas, a safari outpost within Ranthambore National Park. Guests can enjoy magnificent sights of tigers and other wildlife by day and enjoy the unmatched views of the starlit sky by night. Within tent-style accommodations featuring airy living, sleeping, and bathing amenities, guests will be able to enjoy ultimate privacy while not sacrificing any part of the nature filled oasis. Each tent comes with an experienced batman who is able to accompany guests on their many expeditions throughout the jungle, to River Chambal, or to temples and cultural sites dispersed throughout the Indian landscape.
As the days draw to a close, luxury travellers are able to relish the silence of the safari under the natural glow of a starry night and enjoy exquisite safari dining within the designated tent serving Indian and Western influenced dishes featuring fresh ingredients grown within the camp’s organic garden.
Travellers are able to completely unplug and become one with nature within Aman-I-Khas’ safari style resort oasis.

Amandari

Set within the hillsides to create an illusion of inclusion, Amandari captures the essence of a traditional Balinese village. Captivating guests with sweeping views of jungled slopes, guests can explore the wonders of Bali in a variety of ways. With exceptional service and luxurious accommodations, guests will feel very comfortable within the lavish Amandari hotel. Guests will take to their accommodations and find themselves journeying through stone getaways to their village style houses with touches of coconut, teak, and bamboo decorating the interiors. Within the villas and suites, three of the four walls are comprised of sliding glass doors opening up to luscious garden courtyards creating beams of natural light alongside the privacy created by fragrant trees and giant leaves. Waiting behind stone walls, rice terraces, village style accommodations, sacred stone tigers, and local children dance classes lies a beautiful oasis at Amandari.

Amandira

A lovely Indonesian cruise awaits luxury travellers looking to board a majestic boat and set sail on new adventures and experiences. Amandira is a two-mastered sailing ship created by the Konjo tribe and took its inaugural journey in 2015. With a combination of ancient romance and state-of-the-art amenities, sailing the gorgeous waters of Indonesia is now an experience that luxury travellers can enjoy. Enjoy the crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches while sailing aboard a luxury vessel. The journey includes setting sail on the waters leaving from Amanwana and visiting Komodo National Park and Raja Ampat islands. These volcanic isles are home to the Komodo dragon along with many other species of wildlife. Aboard, up to 10 guests can enjoy lavish accommodations with king-sized beds, living rooms, and large bathrooms with beautiful showers. Take a break from the boat life and strap on diving equipment enabling guests to explore the underwater world.
At the end of the day, enjoy magical sunsets and fanciful drinks and allow for the on-board crew to pamper and amaze aboard the Amandira.
 

Amangalla

With hundreds of years to perfect the art of hospitality, Amangalla is a remarkable place to enjoy a Sri Lankan holiday getaway.
