A stone’s throw from the city of Jaipur, Villa Palladio is situated on the city’s ancient Silk Routes. The contemporary concept hotel is built into a storied 1980s structure that captures the air of art, craftsmanship and creativity from eras past. From local art to traditional spa treatments, Rajasthan’s newest hot spot celebrates the craft, colour and story of the country’s rich culture and heritage.

Nestled against Kanota Lake, the hotel’s dreamy surrounds provide expansive, unmatched views bound to get you in the R&R mood. Amidst the lavish grounds, a scenic hidden garden houses an ornate pool house for switching off after a trip to the spa for a unique Tibetan treatment. And if the amenities aren’t enough, the hotel’s curated interiors truly set it apart. Awash with a vibrant, jewel-toned red, it is impossible to miss the hotel’s signature monochromatic hue. Against the ubiquitous shade, more is more – from ornate stained-glass windows and hand-painted walls to statement décor cresting every surface. An aesthetic experience not to be missed, Villa Palladio is the up-and-coming destination on every A-lister’s bucket list.

‘70s Serge Gainsbourg dreams are realised in St Tropez Épi’s ultra-cool interiors. Channeling coveted vintage vibes with natural wooden cabins, rattan furniture, and colour-blocked stained windows, the Épi redefines the retro era for a new generation of ultra-cool guests.

Set back from the bustle of the Riviera but just within reach of the French hot spot, the hotel grounds are exquisitely located but we can’t imagine you wanting to venture beyond them. Curated by Italian designer, Monica Damante, the vision is palpable with dreamy old-school prints and decades old furniture perfectly placed inside each of the white-washed cabins. Renowned for their iconic clay tennis courts and whimsical garden scenes, recline under an eggshell umbrella after a post-match dip in the pool and finish your day with a contemporary French-Californian dining experience and a glass of the finest rose.
