Kata Rocks – A Slice of Modern Luxury in Phuket

From the moment you arrive at Kata Rocks, it’s clear this isn’t just another beachfront resort—it’s a luxury experience designed for those who appreciate privacy, style, and breathtaking views.

Tucked into the hillside between Kata and Kata Noi beaches, Kata Rocks offers a perfect balance of seclusion and access. The villas are stunning—each with its own private infinity pool that overlooks the Andaman Sea. Watching the sunset from the pool, drink in hand, feels like a dream.

Our one-bedroom villa was impeccably designed—sleek, spacious, and filled with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors opened to reveal an expansive terrace and a private infinity pool with panoramic ocean views. The interiors struck a perfect balance between high-tech convenience and minimalist elegance, creating a tranquil and indulgent retreat. One of our favorite features was the automatic blinds, which opened at the push of a button to reveal the most breathtaking ocean views—a perfect way to start each morning.

We also appreciated the thoughtful practical touches, like the in-villa washing machine, provided laundry detergent, and clothes horse—super convenient for refreshing our swimwear and clothes during our stay.

When we arrived, we were greeted with the most thoughtful birthday surprises. A birthday “cake” made of towels, alongside a rich chocolate mousse dessert with edible rocks, and a handwritten birthday card. It was personal, charming, and instantly made us feel at home.

Another thoughtful touch was the resort-provided cell phone, which we kept with us during our stay. We used it to call for the buggy service, which transported us effortlessly from our villa to the main entrance near Kata Beach. The buggy was available any time of day and made getting around incredibly convenient. We also loved that the Kata area is so walkable—you can explore Kata Beach (gorgeous at sunset), local massage parlours, shops, and even a 7-Eleven, all just steps away.

Each morning began with a delicious à la carte breakfast. From tropical fruits and fresh juices to Thai-inspired dishes and perfectly brewed coffee, every detail was thoughtfully executed. The Tom Yam Eggs Benedict was a standout, packed with flavor and a unique Thai twist. I also enjoyed their house-made smoothies and the vanilla latte. One morning, when I wasn’t feeling well, a kind waitress noticed and offered to bring me some soothing ginger tea. Her gesture made all the difference.

The Restaurant impressed us throughout our stay. Breakfasts were relaxing and plentiful, and sunset cocktails by the water were a highlight of each day. For lunch one afternoon, we had the smoked salmon pizza and French fries—simple but delicious, and exactly what we wanted poolside.

The main pool is absolutely breathtaking, especially during golden hour. The loungers in the pool are unbelievably comfortable, perfect for enjoying a fresh coconut (or a cocktail!) while soaking up the views. Staff are always close by if you want to order something without ever leaving your lounger.

The spa was another highlight of our stay. Calm, sleek, and instantly soothing, the ambiance is perfect from the moment you walk in. My sister and I had an aromatherapy full-body massage in a couples’ room, and it was such a relaxing experience.

What truly elevated our experience, however, was the exceptional staff. Warm, professional, and consistently attentive, the team at Kata Rocks made every moment feel special. Whether offering local recommendations, ensuring seamless dining experiences, or simply greeting us with genuine smiles, the service was consistently world-class. A special thank you to Katie at the front desk, who looked after us throughout our stay with such care and kindness.

Kata Rocks is ideal for couples, honeymooners, or anyone looking for a serene, luxurious escape. While it’s not the place for a buzzing nightlife scene, if you’re seeking tranquility, elegance, and ocean views that are hard to beat, this resort delivers in every way.

Bambootel Sawah View – a magical place to be

In a recent visit to Bali my husband and I had the privilege of staying at this unique, tranquil resort.

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene design and attention to detail. The bamboo-crafted architecture created a harmonious connection with the surrounding lush greenery.

The room was cosy and beautifully furnished with a luxurious bed draped in airy white curtains, providing a perfect balance of comfort and style. We were pleasantly surprised with a handwritten note on the bed, a thoughtful touch that made us feel so welcomed.

