3) Tree House Lodge, TANZANIA

Boutique hotels are the absolute masterpiece among luxury hotels because they combine not only exclusive amenities, but also guarantee true seclusion and are an oasis of peace during  holidays in Tanzania. Because one of the best hotels of this type is in our opinion located in Africa. It is a hotel consisting of ecological cottages furnished in the best style and with a range of amenities, located in a national park.

Wooden apartments inspired by local architecture are a place to relax during an exciting safari. They provide a romantic atmosphere, mood lighting, rustic furniture and an environment distinguished by rich fauna and flora.

What is luxury?

For us, a luxury hotel must meet a number of criteria. And we don't just mean spas, massage parlors, infinity pools, private jacuzzis and excellent restaurants, because that should be the bare minimum when we talk about true luxury. But a properly selected location is equally important. Not only at the end of the world, in an exotic country like Indonesia or Tanzania, but also away from the local hustle and bustle, large all-inclusive resorts and loud crowds.

Bali & pristine Sumba

INDONESIA - Ubud, Nusa Dua
An island of gods and demons, a thousand temples, tropical beaches, smoking volcanoes, picturesque rice fields and culinary delights, where life is subordinated to religion, the phases of the moon and ancient traditions.

The key is to go where most tourists don't go, where you won't see even a half-tacky souvenir, and instead you'll spend a fantastic time in the company of only discreet, full-class service, in a naturally beautiful place, where a luxury hotel was built that perfectly harmonizes with nature and uses its advantages. This is what luxury means to us. Are you up for it? 😉 Which option do you choose? A vacation of a lifetime in the Maldives or maybe a trip to hot Tanzania?
