Bluestone Estate – Matakana, New Zealand

A Hamptons-inspired haven, just an hour from Auckland, Bluestone Estate offers one alluring entertainers paradise. Crisp white interiors flow seamlessly to sun-drenched terraces, an infinity pool glistens against rolling hills, and a pétanque court invites leisurely afternoons with a glass of something chilled. Matakana’s wineries, beaches, and artisan trails are a stones throw - but with a set-up this good, staying in might be the ultimate luxury.

Elms Villa Two – Queenstown, New Zealand

A sleek, sophisticated sanctuary of stone and glass perched at the water’s edge of Lake Hayes, where mountain peaks reflect in the glossy blue. Inside, rich textures, earthy tones, and panoramic views provide an elevated yet homey feel. A private cinema, a hot tub under the stars (hello, bliss), and Queenstown’s finest wines at your fingertips - yes, it’s all this and more.

Clifftops at Andersons Cove – Northland, New Zealand

African Safari romance meets coastal New Zealand at Clifftops. Perched above Bream Bay, this gorgeous tented lodge is a love letter to slow living. Days drift between beach wanders, outdoor bathtubs, cedar hot tubs, and lounging on sun-drenched decks overlooking the Pacific. Time is measured in ocean tides, golden sunsets, and the pop of a perfectly chilled Champagne cork - simply dreamy.

Capella Lodge – Lord Howe Island, Australia

Set high above Lovers Bay, Capella Lodge retreat offers private plunge pools, open-air lounges, and uninterrupted views of the reef-fringed island. Here, days melt into tropical bliss—where seafood is caught mere hours before it lands on your plate, and cocktails taste better with sand between your toes.

qualia – Great Barrier Reef, Australia

On the northern tip of Hamilton Island, surrounded by the expanse of the Great Barrier Reef, lies qualia - a serene sanctuary of understated luxury. Sixty private pavilions, infinity-edge pools, and Coral Sea views make this retreat one of Australia’s most sought-after stays. A private beach, world-class spa, and bespoke excursions to explore the surrounding natural playground await, but equally, lounging with a cocktail as the sun dips into the horizon? That might just be what the doctor ordered.

Kokomo Private Island – Fiji

Exotic, exclusive, and drop-dead sexy.
