Escape, embrace,

Select Managing Director: Tony Balch
Welcome to Select Hotels & Resorts
International. As true specialists in boutique
accommodation throughout the Asia-Pacific
region, we invite you to celebrate the best of
our region’s rich travel experiences.
With over 40 beautiful hotels and resorts
across seven Asia-Pacific countries, Select is
not a hotel chain, but rather a gathering of the
finest independent hospitality concepts in this
exceptional region. Each property is unique,
exclusive and authentic, reflecting both its
local culture and environment. Quality in
service, cuisine, location and activities –
indeed, all of these in concert – is the
baseline of what each hotel or resort offers.
However, what makes each of these properties
truly “select” is that it is intimate, exclusive
and about people. Here you will find warmth
and welcome, not just facilities.
To be invited into membership of the Select
collection, each hotel or resort must have
impeccable standards in hospitality and
thereafter must scrupulously maintain them.
Select is operated by a dedicated and
passionate team and supported by a highly
experienced Advisory Board of hoteliers who
together ensure the growth and maintenance
of a quality Select portfolio.
A Pacific island hideaway, a city retreat,
country lodge or wilderness resort – wherever
you dream of quality space, quality time,
Select knows the place for you. Booking is
easy through our one-stop, worldwide,
on-line reservations and enquiries system
at www.selecthotels.com or via email or
telephone to Select Reservations or through
your travel agent.
Our simple desire at Select Hotels
& Resorts International is that your journey
with us will be so memorable that when you
plan to travel again you will automatically
think “Select”.
Escape, embrace, experience. Welcome to
our world of difference, to your Select hotel
or resort.
Yours sincerely,
Tony Balch
Managing Director

NORFOLK Island pines frame your
beach house. Visitors to Kims Beach
Hideaway often remark that being here is like
stepping into another world. The reality is an
exclusive and enchanting seaside hideaway
on the Central Coast, only 90 minutes’ drive
north from Sydney.
Family-owned and operated, Kims has been
here since 1886 on the sweep of golden sand
that is Toowoon Bay. There are 34 modern air
conditioned bungalows – each architecturally
designed with their own private sundeck –
where the interiors are rich with red cedar
timbers, Persian rugs, granite and marble tiles
in the luxurious bathrooms. Meanwhile, at
your door is a world of whipbird-song and a
lush hillside jungle of palms, hibiscus and
century-old pines. Privacy and tranquility are
constants, whether you are enjoying the view
from your own spa pool deck, private
swimming pool or absorbed in a good book
beside the open fire in Kims’ lounge.
Guests return time and again not only for
these butalso Kims’ legendary table. Competing
for kudos with the architecture and ambience
come breakfast, lunch and dinner – the chef-
prepared, cornucopian buffets are irresistible.
The extensive wine list is regularly updated to
provide the very best from Australia and
overseas. Later in the evening, just beyond
your balcony is the moonlight sonata of the sea.

Coronet Peak in winter, the thrilling Shotover
River and cosmopolitan Queenstown offer a
heady cocktail of adrenalin sports and nightlife.

FIORDLAND: the name conjures
thoughts of peaceful Sounds, cradled in the
weathered hands of soaring mountains. Millions
of years in the making, Fiordland World
Heritage area is at the very heart of a New
Zealand South Island wilderness experience.
Hosts Ron and Robynne Peacock created
Fiordland Lodge as a luxurious reinterpretation
of nature. Their aim was to create a lodge
experience that showcases nature and at the
same time tames its rugged beauty for the
discerning traveller.
Nature’s lexicon is expressed in the design
of the Lodge. Glass captures the panoramic
view and in turn reflects the waters of Lake Te
Anau; stone walls grow from the Fiordland soil
as if placed by nature and the extensive use of
local timbers lends texture and authenticity.
Guests can choose from en-suite lodge
accommodation or two-bedroom log cabins –
ideal for families or small groups. At the
heart, the Great Hall is an inspirational space
to indulge in the Lodge’s dining experience.
Te Anau is the gateway to Milford and
Doubtful Sounds and the Fiordland National
Park. For Robynne, Fiordland was her
childhood backyard and Ron, once a National
Park ranger for 25 years, is now the Lodge’s
fishing guide. Together their passion and
experience inspire guests to consider guided
walking, fishing and bird watching tours to
touch the soul of this natural wonder.Forging a

