10. BELMOND HOTEL DAS CATARATAS, BRAZIL<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

The only hotel located within Brazil\u2019s Iguassu National Park, Belmond Hotel das Cataratas enjoys an unrivalled location in the jungle, just a short stroll from Iguazu Falls, one of the\u00a0world\u2019s most spectacular waterfalls<\/a>. Due to its location, guests have exclusive access to the magnificent surroundings in the evening and at dawn, when the park is closed to other visitors. A Portuguese-colonial residence, this classic luxury hotel is redolent with the atmosphere of lazy days lounging on a veranda or beneath sub-tropical palms.

      8. BELMOND EL ENCANTO, SANTA BARBARA, USA<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

A Forbes Five Star resort, this enchanting escape features 92 bungalow-style suites and guest rooms with sweeping views over Santa Barbara and the Pacific Coast.

          Located in the beating heart of the Riviera Maya, Belmond Maroma feels more like a Mexican hacienda than a luxury hotel.

Beautifully renovated and fully reimagined, the resort boasts light, airy, art-filled rooms by acclaimed designer Tara Bernerd. Beachfront restaurants offer zingingly fresh and mouth-watering cuisine while the bars serve up artisanal mezcals and rare wines. The property is also home to the best spa on the Riviera Maya.<\/p>\n
