Part of the L.V.X. Collection, The Botany is set to open this winter within the 300-acre Preserve at Botany Bay on the western tip of Saint Thomas.

The intimate retreat will feature just 20 villa-style accommodations, many offering views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea.

Located along Sanur Beach in Bali, The Meru Sanur joins the L.V.X. Collection with 184 spacious suites and a strong focus on wellness, Balinese culture and contemporary design.

The resort is part of The Sanur, Indonesia’s first special economic zone dedicated to health and wellness tourism, bringing together traditional healing practices and modern medical expertise. A key feature is Taru Pramana Spa & Wellness, where treatments draw from centuries-old Balinese healing traditions.

Game drives offer opportunities to see the Big Five, while the experience extends beyond traditional safari activities with bush walks, hot air balloon rides, wildlife photography and cultural encounters with the local Maasai community. Back at camp, guests can enjoy spa treatments, gather around the fire beneath the stars or take in views across the Mara’s expansive savannah.
