Unusual stays around the world

There are so many destinations around the world, each with their own traditions, charm and authenticity. There are so many places to explore, so many sights to see, so many cuisines to try, so many cultures to discover. Holidays are a true experience, from the activities you embark on, the restaurants you dine in and of course your choice of accommodation. So, let’s take a look at some unusual beds around the world to rest your head in this year.

Starting us off, we head to Thailand. How does sleeping in a luxury tented camp in the midst of a tropical rainforest or in a floating tented camp sound? Paired with unique Asian elephant encounters, Elephant Hills is one of Thailand's most special experiences. Thailand continues to amaze travellers year after year with its authenticity and local charm.

 

Moving on to the Spanish island of Majorca, do you fancy sleeping in history? Son Brull Hotel & Spa offers you the chance to sleep in a glorious 12th century former monastery. While the design-oriented rooms are a wonderful blend of old and new, you can just imagine the sound of monks pressing olive oil in the sprawling farmland outside. Majorca invites you to enjoy golden sandy beaches and pretty fishing villages oozing with charm.

Tucked away in a sleepy village in the Troodos Mountains, you’ll feel like you’re a regal traveller of times gone by as you rest at Casale Panayiotis on the vibrant island of Cyprus. The lovingly restored rooms are sprinkled with 20th century charm, from the stone walls to fireplaces. The hotels spa uses ancient rituals derived from the village many years ago. The Troodos Mountains are the perfect location for a relaxing holiday surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes.

Be transported to a timeless haven with a stay at East Winds on the tranquil Caribbean island of St Lucia. When you’re not enjoying the resort’s secluded beach and crystal waters, retreat among the lush tropical foliage to your intimate cottage-style suite that’s spiced with island chic. Offering all inclusive luxury, you can feel truly relaxed here in this island paradise.

Embrace desert glamour with a night at Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, Dubai. Slumber in one of the Bedouin Suites, which have been lavishly decorated with rare, handcrafted Arabian furnishings. To inspire creativity, you’ll find an easel with art materials, and there’s a private infinity pool whenever you need to cool off!

Can primitive meet luxury? We certainly think so, in the volcanic hills of Santorini in Greece. Resting into the rocks, the adults-only San Antonio's Superior Suites offer a really cave-like feel, where you can unwind in a hanging whirlpool that offers enchanting views over the Aegean Sea and the caldera. Enjoy an iconic sunset over the caldera and watch as the sky lights up with shades of red and orange, a moment not to be missed.
