your shoes at the door, these bohemian hotels pride
themselves on no-frills elegance. Amenities may not include
television or WiFi, but two minutes in a hammock with views of
unspoilt beaches or jungle treetops and you’ll be in
technology-free bliss. These are bohemian hotels to holiday in this
year.

San Giorgio
Mykonos, Greece
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.

Hotel Escondido
Puerto Escondido, Mexico
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.

Carretera Federal Salina Cruz, Santiago Pinotepa Nacional km 113, Puerto Escondido 71983
hotel
Los Enamorados
Ibiza, Spain
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.

Areias do Seixo
Torres Vedras, Portugal
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.

Tribal Hotel
Granada, Nicaragua
hotel
Riad Jardin Secret
Marrakech, Morocco
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.

Maderas, Nicaragua
hotel
Nomade
Tulum , Mexico
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.
