SHINTA MANI MUSTANG
Shinta Mani Mustang
Now open and accepting guests, Shinta Mani Mustang – A Bensley Collection is a 29-suite resort offering unparalleled accommodation in a very remote location, characterized by majestic peaks and a trail of Buddhist chortens. Mustang, or Manthang in Tibetan, translates to "Plain of Aspiration," and is bordered by the magnificent Tibetan plateau.
Shinta Mani Mustang promises an all-inclusive, 360-degree luxury experience in the Nepalese Himalayas. Perched at 2,800 meters in Jomsom, Shinta Mani Mustang serves as a gateway to Upper Mustang, a once-forbidden ancient kingdom. Each suite, styled after traditional local homes, boasts panoramic Nilgiri mountain views. The interiors echo the vibrant hues of the surroundings, visible from every lodge window. Outdoor fire pits invite guests to bask in the warmth while stargazing as temperatures dip. "I have never seen such wildly dramatic landscapes as the mountains and valleys of Mustang" commented the hotel's highly acclaimed designer, the Bangkok-based American Bill Bensley.
SONEVA SECRET
Soneva Secret, Crusoe Villa
Soneva, over the years, has become synonymous with The Maldives' gilded brand of barefoot luxury. The chain was founded in the archipelagic Indian Ocean state by Sonu Shivdasani and his wife Eva Malmstrom Shivdasani (hence the name Soneva) are some of the Maldives’ most enticing properties scattered around the Atolls. Their renowned portfolio includes Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani – and now Soneva Secret is another highly anticipated addition. Located in Haa Dhaalu Atoll, the concept presents 14 villas, blending overwater and island accommodations, notably hosting the Maldives' sole floating villa – reached only by boat. Crafted to embody Soneva's unparalleled hospitality and service excellence, every villa boasts a dedicated trio – a Barefoot Guardian, a Barefoot Assistant, and a private chef. The Remote Lands team recently enjoyed a behind-the-scenes peek at Soneva Secret and we can say with confidence this is definitely one to be excited about.
JANU TOKYO

Finally, in March this year, Janu made its debut with Janu Tokyo, situated in the Azabudai Hills development in Roppongi.
