A style of stay defined as much by setting as by star rating — raised timber walkways through forest canopy, or a stone cottage built into a hillside with the tree line a few steps from the door. Properties in this category are typically small (under twenty rooms is common) and staffed at a ratio that supports genuinely personal service: a guide who remembers your name from the airport transfer, a chef who asks about dietary preferences rather than assuming them. Rates usually run on an all-inclusive or full-board basis given how remote most of these properties are, so the headline nightly rate is doing more work than a city hotel's equivalent number.
