Read our Luxe-trotter's Guides to the finest 5 star hotels in the World
For many, luxury is defined by the subtlety derived from simple pleasures, while for others it comes in a five star package of laid-on-gratification. Be it in earth-bound wonders or finely-tuned contemporary comfort, Luxury Explorer seeks to satisfy the needs and demands of intrepid peripatetics: a breed of discerning Luxe-trotters seeking the 'real deal' (which is different from the rest).
Our hand-picked 5 star luxury hotels and resorts are the best in the World. We know because we've actually been there, but you can share our experience, advice and insights before you book, when you read these Luxe-trotter's Guides to our favourite places.

Luxury Explorer has teamed up with South America travel experts, Dehouche, so if you would like to discuss your South American travel ideas, or would like us to tailor a bespoke itinerary for you, then please contact our concierge team.

Luxury Hotels in Bhutan
The reasons for visiting Bhutan are manifold. Trekking in Bhutan has a purpose beyond enjoying the unscathed terrain, as the entrenched spirituality washes the countryside: from fluttering prayer flags beside crystal clear water to auspicious monasteries atop pine-laden mountains. No trek or hike within the World's last Himalayan Kingdom is without an edifying spiritual reminder...

Luxe-trotter's Guide to Mallorca
Mallorca, also known as Majorca, is, in our opinion, the jewel of the Balearic Islands: wonderfully diverse in its geographical landscape with chalky rugged mountains in the north, a magnificently lush and picturesque hinterland and a semi-arid windmill-and-palm terrain in the far south. Every pocket has a special charm and cultural diversity culminating from an extraordinary history, evident too in the striking architecture...

Luxury Resorts in Bali and Indonesia
Indonesia hosts the world's largest archipelago, running from Sumatra, just below Singapore, almost to Australia. In the middle is the most famous of all the islands, Bali, one of the kindest and most welcoming places you could ever visit. Its 'little sister' is Lombok, a short flight away across the Lombok Strait, while Moyo Island is a sea plane flight further East, at the beginning of the Nusa Tenggara islands...

Luxe-trotting in Venice
Venice is a sea of dreams; a swimming metropolis of architectural magnificence with all its greatness, its extraordinary grandness and historical marvels, sitting in water. The canals are the roads and aside from footwork, the boats or gondolas are your cars.
When you approach Venice in your water taxi (about 80 Euros, but worth every cent) you can't help but feel the excitement that travellers and traders must...
