Million Air Winter 2022

Glenapp Castle, The Endeavour Castle Penthouse Apartment AYRSHIRE, SCOTLAND Built by celebrated architect David Bryce, Glenapp Castle is one of the original examples of Scottish Baronial design. Many period features have survived restorations, helping it to retain its original charm, no more so than in the Penthouse. Spread over 4,500 sq ft, the four-bedroom suite enjoys its own fl oor and a private elevator — a rare feature in buildings of this age. In fact, despite its rural location, the Penthouse has several amenities you would usually only fi nd in a top city hotel including a media room, private sauna, treatment room, 16-seat dining room and a game room. The stay also comes with the services of a private chef with a stocked kitchen and a butler. From $4,000 per night.

L’Apogée Courchevel, The Penthouse COURCHEVEL, FRANCE With ski seasons starting later and fi nishing earlier than even 10 years ago, it pays to make the absolute most of the time you have. Sitting at one of the glamorous village’s highest points, L’Apogée Courchevel saves guests’ valuable time with all-important ski in/ski out access. Its high position means spectacular, snow-covered valley views are on o ff er throughout, even from the ground fl oor. But they are truly something else from The Penthouse. Better yet, you can absorb unobstructed views from the suite’s terrace hot tub — one of the most enviable spots in all of Courchevel. Interiors retain the quintessential chalet feel with wooden detail and cozy blankets across the four bedrooms. The main bedroom comes complete with a Jacuzzi, sauna and steam bath for added downtime once the kids are in bed. From $12,045 per night.

Cliveden House, Spring Cottage BERKSHIRE, UK Sitting on 375 acres of gardens and woodland, Cliveden House was the perfect place for the Astors to host their hedonistic parties in utmost privacy throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Today, it o ff ers guests something far more peaceful, although just as decadent. The Spring Cottage sits away from the main building on the banks of the River Thames. Although it’s over 200 years old, its stylish furnishings and state-of-the-art appliances make it very much a modern home. With three bedrooms, a kitchen and two sitting rooms, it’s perfect for families who value privacy above all else. It was good enough for Queen Victoria, who used to enjoy afternoon tea with the Duchess of Sutherland. The hotel o ff ers an equally regal a ff air in the form of a hamper fi lled with champagne and treats. Arriving by boat? The cottage also has its very own private mooring space. From $2,401 per night. Contact Amy Tomkins, VIP and loyalty manager, amy@iconicluxuryhotels.com, +44 162 860 7107, clivedenhouse.co.uk

The Datai Langkawi, The Datai Estate Villa LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA

The Datai Langkawi achieves the near-impossible by o ff ering both an immersive natural experience and ease of access. The hotel, which sits in the middle of a 10 million-year-old rain forest, is just 40 minutes away from the nearest international airport. Guests will share their vacation with a host of exotic animals, and the resort goes to great lengths to leave them undisturbed. With The Datai Estate Villa, you will not be disturbed either — at least not by other guests. At 37,673 sq ft, it is one of the largest accommodations of its type in Asia. It has more than enough room for large families and spaces that can be adapted into children’s playrooms ahead of your arrival. With a private chef and two pools, guests never need to leave. But be sure to take a guided walk through the virgin rain forest with the resort’s resident naturalist to spot the many fascinating creatures that call this place home. From $12,00 per night.
