A fantastic ........ or should i say "cavetatstic" way to commune with nature and still lap up luxury. These accommodation options have really raised the bar. Now you can have two vacations in one(Nature and luxury). One can be one with nature, absorb history, go on Safaris, swim in the ocean and still sleep soundly between snug sheets, and have access to the world via internet/televisions. It is an experience of a life time and there are a couple of these "best of both worlds" type cave accommodations.
1. Cederberg Mountains, South Africa
Spend your night under the stars, wild and free but beneath comfy sheets.
You don't have to sleep under the stars though, there are rooms set in the side of Cederberg mountains in South Africa. This terrain has been modified, whilst still maintaining its awe inspiring natural essence. It has a landing strip if you have your own wings.
At nights, you can enjoy dinner whilst keeping warm by an open fire. One also gets to climb rocks, go mountain biking, quad bike Safaris, star gazing tours, reptile education and one more thing .... it is Wi-Fi enabled so you get to be one with nature without being cut off from the world.
2. Negril, Jamaica
The Sapphire sea is your back yard. This location with its picturesque views makes it ideal for a cozy destination wedding and you get to stay on for the honeymoon. It exudes the ideal "home away from home" ambiance. This nature reserve turned travelers bliss offers a sea view Spa, Jacuzzi, Sauna, private hot tubs, salt water swimming pool, and its signature Blackwell rum bar, a few steps from the Sapphire sea.
3.Cappadocia, Turkey
The word "Nirvana" comes to mind at the sight of this awesomeness. This mountain getaway dates back to 5th and 6th Century but was renovated in the early 2000's to make it embody the paradise that it is now. There is a 19th Century Greek mansion on the grounds to remind you of its history. Perfect location for every thing and at every time.
4.Santorini, Greece
This arcady is built into the caves discovered on the Caldera side of Oia in the Greek island of Santorini. This resort accords you breath taking views across the Santorini Caldera, the volcanic island Nea Kameni and the deep blue Aegean Sea. Self Catering is an option and yes please.... it is wi-fi enabled.
5. Arkansas, United States of America
Located in the beautiful Buffalo National river area, this mountain view lodge is family friendly and ideal for vacations. The Buffalo trails are ideal for thrill seekers and zip-lining is available to grant you a birds eye view. There is also the option of hot air balloons rising from the Valley beneath the cave entrance and goes all the way up and above the mountain side. MAGNIFIQUE!!
