Are you facing wanderlust but just cannot decide where to go? Or is there something holding you back from seeing the world? Here’s a list of 5 interesting hotels in the emerging regions that might give you that final push to buy that plane ticket and get outta here!
1. Kumbuk River Eco Extraordinaire, Sri Lanka
- Stay inside a 40-foot elephant villa. Yes, elephants are not just gods, they are also homes!
2. Palacio de Sal, Uyuni, Bolivia
- A room in the Palacio de Sal. Located at the edge of the famous Bolivian Uyuni salt plains, this resort’s walls are made entirely of salt! Salty dreams…
3. The Giraffe Manor, Nairobi, Kenya
- The giraffes on this manor were moved here after the loss of their natural habitat. They are allowed to roam the compound freely, giving you an opportunity to feed them and take pictures as they poke their heads through your windows! *Not suitable for people who like their privacy more than cute visitors.
4. Montana Magica Lodge, Chile
- This awesome hotel has waterfalls cascading down from the top outside the windows of the 13-room retreat. The lodge is situated in the middle of a private reserve, and is only accessible by foot. Read our guide to getting around Chile here.
5. Mamara Antalya, Antalya, Turkey
- The Mamara Antalya is the world’s first revolving hotel, with a 24-room spinning loft that provides guests with a constantly changing 360 degree view.
