Private Pavilion SAFFIRE FREYCINET, TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA

Built with environmental sustainability at its core, the stunning Saffire Freycinet — whose main building is shaped like a stingray — is both healing its site and offering visitors the time of their lives. The hotel has planted 30,000 native plants to restore the property, which was previously an RV campground in the Freycinet National Park, and also has programs for bushfire management and rainwater collection. Saffire runs a Tasmanian devil enclosure as part of the Save the Devils conservation effort (the marsupials have lost 80 percent of their population in the past decade to a facial tumor disease, and the resort is one of the key partners in studies to find a vaccine). Guests are invited to support the cause with the Adopt a Devil initiative. The Private Pavilions are the most spacious suites, featuring a lounge, private deck, two internal courtyards and a plunge pool. Special amenities Complimentary champagne, dining room and kitchen facilities for one of Saffire Freycinet’s highly acclaimed chefs to cook for you in-suite Size 1,500 sq ft

Number of bedrooms One Nightly rate from $2,800
