The world is a whole of hotels that offer luxury and comfort. Still, some exceptional options exist for those seeking more private and secluded getaways and hotels. From the lush rainforests of Bali to the rugged mountains of Patagonia, these hotels offer seclusion and tranquility in some of the most stunning locations on earth. The Fogo Island Inn in Canada is a perfect example. It is located on a remote island off the coast of Newfoundland, offering breathtaking views of the North Atlantic Ocean and a chance to experience the unique culture of the island’s inhabitants.
Another notable secluded hotel is the Amangiri in Utah, set in the heart of the American Southwest. It is surrounded by towering mesas and canyons, providing a sense of solitude and serenity. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape or want to disconnect from the world, these secluded hotels offer the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
