Salish Lodge & Spa \u2014 Snoqualmie, Washington, USA<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sometimes you just want to see amazing hotels atop incredible cliffs, perched high above the water below. We’re happy to oblige.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Every once in a while there’s a hotel concept that sells itself. This is one of those whiles. What else is there to say about the collection of hotels below? As promised, they are indeed on cliffs and are absolutely overlooking bodies of water. We’ve even dispensed with any pretense of variety in the photographs. No interiors were allowed in the making of this list. Just hotels, cliffs, water. <\/p>\n

Enjoy the view.

White Exclusive Suite & Villas<\/a><\/h2>\n
Azores, Portugal<\/h5>\n

\"White<\/a><\/p>\n

The Azores are a mere speck of a place, battered by the mighty Atlantic Ocean, and it’s no surprise that driftwood features heavily in the interiors at\u00a0White Exclusive Suite & Villas, as its cliffside location means the pounding of the surf is never far from your mind.<\/p>\n

Rockhouse Hotel<\/a><\/h2>\n
Negril, Jamaica<\/h5>\n

\"Rockhouse<\/a><\/p>\n

The parcel of land occupied by the Rockhouse is literally Jamaica\u2019s westernmost point, and it\u2019s possible you\u2019ve never seen a proper sunset until you\u2019ve seen one here \u2014 and there’s no better way to do it than from a villa that practically hangs over the waters of the aptly named Pristine Cove.<\/p>\n

Hotel Santa Caterina<\/a><\/h2>\n
Amalfi, Italy<\/h5>\n

\"Cap<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the rare traditional-style hotel that really gets hearts racing, but the Santa Caterina is an absolute classic. Family-owned for the better part of a century, it sits high on a hillside facing the sea and the town of Amalfi \u2014 guests ride an elevator down to the hotel\u2019s private beach, for the ultimate storybook Italian-coast experience.<\/p>\n

Faro Capo Spartivento<\/a><\/h2>\n
Sardinia, Italy<\/h5>\n

\"Rimba<\/a><\/p>\n

Lighthouses don\u2019t get much more grand than the 160-year-old Faro Capo Spartivento, on the rugged southern coast of Sardinia. While the light is still in service, it\u2019s automated now, freeing this unique building (and the neighboring keeper\u2019s cottage) to transform itself into a small and secluded luxury hotel. The sea views, naturally, are extraordinary, given the cliffside setting.<\/p>\n

La Casa Que Canta<\/a><\/h2>\n
Zihuatanejo, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"La<\/a><\/p>\n

Zihuatanejo, just four miles down the coast from Ixtapa, was until recently little more than a quiet fishing village. La Casa Que Canta sits high over the water, cut into a hillside above Zihuatanejo Bay, offering an extraordinary sea view as well as a splendid sense of seclusion.<\/p>\n

Cliff House Hotel<\/a><\/h2>\n
Waterford, Ireland<\/h5>\n

\"Cliff<\/a><\/p>\n

With a name like that, you knew it had to make this list. Modern architecture and Irish hospitality are two categories whose Venn diagram features a fairly small overlap. But a look at the view from the Cliff House Hotel\u2019s indoor pool will make a convert out of the most die-hard traditionalist.<\/p>\n

Snoqualmie, Washington, USA<\/h5>\n

\"Cliff<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve seen Twin Peaks, you\u2019re plenty familiar with the Salish Lodge\u2019s dramatic situation. Startlingly close to Seattle, in the foothills a half-hour east of the city, stands Snoqualmie Falls, a 270-foot clue as to how the Cascade mountain range got its name. And just above the falls \u2014 almost perilously close \u2014 is one of the Northwest\u2019s most remarkable hotels, the Salish.<\/p>\n

Timber Cove Resort<\/a><\/h2>\n
Jenner, California, USA<\/h5>\n

\"Timber<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sixties-era Timber Cove, built of native redwood and stone, was originally conceived as a meditation lodge. After thorough renovations in 2016, it\u2019s more rustic-chic than strictly rustic \u2014 in-room amenities include modern record players, yoga mats, and organic bath products \u2014 but it\u2019s still as peaceful as ever.<\/p>\n

The Twelve Apostles<\/a><\/h2>\n
Camps Bay, South Africa<\/h5>\n

\"Twelve<\/a><\/p>\n

Sandwiched between the mountains of the same name and the rocky Atlantic coast, Twelve Apostles is nevertheless the kind of hotel you expect to find in the city center, not well outside of town in such a picturesque setting. It’s just two stories high, low along the rocky coast, and many rooms have nearly an entire wall made of glass \u2014 so the view is simply blue sky and blue sea.<\/p>\n

Weligama Bay, Sri Lanka<\/h5>\n

\"Cape<\/a><\/p>\n

Here the Thai architect Lek Bunnag took inspiration from Sri Lanka\u2019s long history as an explorers\u2019 waystation, incorporating elements from the island\u2019s pre-modernist history in this classic-contemporary resort.\u00a0Cape Weligama is set on 12 acres of terraced clifftop real estate, a hundred feet above the Indian Ocean, which, as you may well imagine, is not at all bad for the views.<\/p>\n

Explora Patagonia<\/a><\/h2>\n
Torres del Paine, Chile<\/h5>\n

\"Explora<\/a><\/p>\n

This modernist lodge stands just yards from the Salto Chico waterfall, with the peaks of the Paine massif looming just behind. So the fifty rooms and suites do their best to feel cozy and inviting. There are some self-consciously rustic touches, as well as some clean modern lines, but above all, the views predominate \u2014 interior design, in this environment, is somewhat secondary.<\/p>\n

Reid’s Palace<\/a><\/h2>\n
Funchal, Portugal<\/h5>\n

\"Belmond<\/a><\/p>\n

A massive renovation might have set nerves on edge among Reid\u2019s regulars, but this grand old palace on the terraced hillside above the Bay of Funchal has come through with flying colors. Nothing essential was disturbed in this listed landmark; the classic guest rooms have been modernized in function, if not in style, and the twin swimming pools now boast infinity edges to make the most of the bay view.<\/p>\n

Izumo Hotel The Cliff<\/a><\/h2>\n
Kumura, Japan<\/h5>\n

\"Izumo<\/a><\/p>\n

Though its name may sound fanciful, Izumo Hotel The Cliff is intended quite literally. It stands not atop a cliff but in fact within one \u2014 its eight rooms are carved bunker-like into the cliffside, and each one is given a perfectly framed view out to sea from its own ultra-private recessed balcony. The interiors are a minimalist mix of brutalist raw concrete and delicate woodwork. <\/p>\n

Bulgari Resort Bali<\/a><\/h2>\n
Bali, Indonesia<\/h5>\n

\"Bulgari<\/a><\/p>\n

Villas cascade down the terraced hillside, topped by thatched roofs, their interiors decorated in a style that\u2019s at once traditional-Indonesian and modern-Milanese. The Italian designer Antonio Citterio’s clean lines practically define contemporary elegance, and for dramatic edge-of-the-world landscape you could do a lot worse than southern Bali.<\/p>\n
