This year, the hotel awards cover 13 categories from best major refurbishment to best wellness retreat that reward the very best trend-setting, rule-breaking and game-changing hotels in the business.

Opened in December last year, Zannier Hotels Bai San Ho in Song Cau Town of Phu Yen, an emerging beach destination in south-central Vietnam, consists of 71 villas covering around 98 hectares (242 acres) of lush greenery and is surrounded by rice fields.

Facing a long white sand beach, the hotel took inspiration from local ethnic minority groups and nearby fishing villages by constructing three different types of Vietnamese-style villas, laden with bamboo ceilings and antique rice baskets.

"If you’re looking for a romantic escape, this place is hard to beat," the British travel magazine said.

"Villas borrow the Vietnamese vernacular: all thatched roofs and woven bamboo walls, crowned by muslin-draped beds and come-hither bathtubs. Most decadent of all is the Yin and Yang treatment at the spa, with a ginger-and-brandy bath for two and a herbal, energy-balancing massage," it said.

Room prices range from around VND9.5 million ($416.73) a night.

Paradero Todos Santos in Mexico won the best design hotel category while The Hoxton in Italy won best urban hotel, and Can Ferrereta in Spain, best boutique hotel.
