The world's most remote hotels

To get to the Bloomfield Lodge in Queensland, Australia, you must hop on a chartered plane, drive through the Outback, then cruise down a river. Then you'll find yourself in an oasis of beauty and solitude, in a hotel located in the Daintree Rainforest and right by the Great Barrier Reef.

While there, you can hike through rainforests, swim in waterfalls, fish, sail and - at the end of the day - receive a well-earned massage. You'll be lucky to see another soul.

World's most outrageous guest requests

Same goes for the Andean Cottage in Peru, where everything is about privacy. Guests have a private beach and dock at a private retreat on a private island in Lake Titicaca. There are no automobiles, electricity or televisions, but there is a 24-hour butler. Better bring some good books (real books, not e-books). A speedboat gets you there in 4.5 hours.
