Bubbletent, Australia

Located in Capertree Valley (200 km from Syndey), Bubbletent Australia is an off-grid pop-up glamping tent situated on a secluded part of a working farm - overlooking the second biggest canyons in the world - which doubles as one of the 50 IBA (Important Bird Area) sanctuaries around the globe for bird watching. Sleep under the stars in a clear and inflatable bubbletent in superior comfort and convenience in the remoteness of the country. The three clear Bubbletents are 11 metres in diameter and feature a spacious bed, eco-friendly bathrooms and running water, plus you are provided a telescope and iPad loaded with playlists and apps to help with your stargazing and wildlife watching. From £174 per night.

L'Albereta, Italy 

North of Italy, high in the hills of Lombardy region is the setting for this picturesque boutique property, oozing with traditional charm and character. The most famous room in the hotel is room 404, the 'Cabriolet Suite'. The Cabriolet Suite isn't just another stylish guestroom at this Relais & Châteaux hotel. By night, the suite adorned with heavy jewel-toned draperies and lavish marble becomes an open-air hideaway thanks to a retractable roof that unfurls the night sky at the push of a button. Stare at the stars from the balcony overlooking the surrounding vineyards, and afterwards, take the views to bed. During the annual Perseid meteor shower, known as the tears of San Lorenzo, the suite is particularly sought after for an unforgettable night under the stars.

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, Finnish Lapland

Set within the picturesque countryside of Saariselk - snuggle up for the night with the Northern Lights at this igloo village in Finnish Lapland. The igloos are made of glass, and have been designed so that windows don't frost over or steam up and have sensational 360 degree views. Each has a comfy bed and en-suite bathroom, providing a cosy viewing area from which to observe the stars or, conditions permitting, the aurora. During the coldest part of the season, the accommodation range extends to traditional snow igloos, providing the option of a more authentic Lapland experience. The Northern Lights (Aurora borealis) are visible generally from late August to late April. 

Amangiri, US

Located in a protected valley in Canyon Point with sweeping views, the luxury 5-star resort offers both adrenaline-fueled adventure experiences and a peaceful retreat.
