Situated at the foot of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa, the Kasbah du Toubkal sits on a rocky crag 5,900 feet (1,800 m) up in the Atlas Mountains. The mountains are just 40 miles (64 km) from the city of Marrakech, Morocco. The restored fort is reached by a fifteen-minute mule ride from the tiny Berber village of Imlil. The Kasbah dose not describe itself as a hotel, it is more an extension of the hospitality. Photo by: Martin and Kathy Dady

It is hard to imagine a more romantic arrival. After rumbling over gravel roads between fairy-tale forests along Chile’s remote but spectacular Carretera Austral, you come, at last, to a tranquil little hamlet on the edge of a fjord: Puyuhuapi.

It seems an unlikely place for a luxurious spa, and yet inside this beautiful structure there are immaculate pools, fed by three kinds of natural waters. There are also healing mineral water hot springs too. From this superb range of combinations, the owners have created a wide specialty of treatments which transformed the guests’ well-being.
