Oceano Patagonia \ Argentina

Just steps away from the pristine beaches, the 11 contemporary, rustic-chic suites are strategically placed so that each terrace becomes a front row seat to the awe-inspiring migration of pods of southern right whales for 6 months of the year. When the whales aren’t breaching and raising their young in the bay, Ocean Patagonia's views transition to family beach time and water sports adventure. The Peninsula Valdés reserve is also home to other world-famous marine life including orcas, southern elephant seals, southern sea lions, dolphins and magellanic penguins. Like a home away from home, the suites offer a fully-equipped kitchenette and fresh baked bread every morning to enjoy on your deck with your coffee, if you can pull yourself away from their top-of-the-line beds with premium linens.

Ursulino Valletta \ Malta

Set on a quiet, cobble-stoned street facing the monastery of St Ursula, Ursulino sits gracefully among Valletta’s beautiful Baroque buildings. Formerly a 20th century family townhouse, it began a new lease of life as one of Valletta’s loveliest boutique hotels in 2015 and has retained its original art nouveau charm. An eclectic art collection focusing on Valletta’s city-scapes in all styles and colors decorates the walls of the communal areas, while the seven contemporary rooms feature pops of bright colors and Maltese-style tiled floors; sleek bathrooms are equipped with Molton Brown amenities.
Among this boutique bolthole’s special features is its rooftop terrace with 360 degree views of Valletta’s skyline, including Fort St Elmo and the Grand Harbor. On balmy, sunny days - and there are many in Malta - you can enjoy a continental breakfast up here (we loved the Sicilian sweets).
