The hotels listed below might not be ideal for anyone afraid of heights, but they offer breathtaking views from unique locations like cliffs, glaciers, or treetops.

This hotel offers the most spectacular views on the entire island. Perched on a hill 300 meters above the Bay of Naples, it features 53 luxurious rooms and suites. Plus, there’s a brand-new two-level infinity pool. If you’ve got the budget, consider booking the Farouk Suite, which was regularly reserved by the King of Egypt, even though he only stayed for a few weeks each year.

Ronda is a captivating city in Andalusia, situated nearly 760 meters above sea level. The hotel Parador de Ronda is located right on the edge of a gorge carved by the Guadalevin River, dividing the city into two parts. Every corner of the property, from the pool and gardens to the rooms and restaurants, offers a panoramic view of the El Tajo gorge. To truly grasp how precariously the hotel sits on the cliffside, seeing it from afar is a must.

This is a hotel that few can reach, both because of its cost and its challenging location. It’s a pod hotel that operates only during winter. Located in Les Cerniers, a small village at the foot of the Dents du Midi mountain in Switzerland, the White Pod offers a unique, eco-friendly ice hotel experience. You can camp on the ice in futuristic white pods, with natural lighting from the northern lights visible through a clear sky ceiling when desired. The pods come equipped with wood-burning stoves, warm blankets, rugs, and a mini-bar stocked with liqueur and brandy. Imagine camping on the ice with the aurora borealis lighting up the sky, music floating through the air, and the cozy atmosphere created by smoke rising from the chimneys of the white tents.

This is the only hotel in Mount Huangshan, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors come from all over to see this famous Chinese mountain, featured in numerous legends and literary works. While you can reach the hotel by cable car, the more adventurous might opt for the three-hour hike. The experience becomes even more epic when you consider that nearly all the supplies for the hotel arrive via this same route.

How about spending a night in a treehouse in South India’s Wayanad tropical forest? If you say yes, you’ll get there by walking on an overpass made from bamboo, coconut leaves, and coconut fiber. Plus, all guests are invited to plant a sapling.
