Minimalist interiors reflect San Giorgio’s focus on life’s
simple pleasures. Holistic interior design and Cycladic
architecture are paired with private beaches and gardens, resulting
in this idyllic Grecian paradise. Differing from other
party-centric
Mykonos hotels, San Giorgio serves vitamin-packed smoothies and
a wide variety of plant-based meals made with fresh produce.

In the middle of California’s Joshua Tree, this Moroccan-inspired boutique hotel proves that back-to-basics holidaying has never been more appealing. Record players spinning vinyls provide the soundtrack to your day, while interiors boast Mojave rugs and vintage globes. In the evening, soak in an outdoor bathtub before gathering around a firepit to watch the sunset across the desert.

On Oaxaca’s sandy coastline, a cactus-lined entrance leads the
way to 16 private cabanas. Thatched ceilings, wooden floors and
woven chairs make up the interior of sleek Hotel Escondido, while
outside a swimming pool (olympic-sized, of course) has never looked
so inviting. Each bungalow comes with a private plunge pool and
ocean views. Doze off in a hammock after a day spent drinking too
much mezcal and awake in time for an evening barbecue on the
beach.

A stark contrast to most Ibizan hotels, Los Enamorados offers a
laid-back atmosphere and eclectic, boho decor. Wake up to sea views
before indulging in a breakfast of homemade pastries and freshly
squeezed juice. As the name – meaning “the lovers” – suggests, this
romantic spot is best experienced with a plus one.

This eco-hotel, running on geothermal energy and solar panels,
attracts hedonistic travellers seeking a bohemian aesthetic. Rooms
are individually themed – choose between Gold, Land, Tree and Love
– complete with feature fireplaces, natural materials and sea-view
terraces. Spend days taking part in any of the hotel’s activities,
from yoga classes to mussel harvesting, before gathering round the
bonfire come evening to chat to other guests.

In Granada, Nicaragua’s colonial Unesco-protected city, this hotel provides an oasis for travellers. Interiors are decorated with Turkish kilims, Moroccan lanterns and artwork made by local artisans, while each room has a private terrace framed by palm trees. Owned by famed New York restaurateur Jean-Marc Houmard, of Indochine and Acme, you can rest easy in the knowledge that breakfast will not disappoint.

This pared-back hotel advocates a whole-hearted return to
nature. Rooms are television free, but that’s fine considering
hours could be spent staring at the ornate, hand-painted ceilings
and Moroccan crafts, mosaics and furnishings. Wander round the
hotel’s garden and admire the marble fountains and stained-glass
windows in the central courtyard. In the morning, head to the
hotel’s restaurant, billed to have produced the first vegan menu in
the city. Don’t forget to snap a picture before you begin – the
breakfast spread has graced the Instagram feed of many
influencers.

This jungle eco-lodge sits on the balmy beach of Playa Maderas. Awake to the sound of birds chirping and howler monkeys chattering; each cabana offers views across the sea or of lush jungle greenery. Spend days lazing on the sand, surfing, doing yoga classes on the sundeck, or spotting turtles along the beachfront.

Thatched roofs, outdoor showers and colourful rugs have given
this hotel its bohemian label. Perch on Moroccan poufs and drink
tea with fellow sun-seeking guests before taking part in spiritual
workshops arranged by the hotel. Afterwards, kick back on the beach
with a good book.

Innovative design and bamboo architecture combine to form the unique houses in this eco-resort. Opt for the Copper House and unwind in an outdoor copper bathtub under the moonlight or choose The Tents if you fancy sleeping perched on a cliff edge, overlooking the treetops and Ayung River valley. Bali’s spiritual centre has never seemed so tranquil.
