Richly illustrated and expertly edited, this exquisite volume—the third in The Leading Hotels of the World multi-volume series—presents a robust collection of properties tailor-made for hosting awe-inspiring adventures, transformative well-being experiences, cutting-edge spa treatments, and world-class sports facilities.

Explore features a curated selection of more than 80 hotels from LHW's 400-plus-member collection across 80 countries: Whether stargazing into faraway galaxies at Nayara Alto Atacama in the Chilean desert; mountain biking along the 30 miles of custom-designed trails at South Africa's Steyn City Hotel by Saxon; or bathing as the ancient Etruscans did at Terme di Saturnia in Tuscany, these LHW properties offer myriad opportunities to nurture mind, body, and soul.

Distinctive activities abound, such as Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanišević's tennis academy at D Maris Bay on Turkey's Datça Peninsula; Gleneagles Hotel's 850 acres of archery, falconry, golf, and more in Scotland; and the charming, Bavarian-style slopeside stay of the Sonnenalp Hotel in the Colorado ski town of Vail.