Waking up to the breathtaking view of the rice fields was an unforgettable experience.

The private pool overlooking the tropical landscape was another highlight. Relaxing there with the sound of the waterfall in the background felt like being in paradise.

The food was absolutely delicious and deserves special mention. Every meal was a treat for the senses, with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and authentic flavors. The attention to detail in the presentation and the warm service elevated the dining experience even further.

Renaissance Bali Nusa Dua Resort, a next-level lifestyle experience. 

Last month my fiancé and I visited Bali for the first time and spent 3 blissful days relaxing at this modern, global award winning, five-star luxury lifestyle resort. 

We arrived in the middle of the day to a very welcome refreshment and were kindly granted the opportunity to check in a bit earlier.

We were very pleased to arrive in our beautifully decorated, very smart room which was an Executive Suite on the ground level with direct access to a vast infinity lap pool, we also had the end unit which provided a bit of extra privacy. 

The room was spacious with a work station, couch and table and a large walk-in dressing room. The bathroom was impressive too, with a large round bath that I indulged in every night; the shower was separate and the toilet, which was fully automated. 

The mini bar station was well set  up and the coffee machine with pods was easy to operate with plenty of fresh milk provided.  We also received a very delicious chocolate and coconut welcome treat which thankfully I tasted before my fiancé swiftly tucked in 🙂

I was exhausted and finally taking a short break from some work deadlines and commitments, so for me comfort (and sleep) was key. Although the pillows were perfect for my other half, I requested a firmer option and for the first time in months I had the best night’s sleep without waking until morning. 

On our first night we dined at the Chinese restaurant, Lion X. We were starving and not familiar with the menu, so started with a soup followed by Peking Duck with rice; while enjoying that we noticed a rather interesting dish being served at another table. We enquired and ordered the “Flying Noodles”. It was quite a spectacular presentation and totally delicious too. 

Breakfast was served buffet style in the modern contemporary restaurant “Backstage”, it has an arty laid back atmosphere and we were very impressed with the many choices provided on display. On arrival we were offered coffee which was served at our table, one could also order items from the waiters if necessary. Although I was tempted by the diverse array of traditional Balinese cuisine on offer, I had to eat it with my eyes only because my Western trained palate always drew me to the chefs preparing eggs to order.

I enjoyed an omelette with mushrooms and spinach, grilled tomato, sausage and bacon. There was a vast selection of fruits, smoothies and yoghurts as well as cold meats, salad and every type of bread and pastry you can think of, even desserts! I wished I had a second stomach and right now just thinking about all that deliciousness is making my mouth water!

From the resort there are convenient complimentary hourly shuttles to the beach via a popular shopping area “Bali Collection”, where one can find souvenirs and Balinese as well as international fashion. We found these were very helpful to enable us to explore in the brief time we were there. 

On our last night, after returning on the shuttle from a late afternoon of exploration and shopping, we decided to indulge in the option of relaxing in the room with room-service. The menu was full of variety and in my opinion, truly had something for everyone. We had vegetable spring rolls and Vietnamese rolls to start, followed by Nasi Goreng and Bebek Goreng, the portions were substantial, very good value and everything was a taste sensation that although I am sorry that I forgot to capture this divine food with images, I will always hope to enjoy those dishes again. 

My fiancé, being on a mission to achieve 14,000 steps a day, in-between swimming laps in the infinity pool and walking all over the resort and even to the beach a couple of times, was extremely happy to enjoy some time each day in the very well-equipped gym. I went to visit the spa on our last day before our departure and while there he eagerly showed me around the gym, which is well laid out with the latest modern equipment; he even showed me that I could have a complimentary juice or smoothie, which was available from the fridge in the gym 🙂

Our first visit to Bali was merely a taste tease, and certainly a gem on the plate was the brief yet blissful time spent at Renaissance Bali Nusa Dua Resort. 

