Marlborough & Nelson, New Zealand

Marlborough and Nelson crown the top of New Zealand's South Island, pairing the country's most celebrated Sauvignon Blanc vineyards with the drowned valleys of the Marlborough Sounds and the golden crescents of Abel Tasman National Park. Luxury here means private launches to water-access-only lodges, cellar-door lunches among the vines and long, sunlit days on the country's most sheltered coastline.

Bay of Many Coves

A five-star, water-access-only lodge of just eleven apartments perched above Queen Charlotte Sound, reached by launch or helicopter from Picton.