PICTURE yourself relaxing in one of
Asia’s loveliest beachfront spa resorts. Your
day at the fine new Veranda Resort and Spa
on Hua Hin’s Cha Am beach might begin with
a front-row view of sunrise across the Gulf of
Thailand. Or you might just sleep in before
wandering down from your pool villa or
deluxe room to see what the day promises?
A fine breakfast, of course, followed perhaps
by a swim, sailboarding, horse-riding or doing
almost nothing at all. A signature spa treatment
is a “must-do” for today if not tomorrow.
Veranda Resort, nestled in lush gardens,
offers a luxury collection of 13 pool villa
suites and 84 spacious rooms. A checklist of
its superlatives includes the infinity pool,
svelte contemporary design, all day brasserie-
style dining, a top kid’s club and a ruinously
good spa. The big questions of the day could
come down to which spa treatment to try?
And how to dine – Western or Thai, starlit
alfresco or moon-shaded?
Spacious balconies, plunge pools, wireless
internet, indolent daybeds and sea views to
infinity; or perhaps an excursion to nearby
Hua Hin town. These are among the many
options at the lovely Veranda. As for the
obligations? There are very few. We suggest a
good book, another massage, a sundowner –
and let the world go jump.

THE elusive pleasures of traditional Thai
calm and elegance are often advertised and
rarely found. Cordoned off from the crowds of
Phuket is an exception, a true sanctuary of
Thai style: Mom Tri’s Villa Royale. This is a
haven for travellers tired of look-alike hotels
and who want a genuine cultural experience.
The Villa’s name echoes its royal heritage.

Mom Tri, a renowned Thai architect and
artist. Mom Tri has retained that exclusive
atmosphere of a privileged island of serenity
set between Phuket’s two best beaches – Kata
Noi and Kata Yai. Ready to swim?
Skip the crowds and stroll down a private

glamour that originally made Phuket famous.
Every exquisite detail of furnishing, food,
service and atmosphere at Mom Tri’s is a
testament to its heritage of comfort and pleasure.
The wine cellar has won Wine Spectator
magazine’s Award of Excellence for four years.

PASSIONATE, romantic and secluded, a
handful of traditional bungalows are strung like
pearls along the edge of a coral atoll. This is
Manihi Pearl Beach Resort, a tiny treasure
luxuriating in the tropical waters of French
Polynesia.
As you arise to greet the day, harmonious
schools of fish draw swathes of brilliant colour
around your overwater bungalow. Slip directly
into the warm waters for a swim before relaxing
on your private sundeck, drawing nourishment
from the early morning sun.
If this sounds impossibly poetic, it truly is.
Manihi is one of those rare indulgences that will
leave you marvelling at the thoughtfulness of
the world’s creators.
Days are filled with sublime nothing or heightened
adventure. Dive these exceptional waters in search
of schools of gentle manta rays, or ply them in an
outrigger canoe. Better still, opt for the famed Motu
picnic on your own deserted islet and luxuriate with
the company you bring. If you prefer, simply
wander the beach by the resort, allowing silken sand
to slip between your toes, before plunging into the
infinity pool.
Under an impossibly blue sky, the turquoise waters
deliver up a bounty of delicacies for guests’ dining
pleasure. And if all you dream of is to dine privately
by candlelight as the sun sinks below a blushing
horizon, this too is a pleasure awaiting.

THE pink-sand island of Tikehau is a
Polynesian idyll offering elegant informality.
From a palm-fringed coral isle, walkways
extend across the water like the gentle arms of
a starfish, ushering guests toward overwater
bungalows and suites.
Tikehau is Robinson Crusoe with a luxurious
twist. Whilst the overwater suites are amongst
the finest in Polynesia, the resort has a
delightfully laid-back feel. If the past year has
been harried and you seek to luxe out without
feeling the need to be overactive, Tikehau is
the place.
Gathered within the azure embrace of a coral
-crested lagoon, literally millions of fish play
to the delight of a handful of lucky guests.
Indeed, legendary French naturalist Jacques
Cousteau’s research group declared that the
lagoon at Tikehau has the highest concentration
of fish in all the Tuamotu atolls.
Relaxed activities include petanqué, a picnic on
the Isle of Birds or simply recline under a wide
blue sky and read a book. Inevitably guests find
themselves surrendering to traditional Polynesian
treatments at the beachfront Manea Spa, one of
the most romantic spa experiences imaginable.
And if you’d like to visit a traditional Polynesian
village, a wander through Tuherahera offers a
genuine encounter.
