Unwinding

The Residence Mauritius is a jewel of a hotel, the nostalgic kind of place where you expect to lounge beside the pool and spot Humphrey Bogart or Audrey Hepburn. It’s a tropical paradise from a bygone era, an elegant and altogether civilised place to relax.

Oberoi’s luxury Wildflower Hall is a mountain palace nestled in the hills of Shimla, 8,000 feet above sea level, and a retreat for the powerful and wealthy for centuries. At Wildflower you can savour the fresh air and spectacular views at the top of the world.

Azura Quilalea is your private island retreat in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Mozambique. Completely detached from the rest of the world, you can enjoy the eco chic resort in a pristine marine environment. It’s the island Robinson Crusoe wished he was marooned on.

The Amankora Bumthang resort is a stunning luxury lodge in the Bumthang district of Bhutan. Amankora comes from the Sanskrit word for peace, a perfect choice for this zen hideaway. Expect an isolated, tranquil experience, deep in the Himalayan Mountains.
