Step back in time in the Thai jungle

Luxury in Laos

Rosewood Luang Prabang, Laos

Bill was recently asked what destination inspires him and his answer was Luang Prabang, as it has the most beautiful village in the world. Just ten minutes from the city centre, Rosewood Luang Prabang offers a peaceful retreat on the edge of the forest and mountains. With 23 rooms, a swimming pool, a dining venue, and Sense, a Rosewood Spa offering traditional Lao therapies, the resort perfectly balances the excitement of the town with serene natural beauty.

A nod to Phuket’s heritage

The Slate, Phuket

One of Bensley’s first hotel designs, The Slate is a striking fusion of industrial design and luxury. With its bold aesthetic inspired by Phuket’s tin mining history, the resort features raw materials and dramatic interiors. Spacious suites and villas, many with private pools, seamlessly blend comfort with the avant-garde design he is so well known for.
