Equinox Hotel New York – Manhattan, New York, USA
This luxury haunt is the debut hotel for luxury fitness brand Equinox. While you may be familiar with the name for its ultra-chic fitness centres across the USA, Equinox’s first foray into hotels came about in 2019. Located in the up-and-coming development of Hudson Yards, aims to “redefine luxury” being a “temple to total regeneration”. With an all-encompassing approach to wellness and fitness, just as in the brand’s core DNA, no stone has been left unturned, so of course, the hotel has a 60,000-foot gym and 15,000-foot spa. Meanwhile, rooms feature a complete blackout window system, individual duvets and soundproof walls, all ensuring guests have the best night’s sleep.

Kalesma – Mykonos, Greece
Kalesma is perhaps the most exclusive resort you’ll find on the Greek island of Mykonos. The luxe hideaway features 12 one-bedroom villas, 13 one-bedroom suites and two larger villas accommodating up to 8 guests, all of which have their own pools, giving optimum privacy on this bustling island. In fact, it’s the only hotel in Mykonos where this level of privacy is found. Blending seamlessly into the surroundings of the island, the look and feel of the hotel has been designed as a collection of houses to resemble a charming Mykonian village, tumbling down a slope to Ornos Bay, just a short walk from the beach. Created by the Greek owners, every aspect of this hotel not only provides a truly secluded stay but also at its core ensures an authentic experience on one of the country’s most popular island getaways.
