Dressie Hotel

With sweeping ocean views, three restaurants offering Mexican and Asian cuisine, and spacious rooms with sleek décor, this resort in Punta Diamante feels far removed from partying Acapulco crowds. Many rooms feature private decks with hammocks and plunge pools.

Situated on a 36,000-acre private concession inside Kruger National Park, this timeless lodge consists of 20 thatched cottages. Guests can enjoy twice-daily game drives, interpretative bush-walks, a rhino conservation experience, and a romantic night in a secluded tree house under the stars.

Set against a breathtaking backdrop of the Laikipia Plateau and the jagged peaks of Mount Kenya, Sasaab features nine tented rooms with private plunge pools and Moroccan-Swahili design. Game drives and safari experiences afford various wildlife encounters, including with the endangered Grévy's zebra, which are often seen in the nearby Samburu National Reserve.
