2020 will be remembered as the year when travel was put on hold while we collectively battled with the pandemic that has changed the world. There are times when we will have questioned our mortality and times when we seriously questioned whether life as we once knew it will ever return. We think that the following luxury hotels and resorts should be on your post-pandemic bucket list. Each of them offers escapism in their unique way; whether they help you escape from the city or escape to the ocean, we feel that they’ve got you covered.
Fusion Resort Cam Ranh
Located just a short drive from Cam Ranh International Airport, you can be relaxing in your luxury pool villa at Fusion Resort Cam Ranh while booking your all-inclusive spa treatments, less than an hour after touching down.
With all villas featuring a private pool and breakfast served ‘any time, anywhere’ each day can commence with a poolside breakfast followed by some serious relaxing. This morning routine is the perfect preparation for a day of yoga classes, massage treatments, and facials, all arranged by your very own ‘Fusionista’ who will ensure that every element of your stay is just fine.
The Peninsula Bangkok
Considered by many to be the leading luxury hotels in Bangkok, you are in for a treat when checking in The Peninsula Bangkok.
On the Chao Praya River banks, this urban oasis with an award-winning spa, multi-level, riverside pool, and a selection of restaurants will keep even the most demanding foodies more than satisfied. Every room or suite boasts stunning river views, and they are presented in a refined style that is both elegant and exquisitely stylish.
Cordis Hong Kong
Based in Mongkok’s heart, Cordis Hong Kong is located perfectly for access to everything that this vibrant city has to offer.
Whether you are there for business or an exciting city break, you will love the modern and stylish design of your room or suite; the supremely comfortable beds are what is needed after an exhausting day. Dining options include the opportunity to enjoy a Michelin starred culinary experience at Ming Court, the Cantonese fine dining restaurant, which has been impressing diners for many years.
Six Senses Uluwatu
Perched on the edge of a cliff with far-reaching ocean vistas, Six Senses Uluwatu is an extraordinary resort in a superb location.
The uninterrupted sea views are truly breathtaking, and as with all Six Senses resorts, you can expect wellness and nutritional dining experiences to play a large part in your stay. Each of the well-appointed suites and villas takes full advantage of the magnificent views of the Indian Ocean. For those who desire the ultimate in privacy and seclusion, why not book ‘The Retreat’ where you can enjoy more than 1500 square meters and four bedrooms of luxury living with friends or family.
So as we move into the third quarter of 2020, we can all start thinking about travel again. For us, that is all part of ‘normal life’ and something that makes us smile during these times of uncertainty.
