Sometimes the best hotel amenities are the low-tech ones — like a gently swaying hammock beneath the shade of a palm tree. These are some of our favorite hotel hammocks, from Brazil to the Bahamas.
Take a morning flight from a major American city and, by mid-afternoon, you could be enjoying a post-lunch siesta in one of Pico Bonito’s hammocks. Each of the cabins comes with one, suspended above a private deck that’s surrounded by four-hundred acres of wilderness on the Caribbean coast.

A dip in the pool, a cocktail by the bluer-than-blue sea, a stroll on the warm white sand, and a snooze in one of the cushiest hammocks around — this is about as tough as life gets at the Sofitel So Mauritius, an exemplary tropical island hotel if ever we’ve seen one.

Seeing as this ten-room resort is also a coconut farm, you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding the shade of a palm tree to sway under. And lazing in a hammock is just the right speed for taking in the nearly deserted Bahian beach at this low-key, solar-powered estate.

With its postcard-perfect scenery, the Riviera Maya Maya has plenty of impressive hammocks — but the scene from the vantage point of a hammock at La Reve is about as pure as it gets, with nothing in view but white sand a wash of aquamarine beyond.

Beaches aren’t the only places for hammocks. Spoor62, a two-room converted train station in the countryside outside Bruges, has a well-padded hammock that easily rivals the dreaminess of the oceanside competition. It’s set beneath a stand of mossy trees in a quiet garden, with a sea of rolling fields just beyond.

Even the most basic rooms at the Harmony Hotel have big private patios with their own hammocks — perfect for a nap after an afternoon of surfing, practicing yoga or swimming in the beautiful (and chlorine-free) pool at this wellness-focussed resort.

Where the sand is pink, the hammocks are blue — at least in the case of this Bahamian hotel on far-flung Harbour Island. Pair your gentle swing in the breeze with one of the hotel’s tropical cocktails and settle in for the ride to Caribbean nirvana.
