Top 12 Interconnecting rooms

Design throughout is clean and contemporary – the spacious suites are furnished in the warm, muted tones of the African savannah interspersed with splashes of bright colour and feature private balconies or terraces. This urban resort offers an exquisite selection of luxury accommodation – choose to stay in the Marina Rise with its harbour or mountain views or experience the exclusive island with its own pool area and private balconies. 

Comprising of nine inter-leading luxury rooms, each room has air conditioning, an en-suite bathroom with separate shower and bathtub, satellite TV and minibar. Outside in the carefully tended grounds there’s a swimming pool with a shallow area for children.

Kit Kemp had one saying in mind when she designed this hotel; ‘Wow, I’ve arrived’. And while there isn’t a room across all 16 floors that isn’t worthy of this exclamation, The Whitby Suite is the one that gets our loudest gasp. Spanning the entire top floor with a front and back spacious terrace (almost as large as the living room itself) it offers two sweeping views of the skyline that are so rare to find, it’s bound to take a moment to sink in. Step back inside and find a two-bedroom, two bathroom, living room suite; dressed with the finest customised artistry of Chesterfield sofas, silver roll top baths, and headboards embroidered by dress designers with beading so sweet we could almost eat them.

35 rooms; 80 suites; 14 villas. In a destination where image is everything, this wholesome wonderland welcomes back its loyal guests, young and old, each year. Within this tree-sheltered haven, it’s down by the pool that makes for a central meeting hub for families. Where parents and grandparents tell of their day spent cooking with a local Spanish family, and children gush about their time making pizzas and mixing fragrances from the ingredients they tended in their own garden patch.

197 rooms and suites; 6 pool villas, luxurious eco-friendly architecture amid olive trees and orange groves and surrounded by charming villages and ancient Greek and Roman ruins. Reclining on 570 acres of beachfront miles away from the overpopulated suntraps, Rocco Forte’s first venture into building its own hotels is a crowd-pleasing, private affair.

Modern Alpine style accommodation is accompanied by exceptional views to the spectacular Dents du Midi, the spacious rooms and suites boasting extra large bathrooms, balconies and up-to-the-minute technology.
