Silence, slowness and space are the new luxury. In this era of dispersion and fragmentation, it is more necessary than ever before to take a distance and return to life's essentials. Remote - places to stay offers you 22 out-of-the-way places where you can switch off and tune in to the world around and inside you. These places are literally remote and often difficult to reach - some only accessible on foot, others by mountain train, small boat or bush plane - but they are all places where you will find more space for yourself. From luxurious to basic, from the Arctic North to the desert landscapes of Africa, from a peaceful retreat in the Himalayas to an abandoned village in the stiletto of Italy. Each one more refined and exquisitely tasteful than the next, and a visual journey you will never forget.
