Our Favourite Retreats
Our Handpicked Selection of Boutique Retreats
Here we share the places that truly moved us: boutique hotels, hidden seaside gems, and secluded retreats that blend comfort with character. Each stay is handpicked by us — places we have experienced ourselves and would return to in a heartbeat.
From cliffside sanctuaries with sweeping views, to tranquil villas tucked away in nature, these are the escapes where memories linger long after checkout.
We partner only with properties we genuinely love and believe will inspire your journey, so every recommendation comes from our own story, not from a template.
Your next adventure deserves a backdrop as unforgettable as the journey itself.
Nomade
Isla Holbox (Mexico)
Nomade Holbox is a seaside sanctuary perched on a dreamy stretch of Holbox Island, where emerald water meets powder-white sand and your pace slows to match the ocean’s rhythm. With just 30 adults-only rooms, each space is a quiet escape — think oceanfront suites that open to sea breezes, treehouse suites among palms, and Moon Temple rooms with indoor-outdoor bathrooms that let nature in.
Wellness here isn’t an add-on — it’s woven into every moment. From sunrise yoga on the beach deck, sound-healing ceremonies in the Gratitude Tent, to the “Agua Mágica” water rituals, every day is made for restoring calm.
Nomade is perfect if you want luxe design that still feels soul-deep, moments of silence and connection, and views that burn into your memory long after the trip ends.
Be Tulum
Tulum Beach, Zona Hotelera (Mexico)
Nestled between Tulum’s lush jungle and the white-sand beach, Be Tulum is an adults-only boutique hotel that captures the essence of barefoot luxury. Its 64 suites blend earthy elegance with modern comfort—think private plunge pools, stone tubs, and open-air showers set in natural wood and woven textures.
Wellness is at its heart, with access to the serene Yäan Healing Sanctuary just across the road, offering temazcal rituals, yoga, and holistic treatments. The vibe is calm by day, sultry by night, with candle-lit paths and low-key music drifting from beach bars.
Dining is elevated yet relaxed. Enjoy fresh seafood and grilled dishes at 4 Fuegos, raw bites at Maresias, or global flavors at the fine-dining spot Ocumare.
La Lanna
Chiang Mai (Thailand)
La Lanna unfolds like a secret sanctuary, where mornings wake to the gentle rustle of palms and evenings soften beneath lantern-lit skies. Traditional woodwork and local artistry flow seamlessly with modern comforts, creating rooms that feel like intimate havens designed for rest and renewal.
Begin your day with a cup of rich Thai coffee on a balcony overlooking tranquil gardens or shimmering waters, and let the warmth of hospitality lead you through quiet moments of discovery. Whether it’s time spent by the serene pool, wandering shaded courtyards, or savoring flavors inspired by the land under a canopy of stars, La Lanna offers the graceful pause every journey longs for.
Sametnangshe
Phangnga Bay (Thailand)
Perched high above Phang Nga Bay, Sametnangshe Boutique Hotel is a front-row seat to some of Thailand’s most breathtaking horizons. From your balcony or infinity pool, the limestone karsts rise out of turquoise waters, shifting in color as the day unfolds.
At dawn, the bay is wrapped in soft mist; by evening, the sky turns molten gold and violet — sunsets here feel almost cinematic. Every room, villa, and suite is designed to frame these vistas, with wide terraces, soaking tubs, and open spaces that invite you to linger a little longer.
Dining, too, becomes part of the spectacle: Thai flavors and fresh seafood shared as the sun dips low, the horizon glowing just beyond your table. It’s a retreat where the views aren’t just beautiful — they’re unforgettable.
Kasbah Tamadot
Marrakech (Morocco)
Set high in the foothills of Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, Kasbah Tamadot offers sweeping views of carved peaks, orchards, and valleys that stretch far beyond the eye.
Luxury lives in every detail here: antique-furnished rooms, lush gardens, Berber tents, and riads each serenaded by mountain air.
One of its most arresting features is the heated outdoor infinity pool perched on a terrace — it mirrors the sky and mountains, creating a moment of stillness where water, horizon, and light meet.
By night, a rooftop terrace and fire-lit setting make it easy to believe you’ve stepped into a reverie — views that turn golden at sunset, then fade into stars.
Son Bunyola
Mallorca (Spain)
Nestled in the rugged foothills of Mallorca’s Tramuntana Mountains, Son Bunyola is a dream brought to life—a 16th-century finca reborn into a serene luxury retreat where history whispers in every stone, olive grove, and crenellated tower.
Here, natural textures meet warm design: wooden beams, lime-washed walls, plush linens, and large windows framing sea views one moment, mist-kissed mountains the next.
The 27 rooms and suites—including standout Tower Suites in ancient turrets—offer peaceful refuge, each with unique character and private terraces or vistas that stretch toward sky and sea.
Mealtime is a celebration of Mallorca: two restaurants serving dishes crafted from estate-grown produce, fungal herbs, olives, citrus, paired with local wines and sunset views that feel like art.
