Top 16 Stunning Nature Resorts to Visit in 2025

When you need to get away from it all, there’s nothing like total immersion in nature. From a serene retreat in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains to a tropical oasis on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, these are the 16 most incredible new nature resorts in the world.

01. Olinto – Ouirgane, Morocco

Olinto is a dream realized by Italian owner Fabrizio Ruspoli di Poggio Suasa. Tired of city life, he sold the beloved hotel La Maison Arabe in Marrakesh after 25 years and bought a farm in the Ouirgane Valley about an hour south. He has since transformed it into an elegant getaway enveloped by the Atlas Mountains. Nine guest houses — three with heated infinity pools on their rooftop terraces — are surrounded by 10 acres of olive groves, gardens, and wisteria. A Moroccan-Mediterranean restaurant uses herbs and vegetables grown on site. Immerse yourself in tranquility here. olinto.net; doubles from $745. —Gisela Williams

02. andBeyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge – Tanzania

In April 2020, heavy rains caused the Grumeti River to flood this cherished Tanzanian lodge, leading to its complete rebuild. AndBeyond collaborated closely with original designers to create a property that blends seamlessly into the landscape. The low-slung buildings curve along the riverbanks, and each of the 10 stand-alone, semi-tented suites boasts floor-to-ceiling windows with a veranda overlooking the water. Here, guests may observe hippos splashing and crocodiles lurking. One of the more memorable experiences includes dinner in the bush: roaring fires lit my path while the sounds of distant whooping hyenas filled the air. andbeyond.com; suites from $1,135. —Mary Holland

Each of the 15 tented villas features open-air living rooms and plunge pools integrated into the surrounding forest.
