Enchanting Summer Retreats

Enchanting Summer Retreats

When was the last time you slept under the stars or woke up with the first rays of the rising sun on your face? Nowadays, most people sleep in houses with closed windows, where the sound of the air conditioner drowns out everything else. But we shouldn’t forget that we are a part of nature, and returning to it now and then can be incredibly healing. This time, let’s dream about being in magical places like hammocks on the beach, beds in the middle of nowhere, or even in the ocean. There are remote and exotic hotels, lodges, timeshares, and resorts all over the world. Here are some of the dreamiest summer accommodations for sweet dreams.

The Star Bed at Nkwichi Lodge is in a prime spot on Lake Malawi. Those lucky enough to stay here will have the chance to watch wild animals roam and see over 300 species of birds. Breakfast is uniquely served in a baobab tree.

There’s also a unique accommodation in the middle of the largest private park desert in Kalahari. Guests can sleep under a thatched overhang, and the bedroom can be moved to different spots using a special mechanism. Plus, there’s a designated area where a private chef prepares the day’s meals.

Imagine opening your eyes to see the sun just rising and then plunging straight into turquoise waters. It sounds like a summer fantasy, right? In Bali, this dream can come true; you just need to book one of the beds set up right on the sand.

And how amazing would it be to wake up and see colorful, rare fish swimming above through a transparent ceiling? A few lucky people can stay in this underwater suite, while the rest of us can simply dream about it.
