内容説明

Whether you want to take a relaxing vacation in Asia, a backpacking journey in South America, a road trip in the USA, a cultural tour in Europe, or a safari in Africa, we've got 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: in Kerala, India, futuristic-looking, Star Wars-style houseboats made of bamboo poles, palm leaves, and coconut fibers; the best place for a delectable cup of joe: 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; a lush Kenyan open-walled hut fashioned from tree trunks and shielded from the sun by a sumptuous thatched roof; Gio Ponti's sleek blue and white hotel perched on the cliffs in Sorrento, Italy; an elegant auberge in Napa Valley, California where you can stay during your wine tasting tour; a historic ranch nestled in a Death Valley oasis; an adobe hotel in the Chilean desert; in Bolivia's Uyuni salt desert, a hotel built entirely of salt; and, an "ecolodge" on a natural reserve in the Amazon rain forest.

内容説明

This title offers inspiring getaways from California to Zanzibar. The second installment of Angelika Taschen's round-up of the world's most exceptional hotels and retreats is packed with enough awe-inspiring photos and descriptions to make anyone want to quit working and take off to travel the world. Alas, most of us will have to content ourselves with a fabulous holiday now and then, for which this collection provides an ample and exotic range of destinations to choose from. Highlights of this title include: a shrine to 60s-70s kitch - a California inn where Liberace would have felt right at home; shabby-chic bungalows on Highway 1 in Big Sur; luxurious residences nestled on the Ubud hillside overlooking the Ayung River in Bali; oceanside bungalows at a pousada along an archipelago in Brazil; camping in 'royal style' in the Indian desert; luxury tented camp on an island in the best game-viewing location in Botswana; secluded hand-woven bandas on Zanzibar, off the coast of Kenya; a hotel-museum full of contemporary art and decorated by artists on the coast of Sicil; and, sumptuous Provencal spa retreat in the south of France.
