A hand-picked collection of places to stay: Authentic, Small-scale, One of a kind!
Oh là là… Christian Louboutin’s gorgeous hotel has a new addition to its collection. Two spectacular hidden villas that reflect Christian’s eclectic, treasure-filled aesthetic, offering a comfortable and privately luxurious retreat for four or six guests. Surrounded by nature, with their own garden, terrace and pool, these are the perfect places to unwind with loved ones in the beautiful Alentejo. The coast is just a stone’s throw away, and a personal concierge ensures that nothing is left to chance, so all you have to do is enjoy.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Palma de Mallorca’s capital, yet just a short stroll from the buzzing city centre, this elegant and wonderfully homely Hideaway is one to savour. With just 13 comfortable rooms and spacious apartments (the latter ideal for longer stays or travelling with a family), it never feels busy or anonymous. A true ‘home away from home’ for the modern traveller.
This Hideaway is a true retreat. Away from the crowds, it’s a place where you can truly unwind. It’s lovely during the quieter months, when the island is still quietly waking from its winter slumber – the time of year I visit. But it’s also the perfect escape when the island is inundated with visitors in the summer. The food is delicious, the service is excellent and the surroundings are enchanting.
Just an hour from Málaga, I discovered a hidden gem in Andalusia: a lovingly restored townhouse in a white mountain village. Here, craftsmanship, authenticity and comfort come together, and life naturally slows down. A place with a soul, where you don’t just stay, but truly become part of the village. A true Local Hideaway.
