Rooms with the most romantic views

The Singita Sweni Lodge in Kruger National Park takes “glamping” to a whole new level. The suites are fashioned as glass boxes with wood, designed to float above the river with each tree house connected to the other via an elevated wooden walkway nestled in the branches of surrounding trees. But the most striking space is the magical outdoor shower and a star bed with a mosquito tent that makes it perfect for intimate camp-outs.

There’s nothing more romantic in our books than an unending horizon with just the marvels of nature to gaze at. And that’s what the Amangini in Utah offers. Imagine an infinity pool lit with slow burning fires that match the iridescent sunset over snow-capped mountains. For all you nature lovers, this one is calling you.

It’s hard to beat a room that comes with a private and tranquil wraparound terrace that offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Lion's Head and the Twelve Apostles mountain range.

“Far away from the maddening crowds, under a starry sky,” could be the opening line of your romantic story. The good folks at Nkwichi in Malawi will put out what they call the “star bed” on a deserted, virgin beach surrounded by breathtaking baobabs. This one is an unforgettable experience, we promise.

How can we talk of romantic rooms with a view and miss the Eiffel? It’s just against our very Parisian heart. The Penthouse at the Four Seasons Hotel George V imparts the sense of staying in a private Parisian residence. With sweeping views of the city’s architectural icons, including the Eiffel Tower, American Cathedral, Sacré-Coeur Basilica and the roofs of the Opéra, the Madeleine, the Pantheon and Les Invalides from its private terrace, it is by far the hottest on our list.
