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!
Àni Private Resorts
Welcome to ÀNI Private Resorts, the world’s first collection of private resorts with four high end, all-inclusive private resorts in desirable pockets of Sri Lanka, Thailand, Anguilla, and the Dominican Republic.
ÀNI Private Resorts represent a new level of luxury, and a type of travel never seen before. The brand’s philosophy is to provide guests with the facilities, staff, and service of five-star resorts, within the consummately private setting of elegant estates.
The finely curated ÀNI Private Resorts experience is the height of group holidays. Exclusively yours to share with your closest friends and family, the four understated yet exceptional resorts are perfect for milestone celebrations, weddings, multi-generation getaways and corporate retreats. Each hideaway is staffed with a full team dedicated to all aspects of your bespoke trip.
Catering to groups of eight to 30 people who want to experience a luxury resort setting in complete seclusion, ÀNI Private Resorts’ properties grant guests access to amenities rarely found, such as waterslides, tennis courts, separate spas and fitness centres, multiple pools and dining areas, and private pavilions for anything from sunrise yoga to weddings.
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.
