Beyond just a routine personal hygiene activity, choosing a location close to nature and soaking in a bathtub while enjoying the tranquil atmosphere during the summer is an ideal way to relax and relieve daily stress.
To provide a more comprehensive perspective, Travellive has compiled a list of 7 unique hotels with top-rated "open-air bathing" areas in the world, for travelers and readers to explore the peaceful atmosphere these locations offer.
Conrad Maldives Resort, Rangali Island
Boasting expansive space nestled between two private islands and the world's first underwater restaurant, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is hailed as a paradise retreat. Guests here can experience waking up beside the endless expanse of the beautiful Indian Ocean, soaking in the cool waters of their villa's private infinity pool, and finally enjoying pure bliss in the outdoor shower area.
The bathrooms at Conrad Maldives feature a subtle color palette.
The resort's upscale outdoor bathing areas are exclusively for beachfront villas, featuring incredibly magnificent architecture that captivates the attention of all visitors.
Sasaab, Samburu, Kenya
According to Safari Collection magazine, the luxurious bathing area of the Sasaab resort is entirely outdoors. At Sasaab, guests can enjoy the fresh air of the nature reserve. The Sasaab resort features baths built in Moroccan architecture, creating a tranquil atmosphere where guests can relax in a soap bath and observe wildlife just outside the resort.
The bathroom was meticulously designed.
In addition, Sasaab Resort also features pristine swimming pools in ideal locations where guests can relax after sightseeing and enjoying themselves at Samburu National Park.
Maritime Hotel, New York
The Maritime Hotel, formerly the headquarters of the National Maritime Alliance, was built in 1986 by modernist architect Albert Ledner, a former student of Frank Lloyd Wright. Inspired by maritime themes, its windows are designed to resemble ship windows, along with other unique and sophisticated details.
The bathroom space here is close to nature but still ensures privacy.
But the real attraction at Maritime lies in its shower area, situated in a location offering panoramic views of the Hudson River. While New Yorkers aren't bound by many regulations, showering in public isn't considered a good idea, so at the Maritime hotel, guests can take advantage of this private space to immerse themselves in the expansive Manhattan skyline.
Azúcar Hotel, Veracruz, Mexico
For travelers who appreciate rustic simplicity yet still desire unique and aesthetically pleasing design, the Azúcar Hotel, part of the Grupo Habita group, can meet all those criteria. Located just steps from the beach and featuring a spacious outdoor shower, the Azúcar Hotel has won the hearts of guests with its simple charm and balanced, efficient services.
A dreamy setting at the resort.

The Wensley, Wensleydale, Australia
Nestled amidst 80 rolling hills, The Wensley might seem unsuitable for "nude bathing," but the reality is quite different due to the unique experiences it offers.
