10 Hotels with Nature-Filled Views
Think your screen saver’s impressive? These views are the real deal and sit just beyond your window. From glacier-fed lakes and cloud forests to fjords and savannahs, some hotels are built to bring nature to your doorstep, and straight into your line of sight. Each stay is built around what lies outside, letting daylight and weather shape the mood more than any décor ever could.
Scroll down to a hand-picked set of places where the wild takes centre stage: clifftop cottages that borrow the horizon, jungle hideaways threaded with birdsong, and desert camps beneath a sky that never powers down. They made the cut for one thing they share: nature-filled views so immersive you’ll feel more resident than guest. Explore the list below and decide which horizon you’d like to wake up to next.
Explora en Torres del Paine - All Inclusive
A low-slung timber lodge rests on the milky-blue shore of Lake Pehoé, its floor-to-ceiling windows aimed straight at the famous Cuernos del Paine and nearby Grey Glacier. Guided hikes and horseback rides (more than 40 routes) depart right from the door, so guests wake, walk out, and are immediately in the park’s raw wilderness.

Badrutt's Palace Hotel St Moritz
Opened in 1896 yet still the grande dame of the Engadine, the palace’s lake-facing rooms watch dawn turn the Alps pink, while winter evenings swap sailboats for twinkling torchlit ski runs across frozen Lake St Moritz. Settle into Le Grand Hall’s club chairs for the “living room of St Moritz” view, then step outside to skate, ski or sail on the very panorama you were admiring.
El Questro - The Homestead
A ten-suite hideaway cantilevered above Chamberlain Gorge; decks hang over 80-metre cliffs while guided hikes lead to waterfalls, thermal springs and thousand-year-old boabs. The combination of river gorge and endless savannah makes the setting feel part Grand Canyon, part African escarpment.

Six Senses Zighy Bay
Reached by speedboat, 4×4 or a bucket-list paraglide, this village-style resort sits on a mile of private sand flanked by craggy mountains and emerald sea. Stone-and-thatched villas hide their own pools and outdoor majlis, yet still deliver uninterrupted views of the fjord-like bay and sunsets that set the cliffs ablaze.
Soneva Jani
Perched across a 5.6-km-wide lagoon so clear the water seems back-lit, this hotel with overwater bungalows in the Maldives lets guests race down slides that plunge straight into the sea. At night, roofs retract for stargazing from your bed, and the resort’s strict no-plastic policy means the lagoon’s electric-blue hue remains pristine for snorkellers below.

Taj Lake Palace Udaipur
An 18th-century marble palace appears to float like a mirage on Lake Pichola. Every window frames either the Aravalli Hills or the glittering City Palace across the water, while sunset boat transfers turn a simple check-in into a cinematic glide through golden light.
Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa
Wedged between Table Mountain’s Twelve Apostles range and the open Atlantic, the property offers sunset-facing rooms, glass-walled sea-view spas and hiking trails that start at the back door and end at high-alpine fynbos lookouts. After dark, stars replace surfers on the horizon thanks to the hotel’s near-zero light pollution.
Mashpi Lodge
Wrapped in glass and perched at 900 m, the lodge feels like a boutique observatory suspended in mist. Guests pedal the silent Sky Bike through the canopy and join biologists tracking newly discovered species, all while 400-plus bird calls drift past their balconies.
Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort
Set where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet, hillside suites gaze over jungle and the Mekong River valley. Days mix conservation (walking with rescued elephants or sleeping in transparent “Jungle Bubbles”) with horizon-wide sunrises that paint three countries in one sweep.
Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort - Igloos and Chalets
Glass-roofed igloos turn the aurora into a private light show viewable from a duvet, while log-and-glass “kelo” cabins add saunas and wood stoves for polar-night coziness. From late August to April, staff issue alerts when green ribbons ripple overhead, so no guest misses the magic.
From Patagonian granite and Kimberley gorges to Lapland’s dancing lights, these ten stays prove that a hotel can be both sanctuary and observation deck. They remind us that the most memorable check-ins are the ones where the lobby doors open onto something wild, timeless and utterly unfiltered.
