Precious New Hideaway Offers through SLH
Small Luxury Hotels brings several new hotels to the fold, two in particular are offering reasons to take notice.
Yemaya Island Hideaway & Spa in Little Corn Island, Nicaragua, is a celebration of all that is local on the northern curve of this tiny island. The 16 eco-chic ocean suites are spacious, complete with decks overlooking the sea, dark wooden-floors, a fresh white palette and hot stone-walled showers with locally made coconut-oil bath products. The casual open-air restaurant is heavy on freshly-caught fish and freshly-picked produce from the resort’s garden. Spa treatments take their cue from the natural beauty of the island and feature clay-mud therapies, chocolate and honey masks, and banana sea salt scrubs. Guests can take yoga classes bordering the jungle or on a wooden pavilion overlooking the sea, or outside of the hotel, visit the uninhabited Pearl Keys for snorkeling and picnicking on this unspoiled place of peace.
Yemaya recently launched a chocolate-making class where guests can learn how to turn local organic raw cacao beans into delicious truffles. (Available on request for $30 pp).
Rates: $300 per night
Tower Suites Reykjavik in Reykjavik, Iceland recently opened in June on the 20th floor of one of Reykjavik’s only high-rise towers.

Known to Bermudians and world travelers as ”The Pink Palace,” Hamilton Princess & Beach Club opened its doors on January 1, 1885.

More than a century later, a comprehensive restoration program has ensured that the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club remains a Grande Dam among hotels. It is the oldest member of the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts family and is the Official Host Hotel for the 35th America’s Cup with an appropriate location overlooking the stunning blue waters of Bermuda’s Hamilton Harbor.
