If you’re a fan of variety, look no further! Our latest roll-call of retreats is possibly the most diverse and unusual yet.
Themed wonders include a glitzy, kitschy Weymouth shrine to Nineties’ and Noughties’ pop culture, and a whimsical Devon hideaway with a Narnian wardrobe. Or sail to a remote Orkney island farmstead, lovingly restored for an authentic slice of Victorian life (and a delicious slice of Victoria sponge on arrival!).
If your taste veers more towards the far-flung and exotic, head for an opulent Thai resort surrounded by lush tropical nature – and sleep in a remote-controlled bed that glides out onto your private terrace at the touch of a button.
You could also stay in a villa carved right into the rugged Red Sea desert mountains, in a jaw-dropping resort that’s also home to a fine dining restaurant and a luxury spa.
What else? How about bedding down under the shining Northumberland stars, in a “part treehouse, part art installation” – as described by George Clarke on his ‘Amazing Spaces’ TV show?
We’ve got many more out-of-the-ordinary retreats to show you, each one vastly different from the last. In this glorious list, cave houses meet off-grid bothies, UFOs meet first-class aeroplane lodges, and mirror houses meet scenic Icelandic water towers.
(Come and see for yourself!)
