Luxury summer escapes
Exclusive holidays from Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts
and Kanoo Travel
For almost 40 years Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts have been thrilling discerning guests with their luxury properties and personalised service.
The largest deluxe-hotel group in Asia Pacific, the success
of the brand has generated expansion throughout the
Middle East and Australia, with forays
into the Seychelles, Austria, France, UK, Turkey and Russia
all currently under way.
The name Shangri-La is inspired by a fictional paradise
in James Hilton’s 1933 novel, Lost Horizon. When you book
with Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts,
your dream holiday – one that you previously thought could
only exist in your imagination – will become an idyllic reality.
Whether you’re looking to be cast away to a secluded
island with sugar-white sands and lucid seas, or if
you prefer the pulsating pace of a city offering endless
sightseeing and shopping opportunities, they have it
covered. Then again, you may just be after unadulterated
pampering in one of their award-winning CHI Spas.
No matter where your sense of curiosity takes you,
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts will tailor-make a foolproof
journey for you and your loved ones.
You’ll notice that two of their properties which debuted
last year have already made it onto the Conde Naste 2010
Hot list. The sporty Shangri-La Villingili Resort and Spa in
the Maldives is perfect for couples with a zest for life, while
the Shangri-La Boracay Resort and Spa in the Philippines
is for those lusting after a destination off the beaten track.
Both will take your breath away. Island retreats are expected
to have one dazzling beach, but the Boracay Resort has two.
Then again, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts have never
done anything in half measures.
Most of their hotels offer an Horizon Club, so get with the
programme. Seasoned travellers who aspire to even higher
levels of service and special privileges, will benefit from
Club floor check-in and outs, a deluxe room with thoughtful
extras such as personalised voicemail, complimentary
broadband internet, suit pressing, shoe shining, beverages
on the house, and club lounge access with fortifying
breakfasts, books and board games.
Stay at Shangri-La by booking with Kanoo Travel, you will
not be disappointed.
Welcome to the world of Shangri-La
Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, Sultanate of Oman.
Why should I stay here?
City slickers who enjoy being in the thick of things will
love this gleaming hotel, which is within easy reach of
the airport.
Which room should I book?
The Presidential Suite has a spectacular spiral
staircase to sweep you up to the master bedroom. Less
lavish but equally attractive, the beds in the Horizon
Premier rooms are situated in a curved alcove against
a cream leather partition.
What can I do while staying here?
In a city where shopping is virtually a competitive
sport, you’re well placed to visit designer label havens
The Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates. Tie in a trip
to the former with a journey to the top of Burj Khalifa
(courtesy of a supersonic elevator). It’s the world’s
tallest building, towering almost a kilometre above
the Arabian desert. Get back down to earth by visiting
the souks in Bur Dubai and hone your haggling skills
to bag Arabic souvenirs or some glittering gold items.
Eating out is also a national pastime. The Shangri-la’s
Amwaj is an award-winning seafood restaurant while
its Moroccan outlet, Marrakech, offers a fine example
of true Arabian hospitality.

Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai
Why should I stay here?
With the Maldives long earmarked as the world’s most
desirable honeymoon destination, this ocean retreat
offers ample stretches of empty beach on which to
soak up the sun.
Which room should I book?
Being an all-villa resort, your choice depends on
whether you’re trying to channel your inner Tarzan
and Jane – in which case, opt for a tropical tree house
gazing at the sea over a tamed jungle – or, if you fancy
yourself as Daryl Hannah’s plucky character in the
film Splash and need easy (and regular) access to
the ocean, a villa hovering right over the water will
be ideal. For a particularly private honeymoon, look
no further than Villa Laalu. With cascading water
features, a huge pool, timber-decked verandas and
in-villa dining available 24/7, you’ll never want, or
need, to leave.
What can I do while staying here?
CHI, The Spa is an entire village offering hours of ‘me
time’. Happy couples will have trouble fitting in all the
available activities, which include surfing, scuba diving,
kayaking, sailing and deep-sea fishing. You could even
wake up one morning and pop a question of an entirely
different nature: ‘Fancy lunch on the equator today,
darling?’ A luxury yacht can make this happen.

Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort & Spa, Maldives
Why should I stay here?
Sun worshippers can cram in a little culture at this
stunning seafront abode.
Which room should I book?
The speciality suites with cooling marble and mosaic
bathrooms and separate walk-in monsoon showers
are the prefect antidote to a long sticky day spent on
the beach.
What can I do while staying here?
Shangri-La Qaryat al Beri overlooks the spectacular
Sheikh Zayed Mosque – the third largest in the world. It
is also home to the world’s biggest hand-woven carpet,
made out of a whopping 35 tonnes of wool and cotton.
The mosque holds public tours at 10am from Sundays
to Thursdays. There’s a sophisticated and, more
importantly, air-conditioned souk right next door to the
hotel and no less than five swimming pools flanking
the health club, yoga room and Arabian-inspired CHI
spa. Guests can also partake in traditional abra rides
on the meandering 700-metre-long waterway. For
a further taste of local flavour, indulge in the Arabic
buffet at Sofra Bid. Alternatively, at the Vietnamese
outlet, Hoi An, supersized prawns are flown in from the
Mekong river direct to the dinner table.

Shangri-La Hotel Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi
Why should I stay here?
The quintessential weekend break, a mere 48 hours in
this secluded sanctuary will instil you with a new zest
for life.
Which room should I book?
There are three distinct hotels in one here. Al Waha
is the family-friendly zone, complete with a winding
waterway and inflatables; Al Bandar, home to
late-night lounges, is for couples or groups wishing
to make the most of the sultry evenings; while the
six-starred Al Husn, up on the hill, suits those after
something a little more private and dramatic.
What can I do while staying here?
The spectacle of an adult female turtle hoisting itself
from the ocean to lay eggs on the golden sands – as
this prehistoric species has done for millennia – is an
awe-inspiring one. If you’re staying at the Shangri-la’s
Barr al Jissah resort, all you have to do is leave your
room number with the concierge and the resort’s
designated Turtle Ranger will then alert you to any
turtle action taking place on the beach. Oman’s several
varieties, including the green turtle, loggerhead,
hawksbill and olive ridley, all return annually to fill
sandy nests with hundreds of eggs.

Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, Sultanate of Oman
Why should I stay here?
Shopaholics who want to save their energy for sifting
through designer labels will love the location of this
hotel near to Tokyo’s most famous shopping district.
Which room should I book?
The Horizon Deluxe Bay View rooms not only have
vistas to die for, there’s a perfectly placed chaise
lounge just under the window for hours of viewing
pleasure.
What can I do while staying here?
The Ginza doesn’t only have enough designer stores
to give your credit card a cramp; it is also Tokyo’s
definitive entertainment district with a hotchpotch
of boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, theatres,
nightclubs and cafes. One of the most expensive
pieces of real estate in Japan, one square metre here
is worth over ten million yen (more than 100,000 US
dollars). The site of a silver coin mint from 1612 – 1800,
it evolved as an upmarket shopping district following
1923’s Great Kanto Earthquake. Points of interest
include Ginza Wako with its clock tower still in tact,
the Sony building, a shrine to technology, and three
huge department stores all starting with the letter ‘M’:
Mitsukoshi, Matsuya and Matsuzakaya.

Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo
Why should I stay here?
For those who prefer their cities clean and green as
opposed to smoky and congested, sparkling Singapore
should be your first port of call.
Which room should I book?
In the Valley Wing deluxe room you can enjoy a cool
drink while you watch the crimson sun slinking down
and Singapore’s stunning skyline firing up.
What can I do while staying here?
Given the hotel’s location on the celebrated Orchard
Road, you’ll want to start off here, perusing its mixture
of high-end designer shops and hip boutiques like
Wisma Atria and Paragon. Then hit China Town for
seaweed, souvenirs and slippers, followed by Haji Lane
for Indie items. To get back to nature, at Underwater
World, one of the city’s most visited attractions, you
can actually join the tiger sharks and stingrays in the
aquarium by diving down to join them (while waving
at the other tourists snapping away at you). For
something a little more sedate, a stroll through the
flourishing Botanical Gardens is a very civilised way
to while away an afternoon. Don’t forget to sample the
renowned Singaporean chilli crab – you’ll fall hook,
line and sinker for this sweet meat.

Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore
Why should I stay here?
It’s unsurprising this devastatingly beautiful tropical
resort features on Conde Nast’s 2010 Hot List.
Cerulean seas seduce divers while its hilly landscape
is ideal for hiking enthusiasts. Alternatively, you can
just use the gorgeous location to get high on love.
Which room should I book?
Sprinkled across thickly forested hills, the palm
fringed pool villas, complete with raised wooden
tanning decks, a plunge pool and private butler
service, are the stuff that dreams are made of.
What can I do while staying here?
A diver’s nirvana, Boracay Island presents some of
the most exciting underwater opportunities in the
world. Better still, diving is available all year round.
Whether you’re more interested in getting up close
and personal with smaller parrot fish and ribbon
eels in the shallower dive spots, or your heart is set
on reef sharks, blue spotted stingrays, sea turtles
and psychedelic coral, the resort’s dive school, which
offers scuba for experienced divers and beginners, will
ensure you’re in for an exhilarating visual treat.
For those who prefer to keep their head above water,
Boracay is set within one of the island’s serene nature
reserves, with hours of exploratory walking at your
disposal.

Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa
Why should I stay here?
Manilians are obsessed with shopping. Shopping and
eating, that is. What’s not to like about this wonderfully
chaotic archipelago?
Which room should I book?
The Executive suites have blanket views of the Ayala
Avenue, so you can calmly watch the frenzied world
below in comfort.
What can I do while staying here?
The star attraction at The Marikina City Footwear
Museum is First Lady Imelda Marcos’ extensive shoe
collection – thousands of pairs of size eight and a half
shoes. She may be remembered as a symbol of the
corrupt extravagance of her husband’s political reign,
but a small part of you will be coveting the world’s
biggest set of shoes.
Thankfully, the hotel’s location in Makati, the hip and
happening heart of Manila, is where international
fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Bvlgari rub
shoulders with home grown labels like Bayo and
coveted shoe-designer Rusty Lopez. The interspersion
of cheap and cheerful Shoe Marts ensures you needn’t
buy shoes at the expense of an entire nation. For
wardrobe inspiration, head to Serendra where fashion
mavens can be found performing a balancing act with
their skinny lattes and the latest designer handbags.

Makati Shangri-La, Manila
Why should I stay here?
Nature-lovers with kids in tow will be enthralled by
the squeaky clean beaches and the nearby Jumalon
Butterfly Sanctuary.
Which room should I book?
All the rooms of this newly renovated resort have
been bestowed with a fresh new complexion, but the
champagne-coloured Ocean Wing Panorama room is
particularly light and bright with sweeping sea views.
What can I do while staying here?
The only danger of bringing your children here is that
they’ll probably refuse to get onto the plane back
home. The Adventure Zone, a multi-level playground
separated into three age levels, offers daily activities,
while the Toddler’s Zone will ensure younger sprogs
are safe and satisfied. Teens, meanwhile, will think
their birthdays have come early with video arcades,
table soccer and pool tables all available in the E-Zone.
Adults can use this opportunity to switch off completely
in the childfree Chi, The Spa, or soak up some rays on
the pristine arced beach. For family fun, there are golf
competitions, fish feeding at the marine sanctuary,
underwater safaris and visits to what is Cebu’s most
popular haunt, the multi-coloured Jumalon Butterfly
sanctuary.

Which room should I book?
Insist on a harbour view room. Every evening at 8
o’clock, Hong Kong shows off its brighter side with all
the buildings illuminated in a symphony of lights.
What can I do while staying here?
It’s ‘ship ahoy!’ for swashbuckling seafarers with a trip
on an original wooden Chinese junk boat, complete
with huge red sails billowing in the wind. Aqua Luna
at Tsin Sha Tsui Public Pier 1 offers daily harbour
trips, but if you’re there on the week end you can sail
to Stanley Island 90 minutes away, taking in the linear
skyline as you recline on a sofa bed with a cold beer. At
Stanley market you’ll find nifty coasters with Chairman
Mao prints, while the waterfront stores sell more
upmarket clothes. Sunday lunch at one of the many
wharfside cafes is an institution – as is queuing up at
Gino’s for a sinful gelato.

Your lofty position in the hills is highlighted even more
dazzlingly in an Horizon Peak View room – so close

delighted expressions on the passengers’ faces.
What can I do while staying here?
Tens of millions of people from across the globe have
partaken in the Peak Tram’s virtually vertical joyride
since its first commercial operation took off in 1888.
For a different sort of ride, make your way to Mid-
levels where you’ll discover that the escalator is the
most popular form of transportation in Hong Kong.
Yes, really. The longest outdoor escalator system in the
world – it’s actually 20 escalators and three moving
walkways – is used by thousands of commuters every
day. They also offer plenty of points worth hopping off
at for shopping, eating and general sightseeing.

Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai
Why should I stay here?
High-flyers who demand the best things in life won’t
be happy anywhere other than this shimmering slab
of brilliance slap bang in the centre of where China’s
extraordinary economic story began.
Which room should I book?
Depending on whether you’re after old-school
glamour or lustrous opulence, you can opt for a room
in the River Wing or the Grand Tower, respectively.
With 54 square feet rooms, the Grand Tower boasts
the largest non-suite rooms in Shanghai. You can
also refine your choice according to what type of
view you’d prefer: the bustling Bund, the soothing
Huangpu River, or Pudong’s glittering skyline.
What can I do while staying here?
The iconic Bund, also known as the Zhongshan Dong
Yi Lu, is a pulsating waterfront and an essential part
of Shanghai both strategically and historically.
Originally a stretch used by Europeans, Americans
and the Japanese who constructed their banks,
trading houses, hotels and consulates here, the
conflation of architectural styles, especially the old
colonial-era buildings, is intriguing. Directly opposite
the hotel on the west shore, you’ll spy the Oriental
Pearl TV Tower and the Jin Mao Tower.

Which room should I book?
The Premier rooms are so spacious you don’t need to
fork out for a suite.
What can I do while staying here?
Nothing can prepare you for the awesome scale of the
Forbidden City. Always intended as much more than
a palace, the whole court, from the emperors down,
were caught up in an unremitting litany of ritual and
ceremony. Some of that taste for grandeur is played
out in Tiananmen Square, the world’s largest public
gathering space, which is etched in our memories
as the site of 1989’s pro-democracy demonstrations.
Around this titanic square you’ll locate The Great Hall
of the People, the Mao Mausoleum (his embalmed
body lies in a crystal coffin) and the National Museum
where, in the waxwork gallery, China’s leaders and
dignitaries have been joined by a solitary western star
– David Beckham.
Other must-visits are the Xiushui Silk Market, one
of Beijing’s most popular clothes and accessories
markets, and the atmospheric Panjiayuan antiques
market, where to can pick up an exquisite bargain.

Which room should I book?
When in Beijing, it would appear somewhat churlish
not to check into the Beijing suite. No luxury is

What can I do while staying here?
Once you’ve indulged in the ‘food of Aphrodite’
(Tasmanian oysters) at Aria, the city’s finest Japanese
fare at the acclaimed Nadaman, some hearty
Cantonese cuisine at Summer Palace and belt-busting
confectionery at Gourmet Corner, you may want to
leave the hotel to explore. You’ll be familiar with the
‘Bird’s Nest’ from the television – the National Stadium
and stage for 2008’s Olympic Games – but it’s even
more impressive in the flesh. Winding 8,850 kilometres
from the East to West of the country, the Great Wall of
China is possibly the greatest architectural feat ever
achieved by mankind. You’ll need to walk its entire
length to burn off all those calories.

The Tanjung Wing Deluxe Seaview suite has a
spectacular deck that could host a party to rival one of
Vanity Fair’s legendary Oscar bashes. (Alternatively, it
provides a whole lot of extra space to keep the kids out

What can I do while staying here?
With the whippersnappers having the time of their
lives in the Kids Club – one of the largest child care
and play facilities in Malaysia – you have free reign to
hit one of the resort’s shimmering South China Sea
beaches, to try your hand at fishing, parasailing, scuba
diving, snorkelling, water skiing and windsurfing, or
to take a swing on the nine-hole pitch and putt course.
For some quality family time and heart-warming
memories, hop onto a shuttle to the hotel’s sister

Reserve aimed principally at orangutan rehabilitation

Which room should I book?
To instil yourself with the serene sense that you’re
not actually in a cacophonous city, request a room
overlooking the thickly foliaged garden bordering the
sparkling kidney-shaped pool.
What can I do while staying here?
Historical monuments abound. You can’t miss the 42-
metre high India Gate where a flame is kept burning in
memory of the 70,000 lives that were lost fighting for
the British army during WW1.
Ten minutes away, the foundations for Qutab Minar,
the highest tower in India, were laid way back in
1199 and it still stands strong as an Indo-Islamic
architectural wonder. In the Qutab complex you’ll
find several significant monuments including the Alai
Darwaza, the gateway built in 1310, and one of India’s
oldest existing mosques, Quwwat-ul-Islam.
The markets are fantastic for a sensory taste of New
Delhi, but for premium apparel, the Anokhi group
