“Ireland’s cliffs are some of the most dramatic in Europe, and Cliff House Hotel makes full use of that. The building steps down the cliff face in layers, so almost every room looks directly out to sea. There’s also a Michelin-starred restaurant inside — but honestly, the architecture alone is worth the trip.”

“The Resort is in the mountains outside Chiang Mai is the latter. The architecture works with the cliff edge — clean lines, natural materials, a spatial logic that makes sense only because of exactly where it sits. The placement isn't a backdrop. It's the whole point.From the moment you arrive, the design shapes how you move through the space, how you feel the altitude, how you settle in.”

“A charming residence in the historic village of Maiori, where traditional Amalfi architecture meets a relaxed seaside setting. Arched openings, warm colours and balconies reflect the character of the surrounding coast.”

“Perched above the Mediterranean in Mallorca, Hotel ROC Illetas is shaped by its rocky coastal setting. Terraces, whitewashed architecture and expansive sea views create a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere.”

“Built into the dramatic Amalfi coastline, this former tuna-processing site has been transformed into a characterful seaside hotel. Terraces, arches and Mediterranean details follow the contours of the cliffs and open towards the Tyrrhenian Sea.”

“Perched above the Mediterranean coast, Residence Panoramic makes its spectacular surroundings the main feature. Simple architecture, generous terraces and expansive views create an intimate stay immersed in the landscape.”
