The National Geographic Society announced the launch of the National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World, a collection of boutique hotels in extraordinary places around the world with a demonstrated commitment to sustainability, authenticity and excellence. This collection of 24 boutique hotels on six continents was selected by National Geographic experts during an extensive evaluation process and add to the non-profit organization’s travel portfolio, which includes National Geographic Expeditions, Traveler magazine, travel books, photography courses and the NatGeoTravel digital and photographic social media community.
From thatched bungalows nestled in the coastal jungles of Costa Rica’s pristine Osa Peninsula to luxury tented suites overlooking Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the Australian Outback, every lodge in the collection was judged on criteria such as design and character, guest experience and quality of service, and sustainability practices.
Each lodge offers a special “National Geographic Exclusive” experience to guests who book their stay through National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World.
