Mojave Sands

Joshua Tree, US

In the middle of California’s Joshua Tree, this Moroccan-inspired boutique hotel proves that back-to-basics holidaying has never been more appealing.

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.

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.

In the morning, head to the hotel's restaurant, billed to have produced the first vegan menu in the city.
