A secluded Positano icon with private sea-view terraces, a cliffside beach club, complimentary boat trips and one of Italy’s most spectacular tennis courts.

The Luberon without sleeping in its most famous village. Two pools, two restaurants, three-bedroom suites and Bonnieux a walk downhill.

A hilltop Palace above Vence with beautiful gardens, a La Prairie spa and some of the best private family villas on the French Riviera. Come for the views. Book the villa because traveling with children is considerably nicer when everyone has a bedroom.

A restored Belle Époque grand hotel with a decidedly modern surprise inside: glass bathtubs, open showers, contemporary art and excellent two-bedroom family suites. Best of all, Saint-Tropez is an eight-minute boat ride away.

A relaxed Belle Époque hotel at the entrance to Cap-Ferrat with one of the few private sandy beaches on this coastline, a heated pool and Beaulieu-sur-Mer on foot.

An intimate beachfront Maison minutes from Saint-Tropez, with a private beach, three-Michelin-starred dining and some excellent but very specific room options.

A glamorous Paris Palace with newly renovated oversized rooms, spectacular Jeff Leatham flowers, six Michelin stars and service that makes the city remarkably easy.

A polished new Mykonos retreat above Kalo Livadi Bay with 94 sea-view rooms, suites and villas, a private beach, two infinity pools and a quieter, more grown-up take on the island.

A glamorous new hideaway between Paraga and Paradise Beach with private-pool suites, waterfront bungalows, ROKA Beach Club and just enough distance from the Mykonos scene to recover from it.

The most famous infinity pool in the world? Quite possibly. A 23-room Art Nouveau villa perched on the Bürgenstock that feels more like a private mansion than a hotel.

Reachable only by cogwheel train and perched 2,222 meters high. A storybook retreat with Europe’s highest heated outdoor pool and front-row seats to the Matterhorn.

The ultimate insider address. A historic, ivy-draped sanctuary hidden behind a secret courtyard in the Place des Vosges. The charm of a country house in the absolute center of Paris.

A clifftop icon floating 500 meters above Lake Lucerne. Arrive by catamaran and funicular to discover a world-class wellness destination with views that feel truly infinite.

A modern-day Acropolis overlooking the Aegean. Private pavilions with reflection pools and 360-degree views of olive groves, where the architecture is as breathtaking as the silence.
