Vomo Resort Fiji
When it comes to landscapes, the best seats are in the nosebleed section. While all the villas at Vomo Resort in Fiji are spectacular, the hillside villas offer uninterrupted panoramas of Fiji's clear blue water, the coral that lies beneath it and the resort's other private island, Vomo Lailai. Enjoy the view from your own private terrace.

Luangwa Safari House
If you stay at the Luangwa Safari House, you don't need to head out into the bush on a jeep to spot elephants or impalas. While the Neil Rocher-designed four-bedroom villa attracts luxury-seeking travelers from all over the world, it's not the house that entices the animals. Located on the edge of a lagoon system, the surrounding area is frequented by large herds of elephants, impalas and giraffes that use the lagoon as a source of water and food, so don't be frightened if you notice a herd of elephants waltzing by your bathroom window. That's the norm.
