New arrivals
This month, we dropped into a big, bold art deco diva opposite Hyde Park, and sampled some of London's best steak at its restaurant.
Next we hit the temple trail in Siem Reap, Cambodia, turning up a one-suite wonder and an arty three-room abode in a bustling Old Market alleyway. Our tropical tryst continued in Fiji, where we discovered three islands stays, including a honeymoon hot spot, a sophisticated family stay and castaway-chic private island escape.
Bali brought us a luxurious villa near chilled-out Canggu Beach, with cool pools and around-the-clock butler service.
Check back next month for our first foray in Peru, as well as new finds in Cambodia, the Bahamas and Mexico.
