Описание: Want to see inside the world’s wildest resorts and hotels, including 2 Aman resorts, secluded treehouses, and a floating camp? 2024 was the year I explored over 200 hotels and stayed at 70. In this video, I’m counting down my 10 favorite resorts, from ultra-luxe hideaways to hidden gems, showcasing jaw-dropping design, idyllic settings, and unforgettable experiences. These aren’t just places to stay—they’re destinations in themselves, with glamping tents that redefine comfort, beachfront eco-casitas, and even a restored 15th-century fort. This list has something for everyone who loves unique stays and great design.

From Costa Rica’s off-grid luxury at Pacuare Lodge to the unparalleled elegance of Amanbagh in India, each resort on this list offers something extraordinary. Picture yourself sipping cocktails on a hot tub deck 30 feet from the Pacific, or stargazing in the Rajasthani desert from one of the most stunning pools I’ve ever seen. And yes, the service at Aman-I-Khas is so good, I barely left the resort. Whether it’s incredible architecture, breathtaking natural surroundings, or a vibe that’s pure magic, these stays have earned their spots on my 2024 favorites.

Why should you trust us?

The Swank Guide is supported by you. Our recommendations are 100% unbiased; we choose what we think is best. We’ve partnered with Booking.com because that ensures we can get you the lowest price. In most cases, you also have ample time to cancel.

Our goal is to save you time by finding the best hotels and experiences for you, and eliminate the stress of paying for something before you understand if it’s right for you. We work with total editorial independence. That means nothing appears in our videos as a recommendation unless we’ve tried it and loved it. These are the hotels and activities we choose for ourselves and recommend to our family and friends.

We strive to be the most trusted, the most transparent, boutique hotel recommendation service…. ever. If you choose to use our link to book a hotel, you are supporting our work. You can go around us – it won’t save you any money. This hotel commission fee supports us as we travel the world looking for the best places. Running a business costs money, and this is how we cover most of our expenses. We curate unusual, independent, and sustainable boutique hotel experiences. We’re a small team of 3.5 people – for now. Our founder Don is an American who’s lived about half his life overseas and has traveled to over 60 countries – always looking for that perfect hotel, and often being disappointed. Before starting Swank, Don worked as an entrepreneur in the clean energy space, and then sustainable housing – one of the reasons sustainability is in our DNA.
