news A new style of safari
experience Set in the heart of South Africa’s Sabi Sand Game Reserve, newly opened Singita Castleton is a beautiful camp steeped in history and love. The property, formerly the private home of company founder Luke Baile’s grandfather, comprises a main house and six individual cottages which can only be booked on an exclusive basis. The property embraces the rustic charms of a country farmhouse with the best elements of a private safari lodge. Of course, the property has high-end facilities you’d expect including a wine cellar, gym and a spa treatment room.

Anantara’s eighth
wonder Anantara Hotels & Resorts have set up camp near to the magnificent ‘eighth wonder of the world’, Angkor Wat marking a significant milestone in the brands history. Now present in seven countries world-wide, Anantara Angkor Resort & Spa is its 25th luxury property to open.
A bird’s eye view reveals that the resort is shaped to resemble Angkor Wat, which is complimented at ground level where every inch of the property is a ‘sanctuary for the senses’ paying tribute to the Kher tradition and culture. Aside from unveiling the secrets of Angor Wat, guests can take yoga classes on the rooftop garden or take part in traditional Khmer cooking classes.
The making of a fantasy
Winner to Murray
Set to open in April next year, Cromlix House is a Victorian mansion set in 34 acres of Scottish highland. Recently taken over by tennis superstar Andy Murray, the property is undergoing extensive renovation, and when opened, will provide outdoor lovers with a wealth of countryside pursuits. The 15 room luxury hotel is a perfect fit for Small Luxury Hotels of the World who have revealed that the property will become part of its portfolio of boutique hotels.
Cromlix Hotel can be found in the new ‘The Debutants’ section at ILTM 2013 in Cannes.

Located in the up and coming Hong Kong neighbourhood, Wan Chai, Mira Moon is the latest addition to the Design Hotels collection. Dutch designer, Marcel Wanders was inspired by the Chinese Moon festival legend of Chang’er and the jade rabbit, which is reflected throughout the hotel.
Female guests of the hotel get particularly pampered with a dedicated floor complete with beauty items including perfumed talcum powers, curling irons and facial steamers. And for the small touches in the rooms, we particularly like the minibar selection with shake-it-yourself cocktail recipes!
