ÀNI Dominican Republic – Rio San Juan, Dominican Republic The story of ÀNI Private Resorts began back in 2010, when the group was founded by arts patron and philanthropist, Tim Reynolds, bringing the meaning of bespoke, private travel to the next level. The resort group now consists of four properties in Thailand, Anguilla, Sri Lanka and the Dominican Republic. ÀNI Dominican Republic is located on the island’s north coast, offering an ultra-exclusive stay for up to 28 guests. With a team of 30 staff members, the concept of each ÀNI stay is to fine-tune it to the standalone group’s needs from dining experiences to immersive cultural experiences, spa treatments, fitness and more. aniprivateresorts.com/anidominican-republic

The Goring Hotel – London, UK The Goring Hotel was founded by Otto Goring in 1910 and has been run by the family for over a century. The hotelier had his sights set on a plot of land right near Buckingham Palace, which officially became the home of The Goring Hotel on March 2, 1910. Now under the leadership of Jeremy Goring, the hotel has also been a favourite of royalty throughout the years and even had a Royal Warrant granted back in 2013. Complete with 69 luxury suites and rooms, it embodies true “English luxury” right in the heart of the country’s capital city. thegoring.com

IMAGES: SUPPLIED Habitas Tulum – Mexico Luxury hotel group Habitas was founded by Oliver Ripley, Kfir Levy and Eduardo Castillo back in 2014 with the aim to bring a like-minded community together with a love for travel, connection and authentic experiences. “We were building something for ourselves, an experience that didn’t exist,” Ripley previously told Emirates Woman. The first location the group opened was its Tulum property, back in 2016. The property features a mixture of jungle rooms, pool rooms, ocean front rooms and ocean breeze rooms, all of which are designed to “coexist with nature”, built with sustainability in mind, using materials with no impact on its surrounding environment. The Tulum-based resort encourages its guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and experience through music, wellness, adventure, art and more. Eight years since launching, the group now has five properties under its name, with six more set to open soon. ourhabitas.com/tulum/

The Mark Hotel – New York, New York The Mark Hotel, located on the Upper East Side of New York City, has nearly a century-long history.
