Who says that one needs to compromise on luxury when interacting with nature? In efforts to be more conscious of the environment, many eco-conscious hotels are providing travelers with more nature-friendly options during their stay. One cool way hotels are allowing their guest to interact with the nature around them is through alfresco-style rooms. For a memorable experience in nature, spend a night sleeping alfresco at one of these five incredible hotels.
La Valise Tulum, Mexico
La Valise Tulum is an 11-room luxury boutique hotel in South Tulum. The hotel allows each guest to experience some of Mexico’s best views thanks to both its beachfront and jungle view rooms.
For a night under the stars with the sound of crashing waves around you, guest can book their master suite, which comes with a king-size bed that rolls out onto the balcony. The master suite is built under a massive palapa roof and comes with its own private entrance with direct beach access.
Singita Lebombo Lodge, South Africa
Singita Lebombo Lodge in South Africa is perfect for safarigoers who want to enjoy the privacy of their own room with air conditioning and the option to sleep outside.

Upon request, staff can turn the balcony bed into an outdoor oasis with high-thread-count sheets, a fluffy comforter, and a mosquito net. The balconies are optimally positioned to catch fiery sunrise views, and it’s common to spot elephants, baboons, crocodiles, and more.
