Stargazing can be one of the most magical experiences; however, not every place is perfect for that breathtaking view of the night skies. Here are five of the best star-gazing hotels across the world, offering some of the most luxurious stays- comforts with celestial wonders.
1. Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas, Maldives
At this private island resort, guests can indulge in the overwater observatory, SKY, whereby their guest stars will be viewed with expert astronomers through high-tech equipment. But the most special thing about the Maldives, as a destination, is that it comes with almost non-light pollution, thus rendering the visibility of the composition of the Milky Way and distant galaxies.
2. Explora Atacama, Chile
From this high site in the heart of the Atacama – the driest place on Earth – the lodge boasts some of the clearest skies. Many guests can expose themselves to the further wonders of the universe guided by experts while viewing through high-powered telescopes.
3. Four Seasons Resort Lanai, Hawaii
Hawaii’s star-gazing conditions are at their best with this lush resort: “Here, lie property with onsite telescopes and a private observatory, where guests can view shooting stars, planets, and nebulae as never before.”
4. Skyview Hotel, Utah, USA
Very close to Capitol Reef National Park, this hotel is located in an International Dark Sky Community, thus providing for minimum light pollution. Each room is furnished with a personal telescope that guests can use anytime to stargaze privately from their balcony.
5. Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, Namibia
An eco-luxury lodge in the Namib desert, which is one of the best places to view the night sky anywhere in the world. Guests can go out on the onsite observatory and watch the artwork among the constellations of the Southern Hemisphere, including the amazing Magellanic Clouds.
Finishing Remarks
