Castlemartyr Resort

Grand Hotel Son Net

Andronis Arcadia

Consider Castlemartyr Resort in Cork, Ireland. A delightful juxtaposition of heritage and modern luxury, the 22-acre resort is in fact a restored manor house set next to the ruins of a centuries-old castle. Enhanced guest rooms, suites and residences, as well as a Michelin restaurant, wellness spa and 18-hole golf course, deliver contemporary comforts in one beautiful and historic location.

Head southeast, and you’ll find the Grand Hotel Son Net – an exquisite 35-suite boutique retreat nestled on a 17th-century estate in Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana range. The hotel’s classically decorated rooms showcase stunning mountain views alongside artworks and treasures of yore, while in-house restaurants celebrate fresh flavours and authentic Mediterranean and Majorcan traditions using only locally sourced produce.

If holistic healing is what you’re seeking, visit the heavenly hilltop retreat Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda, boasting suites with azure panoramas of Italy’s Lake Garda. From the spa treatments to the pools and saunas, and from the health-focused dining to the natural surrounds with hiking trails and serene hideaways, ‘relaxation’ is the watchword here.

Not far off, perched on the cliffs of the Santorini Caldera and offering gorgeous views of the Aegean Sea, is a sprawling all-suite Greek island resort with a boho-luxe vibe: Andronis Arcadia. The stellar service and natural beauty are the main attractions; choose any suite and you’ll be able to catch the glorious sunset while taking a dip in a private sea-facing pool. 

Kasbah Tamadot

Mont Rochelle

In Africa, palatial Kasbah Tamadot is tucked away in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. Everything here is just perfect for a memorable stay: lush gardens, tiled courtyards, beautiful Berber tents and riads. Truly authentic, the rooms and suites are outfitted with traditional furnishings and antiques, the restaurant fuses Moroccan cuisine with international ingredients, and the luxurious on-site spa leans on local ingredients. Berber village visits and superlative service are the cherry on top.

Over in Franschhoek, one of South Africa’s premier food and wine destinations, 26-room hotel and vineyard Mont Rochelle beckons visitors to its idyllic location at the foot of the Klein Dassenberg mountains. Savour it all: from rooms with dramatic views, to the pool, spa, gym and tennis courts, as well as two restaurants, a bar and a wine cellar boasting the best vintages of the Western Cape.

The Leela Palace Jaipur

The Fullerton Hotel

In India, The Leela Palace Jaipur makes an indelible first impression with its stunning white palatial façade set against the majestic Aravallis Range and complemented by lush gardens and villas with plunge pools, courtyards, fountains and terraces. The standard is set high with elegantly appointed rooms, stylishly decorated restaurants and quintessential Indian ceremonies offered in the late evening. Above all else, however, is the pleasingly warm and generous hospitality.

Head down under to Sydney and The Fullerton Hotel, situated in the city’s exclusive Martin Place. The 416-room property, housed within the General Post Office building, is just minutes from world-class restaurants, luxury shopping and top sightseeing attractions. Choose from modern rooms in the Tower Wing or classically inspired Heritage rooms in the historic building. At the hotel’s lounge and restaurant, indulgent dining is guaranteed.

Hotel Casa del Mar

NIZUC Resort & Spa

Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos

Necker Island

In sunny California, Hotel Casa del Mar is a grand landmark on the Santa Monica coastline, dressed as she is in her stunning Renaissance Revival architecture. Book into one of the 129 plush guest rooms and suites to enjoy sweeping views of the Pacific and the iconic pier, as well as ocean-fresh fine dining, eco-friendly spa treatments and languid afternoons at the guests-only Palm Terrace Pool overlooking the surf.

For a slice of paradise, the secluded NIZUC Resort & Spa in Cancun, Mexico is perfect, combining laid-back island charm with a lavish array of activities. Explore the scenic coastline snorkelling among exotic marine species, kayaking on still waters, or cruising aboard a luxury yacht. The 29-acre resort boasts 274 suites and private villas with ample amenities, from freestanding tubs to private pools and tropical gardens. 

On the Baja Sur Peninsula of Mexico’s Pacific coast is the all-inclusive, adults-only beachfront Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos, where guests can savour the good life. The 79-room, all-suite boutique resort delights discerning guests with unique offerings, including cooking classes and tequila tastings, alongside two restaurants, two bars, a relaxing spa and an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific.

Escaping to the exquisite British Virgin Isles, 74-acre private Necker Island resort is the absolute showstopper. Idyllic, exclusive and indulgent are the defining characteristics of this hideaway, better-known as Sir Richard Branson’s family home. Complete with serene Balinese villas, exotic wildlife, spectacular ocean views, immersive water sports and sumptuous dining experiences, Necker Island promises to elevate guests’ travels to new levels of luxe – as with every property in the Preferred Hotels & Resorts' Legend Collection.
