It’s very important to carefully plan your perfect getaway, so do your research thoroughly. Your chosen hotel is your first impression of wherever you’re going, and if it stinks your trip probably will too, so choose wisely.

1. The Bellagio, Las Vegas

If you were traveling throughout the Americas, a great choice would be the Bellagio in Las Vegas, a five-star hotel owned by one of the industry’s most renowned entrepreneurs, Steve Wynn. Although it is best known for its perfect location on the Strip, the Bellagio is also admired for its whopping thirty-six-story architecture and the custom-built auditorium where incredible shows are staged for guests. The Bellagio allows its guests to choose from a plethora of restaurants within and nearby, utilizing the complimentary $150 dinner credit that is offered with its many luxurious packages. As if it couldn’t get any better, you can continue to build your relationship with the Bellagio after your stay, as it offers catering and banquet services and a wedding venue. Talk about heaven on Earth!

2. Atlantis, Dubai

In Dubai, travelers can enjoy an experience they will never forget at the Atlantis: a luxurious five-star hotel located at the reputable Palm Jumeirah Island. The Atlantis is most popular for the unique, underwater suites that are available to guests, allowing them to be completely exposed to the numerous wonders of the waters surrounding them. It offers more than twenty upscale restaurants for its guests to choose from, as well as kids’ clubs, nightclubs and even its very own waterpark.

3. Cabenes Als Abres, Spain

If a woodsy landscape sounds more relaxing to you, don’t fret! A simple trip to the gorgeous Catalonia region of Spain can transport you into an exceptional and utterly natural experience at the Cabenes Als Arbres resort. The Cabenes Als Arbres is named after what it offers to its visitors – cabins in the trees. These strategically built cabins offer seclusion and peace, allowing guests to fully enjoy the diversity and natural rhythm and perspective of nature in its purest form. Guests can further explore the natural beauty of the land’s mountains and nearby museums. At the Cabenes Als Arbres, every night ends peacefully as guests are engulfed in the starry night sky they can view from their cabins.

4. Ubud Hanging Gardens, Bali

If you really want to make an unforgettable memory, consider a trip to Indonesia. It is home to another resort that uses the natural elements around it to highlight its experience: the Ubud Hanging Gardens, located within the Balinese jungle. It is surrounded by a series of volcanoes, terraces and copious plant life. In addition to the many sights available to enjoy, the Hanging Gardens also feature what has been named the “World’s Best Swimming Pool” on more than one occasion. The private villas and reflexology areas provide a calming, comfortable environment that’s perfect for individuals and families alike.

5. Iglu-Dorf, Switzerland

If you’re used to a very warm climate or just enjoy the feel of a constant cool breeze, the Iglu-Dorf hotel in Switzerland might be just what you’re looking for. As the name suggests, the entire hotel is an igloo – made completely out of ice and snow. During their stay, guests can visit the Walking-rope Park; explore a wide array of ice sculptures and art, bungee jump and much more. And even if you aren’t particularly fond of cold weather, there are, of course, hot springs and saunas to regulate your body temperature. Everyone needs a break from reality sometimes, and everyone deserves one. These brief moments of peace and tranquility are what drive us to push through the harder stints in life. Make your vacation one to remember by taking a risk – whether it’s to sleep in an underwater room, near a volcano, in an igloo, or something even better. You won’t know what you’re missing until you find out, so good luck and bon voyage! Featured photo credit: Alexander Kaunas via unsplash.com
