Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand

Bay of Many Coves

Bay of Many Coves sits at the end of a 30-minute ferry ride from Picton, accessible only by water or air, with 11 apartment-style rooms oriented toward a private cove in the Marlborough Sounds. At NZD $1,269 per night, it occupies the upper tier of New Zealand's small-footprint wilderness retreats, combining fine dining with direct access to dolphin swimming, kayaking, and some of the country's most celebrated sauvignon blanc country.
