  The locals know a good thing when they see it. Doubles from $900. —Jacqueline Gifford Advertisement 12 of 56 For this dramatic repurposing of a waterfront grain silo, superstar architect Thomas Heatherwick added pillowed-glass panels to the exterior, bringing Cape Town’s scenery (Table Mountain and the city on one side, the harbor on the other) into all 28 rooms. The interiors by owner Liz Biden are just as dazzling, and her choice of colorful, contemporary African art befits the hotel’s location above the new Zeitz MOCAA. Don’t miss the rooftop pool, which overlooks Lion’s Head. Doubles from $1,150. —Lila Battis Advertisement 13 of 56 Far from Tanzania’s main tourist circuit — Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Kilimanjaro — Asilia’s latest lodge is the first luxury opening in the vast expanse of Ruaha National Park. The eight standalone bungalows, tucked neatly among hulking granite boulders, have retractable walls and louvred shutters that guests can cast wide for unobstructed views of the surrounding savanna.

  Handmade wooden headboards, dip-dyed mosquito nets, and stone wash basins pay homage to Ruaha’s natural resources, as do the raw-wood ceilings, designed to evoke the park’s baobab-studded plains. Ruaha has some of the largest lion and elephant populations in Tanzania, and you may catch a glimpse of them from the lodge’s communal spaces, like the well-appointed gin bar. At sunset, head to the lofty infinity pool — it’s the best vantage point, and particularly striking against the blood-orange sky. Doubles from $1,577. —Lacy Morris Advertisement 14 of 56 The isolated island of Madagascar has long been known as an adventure and wildlife destination; where the unique landscapes and abundance of endemic plants and animals far outweighed the lack of creature comforts. But thanks to the unveiling of Miavana, situated on the private island of Nosy Ankao off the country’s northeastern shore, travelers can now recover from their daytime adventures in ultra-luxe accommodations.

  The resort includes 14 contemporary villas and communal areas, with pale stone walls and turrets hand-cut by local masons. The glass-fronted pavilions have a dose of French and vintage flavor: Breton-stripe tubes float in the glimmering private pools, mid-century-style furniture fills the rooms, and soft turquoise curtains line the floor-to-ceiling windows. Lazing by the water is high on most guests’ agendas, as are aquatic activities such as snorkeling, diving, fishing and stand-up paddleboarding. Between all this, there’s plenty of time to see Madagascar’s wealth of wildlife: the hotel can arrange helicopter safaris to the mainland, or outings to a nearby island where golden crown lemurs can be spotted scuttling through the trees. Villas from $2,500.

  Mary Holland Advertisement 15 of 56 Tokyo got a jolt of energy last May when Trunk opened its doors on a small lane between the neon blare of Wholesale water bottle moulding Shibuya and the loud costumes of Harajuku. With its frequent retail pop-ups and a convenience store selling local treats, the 15-room property brings the action of the street indoors; a rooftop wedding chapel adds to the charm. Guestrooms feel like hip private residences with expanses of warm woods and neutral fabrics, bespoke furniture by Osaka company Truck, retro-style tiled bathrooms, and balconies with aromatic herb gardens. Downstairs, guests sip artisan coffee and craft cocktails in the atmospheric lounge, while at intimate Kitchen restaurant, it’s all about contemporary Japanese fare like Wagyu hamburgers and Shibuya-made burrata. Doubles from $443. —Danielle Demetriou Advertisement 16 of 56 With remoteness comes slow-moving development, so when the Conrad Bora Bora opened its doors after a 15-month renovation, we could hardly wait to check it out.
