Holidaying out there...

What: Unusual accommodation

Where: Cappadocia Cave Resort, Turkey; Poseidon Undersea Resort, Fiji Islands; Green Magic Nature Resort, Vythri, Kerala; Ice Hotel, Sweden to name only a few.

Why: Imagine waking up to the sound of rustling trees, sleeping in a room made of ice or gazing at the marine life through your room window situated under the sea’s surface. Hotels today go beyond providing just standard rooms and impeccable service to their customers. The varied accommodation options available range from unique to funky to absolute bizarre. The experience of living in such creatively designed spaces many a time transcends the discovery of the destination these hotels are located in. And the options are unlimited:

What: A cruise

Where: All over the world!

Why: A cruise offers the perfect mix of adventure, enjoyable activities, making new friends, and yet being able to coil up in your cosy solitary space. Dance performances, live music, karaoke, fun activities and games such as learning various dance forms and laughter yoga are things to look forward to on a cruise. Cruises also present true luxurious living through their many amenities; a fully-equipped gym, a basketball court, a casino, spa and salon, pubs, disco and even duty-free shopping are some of the most common ones. Most of all, it is value for money.

What: Road trips

Where: On the road…

Why: There’s no better feeling than travelling on endless roads, bumping into strangers and being mesmerised by plethoric vistas. Being on the road lets you encounter some of the most absurd, yet pleasant sights accessible to mankind. Chances are you’ll come back with hundreds of stories to tell, sharing a cutting chai with strangers and the discovery of unknown, nondescript places. Aside from this, the entire experience of driving is itself magnified. Anyone who loves to drive will tell you what a thrill it is to ride on just miles and miles of open road.
