An alien vision in an ancient landscape and more transcendent arrivals

Our latest hotels are out of this world… [View in browser]( [Image](   [HOTELS]( [INSPIRATION]( [OFFERS]( Like all the best hotels, this month's arrivals are acutely aware of their surroundings. Long before building began, the people behind them had pored over that relationship and wondered how to render it in bricks and mortar. But how about a hotel that deals with our very existence on earth, seen through the eyes of an alien visitor? Now you’re really talking. That’s the story behind one visionary newcomer in Mexico, a hotel that seems ancient and futuristic at the same time. And we've plenty more brain-teasers and sense-stokers besides… [SEE WHAT'S NEW](   TERRESTRE, OAXACA Gazing at this hotel in the midst of the Oaxacan jungle, you may wonder not only where you are, but when. Such feelings make a lot of sense once you know that architect Alberto Kalach began designing Terrestre by imagining what our architecture and life on earth might look like to aliens. His sculptured structure merges pre-Hispanic and brutalist design elements to create something at once earthly and otherworldly. Add in the fact that it's powered by the sun and cooled by the wind and you have a hotel that's downright elemental. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( HOTEL AGUAS CLARAS, COSTA RICA Run by an art-collecting mother and daughter, Hotel Aguas Claras sits on fringed beach in Costa Rica’s Limón Province. Nearby village Puerto Viejo was settled by Jamaican immigrants in the 19th century and remains a bastion of Caribbean cooking and reggae beats. The hotel borrows from that heritage and dials up the laid-back lifestyle to the maximum. Hang out in hammocks by the sea, sip tropical concoctions at poolside bar Papaya and see in nights around a bonfire at the beach club. [VIEW HOTEL](   THE REFORM CLUB, HAMPTONS If the Hamptons is the spiritual home of lawn-turfed leisure, the Reform Club can be considered one of its most loyal disciples. The house, cottages and meticulously manicured gardens are just off the Montauk Highway in Amagansett. More like a private residence than a hotel, this club-like community has staff that’ll whisk you to the beach with chairs and parasols, arrange private chefs to cook in your kitchen and send you on sailing trips on Long Island’s Atlantic waters. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( THE NEWBURY BOSTON You’d be hard pressed to find a better placed Boston hotel than the Newbury. It borders America’s oldest park, Boston Public Garden, on one side and brownstone-lined Newbury Street on the other. In keeping with such well-heeled company, the classically Bostonian building has suites that echo the city’s finest residences, a wood-panelled library filled with lofty tomes, a speakeasy-style bar and a glass-encased restaurant that looks out across this historic city. [VIEW HOTEL](   WHITE COAST POOL SUITES, MILOS Santorini tends to get most of the Cycladic sunset attention but if you’re looking for an alternative, they’re pretty spectacular on Milos, too. Book a west-facing suite at White Coast and you’ll be primely positioned for sundowners – with your own private pool, no less. There’s a sandy path leading straight to Mytakas Beach and you’re also close to Sarakiniko, where the volcanic rocks are often compared to the surface of the moon. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( CAPELONGUE, LUBERON This Provençal belle stands amid the beauty pageant that is the Luberon park. Five minutes from the pretty hilltop village Bonnieux, Capelongue overlooks the Mon Vaucluse mountains and the ‘Giant of Provence’, Mont Ventoux. The hotel and grounds are on a rustic charm offensive, with interiors of wooden beams, stone walls and sprays of flowers forming a united front with gardens fuzzed with lavender, cypress and olive trees.
