Four Seasons Hotel Cap Ferrat
Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat
French Riviera
Although many of the world's most expensive hotels were newly built, the Grand Hotel Cap Ferrat opened in 1908 with names on its guest roster including Winston Churchill, Mark Chagall and Elizabeth Taylor.
The Grand Hotel Cap Ferrat, a palatial mansion on the Côte d'Azur, is now a Four Seasons Hotel, perched on a Cliff facing the Mediterranean Sea, a paradise-like and exquisite seaside retreat. Located at the top of the Cap Ferrat peninsula, it is surrounded by 17 acres of lush gardens that offer panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea between Nice and Monaco.
The hotel uses cable cars to transport guests to the pool, beach club, and club Dauphin restaurant. While the standard rooms are spacious and well-equipped, what really dazzles is the suite's spacious terrace, some of which offer panoramic views from Monaco to Nice.
In May 2011, Four Seasons Hotel Cap Ferrat was awarded the title of "Palace Hotel". The hotel has 74 rooms, 24 of which are suites and a private villa with 4 bedrooms. Delicious and home-cooked cuisine is complemented by award-winning spas and some of the most beautiful swimming pools in the world.
The hotel will open this quarter in March 2022, when mid-range suites start at around $3,663 per night.

Amangiri Resort Amangiri
Utah, USA
One of America's most visually stunning hotels, Amangiri is located in a 600-acre wilderness and segregated sanctuary in Canyon Point, southern Utah, with its low silhouette and earthy tones blending in with the remote environment of the Utah desert. Nature takes center stage, both in architecture and design, as well as in the activities here (hiking is a must try). For some relaxation, head to the 25,000-square-foot spa or take a dip in the lagoon-like main pool.
In January 2022, mid-range suites start at around $4,100 per night.

Private Island Resort Kokomo Fiji
Kokomo Private Island Fiji
Kokomo Private Island is an isolated paradise on Fiji's Great Astrolabe Reef, unlike other Fijian resorts. While you can make an island-wide buyout — $65,000 per night for up to 40 guests — most visitors will choose to book only one of the 25 villas and residences at a time. But given the smaller size of the resort, it can still feel very private even if it's not all-inclusive. For couples vacations, there are romantic one-bedroom villas, while generations may prefer six-bedroom sunset homes. Whichever accommodation you choose, the price includes all meals (non-alcoholic beverages), non-motorized water sports, a 45-minute spa treatment or a diving excursion.
In January 2022, mid-range villas start at around $5500 per night.

A Maha Desert Resort, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa
Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa
Dubai
An hour's drive into the desert from Dubai's gleaming skyscrapers, you might happen to see Al Maha, a luxury hotel and spa located in the middle of the dunes, reminiscent of a Bedouin village – a very upscale village.
Guests live in 42 one- to three-bedroom tented villas, each with a private pool that provides viewing spots for antelopes, gazelles, and camels in the area. Meals are included in the room rate at Al Diwaan Restaurant, while afternoon tea and cocktails are served at Hajar Terrace Bar. Room service can also be booked or a private dune dinner can be enjoyed.
In January 2022, mid-range suites start at around $5,200 per night.

Kudadoo Private Island Resort Maldives
Kudadoo Maldives PrivateIsland by Hurawalhi
Kudadow Maldives Private Island Resort is located in Lhaviyani Atoll, a 40-minute seaplane ride from Malé International Airport. The resort's all-inclusive rate includes unlimited spa, water sports, diving excursions, and dining for guests booking one of its 15 water villas. However, there are some additional costs – especially for dining at underwater restaurants, excursions on private yachts, and private charters. But as long as you have credit card credit, Kudado will make it a reality, which is why the hotel's motto is "anytime, anywhere".
In January 2022, mid-range villas start at around $5400 per night.

One & Only Orangutan Nest
One & Only Gorilla's Nest
Rwanda
Rwanda is a country of a thousand mountains, and on the edge of the Volcanoes National Park is the exquisite one-of-a-kind One & Only Nest Hotel, where visitors can hike to see mountain gorillas perched in the forest.
Gorillas aside, it's worth a few hours' drive here from Kigali, Rwanda, as the hotel's name alone shows that it's located directly at the foot of the towering Virunga Mountains. For those who prefer excursions, there is also a helipad. On the lush, eucalyptus-lined grounds, there are only 21 separate rooms and suites, including the 4,402-square-foot silverback suite with private pool and multi-level terrace, as well as a main restaurant and bar, as well as a spa with an infinity pool overlooking the rainforest and volcano outside.
In January 2022, mid-range suites start at around $6,000 per night. Please note that while the fee includes all meals and beverages, as well as two on-site activities, it does not currently include the CURRENT $1500 per person Gorilla Trekking Permit.

Soneva Jani Maldives Soneva Jani
Living away from the hustle and bustle is often costly – especially if you're staying at Soneva Jani in the Maldives. Although the resort bills itself as a Robinson Crusoe experience, with the motto "no shoes, no news," it's definitely not a homeless place to live. There are a total of 7 room categories, including four-bedroom water villas with wine cellars and water slides, and two-bedroom villas tucked away in the mangroves. Even the entry-level one bedroom water bungalow is spectacular, with two floors measuring an impressive 424m2. While you can easily spend your entire time in your villa, venture out to one of the dozen restaurants there – including the Chocolate Room – and the wellness centre at Ayurvedic Spa and Yoga Studio.
Mid-range suites in January 2022 start at around $6130 per night, though there's an all-inclusive option if you want to spend a little more.
