Borgo Santandrea is one of the few local hotels with a private beach club – beautifully designed sun loungers and umbrellas dotting the golden sand included – its own jetty, an expansive pool that overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea, plus two bars and three restaurants.

Its traditional-meets-contemporary vibe comes to life in a pair of bars and a trio of restaurants led by chef Crescenzo Scotti, including the Michelin-starred Alici, where you can enjoy regional Campania flavors on a panoramic terrace.

Perfectly capturing the essence of la dolce vita, Borgo Santandrea is where rugged old-world charm jives with Mid-Century modern ideals and contemporary sophistication, yielding a transportive, jaw-dropping seaside escape.

You know you're where you want to be.

It takes a fine hotel to stand out amid the legends of the Amalfi Coast, but the ultra-chic, ultra-luxe Borgo Santandrea seems up to the task.

For visitors, gazing out over the raw, untouched white desert is breath-taking and humbling all at once, a stark reminder of the planet’s power, and its need for us to protect its coldest corners. A soft blanket and a whisky on the rocks await.

The camp is composed of six pods, in which floor-to-ceiling windows bring the mesmerizing vistas of the ice-covered landscape straight to the comfort of your bed.

When you feel like you’ve nearly done it all in “bucket list” travel, and you have the financial bandwidth to partake in a one-of-a-kind, ultra-exclusive journey that could potentially outshine most—if not all—of your previous global pursuits.

The Rock Pool, squeezed between natural sandstone pinnacles next to the spa, has what must be one of the most spectacular settings anywhere for an infinity pool.

The setting, in the otherworldly Ashar Valley, is extraordinary, and steeped in truly ancient history — and it takes quite a hotel to live up to these surroundings. Banyan Tree AlUla, however, is absolutely up to the task.
