Across the globe there are some incredible bedrooms and suites available to guests looking for something special. Think lavish suites with huge volumes of space, double vanity sinks in marble bathrooms, roaring log fireplaces in the sumptuous living rooms, walk-in wardrobes to get lost in and balconies adorned with hot-tubs and mountain or sea views. There are a select number of bedrooms to stay in that are different from the unadulterated luxury. That might be because of a unique location, a slide down into the sea from your private water villa or floor to ceiling 360 degree views of the savannah. Below you will find a rundown of some of our picks of unique places to stay if you are looking for a bedroom with a difference…

Water Retreat With Slide, Soneva Jani, Maldives

Water villas in the Maldives have become somewhat iconic over the past few years and those at the Sovena Jani are some of the most impressive. Many social media posts have shown these with the slides from the villas heading down into the brilliant blue waters of the Indian Ocean. At the Soneva Jani the choice of one to four bedroom villas with slides is definitely unique. In the master bedrooms of the one, two and three bedroom villas the roof is retractable so that guests can stargaze before nodding off to sleep each evening.
