Shhh! These Retreats Have All Featured On TV’s The World’s Most Secret Hotels

Can you keep a secret?

The popular Channel Four TV series, The World’s Most Secret Hotels, is a celebration of those deliciously ‘hidden’ places to stay, spread right across the globe.

Places so unique, creative, and remote, that once you’ve stayed, you’re reluctant to tell anybody about them, for fear of breaking their enchanting spell.

Well… (whispers) our listings feature some of these very places!

Providing a true paradise-like holiday setting, one is a converted defence-tower on the southernmost tip of mainland Greece, with luxury furnishings and the most mesmerising sea-and-mountain views.

Another is an architect-designed glass-and-aluminium creation that will make you feel as though you’ve just touched down in the natural midst of the Scottish Highlands… aboard your very own spaceship.

Snuggle up in tartan blankets, your faithful four-legged friend by your side, as you watch the scenic brewing of an oncoming storm from the pod’s magnificent dragonfly windows.

Oh, and then there’s the sleek, state-of-the-art, copper-clad glamping pod with a Scandi-style log-cabin bathroom, blissfully secluded in rural Wales and expertly crafted by a former Rolls-Royce engineer.

Consider this your exclusive invitation to browse these wonderfully secretive hideaways at your own leisure…

…just as long as you promise not to spread the word!
