Ready to plan your luxury tropical getaway for the coming winter months? Perfectly positioned on Raa Atoll on Muravandhoo Island in the Maldives, the newly opened Joali Maldives is ready to welcome travelers in 73 exclusive, oceanfront, private island villas.

Distinguished as the region’s first art-immersive hotel, the all-inclusive property has a private art gallery and studio space. Accommodations on the 24-acre grounds include two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, along with luxurious beach villas built above the water — designed by Tokyo-based Studio Glitt, Atolye4n architecture and design studio and internationally renowned design studio Autoban.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted by an artisan wood entrance. Uniquely inviting spaces within the resort include the Manta Ray Treehouse designed by functional art luminary Porky Hefer, where private dining is available. Botanical workshops can be enjoyed in the Flower Garden, while water lovers can take to the sea for a custom excursion, or enjoy snorkeling, luxury camping or a stargazing adventure on the property’s own private sandbar.

Indulgent healing treatments with tropical themes can be experienced at Joali Spa by ESPA, while family-friendly activities include interactive treasure hunts, children’s spa treatments or storytelling sessions led by a local narrator. However you choose to work up an appetite, you’ll find plenty of satisfaction at four dining venues that include Saoke, designed by Japanese restaurant architect Noriyoshi Muramatsu. Other choices play on the island’s fresh bounty at Vandhoo’s Asian- and Levant-inspired fare; homemade pasta dishes at Bellinis; or Her Kitchen, which also offers cooking classes.

Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh Review

Phnom Penh as we imagined it stretches beneath us: a picturesque, low-rise mix of Southeast Asian and French Colonial styles. When the inhabitants of those buildings look back at us here in the Fairfield by Marriott hotel in Chip Mong Tower, they see the future.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
