We have curated a list of the best new openings all over the world. Why not indulge yourself and pick one of these destinations for your next trip. We’ve got boat excursions, safari adventures, city escapes and mountain activities and you don’t need to choose whether to kick back and relax or have an adrenaline fuelled day. These places will cover you from that and everything in between.

XIGERA SAFARI LODGE – BOTSWANA – DEC 2020

Immerse in the Okavango’s waterways

Situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta – an area known for its remarkable wildlife sightings and predator action – suites here float delicately above the water, overlooking palm-filled islands and floodplains. Spend a night in the exquisite ‘Baobab Treehouse’ for total immersion into nature.

3 nights fully inclusive of meals and activities from £12,230 for two people

RASCAL VOYAGES – INDONESIA – DEC 2020

Voyage through Raja Ampat

Rebel is making her maiden voyage this December 2020, sailing between Bali and Komodo National Park, home to one of the richest coral reefs and diverse ecosystems on the planet. Explore hidden villages, climb volcanoes, or dine on exclusive sand bars.

Exclusive use for up to 10 guests, fully inclusive of all meals and activities from £7,850 per night.

CASTELLO DI RESCHIO – ITALY – SPRING 2021

Feast like an Umbrian Count

This 10th century Umbrian estate, set in the wild countryside, has been lovingly restored by the family owners with full Italian flair. The castle is set to open next year as a stylish hotel. Explore flower meadows and ancient forests on horseback, try wild swimming in the lake, or an Italian cooking lesson.

KWESSI DUNES – NAMIBIA – MAR 2020

Float above the vast NamibRand desert

Break away from traditional game drives and instead soak up the rich colours of this landscape, craggy mountains and elusive fairy circles, with only oryx for company. Spend your days unwinding by the pool overlooking desert vistas, or exploring your surroundings on foot, quad bike or even hot air balloon.

3 nights fully inclusive of meals and activities in mid-season from £2,310 for two people.

LE COUCOU – FRANCE – REOPENING DEC 2020

Ski out of a sumptuous chalet

Our favourite new ski opening is a chic retreat in Méribel and a contemporary take on the traditional alpine chalet – think clean lines and warming terracotta-coloured walls. It’s all about the valley views, whether you’re enjoying the ski-in ski-out, steaming yourself at the sumptuous spa, or indulging at the restaurant.

A week on B&B basis with return airport transfers, ski hire & pass from £6,320 for two people.

AMAN – NEW YORK – 2021

This hotly anticipated AMAN will bring the brand’s eastern serenity to the heart of the city that never sleeps – on the corner of 5th Avenue in the iconic Crown Building which has been restored to its former splendour. Highlights include the 25,000-square-foot spa and a wraparound Garden Terrace and Bar with sweeping views of Central Park.

Pricing to be released in 2021.
