Whether you want to take a relaxing vacation in Asia, a backpacking journey in South America, a road trip in the US, a cultural tour in Europe or a safari in Africa in the Taschen Great Escapes around the World is the most inspiring and eclectic collection of hotels, guesthouses, boats, lodges, spas, and houseboats that you could ask for.
Just flip through the pages of this new compilation of dreamy spots to plan your next holiday, wherever it may be. Highlights include: futuristic-looking, Star Wars-style houseboats made of bamboo poles, palm leaves, and coconut fibres; a luxury lodge and spa on a java plantation in (you guessed it) Java; an Ayurvedic spa in the Himalayas where nothing matters but peace and relaxation; Gio Ponti’s sleek blue and white hotel perched on the cliffs in Sorrento, Italy, and an elegant auberge in Napa Valley, California, where you can stay during your wine tasting tour.
Also featured is a historic ranch nestled in a Death Valley oasis, an adobe hotel in the Chilean desert and in Bolivia’s Uyuni salt desert, a hotel built entirely of salt as well as an “ecolodge” on a natural reserve in the Amazon rain forest.
Great Escapes around the World is out in hardback, priced at 46.50 euros.
