The adults-only fairytale resort is designed to awaken your inner child. Upon arrival, you will be treated with an oversized Trollhouse cookie made with ‘fairy dust’.

If you happen to be a Lord of the Rings fan, you should definitely add this peculiar hotel to your bucket list.

The Manta Resort

You might not be an aquatic creature, but you can certainly enjoy life under the sea when you visit this unusual hotel. The Mantra Resort has a unique floating suite with an underwater bedroom where fish glide past your windows.

It’s a private ‘cottage’ on three floors located in the middle of crystal clear water, with the bedroom four metres below sea level.

From the upper deck, you’re able to sit back and enjoy the sunrise and the gorgeous night sky, while from the bed, you can look out at the ocean’s marine life.

The luxurious and laid back Manta Resort is located on the island’s northwest coast and north of Zanzibar. It lies on a fantastic beach surrounded by colourful coral reefs.

 If you are ever up for an adventure, you might want to consider this remote island hideaway where you can feel the simplicity of a nature that surrounds you.

Sun Cruise Resort

The world’s first on-land cruise ship, yes you read correctly, this cruise ship doesn’t actually do the sea.

If you’re going on a trip to South Korea, you might want to stay on a cruise ship that hangs over the mountainside?

Sun Cruise Resort offers all the luxury and convenience of a cruise holiday without, well, the actual cruise.

Perched on a cliff in Korea, this ship won’t take you very far, but maybe it can still float your boat.

It opened in 2002, and it’s perfectly located on a beach with mountains in the background. The hotel offers a variety of water activities and has a pool, tennis courts, a private beach, and a harbour.

So you can watch the beautiful sunset from your cabin on the land without worrying about getting seasick!

If you are a K-pop or K-drama fan and plan to visit South Korea some day you might want to book your stay at Sun Cruise Resort.

Giraffe Manor

Get up and close with giraffes in Kenya! Giraffe Manor isn’t just a romantic name.

This 1930s estate is home to tame giraffes who like to poke their heads through the restaurant windows to see what you’re up to.

As one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings, Giraffe Manor has an extraordinary appeal, the unique hotel is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest and dates back to the 1930s when European visitors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. 

Giraffe Manor is one of the most popular accommodation choices in the whole of Eastern Africa.

Whenever you are planning that trip to the motherland, you definitely may as well make Kenya your first stop.

Igloo Hotel Kakslauttanen

This winter village with glass igloos and real snow igloos in Finland, allows you watch the Northern Lights right from your bed!

Made from thermal glass, the igloo never spoils your view with frost and is always room temperature inside. No wonder this resort has been named one of the ‘most romantic’ places in the world.

And if you prefer the traditional snow and ice construction instead of a glass igloo, they’ve got that too. The igloos are insulated in a way to make the indoor temperature comfortable, even when the temperature drops below -4°F or -20°C.

The ‘Igloo Village’ is only open December-January so make sure you book early. There is also a snow restaurant, ice-sculpture park, and a glass-roofed cocktail bar located halfway up a tree. 

Kakslauttanen is one of Finland’s most famed destinations, it offers everything from horseback riding to reindeer safaris – that is, sleigh rides with reindeer. You will not find more winter idyll anywhere else.
