Top Ten Luxury

Cool Cave Hotels

The combination of cave and luxury is not an easy find. Not content with a cave that is Luke Skywalker spare (filmed for Star Wars but based here on earth in Tunisia), we have picked the best from Cappadocia then trekked around the globe to select the top places to get more ritz from your rock. From whole hotels to single suites, we've listed places with a level of luxe to comfort your inner-troglodyte.

Prue Rushton 7/4/10

Cappadocia Cave Resort Spa, Uchisar Nevsehir

At night it hulks high above the landscape like an ancient glowing temple that wants to transport you back 1000 years.

Chongwe River House, Lower Zambezi National Park

Parked on the banks of the Chongwe River, this house has been designed to create four cave-like dwellings.

Elkep Evi Cave Hotel, Cappadocia,

It may not be the most luxe of the cave hotels, but there is something tenderly authentic about this boutique suite of caves.

Les Hautes Roches, Rochecorbon

This hotel provides an oh-so-elegant, soft-serve of cave dwelling.

Masseria Torre Coccaro, Puglia

If you do have to do business at least do it somewhere interesting.

Museum Hotel Cappadocia, Uchisar-Nevsehir,

It possesses the spectacular sort of curves that recently saw it selected as the epic backdrop for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

Perivolas Traditional Houses, Oia, Santorini,

Here white cave dwellings carve their way into the red rock cliffs of Oia. For maximum cave ask for the Perivolas suite.

The Caves, Negril,

True seekers of cave-dwelling might find the name of this hotel a bit cheeky here the accommodation consists of thirteen one and two bedroom cliffside cottages and a four bedroom deluxe villa constructed largely out of wood with thatch roofing.
