10 unforgettable hotel bathtubs
Some hotels are so good you never leave the room. In these, you may not leave the bathroom
Bathing can be so much more than a mindless chore. Travelers looking to clean up will find that blowing bubbles in these tubs is definitely not kid’s stuff.
10. Afrika House, Bambu Indah (Bali, Indonesia)
Bathers get an excellent view of Ayung River Valley from inside this heavily hand-beaten copper tub -- which is entirely exposed to the elements and those who tend them.
Recycled wood was used to construct the open-air bathroom attached to this re-purposed 19th century Javanese prince’s house. Not that most bathers will have saving the world on their minds as they stare at the climax of Mount Batu Kau on the horizon.
Price: US$260 per night
Website: Bambu Indah
9. Ginger Suite, Clove Hall (Penang, Malaysia)
It takes a whopping 45 minutes to fill this behemoth stone bath, the only one at the gentlemen’s club turned six-suite B&B.
Anticipation is half the thrill, and guests are more than welcome to roll around on the handwoven bed linens while they wait.
Price: US$210 per night
Website: Clove Hall
8. Lagoon Bungalows, Huvafen Fushi (Maldives)
At this Indian Ocean-facing basin built for two, schools of flying fish break the surface as does the occasional snorkeler.
Bathers also have the opportunity to dunk with resident baby sharks and sting rays (body parts are of of no interest to these tuna-eating flesh seekers).
Price: US$1,400 per night;