We loved every bit of our stay and hope to return to experience more of the resort with its incredible dining venues and bars, and to explore more of Bali, next time it would need to be seven days, at least!

The Stratford Hotel is conveniently situated close to Stratford International Station, making it easy to reach central London and other areas. Another highlight is that the hotel is within short walking distance of Westfield Stratford City, which is my favourite shopping mall.

The check-in experience was efficient and pleasant. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to assist with any questions. They also upgraded us to a bigger room which was highly appreciated.

The floor-to-ceiling windows provided views of the city skyline and brought in plenty of natural light. The bathroom was stylish and featured a rainfall shower and luxury amenities.

The hotel offers a fully equipped gym with a variety of machines and ample open space for personal workouts.

Breakfast was served in the lobby restaurant and was buffet style. Additionally, there was a menu of hot and cold dishes that the chef could prepare fresh upon request. Every morning, I tried something different from the menu, I enjoyed the Shakshuka dish the most. The blueberry pancakes were also delicious.

Whether you’re in London for business or leisure, this hotel provides a chic, comfortable, and memorable stay. The friendly staff, modern design, and range of amenities make it a place I would highly recommend and would gladly return to for future visits.

The Waldorf Hilton, London

An iconic hotel situated in the heart of the theatre district of London

My stay at The Waldorf Hilton, London was truly an elegant and memorable experience. This iconic hotel perfectly blends historic charm with modern luxury and is a great choice for those who want to experience the vibrancy of London.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of most of the renowned theatres and best of all, it’s close to Covent Garden, my favorite spot for shopping and dining.

The check-in process was smooth, with friendly staff who welcomed me with a glass of prosecco, making me feel instantly at home. I arrived at the hotel in the morning, so my room was not yet ready, but the staff provided me with access to their executive lounge, which offered complimentary drinks, snacks, and free Wi-Fi.

The room was spacious, featuring a king-sized bed, a workstation, and a view overlooking the street and nearby historic buildings. The bathroom had a double vanity, a comfortable shower as well as luxury amenities. I had one of the best nights of sleep in this bed; the pillows were incredibly soft.

The hotel has a fully equipped gym, an executive lounge, and their elegant ballroom which is ideal for events. The “Palm Court” ballroom has been featured in famous films like Titanic and Rocketman.

I had a delicious dinner at the hotel’s Homage Restaurant, which offered a modern, eclectic menu. The décor in the restaurant is classic and contemporary and has a romantic ambience.

I had the pumpkin tart as a starter, which was surprisingly light and fluffy. I had the chicken breast for main course, and it was the softest chicken I have ever eaten. Saving the best for last, I ordered two desserts – firstly the chocolate dome, and the star of the show, their Honey Cake with crunchy honeycomb as well as fresh honeycomb which melts in your mouth. 10/10 dessert.

After dinner, I headed to Good Godfrey’s Bar and Lounge for a drink. It is a beautifully decorated luxury bar with talented barmen and a variety of creative cocktails. I told the barman I like passionfruit, so he made me a passionfruit martini, and it was divine. The perfect way to end my night.

For breakfast it was a buffet also served in their Homage Restaurant and featured freshly baked pastries, cereals, and healthy options as well as a menu to order hot meals and drinks. I ordered avocado toast and a cappuccino, which was just what I needed to start my day. The waiters were attentive and welcoming.

Overall, The Waldorf Hilton, London captures luxury, heritage, and comfort in one. It is the perfect choice for a sophisticated city stay. I look forward to returning for another visit.

Hilton London Heathrow Airport

Modern Luxury Hotel located near Heathrow Airport

I stayed at Hilton London Heathrow Airport for one night as part of a business trip to London. The hotel is exceptionally convenient for travelers due to its direct access to Terminal 4 via a covered walkway, making it ideal for those with early flights or layovers.

The check-in process was smooth and quick, which was a relief after a long journey. The receptionist was professional and welcoming, and provided all the necessary information about the facilities and amenities.

