The Nature of Place
The collection
Before a journey becomes a hotel booking, it begins with a reason to set out.
A pride of lions in South Africa. Giant pandas in China. Red-crowned cranes in Japan. Manta rays gliding over a Maldivian reef. An exceptional beach, a scattered archipelago, an animal migration, or a season that can be experienced in only one particular place on earth.
The Nature of Place is a curated collection of original films devoted to the natural character of destinations — the wildlife, birds, marine life, beaches, islands, deserts and landscapes that make a place unlike any other.
Every place in our collection has been visited, assessed and filmed in person by our specialists. We never use stock footage. What you see is the destination as it actually is — a living environment, not an advertising image.
Our films show not only what there is to see, but also where, when and how to experience it. Find the animal, the beach, the island or the natural phenomenon that draws you. Choose the destination and the right season. Then find the hotels, resorts, private residences and specialist journeys that bring you closest to that experience.
For the right journey is not chosen by its accommodation alone. It is chosen by what makes it worth crossing half the world.
