Borneo Eagle Resort

Borneo Eagle Resort occupies Pulau Tiga, a volcanic island off the Sabah coast that most travellers pass over in favour of better-known Kota Kinabalu alternatives.

Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

Conrad Punta de Mita

Opened in September 2020 along two miles of Nayarit coastline, Conrad Punta de Mita translates the Hilton Worldwide flagship tier into a deeply Mexican context.

Dolphin Island, Fiji

Dolphin Island

Dolphin Island is a 14-acre private island off the coast of Viti Levu, accommodating no more than eight guests under an exclusive-use policy. Four thatched-roof bures blend open-air tropical architecture with dark heartwood interiors and freestanding baths. Daily menus built around a local fisherman's catch, complimentary water sports, and a Hilltop Sleep-Out Bure position this as one of Fiji's most intimate escapes.

Dolphin Island, Fiji

Albufeira, Portugal

EPIC SANA Algarve

At Praia da Falésia, one of the Algarve's most consistently praised stretches of coastline, EPIC SANA Algarve operates at a scale that places it firmly in the resort tier: 229 rooms positioned above the ochre cliffs that define this part of the Atlantic shore.

Albufeira, Portugal

Occupying a converted Morningside Manor estate six kilometres from Sandton's central business district, Fairlawns Boutique Hotel and Spa delivers a format that Johannesburg's premium accommodation tier rarely achieves at this scale: 40 individually designed suites, candlelit in-house dining at the Amuse Bouche restaurant, Balinese spa gardens, and a La Liste Top Hotels 2026 score of 91 points.

Johannesburg, South Africa

British Columbia, Canada

Fawn Bluff

Fawn Bluff belongs to British Columbia’s remote-lodge tradition rather than its resort circuit: six bedrooms, exclusive-use format, and a 340-acre wilderness setting in Bute Inlet. Its appeal is architectural as much as experiential, with the house, lake, rainforest, wildlife and staff-led field access forming one tightly controlled private retreat.

British Columbia, Canada

Los Olivos, United States

Fess Parker Wine Country Inn

A 19-room inn on Grand Avenue in Los Olivos, Fess Parker Wine Country Inn places guests at the center of Santa Barbara Wine Country without the scale of a resort. The property reads as a village-scaled retreat — close enough to walk to tasting rooms, far enough from the highway to feel genuinely removed. For travelers working the Santa Ynez Valley circuit, it functions as a considered base rather than a destination in itself.

Los Olivos, United States

Miami, United States

Four Seasons Hotel Miami

Florida's tallest hotel tower anchors the Brickell financial district at 70 stories of glass and granite overlooking Biscayne Bay. The Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star property earned its reputation as Miami's power-crowd address through two decades of consistent positioning, a 2-acre pool terrace, 50,000 square feet of Equinox fitness and spa facilities, and EDGE Steak & Bar off the main lobby. It sits 10 to 15 minutes from the city's prime attractions and 20 minutes from Miami International Airport.

Río Grande, Puerto Rico

Charlestown, St Kitts And Nevis

Four Seasons Resort Nevis

On Pinney's Beach, the Four Seasons Resort Nevis occupies a quieter register than the Caribbean's more trafficked resort islands. Three infinity pools, a Robert Trent Jones II golf course threaded through rainforest, and a recently redesigned room portfolio position it at the upper end of the Federation's accommodation options. Star Wine List recognition in 2026 adds a credible drinks credential to a property already known for its tennis and beach infrastructure.

Charlestown, St Kitts And Nevis

Valletta, Malta

Grand Hotel Excelsior

Valletta, Malta

Noordwijk aan Zee, Netherlands

Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin

Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin occupies one of the Dutch coast's most recognisable positions, a 254-room seafront property on Noordwijk aan Zee's Koningin Astrid Boulevard. The hotel represents the larger-scale end of the Dutch coastal hospitality spectrum, where scale and seafront access define the offer rather than boutique minimalism. For the North Sea coast, it remains the reference point against which smaller properties in the region are measured.

