Declutter: Minimalist Hotels

“When life feels busy and cluttered, minimalist living can be just the escape you need. Sure, a beach break, or even a wellness retreat, can be great for clearing your mind – but you can take it one step further with accommodation that embraces the minimalist principles of simplifying. Understanding that less is more, these five minimalist hotels create a sense of calm and simple beauty that’s perfect for unplugging, decluttering and simplifying.

Treehotel, Lulea, Sweden
—————————–

Few places are as synonymous with minimalist architecture as Scandinavia. The hallmarks we all recognise are clean lines, lack of clutter, and structures that merge into the background to let their surroundings take the spotlight. Just like Treehotel in Sweden. Seven themed rooms give a modern, minimalist take on classic treehouse design, perched above the forest floor, blending into the trees. On the inside, each deceptively different structure gets the same treatment with clean lines, wood cladding and natural materials perfect for tranquillity and reflection whatever the season.

Tierra Patagonia Hotel & Spa, Torres del Paine, Chile
———————————————————-

A Scandi-inspired retreat, Tierra Patagonia Hotel & Spa stands in the Patagonian wilderness overlooking plains towards the glacial lakes and craggy granite mountains of Torres del Paine National Park. The hotel has two objectives: to blend into the incredible beauty of its surroundings, and to provide adventurers with a true retreat. And it nails both. Putting a focus on natural materials, this minimalist hotel and spa uses Patagonia’s native lenga wood, merging seamlessly into the landscape. The silhouette of the Cordillera Paine mountains serves as a backdrop for Uma Spa, where explorers can unwind.

Torre de Palma Wine Hotel, Monforte, Portugal
————————————————–

Portuguese architect Jo√£o Mendes Ribeiro turns winery design on its head, bringing sleek white lines to his minimalist Torre de Palma Wine Hotel. Like many old wineries, its original buildings give the exterior a traditional character. But the hotel’s concrete-and-timber interior conveys a clean, smooth, quiet feel. Step into the paved yard edged by a white marble path, and you’ll find a vineyard, rectangular swimming pool, olive grove, orchard and kitchen garden. The perfect place to enjoy wine and food in absolute peace.

Almyra, Paphos, Cyprus
—————————

In Greek mythology Paphos is where Aphrodite, goddess of beauty, rose from the sea. That couldn’t be a more apt setting for this waterfront hotel. Almyra takes minimalism to its purest level. The exterior, walls, bedlinen and soft furnishings are all crisp, clean and simple in calming white. True to minimalist form, the building’s lines are strong and symmetrical, bringing the clarity and simplicity of modern architecture in contrast to the locale’s ancient ruins and deep blue sea. Expect designer furniture in each room, private terraces and manicured gardens.
