This charming country holiday retreat in the south of France is the perfect spot for some R&R. Accommodation is spread out across nine spacious gîtes, including two plush glamping lodges, which are nestled in just shy of five acres of picturesque land.

This idyllic complex comes complete with its own saline water pool, plus a smaller heated pool for young children. If you’re seeking a destination for family fun, the extensive grounds are also home to swings, trampolines, a play barn and a 26-foot-long wooden pirate ship – enough to keep the kids entertained for days!

The living spaces ooze traditional charm, from the original stone walls and rustic timber beams to the cosy wood-burning stove – the perfect spot for a nightcap. All of the gîtes benefit from far-reaching rural views too, so you can soak up the breathtaking scenery in perfect isolation.

If you fancy a night under the stars, the quirky safari-style glamping lodges offer luxury slumber spots with a touch of whimsy. With no less than 23 bedrooms on offer, this country retreat represents a fantastic post-pandemic business opportunity too. On the market for $982,000 (£737k) with French-Property.com, the complex is situated 25 minutes from the historic town of Cahors and within driving distance of Brive, Toulouse and Bergerac airports.

If it’s an isolated tropical paradise you’re after, look no further than this island gem in southern Belize, just eight miles east of Dangriga. Lush, emerald forest gives way to a white-sand beach on this three-acre pristine private island resort. Listed for $1.9 million (£1.4m) with 7th Heaven Properties, sun-kissed retreats don't get much better than this.

Currently operated as a private commercial escape for holidaymakers, this spectacular island has all the essentials to make it the ultimate tropical getaway. Home to five cabanas, a bar and restaurant, dive shop, yoga deck and boating dock, there's no shortage of spots to kick back and soak up the sea views.

The bright and breezy restaurant enjoys enviable ocean vistas, with a dining area encompassing 834 square feet. The island is home to several natural bays which could easily be transformed into additional white-sand beaches – the ideal launching pads for diving and snorkelling excursions.

Each of the five private cabanas offers 440 square feet of cool, calm living space. Vaulted ceilings and rich wood flooring infuse each of the residences with a laid-back, island vibe. Outside, the shady veranda provides a cool spot to laze in a hammock and gaze out across endless turquoise waters.

Just one mile from the Belize Barrier Reef and its kaleidoscope of colourful corals and sea creatures, this stunning island resort is a diving enthusiast's dream. Easy to get to by boat, Royal Palm Island on Little Frenchman Caye is less than nine miles from Belize City and is currently listed with Vladi Private Islands for $4.5 million (£3.4m).

Fancy waking up to the ocean on your doorstep? The resort is home to five beachfront cottages, just a stone’s throw from the glittering waters of the Caribbean Sea. Each of the residences comprises two air-conditioned bedrooms and a private wooden cabana out front. 

The island offers the perfect blend of private spots for relaxation and larger social spaces for dining and entertaining. Complete with a hammock, swaying palm trees and jaw-dropping ocean views, we think this secluded veranda would be the perfect place for a chilled breakfast or brunch.

In addition to the private cabanas, there's also an ornate owners’ residence where the whole family can spread out. Should you ever decide to open the island up and run it as a luxurious resort, there’s also a large restaurant and bar area, conference facilities, an Indian spa and a marina. The marina comes with four boats, which are included in the purchase.

On the market from $6 million (£4.5m) with Lionard Luxury Real Estate, this private resort estate in Italy's idyllic Piedmont region radiates opulence. Spread across an area of almost 50 acres, the luxurious property enjoys panoramic views across the rolling hills of Monferrato – a prestigious wine region. The property encompasses a stunning main villa, plus a collection of additional high-end accommodation and plenty of plush amenities.

Located in one of the world's most beautiful countries, the estate currently operates as a luxury resort – which means there’s plenty of potential for commercial success in the future. The outdoor swimming pool is bordered by a gorgeous sun terrace, with private changing rooms located nearby. Other outdoor facilities include an alfresco bar, car park and private parkland.

