In the cover story of the new Spring edition of Luxury Travel magazine, we take you across six continents with our pick of some of the best luxury hotels, resorts, camps and lodges with 10 rooms or less. Whether it's five staff members per guest, private villas designed to their billionaire founders' tastes, or the feeling of being a guest in a home rather than a hotel, each of these properties offers an exceptional level of personalisation and a strong sense of place.
