If you’re tired of seeing the same roll-call of retreats come up again and again when you’re researching your next much-needed break, this list is for you.
These owners have each taken a highly discerning approach to where their unique properties are listed – and we’re proud to be one of the (extremely) small handful of directories they’ve chosen. From storybook-themed sanctuaries and private islands to lovingly handmade hideaways, this is a carefully-curated selection to make you gasp in awe.
You’ll even find that some of these amazing retreats are listed with us exclusively. This makes them particularly ideal for holidaymakers who like to stray from the beaten holiday track in more ways than one.
(Just imagine how smug you’ll feel when displaying your holiday snaps online, to a chorus of envious “ooh… where did you find that?”-style comments!)
In a world that’s flooded with chain hotels and standard holiday lets, we love and appreciate being able to showcase so many extraordinary places to stay. But there’s an extra frisson of excitement that comes with unearthing a lesser-spotted holiday gem, and we hope this list delivers more than a few of those!
