Hotels to Cross Off Your Bucket List

“Guests also enjoy Krug Champagne refreshed daily, deluxe toiletries, a commercial grade kitchen with private chef and a chauffeured Land Rover at their disposal.”
The other hotels included in the list were:
- The Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara – “the first luxury pool villa resort in southern Oman”
- Rancho Valencia Resort & SpaRancho Valencia Resort & Spa in San Diego – “southern California’s only Relais & Châteaux property”