A stroll through the estate, which underwent a full renovation several years ago, reveals magnificent landscaping and enchanting architecture. The main villa includes several function rooms that can accommodate events, meetings and weddings in the future. Across the entire property there are 24 bedrooms in total, including six opulent suites with exclusive access to the swimming pool via private terraces.

Complete with arched floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the surrounding hills, the elegant restaurant is situated in the main hotel. The perfect place to dine in style, it's connected to two large basement rooms, which could make great entertaining spaces or the ideal spot for storing a vast collection of vino.

Also on the market with Lionard Luxury Real Estate for $8.9 million (£6.7m), this prestigious resort and wellness centre is bursting with alpine charm. Built in an Art Nouveau style, this resplendent retreat is nestled amid the hills of Bergamo within easy driving distance of Milan.

Spread across an area of almost 42,000 square feet, the property offers a grand total of 45 guestrooms. The resort itself is set within almost two and a half acres of landscaped grounds, which are home to centuries-old trees, an array of beautiful planted areas and majestic mountain views. There’s also a natural bio-lake, which is rich in healing minerals such as potassium and magnesium.

After a dip in the swimming pool, you can put your feet up and relax in the complex's luxurious spa, solarium and thermal baths. As well as a state-of-the-art fitness centre, the property is also home to a large hall for hosting events and celebrations.

Beyond the wellness facilities, there's plenty to marvel at too. From grand coffered ceilings to intricate decorative plasterwork, the interiors are a stunning showcase of high-end Italian style. Traditional wall panelling and beautiful wood floors are also present throughout, adding regal charm to this upscale mountain resort.

Feast your eyes on the gorgeous natural treasures of Young Island, which is located at the northern end of the Grenadine chain of islands, south of St Vincent. From its glorious white-sand beach to the 12.6 acres of idyllic tropical landscapes, this spectacular isle is a dreamy spot to reconnect with nature and kick back in peaceful isolation.

As if the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea weren’t enough, Young Island also has a selection of exclusive facilities, including a large swimming pool, which is part of the property's luxury hotel. Other amenities include 29 private guest cottages, a spa, tennis court, coconut ocean bar and two dining areas.

Listed with Private Islands Inc for $10 million (£7.5m), all of the island's cottages enjoy outstanding sea views, as well as access to their own outdoor showers and picturesque sun terraces. Some of the residences even come complete with private plunge pools – perfect for a cooling mid-morning dip. 

Currently, the resort's buildings occupy 2.5 acres of the 12.6-acre property, which means there’s plenty of space for development if you wanted to expand the resort in the future. Direct flights to St Vincent from Toronto, New York and Miami mean Young Island is easily accessible too and could stand to turn a pretty profit if the resort was run commerically further down the line, however, we'd be tempted to keep this tropical gem all to ourselves.

Whether or not you have the cash to splash on this opulent resort in the US state of Georgia, a little holiday daydreaming never hurts. Situated just off Sea Island in Georgia’s Golden Isles, Little Hawkins Island lies within the tranquil Marshes of Glynn. This sprawling private retreat is accessed via your own gated 110-foot concrete bridge.

The lavish resort is designed as an entire waterside village, comprising a luxurious main residence, two guest cottages and a clubhouse. The club encompasses an outdoor pool and spa, plus a reception room, bar, gym and changing rooms. Ornate Spanish colonial architecture with columns and fountains imparts plenty of wow-factor to this plush getaway.

Yours for $17.8 million (£13.2m) via Private Islands Inc, the main resident's elegant interiors don’t disappoint either. Solid mahogany doors, Spanish terracotta tiles and striking stone fireplaces are just a few of the highlights. You’ll also find Turkish hand-woven rugs and an abundance of spectacular antique furniture inside. It’s worth bearing in mind that the property is offered fully-furnished, so you can move right in.

The new owner of this amazing American island can retain the services of the current management company, who will take care of everything from maintenance to landscaping and security. They can even arrange a butler and chef, so you'll barely have to lift a finger. Now that's what we call holidaying in the lap of luxury!
