Is there anything more
magical than looking up on a quiet night to see a sky full of stars? We
think not, which is why you need to check out these five open-air hotels, all of which offer some of the best opportunities for stargazing in the entire world—right from your own bed.

Ten of L’And’s 22 suites
feature retractable roofs like the one above. Surrounded by a vineyard
in Montemor-o-Novo in Portugal, you can expect next-level meals at a
Michelin-starred restaurant, total relaxation at the Caudalie Spa and
what might be the best wine tastings you’ve ever experienced. We have a
feeling you’ll fall asleep easy here.

Overlooking Northern Italy’s
Lake Iseo and the vineyards of Franciacorta, the 5-star chateaux
includes a state-of-the-art Espace Chenot spa and the Italian bistro.
But look up from that Milanese veal chop, because the most spectacular
offering is its Cabriolet Suite, which features a retractable roof above
a luxurious bed.

Calling all serious
stargazers: Elqui Domos in Chile’s Coquimbo region doesn’t mess around
when it comes to astronomy. In addition to being able to stay in domed
structures that are outfitted with a zip-away ceiling panel, the hotel
also boasts an astronomic observatory that houses Ceslestron and
Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes (translation: really fancy telescopes).

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, Finland

These rooms aren’t
technically outdoors (Finland gets pretty cold, you know), but
Kakslauttanen’s glass igloos—which are available from mid-August to
April—are spacious, heated and provide incredible views of the sky.
Before settling in for a night of staring at the sky, take advantage of
the resort’s many super fun activities, like dog sledding and ice
fishing.
Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, South Africa

OK, so you have to be pretty brave to stay in this tree house (which
was built in 1933 as a photographer’s platform), but if you’re gusty
enough to try it, you’ll never forget it. Guests can have dinner at Lion
Sands’ lodge being escorted more than two miles to the tree house with
mosquito repellent, torches and a two-way radio, before being left alone
until morning. And since we know you’re wondering, yes, you’ll probably
hear more than a few lions roaring throughout the night.
