Geared toward discerning travelers on the hunt for exclusive getaways and bespoke experiences around Asia, Secret Retreats represents a community of small, independent properties that evoke a true sense of place with an authentic local feel. Each property has been chosen for defending and upholding the traditions of their country, the strength of their individual character, and attention to detail in both service and design. A warm, personal atmosphere is a must, as are a range of unique experiences, be it in the cuisine, local sights, wellness treatments, and art collections. Member hotels, residences, and boats are also characterized by a commitment to sustainable practices involving environmental conservation and the preservation of local culture. With an average capacity of just 20 rooms, Secret Retreats offers a level of intimacy that allows for more immersive stays and closer, more meaningful interactions. With Secret Retreats, guests can expect a winning blend of taste, refinement, simplicity, a sense of hospitality and fine gastronomy. The recently launched brand Secret Tables aims to extend those same criteria to restaurants across Asia.
