The catalogue

Every stay we’ve reviewed

Nine hotels, resorts and retreats across the world — each visited in person and scored out of ten. Filter by the kind of trip you have in mind.

A cliffside retreat where every terrace hangs over the Tyrrhenian and breakfast arrives with the sound of the tide.

A restored 19th-century townhouse in Príncipe Real that trades marble grandeur for warm, liveable design.

A modern timber lodge under the Matterhorn, built for the walk in from the slopes and the long thaw by the fire.

A nine-room colonial house reworked in warm plaster and clay, steps from the mezcalerías of central Oaxaca.

A quiet valley retreat above the Tegallalang rice terraces, built entirely around water, shade and slowing down.

A six-tent camp on a private concession of the Okavango, run with a light footprint and an exceptional guiding team.

A low-slung guesthouse among the salt marshes of Île de Ré, built for bikes, oysters and unhurried Atlantic light.

Restored fishermen’s cabins on stilts over a Lofoten fjord, aimed squarely at the aurora and the midnight sun.

A riad of cool marble and old fig trees hidden in the medina, five quiet minutes from the roar of Jemaa el-Fnaa.
