One of the best things about traveling—aside from learning about other cultures and experiencing new places—is staying at incredible locations that you wouldn’t normally come across. Especially if that location includes a luxurious bathtub!
I’m talking a magnificent clawfoot one, or one with gorgeous views, maybe even something rustic up in the mountains. Because why not? There’s nothing more relaxing than enjoying a soak while on vacation. Oh, and that incredible bathtub up there? It’s located at Sable Alley in Botswana.
Here’s a roundup of some of the most incredible bathtubs from around the world!
