A boutique stay in one of Nepal’s most remote areas has just been named the greatest luxury hotel in the world.

The annual list from Robb Report, which first started in 2023, ranks the top 10 properties around the globe before organising the remaining 40 by region.

This year, the highest ranked hotel is Shinta Mani Mustang in the Kali Gandaki River Valley, a 29-key property with a five-night minimum stay.

Wellness is a key focus at the retreat, with each guest attending an individual consultation with a Tibetan medicine doctor to create a tailor-made programme that makes use of Himalayan plants and herbs as well as traditional practices.

No visit to Nepal would be complete without a spot of hiking, and so naturally your stay includes wilderness trekking with routes customised to your ability levels and experience as well as the conditions on the day.
