Palm Heights

Inside Palm Heights, the A-List’s New Favourite Winter Escape | Vogue

"Close to midnight on New Year's Eve, after a lobster and caviar dinner, the theme tune from The White Lotus erupted from the speakers, sending happy chills down everyone's spines because it so perfectly embodied the fantasy we'd been living in for two weeks. This 52 all-suite boutique hotel on the pristine white sand of Seven Mile Beach feels more White Lotus than White Lotus, only without the lingering sense that something bad is about to happen - when you're there, you almost forget the outside world because nobody leaves. The holiday is the hotel, and its roster of guests (which they prefer to think of as an extended family) becomes your community; over the festive period I was alongside Bella Hadid with her boyfriend, Chloë Sevigny (who threw her hen party here last year) and her family, Emily Ratajkowski, and Paloma Elsesser, most of them returning guests. Despite the starry crowd, you won't find any of them on its Instagram grid - not even in regrams - because this place is chicer than shouting about it." - Sarah Harris
