Wanderlust of the Week: Queenstown, New Zealand

Angel Elliott

Honestly, I've been wanderlusting after a trip to New Zealand, ever since I became a hiking obsessed, part-time granola, which has been, pretty much, forever. My lust reached a fever pitch just now, when I happened to be looking for hotels for a little island getaway, and Pounamu Apartments in Queenstown dipped across my screen. Imagine, apartments that you can rent, that are spacious, with floor to ceiling windows, overlooking New Zealand's bucolic majesty, with a fully stocked and loaded kitchen that you can cook in (the cooking part might not sound like a vacation to some, but for meeee? I love to cook.) 

Featuring 5-star, luxury accommodations, views overlooking The Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu, an outside, acclaimed spa, complimentary concierge, and up to 2-bedroom apartments so you can take your little brats, I mean! Babies, kids, if you have any, this place is a no brainer. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

Wanderlust of the Week: Verana Hotel in Yelapa, Mexico

Angel Elliott

Any place where you have to take a 3 hour plane ride, and then a drive, and then a 30 minute boat ride, and then a mule, yes mule ride up to location? You know it must be exotic. Enter the beautiful, bucolic Verana Hotel in the fishing village of Yelapa, Mexico. 

With a rustic yet modern aesthetic the 8 individual guest rooms known as "V-houses" were designed by Heinz Legler. Each room at the Verana features plush bedding, and stunning views of the Caribbean sea from their high perch atop the Yelapa hillside. Though secluded, this luxurious hotel features and infinity pool, spa, restaurants and a yoga hut. Although you have to take a boat to get here, with the 5 star food and personalized amenities, you won't want to get back to the mainland anytime soon. 

Imagine having Cinco de Mayo here? Enjoy the photos above!

Wanderlust of the Week: Chile's EcoCamp Patagonia

Angel Elliott

Thinking about backpacking through Patagonia? Nah, okay. Even if it wasn't on your bucket list of places to visit because you aren't the perpetual nature lover like me, this dope eco-camp, that makes camping look glamourous may change your mind.

Scene set: A brilliant night, cloudless, with stars and constellation gleaming above. Awe-inspiring snow capped granite mountains, lush greenery and pristine waterways surround you. Nestled in this unearthly wilderness is EcoCamp Patagonia, an award-winning sustainable lodge in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park. Here, you can appreciate nature up close and personal while still enjoying luxurious amenities like polar fleece sheets, woolen blankets, feather quilts, gourmet fare, yoga instruction and tons more. The suits are individual octagonal domes, ranging from one bedroom, to two-floor loft style domes. The dopest part about the lodge is when you book your stay, your package includes tours, food and other amenities for your maximum nature enjoyment. 

Staying at the EcoCamp, you'll come across travelers with varying levels of hiking aptitude. Even if you're a novice, the lodge will set up hikes ranging from easy to strenuous, so that may fully enjoy Chile's bucolic scenery. 

I'll be hitting this place in May. Let me know if you're down.

Wanderlust of the Week: Adrére Amellal, Egypt

Angel Elliott

 A glorious oasis from another era, situated in a white limestone mountain, located in Siwa, one of the world's most remote desert locations is Adrere Amellal. The Egyptian eco-hotel has no electricity and no telephones, and while this seems like punishment to some urbanites, a social media and electronic disconnect is sometimes VERY necessary and therapeutic. Unplug folks! 

Not only is the hotel made out of kershef, a mixture of earth, stone and salt water, but the furniture is made out of the same, covered with luxe cushions and linens. You'll find that the hotel restaurant's food is all organic, grown on the grounds in a simple garden. Relax in Adrere Amellal's spa and spring water pool, while you watch Africa's blazing sun set in the east. Your room is romantically lit with candles and lanterns, with rooms that feature an unobstructed view of a night sky, constellations hanging above you. 

This unique eco-luxury isn't everyone's style, but for adventurous, this place is paradise.

Wanderlust of the Week: The Amangiri Luxury Resort in Utah

Angel Elliott

For all of The Amangiri Resort's grandiose beauty, it sits unassumingly nestled in the 600 acre desert landscape of Canyon Point, Utah, as if it grew out of the sand and lofty bluffs itself. It's modern luxurious design was built in the earth tones of it's surrounding, making the hotel all the more bucolic. 

The resort is a 25-minute drive from Page, Arizona, the town that houses the amazing Antelope Canyon, and a 15-minute drive to the shores of Lake Powell. With an almost magnanimous stone escarpment in the middle of a sizable pool, a cellar, spa and library, this hotel has all the comforts of home, plus some sapiosexual additions. 

Sixteen suites are located within the Desert Wing and another 18 suites together with the Aman Spa are located within the Mesa Wing. Every suite features unspoiled views of the valley.

Ready to tear yourself away from the property? Launch a helicopter, hot air balloon, or fixed-wing flight directly from Amangiri. The hotel also offers Lake Powell boat tours, yoga and pilates, or take guided hiking trails through the caves and up vistas. 

Glorious.
