A rainforest retreat inCostaRica

Costa Rica’s awe-inspiring

wildlife, combined with its eco-credentials (in 2016, renewable energy provided 98.1 per cent of its power) have caught the eye of Elegant Resorts, which now offers trips to the Hacienda

Alta Gracia in the the Perez Zeledon region. After zip-lining, and white-water rafting, you can relax in the incredible spa, the largest in Central America.

When Aman reopened the doors to Amanruya, its tranquil hideaway on the scalloped Aegean coastline, it signalled that Turkey was back on the map. Here, 36 private pavilions built from local materials including terracotta, acajau wood and Turkish marble stand surrounded by olive-trees, while the idyllic beach club is dotted with Ottoman lounge beds. Elsewhere, the newly unveiled Mytha Hotel Anthology collection includes Il Riccio Beach House, also on the Bodrum Peninsula, and the glamorous D Maris Bay.

Exploringthe

Andamans

A remote archipelago of 300 islands, the Andamans are the last frontier of Indian tourism, and it’s hard to imagine a more perfect spot here than the new Taj Exotica villa-only resort, hidden among the coconut groves of Havelock Island. The hotel has an infinity pool, suspended above the

pristine white sand and shaded by giant mahout- and padauk-trees;

a sensational spa; easy access to remarkable coral canyons for diving; and alfresco dining at Turtle House.
