If you happen to travel to Shanghai, you might want to book a night at the Holiday Inn and experience a swim in their 24th story glass-bottom swimming pool. The swimming pool extends out from the hotel, with the deep end floating over the air and nothing but water, and hopefully a very thick glass, between you and the ground.

Located southeast of Rome, Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa is a 17th century monastery converted into a luxurious hotel with only 20 rooms and suites. With so few guests the hotel can accommodate at the same time, you are sure to experience a relaxed and energizing stay.
The spa is absolutely heavenly. You'll be stunned by the semi-tropical gardens, the infinity pool blending into the sea, and the sunset terrace overlooking the Amalfi Coast – "a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there but becomes beckoningly real after you are gone" – John Steinbeck, 1953.

So this is not your usual bridge. Installed near Bir-Hakeim, a bridge that crosses the Seine River in Paris, this surreal bridge consists of giant inflatable rings, 30 meters in diameter, with a trampoline mesh stretched inside. AZC, the team behind this project, wanted to create a newer and more playful way than the traditional bridges in Paris to get across, and they surely did! Release yourself from gravity and bounce your way above the river!

Eating underwater is one of the exotic features you will find at the Conrad Maldives Resort on the Rangali Island. The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is 16 feet below the sea level and offers a spectacular panoramic view of reef and marine life as an all-glass barrier is the only thing separating you from the water. You'll be marvelled as you'll find yourself dining with colorful fishes and sharks!
This unique room can then be transformed to accommodate a wedding ceremony or into a private bedroom suite under special occasions.
And when the fiesta is over, you'll have to go back up to reality…
which is just as heavenly!
