The Collections

Shown by how a resort is lived, not where it is.

Each record sits on one shelf, and appears across as many editorial series and filters as it earns. The shelves are entrances, not a scientific taxonomy.

• Original Six Senses6The first generation — Yao Noi, Ninh Van Bay, Laamu, Zighy Bay — where the villa replaced the room and the resort replaced the hotel.
• Asian & Indian Ocean Original5Soneva, Huvafen Fushi and the houses that set the private-resort idea before the brands arrived.
• Asian Private Resort76Villa resorts of Southeast and South Asia with land enough to be a world: Amanpuri, Trisara, Nihi, Mandapa.
• Mediterranean Private46The same product in the Mediterranean: Casadelmar, Monte-Carlo Beach, Hôtel du Couvent, the three houses of Costa Smeralda.
• Island & Coastal Hideaway120Coastal and island estates of the Indian Ocean, the Pacific and the Caribbean — held whole, outside Asia and the Mediterranean.
• Americas Estate24Estates of the American mainland — Mexico, the United States, Central and South America. Caribbean islands are recorded on Island & Coastal Hideaway.
• Country, Mountain, Lake & Desert Retreat97Estates inland: wine country, Himalaya, lakes, canyons and deserts — where the land is the resort.
• Urban Sanctuary4A deliberately small shelf: walled gardens inside cities that behave like estates. Never more than a handful.
