Flight of fancy
Eagles Nest, a secluded estate of ultra-luxurious villas on New Zealand's North Island, has just opened its latest lodge, Rahimoana. New Zealand architect Simon Carnahan was commissioned to design the four-bedroom villa, made of flamed and polished granite, copper and steel. The house has two spectacular pools and overlooks the Bay of Islands. For more information visit www.eaglesnest.co.nz
Ancient and modern
With its interesting blend of traditional Chinese houses and the decaying charm of its ochre-hued colonial architecture, Hoi An, a Unesco World Heritage site, has always been a necessary stopover when travelling down the coast of Vietnam.
With the arrival of new resorts in the area, the ancient trading port will soon have other attractions. The first to arrive is the Nam Hai - the newest property from the chic GHM hotel group - made up of 100 sleek, elegant villas sprinkled along a kilometre stretch of the pristine China Beach, just minutes away from the town.
Packages include the Nam Hai Luxury Experience, which combines a stay in one of the resort's villas with spa treatments. From US$850 for a one-bedroom villa. Call 84 510 940 000, or visit www.thenamhai.com.
