Instead of seeing the sights and then heading back to a hotel, why not see the sights from the hotel? Beyond rooftop bars and terraces in common spaces, exquisite hotels around the world can offer something even better: views right from the hotel room.
With new accommodations popping up around the world, from Mexico to Zimbabwe, here's where you can find luxe experiences in exotic destinations while relaxing from the comfort of your own hotel room.
Zemi Beach House in Shoal Bay Village, Anguilla overlooks a famous Bay.
Ever dreamed of owning a beachfront home? This is about as close as it gets.
"Complete with a premier spa and a fine dining sea-to-table restaurant called Stone, the 65-room hotel sits on the world-famous Shoal Bay East,"according to Vogue.
Take in the intensely turquoise waves and white sand beaches which stretch out for miles right from your own plush bed. It's a truly luxe experience, including rooms outfitted with wireless Bluetooth sound systems and motion-sensing climate control, according to their site. But the star here is the sun, sand, and warm ocean breezes.
Rocky Hills Retreat in Tasmania, Australia is surrounded by nature.
This deluxe boutique hideaway encourages guests to really relish their surroundings. It's easy to feel moved by nature here — the backdrop is the awe-inspiring Tasmanian bush.
The best part? Outside on the deck you'll find a custom-built Huon pine bath to soak in.
Rocky Hills Retreat is also a particularly great place for those who want to flex their artistic abilities.
"A fully equipped art studio is available just 300 metres away, just waiting for you to draw, paint, or sculpt your own masterpiece,"according to Discover Tasmania.
Capella Ubud in Ubud, Bali is a sanctuary.
Newly opened in July of 2018, Capella Ubud allows you to dive deep into the natural wonders of Bali. Nestled between Ubud's rainforest, rice paddy fields, and the sacred Wos River, simply being in your room inspires a sense of adventure.
During construction, no tree was cut down — which means the resort feels like a tucked away sanctuary.
"I love the idea that the camp, in essence, disappears into the rainforest," Bill Bensley, the architect behind Capella Ubud, told Robb Report.
Part glamping, part luxury hotel, all housing options offer both indoor and outdoor bathrooms as well as a spacious lounge area to relax and unwind.
