12 of the most jaw-dropping hotel beds that you will never want to leave
Comfiness with an added splash of an incred view
Hotel beds are a thing of wonder.
Always the most comfortable, spacious and dreamiest spot for a well-needed re-energising sleep, so much so that when you return to your normal bed after a break away you can't help but be a tad disappointed.
In homage to the hotel bed, we mark World Sleep Day (which is a thing and is today, didn't you know?) by looking at some of the most out-of-this world hotel beds.
From sleeping directly under to the stars, below sea level or waking up to stare directly at the ocean, here are some that you can dream about, erm, having actual dreams in...
Milaidhoo Island, Maldives
If sleeping outside isn't your usual preference, you'll surely make an exception when it's on the beach, in a four poster bed in the Maldives. Milaidhoo Island have launched a new 'Sleep under the Stars' experience where couples staying at the hotel can spend the night on their own private sandbank. There's a private yacht anchored nearby with a dressing room and bathroom and a phone connected to a private butler is placed nearby. This sleeping experience also follows a sunset dolphin cruise we might add.
The Sleep Under the Stars Experience starts from $3,000 per night (£2,600).

Jade Mountain, St Lucia
The luxury Caribbean resort eliminates the fourth wall in all rooms so that guests can fully immerse themselves in with the surroundings.
Look out at the Caribbean Sea and the Piton Mountains all why having a cup of tea in bed, before walking literally a few steps out of bed to your own pool of course.
Nightly rates start from £840.
Singita Kruger National Park, South Africa
In the Singita Lebombo Lodge at Singita Kruger National Park, there's two choices of dreamy beds overlooking the plains where lions, giraffe, zebra and more all live. There's the actual bed and then a day bed outside, complete with a mosquito net, so guests can choose to sleep under the African night's sky instead.
Rates start from £1,165 pp per night.
Northern Lights Village, Finland
You can also sleep under the stars in Finland, but given the country's typical climate, luckily you're protected by a glass enclosure. At the Northern Lights Village in Saariselka, the beds are positioned directly under the glass ceiling so you can catch the magical northern lights which illuminate the sky and hopefully spot some shooting stars too, according to Hotels.com.
Prices start from £254 per night.
The Muraka, Conrad, Maldives
The master suite of the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is the first of its kind, in that it's located five metres below sea level. With a bedroom that's encased in acrylic, you can watch the passing sea life swim by and maybe have a few strange dreams at first. Unsurprisingly, it's estimated a four-night stay in the Muraka - complete with all other hotel inclusions - could cost $260,000 (£196,000).
Price on application.
Matesti Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Another watching-animals-from-your-bed situation happens at the River Lodge Suites of the Matesti Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. The room overlooks a private 15km stretch of the Zambezi river, just 45 minutes away from the iconic Victoria Falls, so you could see hippos and crocodiles float past all from the confides of your own bed.
Suite start from £535 pp.
Keemala, Thailand
Nestled in the trees and hills of Phuket is Keemala which features villas which look out over the Andaman Sea. The Bird's Nest villas feature a pool and outdoor sun deck and a bed right behind the windows to look out over the ocean. As well as the views, the oversized beds are draped in soft Egyptian cotton, according to Expedia.
Rates start from £413.
The Yeatman, Porto, Portugal
If you are a lover of both bed and wine then this is the sleeping environment for you. In the Presidential Suite of The Yeatman hotel in the Portuguese city of Porto, you can sleep in an actual wine barrel. The hotel is set in the Port wine lodges and described as a "haven for wine lovers" - with wine masterclasses, wine dinners, wine cellars etc - so there's plenty of drinking opportunities to be had before bedtime too.
Rates start from £220.
Ecocamp Patagonia, Chile
Situated in the Torres del Paine national park in Patagonia, guests can be at one with nature by staying in the eco-domes, which are inspired by the "ancient dwellings of the region" according to Booking.com. In the daytime, guests can hike and check out the local animals. After a comfy night's sleep (from the looks of it) you can wake up and be in awe of the incredible mountainous scenery as all rooms feature a beds view lookout.
Rates start from £287.
Six Senses Yao Noi, Thailand
In Phang Nga Bay lies the Six Senses resort which recently opened its one-bedroom villa called 'The View' giving a sign of what can be expected. High up on the hill, the villa offers panoramic views of the Andaman sea and also offers a bespoke sleep service. Guests have access to their own Sleep Ambassador who provides a tailored sleep programmes for guests during their stay. The bed also features a 'cooling zone' so those sleeping in it can find the perfect sleeping temperature - and presumably not have to rely on the old foot out the bed trick.
Rates start from £1,489.
Whitepod, Switzerland
Found in the Swiss Alps, Whitepod is a series of igloo-style pods located on the snowy hillside, 1,313 feet above sea level, in Les Giettes. There's a floor to ceiling window facing the valley so you can lookout from bed when you're all tucked up after a day of skiing.
Rates from £221.
Eccleston Square Hotel, London
