14 August, 2019
No longer just billowing tents exposed to the elements, today's desert camps are reimagining the landscape. Amangiri was the trailblazer, almost vanishing into the otherworldly Utah terrain, and paving the way for a crop of boundary-pushing hideouts. It's all about working with the environment - not against it. These next-level designs are blending into their natural surroundings: curving around rock formations, disappearing behind cliff faces, folding into foothills and rising from salt flats. The environments may be harsh, but the hotels soften the blow. These are 10 of the best.

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
Cradled in the belly of Catarpe Valley, this marmalade-coloured wilderness lodge occupies the world's highest and driest desert. The arid surroundings may be unforgiving, but Alto Atacama Desert Lodge & Spa is a haven from the relentless heat - six plunge pools are peppered throughout the grounds. Further outdoor baths, filled with water from underground springs, are part of the tranquil spa (home to geothermal treatments, no less). Elsewhere, there's a llama enclosure and a hilltop astronomical telescope for stargazing across the clear skies.
