LIFE BY LEXUS 20
06. HOTEL ARCTIC ILULISSAT, GREENLAND
Watch colossal icebergs drift by from the deck of the world’s most northerly four-star hotel. It’s situated right on the edge of the Ilulissat Ice Fjord – a wonder of the world that’s on the Unesco World Heritage List – and is 100% carbon-neutral, to boot. Or overnight in a unique igloo cabin (made of aluminium, not ice) from May-October on the very edge of the ford and watch the view change as the ice floes move. TOP TIP: Go in summer when the sun hardly ever sleeps, painting the sky orange, and humpback whales come into the bay. CONTACT:

07. KAPARI NATURAL RESORT, SANTORINI, GREECE
06
Kapari is a sanctuary of Santorinian culture on an island that’s the second most-visited site in Greece. It was built out of 300-year-old cliff-side cave dwellings and homes – and there’s nowhere better to experience the dramatic views of the caldera and the deep blue Aegean Sea. Complementing its ancient setting, Kapari uses smart technology meters in each of its guest rooms to help reduce energy use, along with a geothermal heat pump system to minimise electricity and hot water consumption. TOP TIP: Dine in the sought-after restaurant for the very best Mediterranean cuisine, using traditional ingredients of Santorini that have been sourced from local producers. CONTACT:

08. BUSHMANS KLOOF WILDERNESS RESERVE & WELLNESS RETREAT, CEDERBERG, WESTERN CAPE
Nestled in the foothills of the dramatic Cederberg Mountains, this ecological oasis offers a distinctive, five-star wilderness experience among open plains and ancient sandstone formations.

TOP TIP: Bushmans Kloof is the custodian of over 130 unique rock art sites, some as old as 10 000 years. Get your hiking boots on and explore! CONTACT:
