The Cliff Nakuru

Lake Nakuru

Popular |
10 Rooms
|
From $380 per person/night
Bush-chic tents perched on the water's edge for the best views of Lake Nakuru.
Seated 100 metres above Kenya's Lake Nakuru, a soda lake well-loved for its flamingo population, The Cliff is the not-so-conspicuous new addition to the landscape. Of course its dramatic vantage is a major draw, but so is its exclusivity - just ten tents make up the lodge. What's more, Lake Nakuru National Park's mix of habitats (woodland, savannah and volcanic cliffs) mean it's the perfect place to try and spot four of the Big Five. With its fresh, contemporary approach to décor and emphasis on personally tailored service, The Cliff could compete with any shi-shi boutique city hotel - only it's oh so much more compelling.

Superb hospitality in Botswana's wild, eastern corner

|
From $120 per person/night
Oasis in a landscape brimming with secrets.
North-east of Swakopmund, just 25 km north of the small town of Usakos, is a stone lodge hunkered at the base of the Erongo Mountains, the eroded relic of a volcano that was active some 140 to 150 million years ago. Hohenstein Lodge, named for the highest peak of the mountains, is also the closest lodge to the famous Spitzkoppe mountains – so it's worth stopping here for a few days to hike the slopes, view the rock paintings (some are 2000-plus years old), explore the flora and fauna of the wide camelthorn-studded plains and revel in the intense sunsets.

SUJÁN Sher Bagh

Ranthambore National Park

Popular |
From $520 per person/night
A classically-beautiful jungle camp with magical service right on the edge of Ranthambore.
Located on the very edge of the glorious Ranthambore National Park, India’s prime real estate for spotting a flash of Royal Bengal, Sujan Sher Bagh is intimate, beautiful and genuinely couldn’t be any closer to the action. It’s so close, in fact, that one female tiger in particular has been known to wander the pathways! Run by Jaisal and Anjali Singh, the camp harks back to the days of the British Raj and bygone safaris, and there’s a certain old-world glamour to the 12 hand-stitched canvas tents; think smouldering paraffin lanterns, gleaming campaign furniture and plenty of elegant copper fittings. By day, head into the park for wildlife-filled game drives (with hopefully a tiger amongst the varied cast) and by night, enjoy aperitifs at dusk before dinner fit for a Maharajah…

Dunes Camp

Zagora

For a truly magical night in the Sahara Desert, Dune Camp is the perfect escape.

A beautiful, colonial treasure far off the beaten track in Mozambique.
Travel back in time to Ibo Island Lodge. The island has a rich history of Arab and Portuguese occupation since the 10th century, which is reflected in the buildings, decor and cuisine at the lodge. The main building, guest rooms and villa are spread across manicured gardens brimming with bougainvillea and palms. These three majestic buildings are lovingly-restored colonial buildings over 150 years old. Their wide verandahs, thick coral and lime walls, high ceilings and wooden beams create a sense of olde-worlde opulence by the seaside. The beach is on your doorstep and we love the rooftop restaurant and chillout area overlooking the Indian Ocean and the African sunset.

Singita Sweni is hard to beat.

Mitsui Garden Hotel

Kanazawa

158 Rooms
|
From $180 per person/night
A modern base steeped in Kanazawa craft, with rooftop soaking and an ace location.

Kanazawa often gets called "Little Kyoto," but this castle town on the Sea of Japan has a charm entirely its own — think gold leaf artisans, preserved geisha quarters and one of Japan's most celebrated gardens. Positioned right in the thick of it, this contemporary hotel (the brand's first in the Hokuriku region) puts Omicho fish market five minutes away on foot, with samurai streets, Kenrokuen Garden and the castle all within easy reach. The real draw? A design that weaves local craft into every corner — Kaga Yuzen fabrics, Wajima lacquerware touches, lighting edged in gold leaf — and a rooftop bathhouse overlooking the greenery of the castle park.
