1. Mala Mala/Rattray Reserves, South Africa visit website The original and in my opinion best self sustaining game reserve in Africa. These properties which sit sideby side and are run by Michael Rattray, offer the pinnacle in British/African service. Two game drives per day, private guides, and remarkable dinners in the BOMA. For an authentic African experience stay at Mala Mala which is decorated in traditional African/game hunter motifs. For a more modern experience featuring sunken plunge pools and high speed internet access, try Rattray’s. Both are a favorite among celebs and international business dignitaries.2. Al Moudira, Luxor, Egypt visit website The only boutique property in Luxor and the only hotel located on the West Bank. The service is World-Class and Madame Zina, the hotels proprietor, has created the quintissential Ottoman/Serien experience. I truly love the dinners and the hotel’s famed Kakabe Hibiscus drinks.3. El Tamarindo Beach & Golf Resort, Mexico visit website This is the perfect hotel. I love staying in the private hacienda complete with floor to ceiling rollaway doors, private pools, palapas and crystal clear views of the Pacific. Don’t miss the romantic poolside and ocean-side dinners. Celeb factor is also quite high.4. Grand Hotel Tritone Praiano, Amalfi Coast, Italy visit website Dramatic cliff-side hotel in the tiny town of Praiano. Cut into the cliff, rooms are enormous and look out over the Adriatic Sea. You actually take an elevator through the cliff to get to the rocky beach, it’s expensive but well worth the price.5. The American Colony Hotel, Jerusalem view website Definitely Jerusalem’s sexiest hotel! Rich in history and lore, the property is popular with American and Arab businessmen who have breakfast poolside and take their high-end barbeques and Arab cuisine on the lawn. Service is impeccable and it’s only a 5-minute walk to the Damascus gate leading to old Jerusalem.6. Stanley and Livingstone Lodge at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe view website Anytime is teatime at this world-class resort. Decorated in British Colonial style, the entire property is located behind a compound overlooking a private game reserve. Over coffee I watched elephant, zebra, and impala drink from the trough, completely ignoring my presence. What more could you ask for form an African experience.7. The Tides, South Beach - Florida visit website Recent makeover and high style in America’s hottest city. Rooms are bright airy, modern and sits right on a popular stretch of Ocean Drive.8. La Samanna, St. Martin, Caribbean visit website The only place I stay in St. Martin. Get a sexy sense of privacy as well as the island’s best beach. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel so good, you never want to leave.9. Amandari Hotel, Bali, Indonesia visit website The perfect, sensual hotel. It really strokes your senses. Bali is beautiful, both physically and spiritually and the Amandari truly captures the essence of this mystical island.10. The Keating Hotel, San Diego visit website The place is like a race car, and it’s no wonder why, it was designed by The Pininfarina Family, the creative force behind the Ferrari.