The room was modern, clean, and well-designed, with comfortable bedding and a good range of amenities, including a coffee machine, mini fridge, and workspace. I particularly appreciated the blackout curtains, which made it easy to rest, and the spacious bathroom with a big shower.

The hotel offers a fitness center, which was a nice addition. Though I didn’t have time to use it, the gym appeared clean and well-equipped. The hotel has an executive lounge, available to Hilton Honors members, which is ideal if you have a later flight but need to check out, then you can relax in the lounge until it’s time for your flight. In the evening, they have a “happy hour” where they serve complimentary snacks and drinks to guests.

On the lobby level of the hotel, they offer “The Market”, a self-service shop with all the essentials. They stock fresh food and drinks, alcohol, a coffee machine, and even souvenirs from London.

The breakfast buffet was extensive, with a good range of hot and cold options, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. They also had a made-to-order eggs station as well as fresh pancakes with chocolate sauce.

OXBO Restaurant is available throughout the day as the main dining venue. They also have a lovely bar at the restaurant.

The hotel has its own Chef’s Garden where herbs, vegetables and fruits are grown and used in the OXBO Restaurant.

For dinner, I opted for room service as it was late at night, and I was exhausted from traveling. I ordered through their online app and the food arrived fresh and warm. I had the cheeseburger and chips, and I must say it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. 10/10 room service experience.

Overall, the Hilton London Heathrow Airport offers a very convenient, comfortable, and surprisingly luxurious experience for travelers. It’s an ideal choice if you need a stress-free stay near the airport without compromising on comfort. I’d recommend it for business and leisure travelers alike and would certainly stay here again.

Viceroy Bali – An Opulent Jungle Paradise Awaits You

A Personal Review by Joanna Macdonald – Events Manager

Nestled in the heart of Bali, in the jungle strewn Ubud, surrounded by striking green rice fields, lays a wonderous, lush and luxurious family-owned hotel, the Viceroy Bali.

The first thing you notice when walking into reception is the calmness. Everything about this place, the mannerism of the staff included, just whispers “time to unwind”.

Often when one thinks of their dream vacation, they think of island luxuries, beaches adorned with thatch roofs, perhaps a cabin on a snowy mountain or in a dark and far out forest. But the jungle, oh the mighty lungs of our earth, they breathe for you in Ubud! And suddenly, everything just seems a little easier.

When shown to our rooms, one word sprung to mind; “majestic” – ok, actually also “wow”! The Deluxe Terrace Villas we were accommodated in were not only like a room in a palace, but the backdrop of the jungle reaching down into the river gorge, behind your private pool, simply makes one gasp.

The rooms and bathrooms are lavishly large, and the high ceilings create a real feeling of spaciousness. The bed in and of itself speaks mounds for the feeling of royalty one has- I barely filled an eighth.  The open plan bathroom is absolutely gorgeous, the tub being the highlight, located behind vanity curtains overlooking the splendid view of the jungle outside. 

My day started each morning by having a glorious morning swim in my private infinity pool, followed with some yoga and meditation in my traditional outdoor balé seating area. Breakfast every day is served in the most beautiful setting. You take steppingstones over water to get into the CasCades restaurant and a Balinese fountain trickles softly in the background as you dine looking over the dramatic jungle backdrop.

Throughout the hotel and its grounds are statues, carvings and paintings that elegantly display that beautiful Balinese charm that everyone so desires when visiting this beautiful part of the world.

I was treated to a tour of the grounds with Surya, and got to meet the passionate gardener, Wayan, of the organic food garden that feeds the restaurants at Viceroy Bali. So much love is put into this garden. It not only serves the restaurants, but also provides a way for their team to develop their own farming skills which can be used at home and taught to their families. 

On this tour, I was granted a visit to their renowned Elephant Villa – their signature one bedroom villa. Beautifully carved rockery outside leads you into a paradise of jungle views with the sound of the rumbling river below in the ravine.

