In days of yore, becoming a business mogul meant long days tied to your desk – with a couple of hours of respite with family or friends sandwiched in between.
But while hard work, initiative and intelligence still remain key ingredients in the entrepreneurial recipe, modern technology means that you can run a billion dollar business on the move, with the only prerequisites being a laptop, mobile and suitable measure of steely self-belief.
So if you love travel and are maintaining a mobile business empire, you might be keeping an eye out for some luxe lodgings where you can relax and unwind, slake your thirst for knowledge or network with collaborators.
With that in mind, here are three divine hotels for digital nomads!
1. Jakes, Jamaica
Nestled in spellbinding Treasure Beach in Jamaica’s St Elizabeth Parish, Boho boutique hotel Jakes is a bit of a hidden gem.
Founded by Justine Henzell, whose late father Perry directed cult cinema classic The Harder They Come, this is a favourite spot for those in the know to chill out completely. Reserve your own stucco bungalow in a choice of pastel shades and sip a rum punch while Caribbean waves massage the shore.
Ideal for: catching up with your Gaia online yoga classes while watching the sunrise, then breakfasting on Blue Mountain coffee, ackee, salt fish and boiled bananas.
2. Hotel Belles Rives, France
Hotel Belles Rives is located in a glamorous corner of the Cote d’Azur where Juan-Les-Pins snakes outwards onto the Cap d’Antibes.
This understated Art Deco masterpiece perfectly evokes the spirit of the roaring 20s and provided the backdrop to Fitzgerald’s literary classic Tender Is the Night.
Sit sipping a Kir Royale on the terrace and gaze over the bay towards Cannes – you’ll soon be borne backwards to the Jazz Age.
Ideal for: penning your autobiography with the MemLife memoir app, taking stock of your achievements and planning your next business moves.
3. Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland
The superbly stylish Gleneagles Hotel in picturesque Perthshire is synonymous with haute cuisine and high-end sports.
Built by the Caledonian Railway Company and opened in 1924, it soon earned the reputation of ‘a Riviera in the Highlands’ and its three championship golf courses have become famous the world over.
It also boasts beautiful restaurants, a sublime spa and countless suites where you can lounge in the lap of luxury.
Ideal for: reviewing notes for your Anglia Ruskin Distance Learning course before networking over a round of golf and retiring to the fireside to share a dram in good company.
