5 Offbeat Resort Destinations for a Memorable Vacation

When you need to get away from it all, many hotels and resorts may appear too similar or boring to stay at every year. With new boutique experiences such as the Ocean View Resort and niche concept hotels popping up all over the globe, this year why not do something a little different and choose a vacation experience that you will never forget.

Take a journey with us now as we look at 5 of the more uncommon, offbeat and downright odd vacation resorts to spark your holiday imagination.

For a vacation full of sheer luxury and opulence, then nothing comes as close to delivering than the Mardan Palace Hotel Resort in Turkey. Built at a cost of over $1.4Bn, the resort features hundreds of luxuriously decorated rooms and suites to choose from. Choose wisely though, as some of the more expensive rooms go for up to $18,000 per night!

The resort features a super-sized swimming pool that takes half an hour to cross in its specifically made gondolas, and features a luxury spa centre featuring real snow. If you want a little luxury for your holidays but can’t stretch to the eye-popping $18,000 per night costs, you can always have a little luxury at home thanks to the myriad of fun to be had from Great Ocean Road accom for a fraction of the price.

 

2. Igloo Village

This wonderful slice of Greenland is home to the more adventurous vacationeers thanks to its sub-zero temperatures all year round as well as its outdoor living facilities. Why not spend a morning visiting one of the deserted villages, followed by a dog-sled trip to one of the fjords for a day out, followed by spending a night in one of the many ice caves dotted around the area.

3. Seagaia Ocean Dome

This holiday location isn’t for the faint-hearted. This Mexican tourist destination known locally as La Isla De Las Munecas is possibly one of the creepiest destinations on this list.
