SECRET SANCTUARIE­S

Feel right at home in Bintan, the Maldives, and Tunisia with The Residence by Cenizaro.

-

The Residence by Cenizaro is poised to make your dream of an unforgetta­ble vacation in some of the world’s most alluring destinatio­ns a reality, thanks to its portfolio of six highly individual properties.

The brand has not one but two private- island resorts in the Maldives, connected by a postcard- perfect onekilomet­er bridge. Its newest property, The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah, made its debut this July, introducin­g 173 water and beach villas as well as restaurant­s like modern Cantonese venue Li Bai. Next door, The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafu­shi boasts 94 villas, an exciting lineup of drinking and dining venues, and the first and only Spa by Clarins in the Maldives. The twin resorts unite the beauty of traditiona­l Maldivian architectu­re with modern design and creature comforts, with guests free to access the facilities on both islands.

Less than an hour from Singapore by high- speed ferry, the Indonesian isle of Bintan is the idyllic setting for the brand’s first Southeast Asian outpost. The Residence

Bintan opened last February on the island’s eastern coast, creating a den of tranquilit­y with 127 spacious villas and rooms scattered across a lush, manicured beachfront property— a place within easy reach of a fascinatin­g array of cultural sites.

The brand also excels when it comes to island retreats in the Indian Ocean. Home to 135 well- appointed rooms and 28 suites, along with four casualchic restaurant­s and bars, The Residence Mauritius delivers a sublime, luxurious stay along one of the island’s most beautiful white- sand beaches. Meanwhile, African and Omani heritage add plenty of local color to the guest experience at The Residence Zanzibar, a 66- villa property that was recently picked as one of The

Telegraph’s top 10 resorts on the fabled Tanzanian island.

Perched on the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterran­ean,

The Residence Tunis has 161 rooms and nine suites done up in classic old- world style, making it an ideal base for relaxing and culture- oriented escapes. The next two years will see the addition of three more hotels in Tunisia, each one honing in on a different side of the alluring North African country. Cenizaro is branching out to Douz— a gateway to the Sahara Desert—the UNESCO-listed Medina of Tunis, and the picturesqu­e island of Djerba.
