Fasano São Paulo Itaim

Sao Paulo

From $640 per person/night

Itaim Bibi pulses with a particular kind of energy – all late-night restaurants, designer boutiques, and a dining scene that takes itself just seriously enough. This is where São Paulo comes to eat exceptionally well, and it's fitting that a family who've been feeding the city since 1902 should plant their flag here. Vittorio Fasano arrived from Milan at the turn of the last century, and five generations later, the name still carries considerable weight. Architect Marcio Kogan of Studio MK27 has created something unmistakably Brazilian modernist – clean lines, natural materials, and that enviable ability to feel simultaneously polished and utterly relaxed. The 20-storey tower on Rua Pedroso Alvarenga nods to Italian heritage whilst feeling resolutely contemporary, a building that seems entirely at home in a neighbourhood where tradition and innovation have always made easy bedfellows.

Kariega Main Lodge

Kariega Game Reserve, Eastern Cape

Popular |
21 Rooms
|
From $490 per person/night
A Large bush lodge with diverse activities on a private Eastern Cape reserve
Family-owned Kariega Game Reserve occupies 9,000 hectares of the beautiful Eastern Cape. The reserve includes a variety of habitats, from pristine thickets to reclaimed farmlands, and is bordered by two scenic rivers - the Kariega to the East and the Bushman's to the West. It is split into two separately fenced areas by a public road: the eastern side is home to a good variety of antelope, while the west has elephants and lions. Although it's marketed as a Big Five reserve, in reality there are no leopards here, and it lacks the 'wildness' of some of South Africa's larger, more natural reserves. Nonetheless, it provides an opportunity for convenient and easy game viewing, within close proximity of the famed Garden Route. There are five lodges on the reserve, Main Lodge being the largest and the lowest cost option. It occupies a lovely hilltop position and has good facilities including a gym and spa.
