Sometimes we just need a good old-fashioned holiday. However, there’s nothing out-dated about resorts these days.
There’s an easeful simplicity to staying in one location for your entire vacation, it’s safe, secure, easily accessible and guarantees the opportunity for some downtime. World-class resorts boast impeccable service and 5* facilities, from Michelin Star dining, designer interiors and world-class spas, to eclectically stocked libraries, boutique cinemas and pumping fitness classes (should you be inclined). Whilst classic “all-inclusive” stays have transformed into the most exquisite, tailor-made experiences, integrating adventure, wellness, wildlife and more.
However, there are some resorts that simply take it up a notch. Perhaps exploring the local sea life via your very own private yacht sounds appealing or jumping in the hotel’s helicopter for a picnic on the slopes; try sleeping under the stars in a beach bubble tent, or if you’re in the know, gain access to top-secret hidden rooms and private suites. Depending on the occasion, you may want to rent the entire resort for total exclusivity, which is possible too.
