This month, I’m am excited to announce some incredible new Fora Reserve partners, from private island escapes in French Polynesia to chic urban gems in London and Milan. Read on to find your next travel obsession, then reach out to book your VIP experience.
The Brando
Just 30 miles from Tahiti, The Brando is an ultra-luxurious hideaway on the atoll of Tetiaroa, once owned by Marlon Brando. With just 36 villas — each with a plunge pool, beach access and private gardens — it’s no surprise Beyoncé and Oprah are big fans. Beyond its decadent appeal, the resort is a pioneer in sustainability, with seawater air conditioning, an organic garden and a vision for 100% self-sufficiency.

Round Hill Hotel & Villas
Round Hill Resort & Villas has been a Caribbean icon since 1953. Once a colony of cottages for the rich and famous, it’s now a beloved family-friendly resort that still captures the essence of old Jamaica, paired with modern comforts. With an oceanfront spa, an exceptional family program and rooms designed by Ralph Lauren (who also owns a property on the resort), it’s a place families return to year after year. And with dedicated staff who have been there for over three decades, every visit feels like coming home.

Each property is an ode to its surroundings, unique and deeply connected to the local culture. With just five hotels across three continents — and two more on the way in Bendor and Menorca — Zannier aims to challenge the status quo of luxury travel. The hotels offer authentic cultural experiences that nourish the body, mind and soul, focusing on simplicity, beauty and celebrating local traditions.

Whether you’re lounging by the pool, dining on Calabrian flavors at Pietramare or exploring the nearby landscapes and villages, Praia Art Resort is everything you love about Italy’s hidden gems.

The Mandrake London
The Mandrake is a cool, artsy boutique in London’s Fitzrovia, just a stone’s throw from Soho and the West End. A hotspot for Londoners, it’s known for its eclectic mix of art, performances and events. With ethnobotanical cocktails and South American-inspired dishes, the dining and drinks are as trendy as the crowd. The rooms are moody and atmospheric, featuring rich textures and original art, while the three-story interior courtyard is a contrasting escape with hanging gardens of jasmine and passionflower.

The south side buzzes with a lively beach club, shaded cabanas, a 70-foot infinity pool and seaside chaises, while the peaceful north side offers glamping tents, treehouse suites and cozy cottages for a more secluded vibe.