I had a 60-minute Balinese massage at Akoya Spa. It was a truly luxurious and relaxing experience and definitely the right way to end my trip.

Although I will write more on this in a separate review for the World Luxury Restaurant Awards, the absolute highlight of my entire trip to Bali in fact, was dinner at Apéritif. Without doubt the most interesting and delightful culinary journey I have ever had the privilege of experiencing anywhere in the world, in my life. This comes out top of my list as a “must do” if ever you are in Ubud. The food was not made, it was designed, it was engineering, it was chemistry, it was art, it was magic. The entire experience was phenomenal, the staff being not only so knowledgeable about what they serve, but passionate. Every bite of that dinner was memorable. Chef Nic Vanderbeeken and his entire team have created a symphony for the senses, from design and décor to ambience and service.

It is a place of peace, tranquility, and self-reflection. It is truly a heaven on earth.

Hidden Hills Villas – A True Hidden Gem, in the Heart of Uluwatu

A Personal Review by Joanna Macdonald – Events Manager

In December of 2017, I met Max Loong, Owner and Founder of Hidden Hills Villas, at our Hotel Awards event in St. Moritz. On this night, he invited me for a stay if ever I am “in the area”, to see what they do and how they do it. I never knew that this invitation would extend to 7 years later, or that I would ever, actually, even make it to Bali!

I am glad he is a man of his word…

In April 2024 while conducting a site inspection at our gala ceremony host property, Max held true on his word and we were afforded a 3-night stay, in what I call “the paradise-on-earth villa” – the Seychelles Villa!

It’s one thing to say Bali is hot, until you actually experience it with 100% humidity! On arrival, there were cold towels, face spritzers and cocktails being served at their Hidden Gem Restaurant which overlooks Uluwatu from the top of the hill, down to the seemingly never-ending horizon of blue. Max was there to personally greet us, give us some information on Bali, advice on where and more importantly, where NOT to eat and update us via a brief tour on the upgrades and renovations to the property.

I’ve always said, “the true heart of a hotel, and what makes your stay memorable, is the hospitality of the staff that surround you.”, and that echoes truth at Hidden Hills Villas. The small things counted more than even the absolute blissful and luxurious setting we found ourselves in. Arriving in 34 degree weather with 100% humidity, the first thing I noticed when taken to our villa was the swimming pool filled with floaties and loungers, even one to hold your drinks – that tells me personally, friends are coming! Let’s make this memorable!

To speak about service excellence and not reference Hidden Hillas Villas for the rest of my life would not make sense… every single member of their team has a warm, charming and most hospitable way of helping you with anything that you need. From the start of the reservation until the moment we left, we felt like we were at a home away from home. We wanted and waited for nothing, and all this while sitting in the lap of luxury in one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.  

Speaking of which, Hidden Hills Villas – being so centrally located, is a stone’s-throw from the bustling and beautiful nightlife that the famous Uluwatu boasts. It takes no time to take a transfer down to “the strip” where more than enough options of shops, clubs, pubs, restaurants and bars are available to choose from, for whatever you may be feeling for the night. Uluwatu Beach, Bingin Beach and Padang Padang Beach are also within a 10-minute drive and the shopping options are vibrant!

The World Luxury Hotel Awards would like to thank every member of staff for everything you offered in smiles, kindness and hospitality during our stay with you.

We would also like to give a very special mention and thank you to Tara for all your wonderful planning assistance and opportunities granted for us to experience Bali and Uluwatu in all her glory. The sites and visits you recommended will not be forgotten. Also, to Putu, the resident driver and tour guide while there, for your beautiful hospitality and time taken to explain everything Balinese to us as we spent, sometimes, hours in the car with you. You never made us feel like all our questions were too much.  

Max, you and your family have built something magical and full of heart, a haven that one just does not often find in their lives.

The only part about Hidden Hills Villas that I would not recommend, is leaving!
