PARADISE FOUND FOR ULTRA-LUXE FANS IN DUBAI
Dubai Creek Harbour
Dubai isn’t a place to do things by half, and over the top is de rigeur, as demonstrated by the success of the original Atlantis, the iconic property at the crown of the Palm and the iconic Burj Al Arab, the infamous “7 Star” hotel. The full-throttle approach deployed by the Emirate is present and correct at Atlantis The Royal. With 795 rooms and suites, 17 restaurants and bars, 17 high-end boutiques, a wellness space spanning 32,300 square feet, and multiple swimming pools, including one perched high on top of the sky bridge, the resort is opulence on a grand scale. Highlights are myriad and include big-name dining venues by celebrity chefs, including Nobu by the Beach, Gordon Ramsey’s Bread Street Kitchen, Hakkasan and Resonance by Heston Blumenthal.

CAMBODIA FOR WILD LOVERS
Shinta Mani Wild.
Bangkok-based American hotel designer Bill Bensley took his flamboyant aesthetic and passion for conservation into the heart of one of Cambodia’s most remote jungle areas at Shinta Mani Wild. Situated in the Cardamom National Park, the all-inclusive luxury tented camp combines adventure with sustainability and community-focused initiatives, making it perfect for adventurous honeymooners. Bensley bought the land back in 2010 with the aim of putting it to altruistic use and to give back in every way. His high-yield, low-impact camp is gaining plenty of traction. Adventures include joining armed Wildlife Alliance rangers on daily anti-poaching patrols throughout the National Park or hopping aboard an expedition boat—also designed by Bensley—to discover the waterways, flora, and fauna of this unique ecosystem. Guests can even help the chef forage for edible plants incorporated into the resort’s culinary creations.
