New arrivals

This month, we’ve scoured Mexico’s Costa Alegre to bring you new boutique hotels in Jalisco and Colima, including the colossal Goldsmith eco-retreat at Cuixmala.

We’ve also been sunning ourselves in Greece, where we found two chic retreats in Athens, and Italy, where we encountered the refined Tuscan wonder that is Borgo Santo Pietro.

Next month, look out for the first hotels in our Middle East collection, and a brace of boutique bolt-holes in the Indian Ocean…

From the rooms through to the restaurant, Kelly Wearstler’s interiors are tactile, golden and glamorous, with shaggy rugs, travertine floors, smooth terrazzo features, whitewashed driftwood, and, everywhere, the feeling that you’re being very spoilt indeed.
