Jukkasjärvi, Sweden
 
How would you feel about staying in a hotel made of ice? The Icehotel, which is both a hotel and an art exhibition space, is made of natural ice and snow from one of Europe’s last wild rivers, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. Every year, different artists sculpt the walls, floors and ceilings –making the hotel a never-ending canvas. The hotel houses a couple of restaurants including the rustic Homestead restaurant, located in a building that dates back to 1768.

Fiji
 
Is there anything dreamier than falling asleep while watching fish swim in the turquoise seawater? Opened in 2008, the Poseidon Undersea Resort is located on a private island in Fiji and offers luxurious underwater suites, which include every imaginable amenity. Private bungalows are only reachable by submarine, for that utmost dreamy privacy.

Orlanda, Florida
 
Before beginning your new life as a married couple with children, why not take one last trip down memory lane and be a child for a week? Head down to Disney World with your loved one, experience the adrenaline, enjoy the slides and most of all: don’t worry about a thing. The staff at the Four Seasons will take very good care of you!

Nairobi, Kenya
 
Are you an animal lover? Giraffe Manor is a stunning building set in 12 acres of private land, located within the indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi. While the building and rooms are absolutely beautiful, the most intriguing thing about this hotel is the herd of giraffes that visit the residence daily. Here, you can feed giraffes from your window!

Located in India, the Taj Lake Palace is a picturesque marble hotel set in the middle of a lake. The hotel was originally built in the 1930s and is surrounded by the Aravalli Mountains for that wonderfully romantic view.
