LUXURY TRAVEL NEWS, REVIEWS AND ADVICE
Soneva Jani is an absolutely magical resort with no real substitutes or alternatives anywhere in the world.
When you're here you slowly come to realise that everything about the property is designed to unlock a sense of childlike wonder within you and to break down your inhibitions, releasing that inner child that we all keep bottled up inside. In a way the various tricks that this property plays to achieve this reminded me of having dinner at a Alinea in Chicago, sure it's a very elegant and expensive fine dining restaurant but the moment that everyone starts inhaling helium out of candy balloons and giggling at each other, even in a supposedly formal environment of luxury, the walls of societal artifice come crashing down and that precisely is what's so very special about Soneva Jani.
This hotel just isn't playing by the same rules as any other property anywhere in the world.
One of the best deals in the Maldives has just been renewed for most of 2025.

BVLGARI Tokyo is not only my favourite hotel in Tokyo, it is now my personal number one city hotel in the world.
The atmosphere at this hotel is hard to describe, honestly the words tranquility and serenity don't do it justice. When you stay here, you feel like you never want to leave and honestly that's my only criticism of this hotel. It's so good that it's a destination in and of itself. The views of the city and Mount Fuji in particular are spectacular but being in the hotel is such a wonderfully relaxing experience that it can be hard to pull yourself away and actually spend time outside, in Tokyo. Having said that, when you do leave the hotel the fact that there's a complimentary Maserati at hand to drive you around the local vicinity, definitely sweetens the proposition somewhat.
Monwana was an absolutely magical experience from start to finish.
Since our visit the accolades have come thick and fast, with Monwana most recently being awarded the No.1 African Safari Lodge in the 2024 Travel+Leisure awards. Given everything that we experienced, I'd say that this is well and truly deserved.
The design manages to perfectly embody a sense of place, whilst remaining decidedly modern and veering away from the usual pastiche of pith helmets and zebra print rugs. Clearly a lot of thought went into the details in the rooms and they are every bit as impressive as top resort properties in places like the Maldives or Thailand.
For global citizens seeking a luxury hotel in the heart of Mayfair, yet worlds away from its flash and flair, Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane is where global sophistication meets London’s dynamic character, from a Michelin-starred breakfast with Chef Yannick Alléno to the alchemical magic of a concierge team holding more Les Clefs d’Or Golden Keys than anywhere else in London.
Four Seasons Park Lane is now offering a Guaranteed Upgrade and Early Check-In through to the end of April.
Four Seasons Madrid is arguably one of the best city hotels in all of Europe. Indeed the room hardware, service and F&B are at the very forefront of any Four Seasons city hotel globally.
The remarkable attention to detail in the craftsmanship seems to permeate every aspect of the experience here. Staff are incredibly attentive and helpful throughout every department of the property and the constant flow of in-room treats and amenities rivals even Aman hotels when it comes to generosity.
