Conrad Pezula – Knysna, South Africa

This hotel may actually be appealing to real royalty, since it bills itself as “one of the most exclusive and extraordinary properties in the world,” according to its website. The resort is actually a collection of three castles, one sitting beachfront, one with garden surroundings, and one adjacent to a cliff vista.

Each castle boasts private suites with over-the-top amenities like wood-burning fireplaces, fresh flowers, and wine cellars. Guest reviews mention the incredible service and the location as the perfect place for a special getaway or honeymoon. All this luxury can be yours, as the standard rooms (which also have fireplaces) are surprisingly affordable – in the off-season, nightly rates start around $150.
