Your next great stay.

Hotel Il Pellicano

Porto Ercole, Italy

Hotel Il Pellicano is a long-established Tuscan coast hotel on Monte Argentario, spilling down a cliff into a private cove above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Created as Il Pellicano in 1965 and later acquired by Roberto Sciò in 1979, it trades on an intimate, dolce-vita mood rather than grand-resort sprawl. Rooms and suites sit in the main house and cottages, with sea-view terraces, gardens, a private beach terrace reached by elevator, and a heated seawater pool shaping the stay.

Benguerra Island, Mozambique

&Beyond Benguerra Island Lodge occupies a beach-and-forest setting on Benguerra Island, within Bazaruto Archipelago National Park.

1 Hotel Hanalei Bay

Princeville, United States

A 252-room resort on Kauaʻi’s North Shore, 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay occupies the longtime Princeville blufftop address above Hanalei Bay, with rooms and suites oriented to gardens, mountains, or water.

Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel

Muscat, Oman

Al Bustan Palace is a 250-room Ritz-Carlton resort on Muscat’s coast, with the Sea of Oman on one side and the Al Hajar Mountains behind. Its defining experience is overtly palatial: a 38-meter domed lobby with chandelier and fountain, plus grounds shaped for beach time and resort leisure. Credible reporting traces the building to a 1985 state-guest role before its conversion into a hotel. The official site also says a major renovation began on July 1, 2026.

Al Husn Hotel Muscat

Barr Al Jissah, Oman

On Muscat’s coast at Barr Al Jissah, Al Husn is an adults-only resort with 180 guest rooms and suites, set between rocky headlands and the Gulf of Oman.

The architecture draws on Omani forts. Muttrah Souq is less than 30 minutes away, while the resort is about 45 minutes from Muscat International Airport.

Alila Villas Uluwatu

Pecatu, Indonesia

Alila Villas Uluwatu is a 65-villa clifftop resort on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, trading as an all-villa retreat rather than a conventional hotel. Every accommodation is a private villa with its own pool, cabana, and outdoor living space, and the overall experience is defined by ocean-facing views, strong privacy, and architecture by WOHA. The property’s dramatic setting, open-plan layouts, and emphasis on environmentally sustainable design make it feel more sculptural hideaway than beach-resort strip.

Aman Sveti Stefan

Sveti Stefan, Montenegro

Aman Sveti Stefan spans two distinct settings on Montenegro’s coast: the fortified 15th-century islet of Sveti Stefan, linked to shore by a narrow isthmus, and Villa Miločer, a former royal residence across the bay on the mainland. The island’s restored stone cottages and suites sit among cobbled lanes and courtyards, while the mainland villa brings a smaller, year-round base beside King’s and Queen’s beaches and the Aman Spa.

Amanoi

Vinh Hy Village, Vietnam

Amanyara

Northwest Point, Turks and Caicos Islands

Amanyara is a low-density Aman resort spread across the northwest shore of Providenciales, where standalone pavilions and larger villas sit among ponds, coastal vegetation and beachfront. Official resort material places it within an 18,000-acre nature reserve overlooking North West Point Marine National Park, with half a mile of white-sand beach at its edge. The current factsheet points to 36 pavilions and 20 villas, reinforcing the sense of space over bustle.

Amanzoe

Kranidi, Greece

On the eastern Peloponnese near Porto Heli, Amanzoe occupies a hilltop above olive groves with views across the Aegean. Its 54 independently bookable units are pavilions and villas rather than a conventional room block, and each offers a private pool; three Beach Pavilions sit directly on the shore. The resort’s geography is split between the elevated main estate and a Beach Club on a sheltered bay, reached by complimentary transfer or downhill bike ride.

Conical-hat forms and local architectural references carry into contemporary interiors, while the beach, lagoon-inspired swimming pool, dining venues, and spa shape a stay with much of its appeal on property.

Anantara Layan Phuket Resort

Cherngtalay, Thailand

On Phuket’s northwest coast, Anantara Layan occupies a quiet cove on Layan Beach, with the resort rising from the shore into green hillsides. Its 99 accommodation units span hillside suites, private pool villas and larger pool residences, giving the property a more spread-out, villa-led feel than a conventional hotel block.

The 25-villa lodge is the former Ponta dos Ganchos, now operating under Awasi. Its defining format pairs private-villa accommodation with individualized excursions; the hotel says each room is assigned a private guide and 4×4 vehicle. The setting favors time outdoors, whether on coastal trails, at the water, or exploring nearby beaches.

AYANA Resort Bali

Jimbaran, Indonesia

Above Jimbaran Bay, AYANA Resort Bali occupies part of a 90-hectare estate shared with three other distinct hotels. Its 294 rooms and suites pair classic Balinese design with marble bathrooms and furnished balconies; the wider grounds bring the Indian Ocean, gardens and sunset-facing spaces into the stay. The resort’s identity is tied to its cliffside setting and Balinese craftsmanship, while estate-wide dining, pools and experiences extend well beyond the hotel’s own accommodation buildings.

Bahia Vik José Ignacio

José Ignacio, Uruguay

On José Ignacio’s Mansa Beach, Bahia Vik spreads a main building and artist-designed bungalows through coastal dunes and native grasses, with the South Atlantic opening westward beyond them. Its accommodations range from ten suites in the slate-built central pavilion to private, multi-bedroom bungalow suites, several set directly by the beach. Contemporary art gives the rooms distinct identities, while terraces and open-air common spaces keep the landscape in view. The result is a design-led beach retreat shaped as much by dunes and shoreline as by its architecture.

Acapulco, Mexico

Banyan Tree Cabo Marqués occupies the cliffs above the Pacific in Acapulco’s Punta Diamante area. Its 45 private pool villas face the ocean or the rocky Puerto Marqués Bay coastline, giving the resort a small-scale, villa-led feel rather than a conventional hotel layout.
