On a private spit of land overlooking the ocean, separated from the world by a salt water creek, stands Elsewhere, an idyllic small hotel in the former Portuguese colonly of Goa.

Elsewhere is a unique small hotel made up of four simple but charming houses located on a beach where the footprints of fishermen and turtles can still be seen. Elsewhere can only be accessed by a private bamboo footbridge.

Each house faces the sea and are built in the traditional style with thick walls, shuttered windows, cool natural flooring, and terracotta tiled sloping roofs. The furniture is a mix of traditional and eclectic. Each bedroom has a large double bed and accommodates 2 adults. Extra beds can be provided for a fee.

Along with the 4 houses, Elsewhere also has three exclusive and comfortably furnished tents in a gorgeous setting. These are the Otter Creek Tents. Each tent sleeps 2 people in a double four-poster bed and has private en-suite Western style toilet and bathroom with running water and hot shower. The tents are located on the beach facing the creek and each tent has its own sit out and bamboo jetty over the creek.

Elsewhere is run like a small hotel. Housekeeping is provided and a dining shack area is where guests order food from a menu. The cost per meal is approximately 3 to 5 GBP dependng on what is ordered from the vast menu. Elsewhere has been featured in fashion magazines and travel publications who have enthused over the hotel’s beautiful colors, dreamy location, and private setting.

25 minutes outside of Jaipur in the peaceful Indian countryside is the Farm, a beautiful hotel that opened in 2009. The property was originally a family palace destroyed by a dam. Many of the unique features around the Farm have been salvaged and reworked from elements of the original palace giving a cultural, colorful look to the surroundings.

The atmosphere is relaxed and creativity is encouraged. Classes in cooking, painting, and yoga are offered onsite. The Farm provides meals cooked from homegrown and seasonal produce for all guests, with extensive vegetarian options, served wherever you choose (poolside, perhaps?).

The hotel has 5-rooms, each with its own theme, a swimming pool on a raised terrace, on-site spa treatment room, and a recreational area with books, games, DVDs, and a wide-screen TV. Bicycles and ATV rentals are available for guests to explore the area on their own.

The Farm is constantly evolving thanks to the artistic passion of owners Ritu and Surya. 

When you arrive at 360° Leti in Uttaranchal, you’ll find four traditional cottages with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. It’s a location, perched in the Himalayas on a plateau, 7,000 feet above sea level, that encourages you to slow down, a space that begs you to ‘just be’. To get there, take an overnight train or a charter flight from Delhi, then drive for seven hours on hairpin bends through the mountains, before disembarking for a one-and-a-half-hour trek along a narrow trail along a cliff’s edge. Parent company Shakti created the ‘camp’ as an experience for travelers who’re used to luxury but crave something more ‘authentic’. A well-appointed hotel that makes a minimal impact on its environment, but shows it off to best advantage.
