Going off the grid doesn't mean having to camp in the wilderness and battling the elements.
Nowadays, there are some incredible remote hotels around the world that are ideal for escaping into some incredible landscapes, while still offering plenty of luxury with incredible rooms, private pools and spectacular surroundings.
We're talking a luxury camp in Antarctic scenery, a swanky lodge hidden in South Africa's wilderness, and some dreamy lavish hotels nestled amidst the lush jungle greenery.
Of course with the coronavirus pandemic, currently travel restrictions mean holidays to some of these spots are off the cards for Brits - but it doesn't hurt to dream a little for the days when we can travel properly again.
We take a look at the world's top 10 most incredible remote hotels. Check out the list below...
1. Fogo Inn, Canada
This quirky inn sits on an 'island, off an island' and has just 29 rooms, each offering dramatic views of the rugged, rocky landscape and ocean.
Its remote location is ideal for those who want to feel like they're out in the wilderness - but with the chic rooms and fine dining restaurant, you'll still have heaps of modern comforts at your fingertips.
The inn is owned by charity Shorefast, and all of its profits are re-invested in the community of Fogo Island.
Prices start from approximately £1,148 for stays in 2021.
2. Mashpi Lodge, Ecuador
This resort is nestled away in the middle of a private 2,965-acre nature reserve, so you really are immersed in the lush green setting.
The site is in a remote location so you can enjoy the sounds of nature, including the various bird calls - over a quarter of Ecuador's bird species live in the reserve.
There's an observation tower for guests who want to take in views of the canopy, or adventurers can take on the 'Dragonfly' zip line experience.
As for the hotel itself? Expect luxurious suites, restaurants serving up gourmet dishes, and even an on-site spa.
Stays are on an all-inclusive basis, which covers most of the activities from birdwatching to hikes.
Prices start from $7,088 (approx £5,503) based on a seven-night stay in May 2021.
3. Pater Noster, Sweden
This nine-bedroom hotel once served as a home for lighthouse keepers and their families, due to the lighthouse which sits on the rocky island. (You can read more here).
The island itself is barren and has been previously described as 'inhabitable', not to mention it can only be reached by boat or helicopter.
Have no fear though - the hotel boasts chic and modern decor, while the on-site restaurant serves up some seriously delicious local fare.
Prices start from £442pp a night, which includes breakfast and dinner.
4. Deplar Farm, Iceland
It's easy to go off the grid at this converted sheep farm in the heart of Fljót Valley, sitting in the Troll Peninsula of northern Iceland.
In the summer expect sprawling green countryside, towering peaks and heaps of fun adventures to be had, while come winter those floor-to-ceiling windows are ideal when the Northern Lights shine brightly across the night skies.
The hotel may be remote, but there's plenty to do from hiking and cycling to whale watching in the surrounding fjords - or of course, the on-site spa never fails to be a hit with guests!
Prices vary depending on your chosen season and activities.
5. Skylodge Suites, Peru
Natura Vive's Skylodge Adventure Suites are not for the faint-hearted; they're literally hanging off the side of a mountain, 1200ft above the ground below.
Still, that makes for some pretty spectacular views of the Sacred Valley of Cuzco in Peru.
The capsules themselves are fully transparent and include a toilet and sink, not to mention a dining area so you can enjoy breakfast with a view.
The only way to reach them is either by zipline, or climbing their ferrata (ladder-like steps).
Prices start from approximately £292pp, but can vary depending on whether you choose the zipline or ladder steps.
6. Noka Camp, South Africa
Tucked away in the heart of the spectacular Lapalala Wilderness Reserve, you won't need to compromise on views at these five villas at the Lepogo Lodges' Noka Camp.
Each one comes with a private pool, a sunken bathtub with direct views of the landscape, and floor-to-ceiling windows around each property.
Then there's the location in the huge reserve meaning you can go on plenty of game drives and water safaris, not to mention activities on offer include tree top yoga sessions, bush walks, river swimming.
Unfortunately, this one's definitely a 'dream destination' stay - prices start from £9,072 a night, although the silver lining is that it's on an all-inclusive basis.
7. Pacuare Lodge, Costa Rica
This lodge in the Pacuare Protected Zone of the Costa Rican rainforest can't be accessed by car or public transport - the best way to reach it is by water rafting, or a helicopter ride. (There are some private transfers organised by the lodge for those who prefer to stay on land).
The lodge itself offers a rustic chic feel, but there are some pretty incredible suites with direct views of the surrounding lush greenery (not to mention private pools and outdoor bath tubs).
Guests can enjoy heaps of different activities including canyoning, hiking and birdwatching.
Prices start from $1,061 (approx £825) a night for stays in spring 2021.
8. White Desert Oasis, Antarctica
If you're looking to go off the grid, then Antarctica is just about as remote as you can get!
The Whichaway Oasis camp in Schirmacher Oasis, Queen Maud land, is surrounded by glacial lakes and overlooks the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Guests staying here can go on expeditions to the South Pole, visit the home of emperor penguins, and go on plenty of excursions to explore the vast and spectacular landscape.
Prices depend on your choice of holiday - there are short breaks as well as full 24-day itineraries on offer.
9. Rayavadee, Thailand
Hidden away on the edge of Krabi's National Marine Park, this luxurious resort is easy to reach but still offers an isolated location.
The surrounding landscape boasts limestone cliffs, sandy beaches and lush green palm trees.
Highlights include the resort's pool which overlooks the ocean (or, some of the villas have their own private pools if you prefer), while the on-site restaurants and bars make for the ideal spot for dining with a view.
Prices start from THB 18,900 per night (approx £464) for a stay in a Deluxe Pavillion.
10. Nayara Gardens, Costa Rica
Sleeping in the jungle just became a glamorous experience thanks to these luxury villas tucked away in the Costa Rican rainforest.
The resort offers rooms surrounded by the trees as well as private plunge pools from hot springs, while the yoga pavillion and on-site pools are just as tempting.
Oh, and for those feeling peckish, the resort boasts some brilliant restaurants, as well as a piano lounge and bar for post-dinner entertainment.
Prices start from $312 a night (approximately £241), based on a stay in a Casitas Deluxe.
