Safari is more than wildlife sightings. It is an immersion into landscapes that shape how you move, rest, and connect with nature. Across South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania, safari experiences range from river-fed savannas and semi-arid plains to jungle coastlines and volcanic highlands. Each destination offers distinct wildlife, geography, and style of stay, from intimate, design-led lodges to family-focused reserves and remote wilderness camps. What unites them is proximity to raw nature and a sense of place shaped by climate, terrain, and conservation.
Discover landscape hotels located in or near UNESCO World Heritage Sites—destinations of global ecological, cultural, and historical importance. These unique stays offer more than just scenic views; they immerse you in protected environments with deep stories and rare beauty. From cliffside retreats to jungle lodges and cave dwellings, each property is designed to honor and preserve its surroundings.
Some hotels don’t follow the rules. Travel to Bali, Brazil, Switzerland, and Tanzania and discover these gems. Stay in one of the unique rooms created by architects Ando, Kuma, Mayne and Zumthor; all with expansive views of the Swiss mountainscape. Take an outdoor shower with nothing but the ocean in your view for a true inside/outside living experience of Zuri Zanzibar. Find peace and balance at Bambu Indah in Bali.
Find yourself staying within the Blue Lagoon; surrounded by the ancient Atacama Desert; dramatic landscapes of the Chilean Patagonia; a wild coral reef sanctuary; or unique freshwater turquoise lagoons and smooth surrealistic sand dunes.
Sea, stone, and magic. Sky for a ceiling. Watching the stars atop your own private island.
