Boutique hotels
Our luxury boutique hotels have all the luxury, comfort, style, good food and service you would expect in a five star hotel, but on a more intimate scale. We prefer to use the term 'petit-luxe' to describe this type of hotel. We have some of the best luxury boutique hotels in London, including: One Aldwych, The Metropolitan, The Halkin, Sanderson and St Martin's Lane. Our beautiful boutique hotels around the world include: La Tremoille in Paris, super luxurious Cap Estel on the Cote d'Azur; Ca' Sagredo in Venice, the Royalton in New York, Delano in Miami, Casa Angelina on Italy's Amalfi Coast, Gran Hotel La Florida overlooking Barcelona, Amanjena outside Marrakech and The Metropolitan Bangkok. Our latest favourite is the stunning La Reserve in Ramatuelle, just outside St Tropez.
Luxury resorts
5 star beach resorts include all Amanresorts' magnificent properties in, Bali, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Turks and Caicos and beyond, as well as Carlisle Bay in Antigua, La Samanna in St Martin, Maroma in Mexico, Cocoa Island in the Maldives, Aleenta in Thailand, The Oberoi Mauritius and Ponta dos Ganchos in Brazil. Hotel Bora Bora re-opens in 2011.
Heavenly hideaways
We love to escape to the countryside and so seek out the finest retreats where you can rest and unwind. In Europe we love our gastronomic hideaways like Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons in Oxfordshire, Oustau de Baumaniere in Les Baux and Le Prieure in Villeneuve-les-Avignon. Elsewhere in France we adore Villa Gallici in Aix-en-Provence, Chateua Eza on the Cote d'Azur, La Bastide de Marie in Menerbes, Le Melezin in Courchevel, Villa Marie in St Tropez, and many more. In Italy our hideaway collection includes Borgo Santo Pietro, La Locanda delle Donne Monache in Maratea, Villa San Michele and Il Salviatino outside Florence and Hotel Splendido in Portofino. We are also particularly fond of our luxury hotels in Mallorca: La Residencia in Deia, Gran Hotel Son Net in Puigpuynent and Gran Hotel Son Julia - a beautifully restored 15th Century finca 20 minutes south of Palma. In Portugal, we recommend Aquapura Douro Valley as a fabulous spa escape.
