HOTEL HEAVEN: NEW OPENINGS

CALILO Ios, Greece

When it comes to the Greek Isles, a hammock on the deck of a whitewashed taverna would do us. But for a true ‘diedand-gone-to-heaven’ experience, Calilo is set in 1000 acres planted with 55,000 trees (including ancient olives). Raid the organic garden for your picnic, explore the nature trails, enjoy nine kilometres of private coastline, lounge in your luxury suite and soak in natural baths. calilo.gr

SONOP Omaanda, Namibia

The latest in the Zannier Hotels portfolio, Sonop is the ultimate romantic escape. It’s out-of-this-world Africa; from one of 10 luxury tents atop a cluster of boulders, get front-row seats to panoramic views (plenty of Insta fodder) and ample wildlife spotting opportunities. With two treatment rooms, a cocktail and cigar lounge and fabulous food, this is a once-ina-lifetime experience. zannierhotels.com

RAFFLES Singapore

This 130-year-old icon has been closed for a year for a mega-refurb (apart from a glimpse in the movie Crazy Rich Asians). With its reopening mid-year comes a rollcall of culinary talent: Three-michelin-starchef Anne-sophie Pic, chef Alain Ducasse and Masterchef Jereme Leung will be in residence at new restaurants La Dame de Pic, BBR by Alain Ducasse and yì by Jereme Leung. Expect fabulousness. raffles.com