Noordwijk aan Zee, Netherlands

Honolulu, United States

Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani

Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani occupies 288 rooms at 2233 Helumoa Road, operating as the sister property to the storied Halekulani on the quieter inland edge of Waikiki.

It suits travellers who want proximity to the beach corridor with a calibrated level of service.

Honolulu, United States

Salt Spring Island, Canada

Hastings House

Hastings House gives Salt Spring Island a country-house hotel rather than a resort template: small-scale, rural, and defined by its relationship to Ganges Harbour and the island’s slower travel rhythm. Its inclusion in Tablet Hotels’ 2026 Design Awards places the property in a design-led conversation, where architecture, setting, and restraint matter more than spectacle.

Salt Spring Island, Canada

Cancún, Mexico

Haven Riviera Cancun

Los Cabos, Mexico

Morelia, Mexico

Hotel & Spa Mansion Solis by HOTSSON

A 24-room boutique property in Morelia's Chapultepec Norte neighbourhood, Mansion Solis by HOTSSON occupies a historic mansion setting that positions it firmly in the city's architectural heritage circuit.

Hotel Albergo

A 1930s mansion in Achrafieh that holds the 2025 World Travel Awards title for Lebanon's Leading Boutique Hotel, Hotel Albergo operates within the Relais & Châteaux network and rates from US$306 per night.

Genoa, Italy

Hotel Bristol Palace

On Via XX Settembre, one of Genoa's main commercial arteries, Hotel Bristol Palace has anchored the upper tier of the city's traditional hotel stock for well over a century.

Genoa, Italy

The property sits within walking distance of the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts and the coastal trail system, making it a practical base for both business travelers and those arriving for wilderness access.

Victoria, Canada

Villa y Puerto de Tazacorte, Spain

Hotel Hacienda de Abajo

A 32-room heritage property on the western edge of La Palma, Hotel Hacienda de Abajo occupies a restored colonial-era hacienda in Tazacorte, where thick volcanic-stone walls and carved timber details set it apart from the island's coastal resort strip. The property operates at a scale and architectural register that places it alongside Spain's small luxury conversion hotels rather than its larger beach resorts.

Villa y Puerto de Tazacorte, Spain

Cancún, Mexico

Hotel Mousai Cancun - A Tafer Resort

Hotel Mousai Cancun sits within the Tafer Resort collection as an adults-only property with 88 rooms positioned at the quieter northern stretch of the hotel zone.

Lisbon, Portugal

London, United Kingdom

InterContinental London Park Lane

Few Mayfair addresses carry the layered history of One Hamilton Place, where InterContinental London Park Lane occupies the site of the Queen's former childhood home. With Hyde Park views, three distinct dining and bar options including Theo Randall's celebrated Italian restaurant, and the recently redesigned Mayfair Collection suites, this IHG flagship operates at a different register to most chain luxury in the capital.

London, United Kingdom

Merricks North, Australia

Jackalope Hotel

Jackalope Hotel brings a design-led hotel vocabulary to Merricks North, where Mornington Peninsula wine country usually trades on cellar doors, long lunches, and coastal weekending. Its inclusion in Tablet Hotels’ 2026 Design Awards puts the property in a sharper frame: this is a stay to judge by architecture, atmosphere, and how confidently it interprets its rural setting.

Merricks North, Australia

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

KOIA All-Suite Wellbeing Resort on Kos holds a rare triple award position: Global Winner for Luxury Sustainable Hotel, Continental Winner for Luxury Adults Only Boutique Hotel, and Country Winner for Luxury Concept Hotel. The property operates in the smaller, design-led tier of Greek island hospitality, where low capacity and architectural intention matter more than resort scale. It addresses an adult traveller who treats the physical environment as the primary reason to book.

Kos, Greece

Zakynthos, Greece

Lesante Classic

Lesante Classic occupies a 119-room property in Planos, Zakynthos, positioned within the Ionian island's growing tier of considered retreat-style hotels. The scale allows for dedicated wellness infrastructure that smaller properties in the same market cannot sustain.

Venice, Italy

Rethymno, Greece
