Wild Coast Tented Lodge<\/h2>\n

Yala National Park, Sri Lanka<\/em><\/p>\n

You might have heard of Sri Lanka\u2019s<\/a> most famous spots but why not take a few days exploring its untamed and less-visited shores. Tucked in between the arresting jungle of Yala National Park<\/a> and the cerulean sea, Wild Coast Tented Lodge<\/a> combines luxury and camping in the best sense. Aptly named \u2018cocoons\u2019, the tents are decked out with delicate silks, leather deckchairs and four-poster beds \u2013 plus a plunge pool to cool off in. When in Yala, there\u2019s only one thing to do, leopard-spotting! Join your expert guide on a game drive through the cool undergrowth to spy on the famous big cats (it\u2019s the largest population in the world) as well as elephant, water buffalo and the surreal sloth bears. This is one of our favourite spots for families, the kids will be identifying tracks and building campfires in no time. Back at camp, enjoy top-notch meals in the cathedral-like dining domes, lounge in the pool or book a dreamy treatment at the spa.<\/p>\n

Taj Lake Palace<\/h2>\n

Udaipur, India<\/em><\/p>\n

Known to many India<\/a> aficionados as the country\u2019s most romantic city or perhaps, the City of Lakes, Udaipur<\/a> is a captivating blend of regal history, deep spirituality and natural beauty. Built as a private island in the middle of glassy Lake Pichola, with lavish rooms (butler service included) and turrets of marble, the Taj Lake Palace<\/a> manages to capture this spirit entirely. If you\u2019re after a little pampering then the Jiva Spa is the spot for you, and you needn\u2019t miss out on your surroundings as this spa has its own boat \u2013 spice-scented treatments, jacuzzi and all! And those surroundings we mentioned, they don\u2019t get much better than the views you\u2019ll find of lakeside palaces and Rajasthan\u2019s<\/a> far-off Aravalli Hills. You might be encircled by water but don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s simple enough to get your feet on solid ground and a short boat ride will drop you in the midst of age-worn havelis, temples, and head-turning stalls in no time. Once you\u2019re back on your palace island, tuck into 5-star cuisine and vintage wines whilst looking out over the starlit lake. You\u2019d think a place like the Taj only belongs in the movies (you might even recognise it from Octopussy) but luckily, it welcomes guests, and with quite a flourish too.<\/p>\n

Six Senses<\/h2>\n

Bumthang,\u00a0Bhutan<\/em><\/p>\n

Nature personified, Six Senses<\/a> was built as a \u2018forest within a forest.\u2019 Not only was not a single tree removed in its creation, each suite also has a pine sapling growing at its centre. This passion for the environment flows throughout with furniture crafted from recycled wood and traditional meals whipped up with foraged ingredients \u2013 and delicacies like air-dried yak with glass noodles and rich Bhutanese cheese too. The hotel pays homage to its alpine setting<\/a> with authentic (and divine) bathing rituals and Himalayan salt treatments at the spa, after which you\u2019ll be walking on air\u2026 And you may just need it after treks and horse rides through the glacier-carved valley and walks to the hilltop dzongs and Buddhist legends. But we wouldn\u2019t blame you for wanting to spend hours taking in the view from your balcony, a steaming cup of butter tea in hand.<\/p>\n

Camellia Hills<\/h2>\n

Hatton, Sri Lanka<\/em><\/p>\n

Should talk of Sri Lanka<\/a> conjure up images of rolling hills topped with temples and fragrant tea plantations as far as the eye can see, the Hill Country<\/a> is what you\u2019re after. Hatton<\/a> is as idyllic and genteel as it sounds, and with its ethereal views over Castlereagh Lake, you may just think you\u2019ve dreamt this spot up. For a more modern taste of Hatton, Camellia Hills<\/a> is an intimate lodge with just five alpine-style chalets, cosy sitting areas to curl up with a good book and a lovely infinity pool with views of the gleaming lake. As is always the case in Sri Lanka, there\u2019s plenty to keep you busy. Visit historic tea factories where you\u2019ll sip on a local blend and picnic in the shamrock-green fields, hike into the hills or go white water rafting. Did we mention a hike to the falls or boating on the water? Yes please!<\/p>\n

Ranthambore National Park, India<\/em><\/p>\n

When it comes to searching for the flash of stripes and arresting stare of a Bengal Tiger, Ranthambore National Park<\/a> is king and you\u2019ll find few better spots to rest your head after a day of tiger tracking than SUJ\u00c1N Sher Bagh<\/a>. Set on the edge of the billion-year-old forest, Sher Bagh is an opulent tented camp with a heady mix of butler service, foot rubs under the fig trees, wild adventure and drinks to be shared around the campfire each night. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled here, a female tiger has been known to wander the pathways! Make yourself at home in one of the dozen fluttering canvas suites \u2013 pick one with a private jacuzzi and romantic outdoor shower to really up your stay. And we haven\u2019t even mentioned the all-access pass to this sensational wilderness! Grab a pair of binos and wet your whistle with a deckchair safari as you spy on the waterhole rabble before taking intrepid drives in search of the famous tigers (along with sloth bears and crocodile-saturated lakes!). You can even enjoy horseback rides into the bird-rich foothills and get a taste of local history at the reserve\u2019s formidable fort. Return for delicious thalis under the stars and fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle. Welcome to Rajasthan<\/a>!<\/p>\n

After years of struggle, this once war-torn coast is on the rise as a beach paradise and it still has that unexplored feel. Venture down the coastline on a whale watching boat ride, jet ski across the bay and dive amongst shoals of iridescent fish. We couldn\u2019t let you go to Sri Lanka\u2019s<\/a> mystical northern coast without delving into its history on a tour of Trincomalee\u2019s<\/a> ancient streets and temples. What can we say, Sri Lanka is pretty magical.<\/p>\n

Kerala backwaters, India<\/em><\/p>\n

A tapestry of canals and lakes, where hidden villages and lush jungle brush along the waterline, the Kerala backwaters<\/a> promise endless tranquillity and we\u2019re not sure there\u2019s any better way to explore them than from the water itself \u2013 on a restored rice barge no less.
