6 best luxury hotel beds to try after the coronavirus pandemic is finally over
If, like us, you’re already dreaming of your first getaway after Covid-19 cases have cleared, then this list of the most relaxing and luxurious hotel beds to unwind and reset in is just for you
During these unsettling times it’s not just travel that’s on hold, but also a good night’s sleep. We look forward to when we can once again holiday safely and hit the sack in peace, but for now here are some of the world’s best beds that are worth dreaming of until we can get to them in person.
Six Senses Bhutan
Bhutan is often heralded as one of the happiest countries in the world and we firmly believe this could be down to the great quality of sleep available there. Look no further than the beds at the Six Senses lodges in Bhutan’s Thimphu, Paro, Gangtey and Punakha: king-size, with frames constructed from natural timber and topped with organic Beaumont & Brown linen. When you leave your room it’s likely to be for a famous Six Senses spa treatment before you slip back under the covers for a night of pure, unadulterated shut-eye.
Camellia Hills, Sri Lanka
Beautiful countryside, rolling estates and a backdrop of fresh plantation green make Sri Lanka’s Hill Country a thoroughly relaxing affair. After hiking the lush landscape, white water rafting and learning about local life, cosy up at Camellia Hills in Hatton. More colonial private house than hotel, opt for one of the four rooms with a lakeside vista, fling open the French doors onto your private terrace and languish on your four-poster bed swathed in mosquito netting. As the temperature here gets cool in the evenings, utilise the pretty hot-water bottles and extra blankets and dive into a good book before lights out.
Awasi Patagonia, Chile
Impeccable design, awe-inspiring views of the Torres del Paine and incredible surrounding wildlife make this collection of Relais & Châteaux designer villas world-class … and that’s before we even get onto the bedrooms. Once inside, king-size beds and big shuttered windows lure you into a deep sense of serenity, alongside warm sheepskin rugs, wool blankets and wood-burning stoves. In-room massages can be arranged, and each villa has an outdoor hot tub, perfect for soaking under the stars, so that’s your bedtime ritual sorted.
