FUERTEVENTURA
Tucked behind the famous Fuerteventura sand dunes,
this five-star, luxury retreat attracts its fair share of
A-listers, from royalty to pop stars – and no wonder.
Most of the hotel’s 242 rooms have sea views over to
the peaks of Isla de Lobos, a protected nature reserve,
while tropical gardens, complete with huge swimming
pools and swathes of virgin beach surround its domed
building. Perfect for honeymooners, the grand suites
(pictured) are lavish and drenched with oodles of
natural light.
For total indulgence, in-house Spa Bahía Vital has
treatment rooms and poolside massage tables offering
physiotherapy, osteopathy and various types of
massage, from Thai to Hawaiian
lomi lomi.

Hartwell House
LONDON
How often can one retire to a grand drawing room after dinner
to enjoy a glass of port as a butler waits on hand? That’s the
appeal of this 17th-century stately home: you can moonlight
as a member of the aristocracy with free run of the library, spa
and landscaped gardens. King Louis XVIII of France actually
set up his court here in 1809 while in exile and the sprawling
suite he stayed in is the crown jewel of the 52 rooms, with
four-poster beds and many antiques fit for royalty. Located
46km from London, it makes for a glorious day out – even if
you just pop in for afternoon tea.
