#KENYA’S SEGERA RETREAT TOPS GLOBAL CHART FOR SUSTAINABLE LUXURY ACCOMMODATION
(Posted 27th June 2019)
The VIP International Traveller Readers’ Award 2019 for Sustainable Luxury Tourism, against very stiff competition, was this year won by the Segera Retreat in northern Kenya, relegating The Brando in French Polynesia and the famous North Island in the Seychelles to second and third place respectively.
The remaining places of the top 15 such properties around the world were made up as follows:
4. Soneva Kiri, Koh Kood, Thailand
5. The Peninsula, Hongkong, China
6. Soneva Fushi, Kunfunadhoo Island, Malediven
7. The Savoy, London, Großbritannien
8. Six Senses Ninh van Bay, Vietnam
9. Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley, Australien
10. Gili Lankanfushi, Nord Malé Atoll, Malediven
11. Grootberg Lodge, Namibia, Afrika
12. Keemala Resort, Phuket, Thailand
13. Relais & Châteaux Hotel Awasi Iguazú, Misiones, Argentinien
14. Biohotel Flachauerhof, Flachau, Österreich
15. Grand Hotel Bad Ragaz, Schweiz
The names in the top 15 are evidence what Segera was up against to bring home to Kenya this top award – rightly the only fully fledged 5star property in Kenya north of the equator.
Says VIP International about its awards and who was able to vote:
Where is the most sophisticated city hotel or the most exclusive hotel worldwide? Who offers the finest ambience, the most attentive service, the most extensive wellness programme? The excellence of a hotel is best assessed by those who have already stayed in it and formed a personal opinion of the quality of the service, the culinary offers and the wellbeing factor. For this reason we have asked our VIP International Traveller readers to choose the respective best in 12 selected categories. This year a wide range of first-class luxury domiciles participated in reaching a critical judgement, the lucky winners are announced in this issue.

Segera has in recent years made it into the Conde Nast Gold List and the World Legacy Award finals, among many other accolades bestowed on them.
Congratulations to Jens Kozany and his team at the Segera Retreat on winning their latest trophy and once again highlighting that Kenya continues to have what it takes to rank among the greatest safari destinations in Africa.
