If the last 12 months have taught us anything, it’s that nature is tonic. More than a balm for uneasy times, the great outdoors offers a break from the daily urban grind, and an opportunity to reconnect with natural environments. From a series of cottages set deep in the forest in the Japanese town of Hakone, to an old-world hideaway in the Californian desert, join Design Hotels for an immersion in some of the world’s most inspiring natural settings.
