Unique villas and luxurious suites

Unique villas and luxurious suites

      From the Mediterranean coast of Turkey to private islands in the Maldives and Scottish estates — eleven addresses where space, view, and privacy become part of the architecture itself.

      Today, the best resorts increasingly focus not only on infrastructure but also on unique living formats. In this new selection, we tell you about luxurious villas where authorial concepts of relaxation, personal spa pavilions, oceanfront residences, gastronomic experiences, and personalized service create a completely different format for travel.

      Papillon Zeugma Relaxury

      A residence where the horizon becomes part of the interior

      One of three resorts of the Papillon Hotels brand in Belek, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. The brand has been operating since 1992 and continues the concept of Adult Comfort Zone in the 2026 season — private pools, separate beach areas, and quiet corners for adult guests. The resort builds its gastronomy around the Gastro Journey format, and wellness around the spa brand Reborn SPA & Wellness with a Turkish hammam and steam rooms.

      Presidential Duplex Suite occupies the top floor and offers a panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea. Two levels, airy interiors, and restrained design set a calm rhythm: the view, light, and space here are not decoration but part of the suite's architecture.

      Papillon Ayscha

      Your private home for important moments

      Nearby, on the same coast, is a resort of the same Papillon Hotels collection, where the family concept Papy Kids World combines with private and VIP villas for those who want to relax with company but behind closed doors.

      Villa VIP villa in a pine forest In the pine forest of Belek, the Grand Family Villa is located on two floors and is designed for five bedrooms — an option for large families and vacations with several generations at once. The master bedroom with a terrace opens directly to the private pool. A double-height gallery connects the two floors: downstairs are two living rooms and a fully equipped kitchen, upstairs are four more bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. VIP check-in, a personal WhatsApp line, and 24-hour room service take care of everything else.

      Grand Park Kodhipparu

      Grand Residence: when a villa becomes a personal residence

      At the Grand Park Kodhipparu, Maldives, a new concept called Life in Residence has been introduced, which elevates the format of family and joint vacations to a new level. The focus is on the Grand Residence — the most spacious and private villa of the resort, covering 210 sq. m, located at the end of the water pier with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Two bedrooms, a spacious shared living room, and a private infinity pool allow for traveling with a large family or group of friends while maintaining a sense of complete seclusion. The journey from Malé International Airport takes just 20 minutes by boat.

      Grand Residence

      The Life in Residence concept is built around the idea of shared experiences, where the main value becomes the time spent together and the freedom to relax at one's own pace. Upon booking, guests are accompanied by a personal butler, and the program includes breakfasts at The Edge restaurant, personal yoga sessions, snorkeling on the house reef accompanied by the resort's marine biologist, a complimentary massage after the flight, and other special privileges.

      Banyan Tree Phuket

      Updated Spa Pool Villas — a new look at wellness travel

      The updated Spa Pool Villas at Banyan Tree Phuket have become one of the most unusual living concepts in Phuket. This is not just a separate category of villas, but a standalone format of relaxation within the resort, combining privacy, personal service, gastronomy, and recovery programs. Only ten villas for adults, located on the shore of a calm lagoon in the heart of Laguna Phuket, offer spacious interiors of 550 sq. m, a private pool, and a separate spa pavilion where daily treatments take place in complete seclusion.

      Spa Pool Villa

      Every detail here becomes part of a single carefully thought-out travel scenario. A personal host accompanies guests throughout their stay, daily massages are conducted right in the villa, and breakfast is served in a private setting with views of the tropical garden. The program also includes access to the Lotus Lounge, guaranteed spots at the new Rava Beach Club, an evening cruise on the lagoon on a traditional Mekhala boat, daily mindfulness and recovery practices, including yoga, meditation, and various masterclasses.

      JA Manafaru

      The largest beach residence in the Maldives

      Occupies a private island of over 14 hectares on the northernmost atoll of the Maldives. 84 villas and residences, six restaurants, and The Cellar — a two-story underground wine cellar, the first of its kind in the Maldives. In 2026, the resort received the Recommended status from Forbes Travel Guide.

      Bedroom Royal Beach Residence

      Sprawling over two levels and 5,800 sq. m of beach territory — the largest three-bedroom beach residence in the archipelago. The living room opens to a private infinity pool, and the master bedroom has a separate terrace with its own pool. A spa pavilion with a sauna and hammam and a lounge with views of the island is an option for a large family of several generations.

      JA Lake View

      Jacuzzi with a view of the golf course

      The newest building in the JA The Resort complex, marked by strong gastronomic concepts. 348 rooms and suites overlook a championship-level 9-hole golf course and pools, while the signature restaurant — Kinara by Vikas Khanna, where Indian cuisine is prepared by a Michelin-starred chef.

      Designed for large families: a bright living room with separate lounge and dining areas, a spacious terrace with a private jacuzzi overlooking the lakes and golf course. Both bedrooms have their own bathrooms and freestanding bathtubs, and access to the lounge with drinks all day.

      JA Palm Tree Court

      Panorama of Palm Jebel Ali for the whole family

      Built in colonial style on an 800-meter stretch of private beach — the longest in Dubai. 212 suites, seven restaurants, Calm Spa & Salon with 10 treatment rooms and over 40 procedures, and on the grounds — a 9-hole golf course where Tiger Woods and Ernie Els trained.

      Sea View Residence Suite

      A two-bedroom suite in the residence building overlooks the ocean and Palm Jebel Ali. Designed for eight guests: each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the living room opens to a furnished private balcony. Access to the lounge and a separate pool is additional.

      JA Ocean View

      View of the Ain Dubai Ferris wheel and the endless ocean

      Located on The Walk promenade in Jumeirah Beach Residence. All 346 rooms and suites have open balconies and sea views, some with direct views of the Ain Dubai Ferris wheel, which lights up with a light show right outside the windows in the evenings.

      Panoramic family suite

      The largest suite in the hotel — with a separate living room where children can play while parents relax in a deep bathtub. Both rooms open to a private balcony with views of Ain Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, and the ocean to the horizon. Access to the Coral Lounge adds breakfast and drinks throughout the day.

      JA Hatta Fort Hotel

      Mountain retreat two hours from Dubai

      The only mountain resort in Dubai, opened in 1981 in the Hajar Mountains. 79 rooms, cottages, and villas, plus 23 Terra Cabins styled like a camp on the edge of the earth. The hotel welcomes guests with dogs and has seven restaurants and bars, including Jeema and the cocktail bar Roumoul.

      Three Bedroom Deluxe Villa

      Hidden in a secluded part of the resort: a private jacuzzi, a shady gazebo, an outdoor barbecue area. Inside — a spacious living room with a large screen and its own kitchen: just what families and groups of friends need when seeking mountains without leaving Dubai.

      JA Mar Hall

      The legacy of a Scottish estate

      JA Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort occupies an estate of 240 acres on the banks of the Clyde River, near Glasgow, where historical architecture combines with the modern comfort of the hotel and an 18-hole golf course.

      Grand Suites

      Grand Suites at JA Mar Hall reinterpret exquisite luxury — the elegance of a private residence here merges with the warmth of a true country estate. Each suite features a four-poster bed, an exquisite lounge area, and a bathroom with luxurious finishes. Curated artworks, deep textures, and custom furniture give each space its character, while panoramic views of the river or gardens make the stay something truly personal, luxurious, and unforgettable.

      View of Bruntsfield Links in the heart of Edinburgh
