10 Luxury Boutique Hotels You Won’t Believe Exist

There’s nothing more disappointing than dropping cash on what ends up being a commercial, very non VIP hotel experience that feels more like an amusement park than a luxurious retreat. These gorgeous boutique stays stretch the definition of hotel and are worth the splurge.

1. Over Yonder Cay, Caribbean
This heavenly, private oasis was transformed from a previously remote fishing outpost. An intimate cruise is combined with blood-pumping water sports and a winding trail surrounding the island. This stunning destination has its own reef and is teeming with biodiversity. It houses up 28 guests in its decadent villas.

2. Hotel TwentySeven, The Netherlands
You’v never experienced Amsterdam like this before. With just 16 rooms and a sensual, glamorous undertone that is darkly romantic, there’s never been a better place to run away with your lover to. Overlooking Dam Square, this gorgeous hotel has probiotic, in-house brewed ingredients, a genie-like butler in each sweet, and utterly luxurious bedding and furniture.

3. Riad Kheirredine, Morocco
Many experience the bustling Marrakech through more rustic means of accommodation, but the beautiful, almost meditative Riad takes you beyond that experience into one fit for royalty. With fourteen rooms, unforgettable terraces, exquisite culinary possibilities, and delicious wine, this oasis is a relaxing haven within a lively city. End your day with a dip in their refreshingly chilly plunge pool.

4. The Harkness Hotel, Idahox
You would never suspect that this chandelier and skylight laden, luxe hotel was over 100 years old. Against an incomparable scenic background, this 10-room hotel includes a full spa and salon which doesn’t slack on elite techniques or products. With century old fixtures, these suites have old world charm and are nearby Pebble Creek Ski Area, blessing hotel residents with 54 trails sprawled out over 10 acres.
