TRISARA PHUKET (link) (instagram)
Location: 60/1 Moo 6, Srisoonthorn Road Cherngtalay, Thalang, Phuket, Thailand
Year built: 2004
Architect/ designer: Ben Bensley and P49 Design
Ethos: Privacy is the ultimate luxury.
When it comes to beach resorts, decadence is second nature when it comes to design – over the top, opulent, and ornate are probably words that come to mind. Trisara Phuket, a beach resort through and through, takes a different, more subdued approach. Trisara means “third garden in heaven” in Sanskrit, and upon arrival, it feels exactly like that. Located in a tropical forest on a private bay in Phuket’s nort...

FOUR SEASONS JIMBARAN BAY (link) (instagram)
Location: Jimbaran, South Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali 80361, Indonesia
Year built: 1994
Architect/ designer: Grounds Kent Architects
Ethos: Redefined modern luxury villa resort
Luxury resorts around the world follow a very similar philosophy – exclusivity, comfort, and hospitality is ingrained into most experiences, but what sets the Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay apart from everything else is the Balinese setting and effortless inclusion to the surrounding greenery. When the resort was completed in 1994, it set the standard for contemporary luxury resorts, boasting the honor of being the ...

AMANDARI (link) (instagram)
Location: Jalan Raya Kedewatan, Ubud
Year built: September 1989.
Architect: Peter Muller from Sydney, Australia
Ethos: modern Balinese village, located around terraces and the only resort located close to a temple
Bali is like an oasis for the senses – the scenery, the people, the food, and the pace, each have their own distinct, unique qualities, but together, act as a respite for the mind and body. This trip to Bali gave me focus and mental clarify by giving me the chance to completely immerse myself in nature (one of the best things about being in Ubud.) This time, I stayed at Amandari, which i...

THE CHEDI ANDERMATT (website) (instagram)
During the month of August, I had the privilege of taking a trip to Switzerland for what turned into one of the most awe-inspiring trips of the year! Without any expectations, I wasn’t sure to what to expect of my summer trip to Switzerland. We took the glacier express from Zermatt to Andermatt, and while it was still summer time, it snowed the night before we arrived. When we got to Andermatt, it was like a scene out of a postcard. Everything was beautiful and magical.
In the heart of the Alpine is the Chedi Andermatt, surrounded by mountains and valleys. It’s a beautiful property with...

JA MANAFARU (link)
I’m all about the villa life in the Maldives, so Jared and I were in for a treat when we stayed at Ja Manafaru. After a 75 minute seaplane ride from the airport to the island, we arrived to the island, which is the last resort before the end of the Maldivian waters. The island is kept as natural as possible – they don’t pump or redistribute sand, with no plans to expand the island. Friendly staff greeted us, and we were ready to explore the property. The entire island is engulfed by soft sand, and it takes about 20 mintues to walk around the entire island. Staff are relaxed and great with kids and have an in...
