Be Tulum Resort & Spa \u2014 Tulum, Mexico<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our friends at Hotels Above Par have taken a look through the Tablet selection and picked out their favorite boho-chic hotels from destinations where the style truly sings.<\/h4>\n

“What\u2019s boho-chic?” you ask with wide-eyed innocence. It’s short for bohemian-chic, and if you’ve spent any time watching HGTV lately you’ve probably seen it mangled and misapplied a time or two, perhaps conflated with its d\u00e9class\u00e9 cousin, shabby-chic. Boho-chic is basically the opposite of greige, another staple of home makeover shows that seems created expressly to ruin interior design for the next couple of generations. <\/p>\n

Boho-chic has strong coastal vibes and connections to nature, and works especially well in beach-adjacent environments. Think earthy shades with surprising pops of color, rattan fixtures, burlap-laden chairs, wall-hanging macrame, June rugs, raffia lamps, antiques, leather, driftwood, and the occasional Polynesian surf board. It combines eccentricity and elegance, like a hundred-dollar haircut that’s intentionally messy. It tells the world, I’m a free spirit, but I still like to enjoy the benefits of a free market<\/em>. <\/p>\n

The fine folks at Hotels Above Par<\/a> are just as obsessed with cool boutique hotels as we are, and they were kind enough to reach deep into the Tablet selection and pull out the boho-chic hotels they love best \u2014 each one located in a destination where the decor feels most appropriate, from Mexico and Greece to Portugal and California. If you don’t know, now you know.

Our Habitas Atacama<\/a><\/h2>\n
San Pedro de Atacama, Chile<\/h5>\n

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

Our Habitas Atacama sits smack in the middle of its namesake location: Chile\u2019s Atacama Desert. Exterior walls contain clay, whereas homespun furnishings and tapestries sourced from local artisans pack spaces interiorly. Neutral tones bedeck guestrooms, from the linen bedding to the dangling raffia lamps. Thatched roofs shelter portions of loungers beside the pool for hot summer days. Guests can get their boho-spa life on with one of the hotel\u2019s Temescal tent treatments, which grasps energy from the next-door Lincanbur volcano.<\/p>\n

Mykonos, Greece<\/h5>\n

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

Rugged minimalism dominates the design narrative at the oh-so-calm, tr\u00e9s chic Nomad Mykonos. White walls, neutral fabrics, driftwood furnishings, curvaceous tubs, well-worn sinks, and statement vases fill the 14 rooms. Other highlights include the onsite Greek eatery Kukulu Restaurant and the orthogonal pool excavated within a patio lined with Boeotian marble.<\/p>\n

Hotel June Malibu<\/a><\/h2>\n
Malibu, CA, USA<\/h5>\n

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

Right off the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, one of the USA\u2019s unofficial boho-chic capitals, is this 13-room boutique hotel. At its 1949-built Malibu outpost, marked California-retro via its unmissable road sign, midcentury modern bungalows here take center stage: an assemblage of potted succulents and vertical cacti front the hotel\u2019s cracked-pepper exterior, then burnished concrete floors, timbered ceilings, and a white-cum-beige palette fill interiors; light millwork makes several appearances, from bunkbed frames to cantilevered desks. While there are no ocean views but rather vantage points peering out at Malibu\u2019s sun-drenched hills, the beach is a short walk away.<\/p>\n

Menorca, Spain<\/h5>\n

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

An erstwhile finca and farmhouse repurposed into a 43-room hotel, Menorca Experimental blends Art Deco design with boho-chic undercurrents. Guestrooms sport bedding with swerved lines resembling abstract illustrations and headboards laden in muted colors. Across the room, zigzag-patterned pillows lay atop banquettes, and rattan baskets invoke a beachy mood. Stone-assembled walls cocoon the main pool, the perfect place for a nap when the seasonal hotel opens from March to October.<\/p>\n

Tulum, Mexico<\/h5>\n

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

Tulum wrote the book on boho chic\u2014and the 64-key Be Tulum Resort & Spa is show & tell of it. The design harnesses the relationship between inside and outside: a narrow pool lies right beside sandy grounds dotted with gangly palm trees and tables that are a tiny fraction of their towering height. Whether it be the burlap lamps dangling from the hotel bar & restaurant\u2019s ceilings to rooms\u2019 earthy color palette (say \u201cyes\u201d to the Aire Suite and its private-plunge pool), this place oozes beach bohemian at every corner.<\/p>\n

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

Situated in Cyprus, the 18-key Agora Hotel is boho-chic to its core. From the lobby to guestrooms, wood finishings and vintage vestiges populate spaces, rattan-laced furniture appears ubiquitously, then earthy tones\u2014beiges, browns, and olive greens\u2014lather walls, bed headboards, and textured pillows. The courtyard swimming pool magnetizes guests and those unbothered about skipping out on the nearby beach. Chef Edward Guk serves Mediterranean fare at onsite restaurant Nov\u00e9l\u2014and the left-of-the-lobby bar makes for the perfect post-dinner nightcap.<\/p>\n

An hour\u2019s drive from Lisbon, this rural boutique hotel sits on Portugal\u2019s unhurried Costa de Prata.
