RAAS Jodhpur
Built around an 18th-century haveli, right in the heart of Jodhpur’s old walled city, RAAS boasts hip interiors, the world’s first ila-only spa, and majestic views of India’s best preserved fort (Mehrangarh).
Billing itself as the only boutique hotel in Rajasthan’s famous blue city, the property impresses with its outstanding architecture, a mix of old and new buildings, intricately carved from local rose sandstone. Nevertheless, its facilities are equally striking, offering atmospheric, luxuriously appointed rooms and suites, a sleek 18-metre heated infinity pool, and two restaurants serving everything from authentic Rajasthani fare to delicious Indian, Thai, and Mediterranean specialties.

Fundu Lagoon
Only accessible by boat or plane from Zanzibar, Fundu Lagoon is a delightfully secluded, privately-owned resort on Pemba Island, Tanzania.
It consists of 18 Makuti thatched tented rooms and suites with rustic-chic interiors and divine views of the Indian Ocean. High in the hills above the hotel lies a turquoise infinity pool, where guests can relax and cool off with a drink while taking in the beautiful vista. A few steps away, the onsite Fundu Fusion Spa offers a variety of treatments inspired by the African and Asian cultures.
Food at the resort is an enchanting fusion of Arabic, Swahili, Indian, and colonial influences, with freshly-caught fish, traditional music, and lots of surprises. Additionally, there are 3 drinking venues, including a charming jetty bar.
