igloos. Its guests can enjoy the winter activities including watching the Northern Lights, which can be seen generally from late August to late April. Guests can experience the peace of sleeping in snow. The glass igloos are fantastic for lying on your bed at night, watching the Northern Lights in the warm.
Art Hotel in Ronda
Beautifully situated in the oldest street of Ronda and surrounded by historic buildings, Art Hotel is decorated with original and historical artwork and atmospheric lighting. There is lots of fun, e.g. lights and birds settling in old basketballs and wall mural (壁画) of Michael Jackson. The hotel has 12 double rooms of different types, each with its own character.
Otter Creek(小溪) Tents
The tents are separated from the rest of the world by a quiet salt-water creek. The secret place preserves the peace of guests, with the salt water of the creek keeping even the mosquitoes away.
Each tent has a double bed, a western style toilet and bathroom with running water and hot shower. The tents use the dining equipment of the charming “Elsewhere” beach houses and enjoy over a mile of the beach where one can still see the footprints of fishermen, and during the season, possibly the prints of sea turtles.
The Original Icehotel
“Imagine a hotel built from thousands of tons of snow and ice, and rebuilt every winter.” --- That is Icehotel in northern Lapland, Sweden. With over 80 rooms, the hotel is a huge task to be rebuilt every year. The building materials --- 10,000 tons of ice and 30,000 tons of snow --- are all supplied by Mother Nature. The hotel stays open as long as weather permits (late April to early May).
