After days and hours of ‘work’, how refreshing it is to recover. A certain amount of ‘me time’ is essential for sanity.

Luxury – or exclusivity, as Sybaritic Single prefers to say – almost demands an obstacle course to achieve. Think of an haute couture gown. Most women in the western world would have to undergo a zero-calorie diet to get into Dior. Think of a Mauro Colagreco meal at his Menton base.

In hotel terms, getting to EXPLORA hotels in Chile is quite taxing, as is the long drive to AMANGIRI in Utah. In Canada, prize for inaccessibility probably goes to FOGO ISLAND.
