Residences to Boot

Do you love the services, facilities, and perks of five-star resort stays? And yet, do you also value privacy, space, and the freedom to holiday in your own style? If you answered yes – or your curiosity was piqued – we have good news for you!

Many of the world’s most luxurious hotel and resort brands have been busy over the last decade or so launching branded residences, appealing to discerning travellers like you who seek a home and hotel in one.

While residences aren’t a new concept, they’ve certainly expanded both in availability and popularity in the last two years (another positive upshot of the COVID-era, where isolation was not only desirable but necessary), making it easier for you to live that holiday life any time you want.

From European cities to the plains of Africa, below are some of the branded residences we’re loving… and can’t wait to book you and your family into!

Each hideaway is staffed with a full team dedicated to all aspects of your bespoke trip.

Staff that would usually cost extra, like private chefs, butlers, housekeepers, and bartenders are all included at ÀNI Private Resorts, as are services that normally carry an extra fee even at all-inclusive resorts, including tennis lessons, spa treatments, childcare, and locally inspired activities.
