Soneva Fushi, Maldives

At Soneva Fushi, you can choose from three different types of accommodation. Water Reserves are one- or two-bedroom villas with a freshwater pool and a waterslide that sends you straight into the ocean. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the 9225-square-foot two-bedroom villa overlook the crystal blue waters of Baa Atoll. All this luxury will cost you $12,300 per night during the high season (December to April).

Keep an eye out for Soneva's newest resort, Soneva Secret 2024, which opens in January.

Shinta Mani Mustang, Nepal

This resort, whose CEO Sherpa Hospitality ensures that you get a truly unforgettable experience, has stunning views of the Nilgiri mountain range. The resort is furnished with authentic wooden furniture and decorated with authentic handmade Tibetan carpets and designer duvets. In keeping with the adage that "if you have to ask, you can't afford it," Shinta Mani Mustang does not list prices on its website - you need to ask about travel dates, number of guests, and desired experiences to determine the cost.

Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, USA

New York City doesn't often come to mind when you think of a resort vacation. There are no palm-lined beaches here, and the atmosphere is not relaxing at all. However, there are many luxury hotels in the city, including the recently opened Fifth Avenue Hotel. This exclusive property is reminiscent of the golden age with modern amenities. For a two-bedroom suite, you will pay 5095 USD plus taxes, which can increase by almost 20%.

Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, French Riviera

The Grande Dame of the French Riviera, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, always remains stylish and impeccably maintained. Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc will not disappoint you, whether you are inspired by the gourmet restaurants, the magnificent Riviera views, the luxurious spa or the outdoor activities. Room availability and rates are not available on the website, so please contact the hotel for more information.

Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

If you're looking for seclusion, the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal should top your list. You enter the resort through a private tunnel, and your stay gives you access to the only private beach in Mexico. Cool off in your private pool if the beach isn't to your taste. Choose a room, suite, house, villa, or private home. Be prepared to pay an average of $3,395 per night for a three-bedroom private home or $7797 per night for a presidential beachfront suite.
