Auberge Resorts and Hotels describe themselves as the world’s most inspiring collection of luxury hotels spanning 3 continents. They operate boutique-sized luxury hotels and resorts around the world. Auberge Resorts has hotels across North America, South America, the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, and Europe. We review the best Auberge Resorts in the world.
There is no such thing as a cheap Auberge hotel. They are all outstanding, individual, unique, and have a price tag to match. We love European Auberge Resort in Santorini, Greece.
In the USA, locations include Hawaii, Napa Valley, Colorado, Utah, and New England. There are also some fabulous Auberge resorts in Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America. It is possible to pick the best resorts as each one has its own fantastic merits, but we have picked 10 of our favorites below.
1. Mauna Lani
One of Hawaii’s best luxury boutique hotels is situated on the dramatic Kohala Coast. Mauna Lani’s secluded beaches, coral reefs, and ancient fishponds set the stage for transformative experiences. Gather with friends and family at the Hālau, the open-air village center that serves as the vibrant heart of the resort.
Come here to plan island adventures, meet friends after a gym workout, and experience the spa, shops, and fresh culinary delights. Continue onto the Great Lawn—an expansive grassy playground with palm-fringed swimming pools, the HāLani restaurant, and Hā Bar. Wander down to the Surf Shack, which anchors the Great Lawn to an expansive white sand beach. After exploring the storied coastline, make new memories with dinner at the celebrated CanoeHouse.

3. Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection
Esperanza, an Auberge Resort & Spa, is an outstanding choice in Los Cabos.

Many of Esperanza’s casitas and suites offer 180° views of the Sea Of Cortez and are perfect for couples and honeymooners. Infinity edge hot tubs can be found on the terrace, and interiors transform into dramatic indoor/outdoor living spaces.

Restaurants include Cocina del Mar, carved into the bluffs overlooking the Sea of Cortez and featuring multiple levels of romantic stone terraces flowing from a circular palapa-roofed dining room down to the property’s two sandy coves.
4. Mauna Lani
A new Auberge hotel that we are excited about is situated on the southern edge of Napa Valley, where pristine vineyards blanket gently rolling hills that rise up to meet the wide-open California sky. Here, Stanly Ranch, a new destination in the heart of wine country, celebrates the romance of connecting with family and friends in a setting that’s steeped in winery estate tradition, inspired by the beauty of the land, and infused with a fresh, convivial spirit.
5. Hotel Jerome
Hotel Jerome has been the social hub of Aspen since its opening in 1889 at the height of the town’s silver boom, known as the place where all great stories were born and are told. As the only Aspen hotel to survive the silver crash, the long pre-ski-resort winters, and the Depression, it has seen cowboys ride through its doors, 10th Mountain Division soldiers gather round over pints after training on the slopes, and Hunter S. Thompson holding court during his run for sheriff. You can’t experience Aspen without experiencing Jerome.
6. Element 52
Element 52 offers the ski-in/ski-out lifestyle in Telluride. Offering some of the most diverse terrains in North America and singular natural beauty, where red rocks rise from the canyon floor, and the snowy peaks of the San Juan Mountains loom majestically ahead.
Make small-town Telluride your very own small-town heaven lined with colorful clapboard-fronted shops and Victorian buildings. Element 52 comprises of 48 artfully designed two-to-five-bedroom residences situated just steps away from a slice of the historic Old Wild West.

8. Malliouhana
When it opened over 30 years ago, Malliouhana put Anguilla on the map as an idyllic romantic getaway. The oceanfront resort is set atop a bluff that rolls down to pristine white sands and azure-blue sea. From vibrant island cuisines to Caribbean seaside adventures and spacious beachfront accommodations, this hotel offers a slice of paradise. Highlights include a cascading infinity pool that seems to drop off into the sea below and a beach bar that epitomizes toes-in-the-sand relaxation.
