A Curated Journey Through Africa’s Most Extraordinary Destinations

The Best Stays Collection brings together three beautifully crafted coffee-table books celebrating the finest sustainable luxury destinations across South Africa, Africa, and the Indian Ocean Islands. Each edition showcases hand-selected lodges, villas, hotels, and retreats that redefine modern travel — places where world-class hospitality meets deep respect for conservation, culture, and community.

Created in collaboration with Trips to Earth and enriched by Ardmore’s iconic artistry, this collection offers an immersive journey into the landscapes, wildlife, and cultures that make these regions among the most inspiring on Earth.

Together, these three volumes form a definitive celebration of purpose-driven luxury travel.
