Read: 'Remote Places to Stay'
For Dreaming of: Incredibly romantic, far flung hotels
Book
by Lannoo Publishers, 2016
This collection of 22 hotels, inns, resorts, and camps reads more like fodder for a bucket list than chic coffee table book. With thoughtful essays on remoteness peppered in-between, each destination is presented like a dream, be it a $80-per-night pension, or a $4000-per-night private island. Any of them will afford you the greatest luxury of all: freedom from… The book will take you to places like Iceland, Italy, Alaska, Patagonia, Easter Island, Tasmania, Namibia, and Vanuatu. Even our featured hotel in Newfoundland (see our Travel Research section), the Fogo Island Inn, is found within its pages.
In his introduction, Pico Iyer suggests:
“The more space you have around you, the more space you discover within yourself. The less you have in the room, the more you have to bring to others. And the fewer worries you have, the wealthier you feel, in the deepest sense.”
Where to find it: Your local, independent bookstore.
