Luxury has many facets - and is already exceptional by definition. But what if you were to top it all off? Go a little further? Then unique concepts emerge that have what it takes to create memories for eternity. Like these 7 unusual luxury ideas:
Sleeping among elephants
The Anantara Golden Triangle in Thailand offers its guests a special experience. They can spend a night in luxuriously furnished, transparent bubbles. The special feature: The accommodation is located in the middle of the natural habitat of elephants. From a slightly elevated platform, you can watch the breathtaking starry sky as you fall asleep. And in the morning, you can have breakfast surrounded by the peaceful pachyderms. Those who want a little more luxury can rent the more spacious Jungle Bubble Lodge with private chef, two bedrooms, terrace and plunge pool.

Spend the night in the palace
Once a retreat for the royal family, the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur/India was transformed
into a hotel in 1963. It appears to float on the waters of Lake Pichola. An effect that is further enhanced by the architecture. The view from the accommodations falls across the water to the City Palace and the surrounding hills. Guests can choose from a total of 65 luxurious rooms and 18 suites. As if its spectacular appearance were not enough, the entire property is characterized by absolute luxury. The Taj Lake Palace also became famous for its role in the James Bond film "Octopussy".

Living in the desert
The Memories Aicha Luxury Camp in Jordan is a desert dream come true. Here you can spend the night in luxurious, spacious tents (complete with four-poster bed, gold-decorated upholstered furniture and marble bathrooms. And on the other, in dreamlike glass igloos with spectacular views. Naturally, all accommodation is air-conditioned and equipped with running water. The surroundings - Wadi Rum - look like a mystical Martian landscape. It goes without saying that the food is also like something from another planet.

Retreat on the train Perhaps this luxury hotel is the longest hotel in the world. It is housed in a train. And it stands on a bridge at the entrance to Kruger National Park in South Africa. We are talking about Kruger Shalati - The Train on the Bridge. Guests have 31 rooms at their disposal, 24 of which are in train carriages and 7 in the "Bridge House". The hotel is surrounded by nothing but nature. And thanks to its elevated position on the bridge, there are endless views in every direction. Top tip: The pool, from which you can virtually go on safari without having to leave it. Another great thing is that this train is never late. Because it never even sets off.

Vacation in the jungle
Capella Ubud/Bali takes "forest bathing" to the next level. Surrounded by the lush greenery of the jungle, the tented villas are beautiful hideaways that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Masterfully designed by Bill Bensley, they have an air of adventure and history about them. All accommodations have their own private saltwater pool.

Spend the night with Nemo
At The Manta Resort in Tanzania, instead of going "up high", you go "down low". The resort also has an Underwater Room. It is located under a kind of private pontoon in the middle of the conservation area. It is surrounded by the colorful coral reef of the Indian Ocean. Guests sleep with a view of the fish, which are attracted by the light and curiously swim around the bedroom.

Yachting next level
The Prana by Atzaró is said to be the most luxurious yacht in the world. One or two shipowners probably still have a say in this. What is certain, however, is that the ship, which has over 900 square meters of living space on four decks, is "one of a kind". Fully equipped with a spa, elegant suites and private chefs, it sails to the most beautiful destinations in the world. For example, Komodo National Park and Raja Ampat are on the program. The special feature: The Prana is a 55-meter-long Phinsi yacht, built entirely from wood. By hand.
