Ultimate relaxation: the best luxury resorts worldwide

Ultimate relaxation is something we all want, but are not always able to do. A different environment (read: a place without an overflowing laundry basket and a floor full of crumbs) and a dose of vitamin D work wonders. In an ideal world, we would pack our bags now and let everything fall out of our hands. Easier said than done, so dreaming about this list of the best luxury resorts worldwide is a good alternative.

And don't let it stop at daydreaming, because let's go with that banana!

 

Hillside Beach Club, Turkey

Hillside Beach Club, Turkey

Hillside Beach Club Fethiye in Turkey is located in one of the most beautiful bays we have ever seen. This resort has everything you could wish for and more. There is a wonderful spa, the restaurants are top notch, the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly and the house wines (which are included in the price) are really good. What is also good to know is that they even have a babysitting service so that you and your foliage can dine extensively while the children are snoring and a babysitter keeps an eye on things

Seazeitlodge, Germany

Seazeitlodge, Germany

You can also get away from it all in luxury closer to home. And if you do, you do it right, of course. The German Seezeitlodge Hotel & Spa in Saarland knows exactly what you need. The resort is situated on a wooded peninsula directly on Lake Bostal, surrounded by the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park, and it looks stunning. The heart of the hotel is the 5.000 m² Seezeit Spa. Seezeitlodge is a family business, and you can taste it – literally. They have their own bakery where fresh bread comes out of the oven daily. The breakfast buffet is endless, and restaurant LUMI works with seasonal products, regional ingredients, and herbs that the Celts already knew.

And then there is Seezeit re.connect: a new concept designed to help you unwind completely. Based on four experiential worlds—activating, building strength, releasing energy, and mentally strengthening—which run like a common thread through your stay. From breathwork and cold training to individual analyses and sleep coaching. There is no mandatory program; just pick as you go. And, hopefully, it will stay with you when you get home. Because that is actually the most beautiful thing about this place: you leave a different person than when you arrived.
