10 incredible hotels you can only reach by boat
Verana Facebook
It seems like the new trend in hotels these days is putting them in weird places. Like, in an airplane. Or in a treehouse.
Or in railroad cars, train stations, helicopters, or any of the other cool places they've popped up.
But what if you want to stay in a hotel so secluded from humanity that the only way to get there is on the water?
Well, you can do that too! From Florida to Thailand, Chile to Michigan, here are 10 of the best vacation spots that you'll need a boat (or a good pair of water wings) to reach.
Rayavadee Resort

The resort has its own private beach and the boat ride to/from takes you past some of the best scuba diving in the world.

Sunset Key

After only a short boat ride from its parent property at the Westin Key West Resort & Marina, you can rent a secluded cottage complete with a kitchen, and even have your groceries delivered.

Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa
Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa FacebookVisiting a South American rain forest isn't always something you'd associate with the word "luxury." But this luxe lodge at the edge of Dorita Bay in Chilean Patagonia offers easy access to the nearby temperate rain forest and Queulat National Park, as well as the chance to sail through Patagonian fjords. Also, a full spa. After flying through the Andes, a small boat will deliver you right to the lodge.
