Riad Secret Jardin, Double room

Marrakesh, Morocco

Morocco’s riads are exceptionally beautiful – traditional houses built around a central courtyard or garden, these started springing up during the Islamic Period.

Parador de Hondarribia, Suites

Hondarribia, Spain

The Parador network is an exceptional collection of historic hotels managed by the Spanish government, and perfect stop off points for any pilgrims taking Spain the slow way. The Parador de Hondarribia and its suites provides a particularly exceptional stopover, though – with its tenth century medieval walls and tapestry-sheltered beds.

BOOK: From £300 a night, paradores.es/en.


Onguma Camp, Kala Suites

Onguma Nature Reserve, Namibia

This is an ultra-exclusive safari camp that only totals four guest suites – and each are incredible. Designed by Nick Plewman Architects and interior designers Fox Browne Creative, the spaces are designed to mirror the surrounding desert, with the lodge’s central tower reflecting the termite mounds native to the area (but a lot more luxe, given its private wood fired hot tub and plunge pool…). Each contains an incredible lookout from a wooden decking, and a daybed for sleeping under the stars.

BOOK: From £1,000 a night per person, all inclusive, onguma.com.
