Americas and the Caribbean
The Strand: Overlooking Cooper Jack Bay in Providenciales, The Strand in Turks and Caicos offers beachfront villas and secluded residences with expansive terraces and hand-crafted infinity pools.

Van Oys Maastricht Retreat: This 81-key property is located on the banks of the Maas River but still in close proximity to the city of Maastricht, Netherlands. F&B outlets include Restaurant Maes, fine-dining at Remise and Bar César. The property’s culinary studio offers a chef’s table master class with Michelin-star talent. Guests will find that restoration and rejuvenation go hand in hand at the Nature Spa & Gym.
Capo d’Orso Thalasso & Spa: This 80-key hotel is located at the foot of the Bear Rock monument in Palau, Italy. Capo d’Orso feels more like an extension of nature, with its nearby beaches, hidden hammocks among wild olive and juniper trees, and coastal paths leading to a lighthouse. Guests can enjoy breakfast with a live harp performance and head to the Thalasso & Spa for a day of relaxation. Guests can sail from the private marina to Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena, or play a nine-hole game on the Pitch & Putt golf course with scenic ocean views.
Patria Palace: The 42-room hotel in Lecce, Italy offers a front-row view of the Basilica of Santa Croce. Formerly a noble residence designed by architect Mauro Manieri in the 18th century, the palace became the city’s first “locanda” and later Puglia’s first five-star hotel. Facilities include a rooftop restaurant and bar, neighboring Beach Club with a private guest shuttle, and a soon-to-open spa.
Villars Palace: Located in the heart of the Swiss Alps, this year-round destination offers world-class snow activities in winter and hiking or biking trails in summer.

Guests can unwind at the KAEA Villars Alpine Spa, complete with an outdoor pool, a fitness center, sauna, hammam, and a variety of treatments. The signature restaurant, Le 1913, serves Alpine dishes with a Mediterranean twist, while the Bar du Palace offers a range of cocktails.

Fine dining highlights include Michelin-starred dining at Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall, Asian-fusion cuisine at Bar & Restaurant EightyEight, and modern British flavors at Fletchers Restaurant. Guests can explore the countryside and historic sites that surround this property.
Chiemgauhof Lakeside Retreat: Set along the shores of Lake Chiemsee in Übersee, Germany, the property has just 28 suites that reflect the simplicity and charm of the Bavarian Alpine region.

In the restaurant, diners can enjoy regional flavors with an international twist while taking in views of the surrounding landscape.
Anthology of Athens: Located in the heart of Athens, the newly opened 18-room hotel embraces biophilic design with a cascading, vertical patio and rooftop gardens.
