The Hottest Hotels Around The World

Virtuoso Travel Week gave us incredible insight into what our travel partners around the world are up to. When you're ready to travel globally, add these beautiful destinations to the top of your list - they are ready to welcome you back! 

Four Seasons Anguilla

The Four Seasons Resort and Residences is a 35 acre luxury beachfront resort showcasing modern glamour with a tropical oasis backdrop. Set along the island’s northwest shore, atop coralline bluffs overlooking two of Anguilla’s most pristine beaches, the Resort is a place to make memories with friends and family.

The beautiful island of Anguilla is located in the British West Indies in the Eastern Caribbean just five miles from the island of St. Martin— close enough for easy access yet secluded enough to feel like the embodiment of paradise on one of the world's most exclusive island destinations. Dubbed "tranquility wrapped in blue," Anguilla is best known for its pristine white sand beaches—33 in total—and beautiful, clear turquoise waters.

The property features sophisticated and contemporary interiors with a relaxed chic sensibility and unique sense of place; organic elements such as driftwood lamps, petrified-wood tables and travertine marble floors add a tasteful contrast to the geometric lines of the architecture.

Ocean-View Villas: Highest Views Of The Caribbean

Enjoy elevated sea views from higher on the hillside – along with easy access to Barnes Bay Beach and close proximity to the Resort’s restaurants and recreation amenities. Their Four-Bedroom Ocean-View Villas encompass two floors, providing the perfect balance of privacy and togetherness. Discover your Four Seasons home away from home in Anguilla.

SALT.

Take in the views of Barnes Bay and Meads Bay from SALT’s bluff top location as you dine on fresh breakfasts or vibrant seafood dinners.

One & Only Mandarina - Mexico

Flanked by jungle-clad mountains and the warm Pacific Ocean, One&Only Mandarina nestles in the heart of an intimate new destination set upon one of the last remaining coastal rainforests in Mexico. Intrinsically connected to the environment, One&Only Mandarina will blend the best of chic resort living, tropical relaxation, and authentic outdoor adventure. Providing the perfect balance between cliff-top villas, chic treehouse seclusion and their signature vibrant atmosphere, discover a truly connected environment.

Just north of Punta Mita, One&Only Mandarina nestles within an intimate new community set upon a rare undeveloped coastline along the Riviera Nayarit. Surrounded by lush jungle, swimmable white-sand beaches, and the federally protected Sierra del Vallejo Mountains, the resort offers a rich biodiversity rarely found on the Pacific coast.

One&Only Mandarina is an all-villa resort, with 105 striking standalone havens, made up of treehouses and cliff-top villas, set far apart for maximum peace and privacy. Every treehouse and villa is designed to frame incredible views over Pacific Ocean, jungle, and mountains, with expansive indoor and outdoor living space that blends with nature. All accommodation comes with its own plunge pool.

Relish the flavours of modern Mexico with exceptional resort dining curated by a world-class chef. Soak up the buzzing atmosphere of each unique dining space, enhanced by dramatic views of the ocean.

Explore miles of nature trails through flatlands and rainforest. Enjoy an array of land sports, an adventure playground with ziplines, and the nearby Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club – a hive of activity for riders and spectators alike. Work up a sweat in the gym carved from nature’s own landscape. Everything is designed to bring surrounding wilderness to life, to enlighten and entertain every age.

Or take to the ocean for a day on the waves, spotting whales, swimming, and indulging in fun water sports. Paddle up the winding estuary, observing native flora, fauna, and hundreds of migrating birds.
