Full of Character and Joy: Independently Owned Gems

With a dizzying variety of properties, the choice of where to spend your precious time can be somewhat overwhelming; stepping away from the tried and true hotel brands, we have curated six of our favourite independent (and innovative!) concept spaces, whose strong emphasis of quality over quantity, and creative freedom is exciting to be a part of. Usually what you’ll find at these properties are one-of-a-kind interiors with handcrafted furniture, carefully curated experiences and privacy at its best. Most likely you’ll meet and hear from the founders and guardians of these homes, whose personal stories and connection will enrich your memory of the place itself. Everyone loves uncovering a golden secret, so make a point of getting here soon to see their distinctive style for yourself!

Herdade da Malhadinha Nova, Albernoa, Portugal

Time seems to stand still here, and with its open views and rustic setting, this intimate hideaway in the Alentejo countryside is perfect for those seeking much needed R&R. Stroll vineyards and stomp grapes, go horseback riding, soak in a Turkish bath after numerous spa treatments and wander through their lush gardens. Their villas and country houses are inspired by wine, art and slow living, with sustainability at the heart of everything they create.

Sterrekopje Healing Farm, Franschhoek, South Africa

Tucked away in the quiet of Franschhoek’s mountains, find yourself at a soulful sanctuary, a home-coming where openness and self-discovery is largely encouraged. Aesthetically stunning and wholly authentic, the late-17th century farmstead has been reinvented by two Dutch dreamers – Nicole and Fleur – which now boasts a hammam, Mongolian yurt, chakra garden, apothecary and atelier to spark your imagination, not to mention the plethora of animals who make this place picture-perfect.

Cap Koroso, Sumba Island, Indonesia

Sumba holds major appeal for travellers seeking a more remote Indonesian isle untainted by tourism, whose natural lagoons, wild horses and rolling hills beckon more adventurous nomads. At this ‘luxe launchpad’ with sleek design, wabi-sabi inspired decorations, a beach club and larger villas to accommodate friends, this is a place of plenty that highlights Sumbanese heritage through arts and crafts, storytelling, and shamanic rituals at the Spa. Taste the organic farm’s bounty, learn more about permaculture and green roofs, and revel in their immersive feasts.

La Fiermontina Ocean, Larache, Morocco

At this eco-retreat, Moroccan ocean dunes weave their magic along the windswept Larache coast in the remote northwest. Arriving by rural track, the heritage is clearly defined by the charming nearby villages, as is the abundant Nature and magnetic energy which vibrates throughout the property. Stay in elegant pool suites or atmospheric traditional village houses, whose interiors will hypnotise and impress with their beauty. Folklore experiences are a must, especially the centuries-old ‘Ritual of Wealth / Gnaoua’ dance and horse show with berber knights in procession.

Palazzo Avino, Ravello, Italy

On the famed Amalfi Coast, the exceptional viewpoint of Ravello’s medieval hilltop village is reason enough to base yourself here. A stunning palazzo originally built in the 12th century, it has been restored to splendor our with rooms and expansive suites fitted in soothing shades and retro touches. Soak in the infinity hydro pool and solarium on the rooftop, lounge in vibrant pink cabanas, or pop down to the Clubhouse by the Sea in Marmorata just 15 minutes away. The Chef’s Table for 4 is a must, as is the Sommelier’s Table for 2 in an elevated cave hidden from view. We promise you’ll be wowed by every aspect of this stay.

Barracuda Hotel & Villas, Itacaré, Brazil

Proclaimed as ‘Bahian hospitality with a Scandinavian accent,’ live the Barracuda Way on Itacaré’s Cocoa Coast, which champions the pleasure of living by the sea while respecting and connecting to local culture. Inspired by this privileged land, the ‘tribe’ of hoteliers, surfers and friends have built a rare refuge promoting barefoot luxury with an intuitive touch, in the hopes of transforming you for the better. You can be as relaxed or energetic as you please; dive off waterfalls and surf the best waves, or practise yoga and float through the mangroves
